It is such a treat when restaurants can easily accommodate gluten-free eaters, especially with more than one token item. It is so nice to walk into a restaurant and not have the anxiety and stress about having to explain what gluten is and how we cannot eat it, and how it must not touch our food, or be hiding in sneaky ingredients. Ranalli’s of Andersonville has gone above and beyond to serve their gluten-free customers well.

Ranalli’s has always had great pizza and pasta and now they have introduced gluten-free pizza, pasta, lasagna and baked goods for dessert. The baked goods are provided by one of my favorite bakeries of all time, Rose’s Bakery in Evanston, which is a 100% gluten-free facility. The pizza, pasta and lasagna are cooked onsite in cookware designated for gluten-free items.

I was treated with a pizza, by friends, from there the other night. The pizza crusts are brought in from an outside vendor and available in 12″ thin crust. They come served on an aluminum pie pan so that you can be sure you have the correct pizza and it never touched the oven rack when baking. All toppings available for the regular pizza are available on the gluten-free pizza, of course be sure to confirm they are gluten-free as well. I enjoyed a pizza with green olives and artichokes and was amazingly surprised with the tasty, crunchy crust. The crust tastes like a regular thin crust pizza, I had to check twice to be sure I was eating the right one. I let my gluten-able friends have a piece and they all agreed it was pretty comparable. One of my friends even preferred mine! What I didn’t finish for dinner, I enjoyed the next morning for breakfast.

Currently, Ranalli’s is running a special of $9.99 for a 12″ gluten-free pizza with one topping.
