Yes, I said “Gluten-free Pita Bread”. I did not stutter. I about fell out of my chair when I heard there was such a product on the market. I knew that I had to get my hands on some ASAP! I emailed Rami at GFL Foods, Inc and they happily shipped me out a package of gluten-free pitas to review (the pitas were sent to me at no charge; I am not being paid to write this review). You can purchase the pitas at www.glutenfreepitas.com , which is very easy to remember.
Jon was thrilled the day these showed up on our doorstep. We have now plowed through our package & I am here to report the many different ways we used the pitas. We have filled them with BBQ pulled pork, taco meat, lunch meat & cheese and used them as pizza crusts! Here is a couple photos of the pitas filled with taco meat.
These gluten-free pitas are so easy to prepare. Once they arrived, the instructions said to place them in the freezer. To prepare, simply place in the microwave for 30 seconds & fill with the filling of your choice. For the most part these pitas held up very well to the different fillings that we used. They did crumble a little when used as a pizza crust, but that could be due to the additional heating to melt the cheese on the “pizzas”. The taste was great & complimented all of the different foods well. I would highly recommend these pitas. The only con I could really find was the price. The cost is $9/bag of pitas + shipping. I realize that gluten-free foods cost more to make, as the ingredients cost more. To my knowledge, I don’t think there is another gluten-free pita on the market, so if you want one, this is the place to get them!
Thanks to Rami & GFL Foods, Inc for giving me the opportunity to sample & review these awesome pita breads.

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
Great to know. Thanks, Kim.
There is no way to justify $9.00 a bag unless each bag is filled with 60 pita’s. Why is only gluten free food marked up at such an insane premium? Can you imagine if milk substitutes were $8.00 a gallon? There would be riots in the streets!
Milk substitutes are 8.00 a gallon.
A half gallon of quality almond, rice, soy milk will run you between 3 to 5 dollars… Unless you don’t care about additives and chemicals…but regular milk doesn’t have it, so why should milk alternatives?
And since gluten-free flours take more care to harvest and process (you need special combines to harvest and special plants/machines dedicated to it), it’s fair that quality gluten-free foods cost more.
Rose’s Bakery in Evanston Il. has the most amazing gluten free pita I have tried to date. They are a flat bread, not a pocket, but I think that makes them more versatile. I think the website is Rosesbakery.com. Rose’s is a completely gluten free facility and everything I have ordered from them has been great… Check it out!
uhh chris i thought, oh that sounds great until i went and dropped a bag of 6 pitas into my cart for 9.50 plus 8.99 shipping. and i’m only in st. louis. i’ll pass. doesnt anywhere sell gluten free pitas? they tout eating all this vegan/indian food , then i can’t find gluten free pitas to eat it with!
