I invited my meat, dairy and wheat-eating hubby Rich to sample Garlic Jim's gluten-free pizza. You can hear our verdict by going to the bottom of this post!
Garlic Jim's is a national pizza chain, and their new gluten-free variety has become quite popular. In Los Angeles, you can buy it at their locations in Burbank, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Simi Valley and Redondo Beach.
But be prepared to spend some cash: a medium-sized pizza for two costs almost $21. Since pizza-making might be a daunting and time-consuming task for many gluten-free eaters, I decided to feature this review anyway.
Here are the ingredients that they use for the crust: rice flour, tapioca flour, water, potato starch, potato flakes, olive oil, sugar, yeast, salt, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
You can order their pizza with any kind of toppings (including meat.) You have to let them know if you want them to skip the cheese. The veggie pizza includes green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, black olives and red onions on top of a classic, tomato-based pizza sauce.

Hi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to let you know some additional info about pricing. We add a $3.00 surcharge to a GF pizza because of the extra costs associated with making GF, such as training, additional equipment and the cost of the crusts which is much higher than our normal crusts. However, we honor all our coupons
for GF purchases with a $3.00 add-on, so you can get great pizza at a discount.
Also, our very best specials are online, so if you order online you can get the specials with a $3.00 surcharge.
I've also done some price comparison and I believe that our GF pizza is less expensive than other chains that are selling GF pizza in LA AND we have specials and coupons! If
you're aware of other pizza restaurants offering GF, I'd love to know as I'll be doing some price and taste comparisons soon.
Kind regards,
