Pizza!

Pizza!, who doesn't like pizza? If you're like me, especially a college student, pizza is a food staple. Pizza is nutritious and cheap! But if you are on a gluten free diet, pizza is a treat. In my quest to find good gluten free pizza, I have tried many horrible tasting pizza. Basically cardboard with cheese and sauce on it, YUCK!! Back home in Northern New Jersey my mom found two restaurants that serve excellent pizza. She likes pizza more than I do! Mangia Tratorria in Glen Rock, New Jersey specializes in brick oven pizza. The gluten free crust is pre-made by Still Riding, a round disc of refridgerated pizza dough. I get the brick oven pizza with pepperoni and sausage. The crust is sweet and crispy.  Gooey mozzarella cheese is deliciously melted over a perfect salt to sugar red sauce. When I first tasted it, I thought I died and went to heaven. Price, a little steep at $16, but you get 6 slices so you can take some home for reheating. I would definitely recommend Mangia Tratorria, I give it 8 out of 10.

Pizza Fusion is just up the road from Mangia Tratorria in Ridgewood, New Jersey. The pizza at Pizza Fusion is artisan pizza and I feel the dough tastes the most like regular pizza dough.  Pizza Fusion uses organic ingredients and eco friendly pizza boxes, napkins and cutlery. Their motto is "Saving The Earth, One Pizza At  A Time." They roll the dough out into a square like oval, slather with red sauce and sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese. DEVINE!! The crust is crispy perfection. Gluten free pizzas comes in personal size for $9 (4 slices) and a large for $18 (8 slices). If you like reheated pizza, I 'd purchase the large rather than the personal. In addition to their gluten free pizza, Pizza Fusion offers gluten free brownies, a nice finish to a great pizza. I highly recomment Pizza Fusion if you like artisan pizza, I give it a 9 out of 10. Please continue to follow my gluten free path.
