Gluten free pizza in Portland?

October 4, 2009 8:47 PM

Can you recommend a pizza place in Portland, Oregon, that has gluten-free options?

I am just visiting Portland, so I don't know many places to eat. My son cannot eat gluten, but I'm craving pizza. Are there any pizza joints in town that offer gluten-free dough? Thanks!

While I don't personally know of one, I am sure it exists. If you don't find an answer here, post your question to the Portland community on citi-data.com. They have a very active and helpful community of people that will weigh in on any question imaginable.

A search on yelp brings up a few possibilities -- without reading through the comments too carefully (so double check me, probably I would call them and ask), it looks like you have at least the following options:

Mississippi Pizza Pub - 3552 N Mississippi Ave - [phone] - www.mississippipizza.com
Picazzo's Gourmet Pizza and Salads - 8000 SE 13th Ave - [phone] - http://www.picazzos.com
Bellagios Pizza - 9055 SW Barbur Blvd - [phone] - www.bellagiospizza.com
Oasis Cafe - 3701 SE Hawthorne Boulevard - [phone] - www.oasispizza.com
Flying Pie Pizzeria - 7804 SE Stark St - [phone] - www.flying-pie.com

Disclaimer: I like gluten and it likes me.

There are a number of pizza places identified as being gluten-free friendly here. Will you be in the city itself? I've eaten at Pacazzo's a few times, and it was good.

I've not eaten at Garlic Jim's, but they make a big deal of their gluten-freeness. If you'll be out in the suburbs, that may be a better bet.

of those, i'd have to say mississippi has the tastiest regular pizza…i just live a couple blocks aaway from oasis and it's always pretty popular, i just don't like the sauce they use.

Oh, and I can recommend the Mississippi Pizza Pub from brainmouse's list, too. From reading that link, you may not be able to get it by the slice, though.

Oasis does not offer gluten-free by the slice either...from what I understand, it's a bit pricier than the normal dough, so they can't afford to make a whole gluten free pizza ahead of time and risk the slices not getting purchased. But you can totally get a whole pizza. I had an Oasis pizza tonight!

+1 for Mississippi Pizza Pub, their gluten-free vegan pizza tastes better than most regular pizzas I've had in my life.

Pisces & Virgo on NW 21st advertises gluten-free pizza.
