Alright! Let’s make some homemade gluten free pizza. You don’t need to be a pro, it’s super easy, and it’s going to taste amazing. 

Step 1: First thing’s first—preheat your oven to 375°F and position the oven rack in the middle of the oven. This will make sure the oven’s nice and hot when we’re ready to pop that pizza in.

So for the crust, I’m using a frozen Against the Grain’s gluten-free pizza shell today. It’s seriously the best gluten-free option I’ve found, but you can use whatever you prefer.

Just make sure it’s one that you love, because the crust really makes or breaks the pizza, right?

Step 2: While your oven is warming up, grab your pizza crust and brush the top with some extra-virgin olive oil. This is going to give it a little golden crispiness when it bakes. Plus, it adds a touch of flavor that’s just perfect. Don’t be shy with the oil, but you don’t need to drown it either—just a nice even coat.

If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you could even try a pesto base or Alfredo sauce, but classic tomato is always a win.

Just spread it all over the sauce, covering every inch. We’re going for that gooey, melty goodness.

Fresh ingredients make a huge difference! Don’t forget to add a little extra cheese on top if you’re feeling indulgent.

And if you really want that super crispy crust, I recommend baking the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a pizza stone if you have one. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

Pizza is all about versatility, so don’t be afraid to get creative with your pairings! For a classic like this Pepperoni pizza, try serving it with a crisp Caesar salad or a refreshing Caprese salad: the classic Italian appetizer.

And for the finishing touch, sip on a rich Espresso Brewed in a Moka pot, paired with some Gluten Free Italian zeppole crispy, golden fried dough —it’s the ultimate Italian-inspired combo!

Pro Tips And Recipe Notes

  • As you can see, I love the taste of this pizza shell. If you can’t find it in the frozen aisle of your grocery store, you might like Udi’s crispy thin crust which I also reviewed here: Udi’s Gluten Free Frozen Pizza Or if you have another favorite pie shell, go with it. I’d love to know which ones you like. I always appreciate your suggestions.
  • Today, I topped my cheese pizza with pepperoni.  Sometimes I like to top mine with saucy meat, sausage, caramelized onions, or mushrooms. What are your favorite toppings? Make it your own.
  • For a crispy crust, bake directly on rack or on pizza stone.
  • To store leftover pizza, let it cool, then place it in an airtight container. For the best reheating, use an oven or skillet to crisp the crust, or microwave with a cup of water to keep it from drying out.

Also, I want to note that I did not receive any compensation from Against The Grain for writing this review. These opinions are completely my own — I just had to share this wonderful product with you.

    This was an interesting post as my daughter has wheat allergies.
    I don’t think the pizza base is available in the UK but I’ll look for an alternative next time I go shopping 🙂
