While transitioning my nut-free son to a dairy free lifestyle (later we found out he was allergic to wheat, hence my gluten free substitution notes), I had to find a way to help him love pizza. This turned out to be such a hit that my gluten-free protester child loved it! Looking for a fun and healthy way to rock your family pizza nights or personal pizza cravings, this may be the answer to that knock on your pizza door. Yep, comparing this to traditional pepperoni and cheese, it may be a door you won’t want to answer every craving, but start small and I'm sure you’ll find yourself falling in love.
