Gluten-Free Challenge: Boston Pizza vs Me-n-Ed’s Pizza Parlor
I'm on a mission to find a restaurant that makes a satisfying gluten-free pizza. I recently tried Boston Pizza's gluten-free pizza and was left hungry.
A local chain called Me-n-Ed's Pizza now offers gluten-free pizza as well. They say that a large part of a meal is devoured by the eyes, so visual impact of what's on your plate is important. I was pleased opening the Me-n-Ed's box and seeing this:
A round and normal-looking pizza with some substance to it! It looked good..... it also tasted good. Note that it's the flatbread-type of crust though, so granted Boston Pizza's gluten-free crust offers a thicker and softer bite. Judging by looks alone though, one establishment definitely gets my thumbs-up over the other (side-by-side comparison below). About $3 more for Me-n-Ed's definitely was worth it and felt good in my full stomach.

Me thinks you’re going to hear from Boston Pizza again. What’s on that other pizza? Mushrooms…spinach…and ??? Looks really yummy in spite of the crust. Gosh, I might have to go out for GF pizza soon.

They’re artichoke hearts! My first instinct isn’t to put them on a pizza, but I saw them in the list of topping options and had to give it a go. Highly recommended idea if you like them. They were tasty.

might i suggest you try the thin crust one with bbq sauce, chicken, bacon and cheddar? throw on some pinapple if you’re into that. i think you’ll find it rather awesome. Unless you’re also a veggie, in which case….yeah, i dunno what to tell you.

Super combo idea!
Veggie only?? No way! “If God didn’t want us to eat animals, then why’d he make them out of meat?”

I found it online, it’s called Ed’s Gluten Free Specialty! It says they have gluten-free perogies and ravioli??!! I’m adding it to the to-do list for next time I’m going in to the city. Thanks so much for the tip!

May I recommend the perch for gluten free pizza as well? They do some amazing specialty pizzas. I guarantee your socks’ll be blown off. :3

I’ve heard about that place. Good to hear a good recommendation on it for gluten-free pizza
Do you know if they make their own gf crust in-house?
