If you're following a gluten-free casein-free diet, you may think pizza is out. Not true! You actually can buy frozen GFCF pizza at the supermarket, or you can make your own using cheese substitutes and a frozen GFCF pizza crust.
Here's what's available for people following a gluten-free casein-free diet in GFCF pizzas:
1. Amy's Kitchen GFCF Frozen Pizza
Amy's Kitchen produces a rice crust soy-based mozzarella and ricotta "cheeze" spinach pizza that's gluten-free and contains no dairy ingredients. The 14-inch pizza can feed two people.
The company tests its products in-house to make sure they contain less than 5 parts per million (ppm) of gluten.
2. BOLD Organics GFCF Frozen Pizza
Brand-new company BOLD Organics is making four different GFCF frozen pizzas: "cheese," veggie lovers, meat lovers and deluxe. All use a vegan cheese substitute based on tofu, and two of the pizzas (cheese and veggie lovers) also qualify as vegan gluten-free frozen pizzas.
BOLD Organics holds gluten-free certification from the Celiac Sprue Association, which requires products test below 5 parts per million in gluten cross-contamination. The company also holds organic and non-GMO certifications.
3. Whole Foods 365 GFCF Frozen Pizza
Whole Foods makes a GFCF frozen pizza under its 365 in-store brand label. The pizza includes no cheese substitutes; instead, it's topped with roasted vegetables.
The company labels this pizza as containing "no gluten ingredients" rather than calling it gluten-free because it's produced in a plant that also makes gluten-containing items. Whole Foods reports that the plant uses "good manufacturing procedures" to avoid cross contamination.
4. Glutino Spinach GFCF Pizza
Glutino's individual-sized brown rice pizza is topped with spinach and soy "cheese" made with tofu. The dairy-free GFCF pizza does contain eggs.
Glutino tests its products to contain fewer than 20ppm of gluten.
5. Ian's Soy Cheesy GFCF Pizza
Ian's Natural Foods offers a GFCF frozen pizza with a French bread crust that's aimed straight at kids who eat GFCF. The pizza substitutes "soy cheesy" for mozzarella cheese. Ian's GFCF Pizza was a finalist in the 2012 About.com Gluten-Free Readers' Choice Awards Best Gluten-Free Frozen Pizza category.
Each 8-ounce package of Ian's pizza includes two slices. Ian's tests its products to contain fewer than 20ppm of gluten.
6. GFCF Frozen Pizza Crusts
If you want to make your own GFCF pizza using a pre-made crust, several of these will suit your diet. Udi's Gluten-Free Foods, Gillian's Foods, Glutino and Kinnikinnick all make gluten-free casein-free frozen pizza crusts. Some contain eggs and soy, though, so choose carefully if you're avoiding those ingredients as well.
You can top these GFCF pizzas with rice- or soy-based "cheese" from the supermarket just make sure the faux cheese product doesn't contain casein, because some do.
