If you live in an area that has an UNO Chicago Grill, you’ll be happy to learn that the popular restaurant chain is set to officially to debut a gluten free pizza! Unfortunately I live in Iowa and am not aware of any within the state.
It looks like this gluten free pizza is currently only available in their restaurants found in the Northeastern Region of the United States, but if things go well, they will be expanding to their other restaurant chains.
Gatto explained that it took over a year of research and development to find just the right recipe for a brand that is known for its iconic pizza. “While we want to meet the needs of guests with allergies, we never forget that we are about great taste and choice, and that means developing new dishes that are healthful without sacrificing great flavor.”
The company that was the first to develop deep-dish pizza in 1943 is still full of innovation. Uno Chicago Grill works closely with its Nutrition Advisory Board, which meets quarterly to discuss trends and solutions to improve the quality and nutritional value of its menu. The board includes world-class physicians with expertise in coronary disease, weight management, and other food/health related issues. Uno CEO Frank Guidara oversees the Advisory Board and brings his expertise as a member of the Harvard School of Public Health Nutrition Roundtable.
The new gluten-free pizza is being tested at Uno Chicago Grill locations in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts (excluding Worcester, Springfield/Holyoke, and Dedham).
If you read the article, you’ll notice they mention November as Celiac Awareness month, which is incorrect. It seems we can’t decide between October or May for Celiac Awareness month, but I know for sure that it isn’t in November! :)
All the rest of the information looks accurate.

Great information
Uno Chicago Grill GF pizza was a big flop when we tried it. Kids hardly could take the second bite. This makes frozen (cheap) supermarket pizza seem gourmet by comparison! Really, huge let down. Still riding pizza is a much better crust for their liking and they deliver to us in one day. We have to find a place that uses it. Too bad, we had our hopes up of having a viable alternative to five guys and carrabas.
No affiliations here, just a disappointed customer.
