This week I am hosting the weekly gluten-free menu swap and I chose gluten-free pizza as the theme of the week. I love pizza and love trying new combinations & crusts, so I hope to see some great ideas this week. Over the past year I have tried some new crusts. I have a new favorite, Bob’s Red Mill pizza crust mix. I also use Pamela’s Bread mix for pizza crust or Carol Fenster’s recipe. As far as toppings go, Jon prefers the traditional marinara sauce, mozzarella & pepperoni, occasionally. I like to mix things up. I like Buffalo Chicken pizza, veggie style pizza and my newest favorite is a pizza that I top with Trader Joe’s Tomato Chutney, smashed chickpeas, feta or goat cheese & spinach. It is so good. What are your favorite crusts & toppings?

Manda from Asparagus Thin is making pizzas from around the world this week. I am especially interested in the deep dish polenta pizza..YUM! I also love the song she posted at the top of her post – it will be in my head all day now. 🙂
In my Box is making a series of one-pot meals this week. Again, polenta has caught my eye! A mention of a Mexican pizza made on Udi’s crust also caught my eye – I love to sing the praises of Udi’s!
Heather from Celiac Family has a great menu planned! She goes through her favorite pizzas (frozen, crusts & restaurant). I hope she can find a ZPizza soon, they are one of the best restaurant gluten-free pizzas around!
Cheryl from Gluten-free Goodness is making Coconut Curried Lentils and I just might have to invite myself over for dinner! YUM!! She also tried out a yeast & grain free pizza a while back that looks really good. I just may give that a try in the near future.
Esther from Lilac Kitchen is talking about making a pizza with a sweet apple base. That sounds awesome to me, so I do hope she shares if she does!
For more great menu ideas, please visit Orgjunkie.

Yum, your pizzas look so great! I don’t have any pizza on my menu plan this week (I hate to be out of step with the theme!) but last week I made Mexican pizzas on some great pizza crusts from Udi’s, a new GF, dairy-free company that has recently started stocking in my area. The crusts are more like flatbreads (I miss chewy crust!) but they were super delish.
Thanks for hosting this week!

Here’s my menu for the week. Yum! Haven’t had pizza in a good while or okonomiyaki for that matter.
The chickpea, feta and spinach pizza sounds fabulous I may need to try that I have tins of chickpeas that need eating too!
I had planned to make a batch of pizza bases this week for keeping in the freezer so your pick is very timely.
My menu is here
