Ah, pizza. It's so delicious. At the beginning of our journey, our friend, DR, sent us to Pier 49 Pizza, located downtown on Main Street, right next to a Trax stop. We had it last summer, and it was the first time the boy had had any pizza since his diagnosis. He was delighted.
Well, DR and the boy wanted to go to the most recent summer concert at the Gallivan Center to see Bon Iver. We also had another friend in town, and all of us, spur of the moment (as expected), converged on Pier 49, so the boys could get pizza and head to the concert. It does take 25-30 minutes for them to prepare a pizza on a gluten free crust, but they have also improved the crust since our last visit. I heard murmurs, between bites, of how good the crust was.
It does cost an additional $3.00 for a gluten free crust, but the toppings are added carefully, and the pizza is covered during cooking. Both the boy and DR are very sensitive, and they managed to survive a pizza place without being contaminated.
Pier 49 has gotten some great recognition for their move to offer gluten free crust. KSL 5 did a story on Pier 49 in April 2008, and even awarded a free pizza to all the teachers in the valley. Even the blog, Gluten Free in Utah, discussed the tasty gluten free crust. Gluten Free in Utah also pointed out that all of the Utah locations now offer the gluten free crust. Yippee for pizza.

We have a Z pizza here (well, not HERE, but on our way home from work 40 miles away) that has gluten-free crust. I've only tried it once, but it is so good! :)
