Why You'll Love Us

"Pizza is firmly entrenched in comfort food territory, but for those
with gluten-free diets, it is a forbidden treat. My mother suffers
from a severe gluten allergy and would often lament the lack of a good
option for gluten free pizza. She would wax poetic about her college
days, of eating cold pizza the morning after a big night, or of
cramming for finals and taking breaks to eat a hot slice of pepperoni.
It made me sad to not be able to take her out for her favorite meal. I
don't have the same allergy, and had been enjoying the great pizza at
The OPC with friends since 2001, so imagine my elation when I realized
that The Original Pizza Cookery has come to the rescue with a
delicious gluten free crust, made with the utmost care and concern
against cross contamination! The crust is toothsome and not at all
cardboard-y, and when paired with a robust tomato sauce and your
choice of toppings it becomes almost indistinguishable from a
traditional pizza! They also offer gluten free pasta, and bread
sticks, as well as a few sweet treats! Gone are the days of pining
away for a good slice, The OPC has you covered!

With Love, and Pizza, anything is possible!"

". . .I thought the crust, paired with our excellent choice of toppings and Daiya cheese, was a great example of a delicious gluten free crust. . . . .now I know that there is a great gluten free option."

"Sawdust-covered floors and an exposed kitchen so you can watch
the cooks throw the dough in the air while you're waiting. The Pizzas
lovely - thin, crisp crust, herb-y tomato sauce with just the right amount
of seasonings - and it's very very cheesy. We liked it with fresh mushrooms,
pepperoni and sausage - all delicious and liberally supplied."
