This in from the Salt Lake Tribune; one of the more elusive finds for a celiac, a pizza joint offering wheat free crust. As a celiac myself, pizza has been one of the more difficult items to give up when I’m out with friends - not to mention the beer that compliments it. From this excerpt, it’s obvious I’m not alone.
“On several different occasions people have started crying,” said Herrera, who decided to offer the wheat-free crust nine months ago after a family member was diagnosed with celiac disease, the most severe form of intolerance.
“One woman gave me a big hug and said, ‘I haven’t had pizza for 20 years,’ ” said Herrera. “She was thrilled to be able to enjoy pizza again.”
Herrera’s gluten-free offering is part of a growing dining trend, both in Utah and nationwide.
