Only a few blocks North on Chandler street is a fascinating Asian Fusion restaurant named Nancy Chang's. They have been offering GF food on their menu for years, and the wait staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free diet issues, and they even bring GF soy sauce, the wonderful San-J product, to your table. You can check out their website too.

People in Worcester who are on a gluten free diet are lucky to have these two fabulous eateries.

Once I was diagnosed with celiac disease pizza seemed to be almost completely off the menu. Once in a while one of us might feel adventurous and try making a pizza crust using whatever GF flours we had on hand, but the results were often very disappointing and occasionally the crusts were so hard it brought up images of broken teeth and dental surgery. Considering the time and effort required and the often poor results I had not had a GF pizza in years.

On a recent trip to a local health fraud store we found Ener-G brand pizza shells that were 10 inch diameter and 2 to a box. We decided to give those a try.

With my husband's delicious onion and garlic rich home made pizza sauce, olives, artichokes, mushrooms and some melted soy-based imitation cheese-like substitute food product we had a pair of truly delicious gluten free, vegan pizzas.

The Ener-G crust is very much like a typical thin crust pizza. It did not get particularly soggy, it maintained a good crunch that was typical of an ordinary pizza, and it was just like eating the long ago pizza of my youth.

I was so pleased with the results that I have ordered a pack of 5 cartons of 2 shells each from Amazon. With free shipping you could round off the cost of these shells to about $5.60 per 10" pizza shell, and since Ener-G gluten free food products have a typical shelf life of nearly 5,000 years (slight exaggeration) I'm not worried they will spoil before they are used. If you have celiac teenagers in your house they obviously will be used

Pizza is back on the menu at our house. I suggest you consider giving these a try. I give them 4.5 stars.
