The Recipes

R eputations can be hard to shake. And lets be honest: Gluten-free pizza has a bad reputation. Yes, if you know where to look, you can snag some genuinely good gluten-free pizza. But thats the exception rather than the norm. The unfortunate reality is that theres a lot of mediocre gluten-free pizza out there. Theres also some truly terrible gluten-free pizza.

Kelli and I are on a mission to change this reputation and the reality behind it. Whether you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, a wheat allergy, or another reason for joining the gluten-free communityor you know someone whos part of ityou deserve truly great gluten-free pizza.

Lets launch a gluten-free pizza revolution, right in your very own kitchen.

If youve had gluten-free pizza before, this tragedy is probably already familiar to you. It doesnt matter if you bought a premade crust from the frozen foods section of your supermarket or a pie from a pizzeria that outsources their gluten-free crusts from a third party, or if youve tried to make pizza at home with recipes that promise miracles. Times are slowly changing, but even in 2019, the vast majority of gluten-free pizza on the market just isnt up to snuff.

Whats the problem? Quite a bit, actually. For starters, almost all gluten-free pizza crusts fall into a single style: ultrathin. These superthin crusts become hard like a cracker once baked, and their flavor is often bland and overly starchy. Theyre also tinyten inches (twenty-five centimeters) is a common diameter. And theyre expensive, often commanding a hefty gluten-free surcharge at many pizzerias and a price premium at the supermarket.

Sampling the gluten-free pies at Kest in New York City

Listen, were not here to pick a fight with bad gluten-free pizza (though it sorta has it comin). And were not here to point fingers at specific companies, especially those well-intentioned companies that are bringing safe gluten-free foods to market for the celiac and broader gluten-free community.

Were here to provide a solution to a long-standing problem. Because for us, pizza is a passion.

Were both from New York, where the thread of pizza pride runs strong. My maternal grandfathers family emigrated from Sicily in the early twentieth century. From the tenements in lower Manhattan, they migrated east to Brooklyn and Queens, and eventually to Long Island, where I was born and raised. With this family heritage and regional upbringing, our love of pizza is genetically ingrained.

After Kelli and I got married in 2003, we adopted her family tradition and made it our own: weekly pizzas every Sunday night. Wed roll up our sleeves and make a floury mess in the kitchen together as a couple before sitting down to enjoy a freshly baked homemade pizza.

In the years since, as our three children have come into the family picture, the tradition has continued, evolving and growing along with our family. Now, there are more floury hands in the kitchen. Weve added a soundtrack to the evening, heavily populated with Italian American and Italian crooners like Lou Monte, Connie Francis, Jerry Vale, and others, whose music reminds me of visiting my grandparents in my childhood. Theres also Italian red wine, usually Valpolicella or nebbiolo, for Kelli and me and nonalcoholic almond or cherry Italian sodas for the kids. Of course, the center of the tradition is the pizza itself.
