Review: Rustic Crust Gluten Free Napoli Herb

Such a disappointment!

The Web site promised "Pine no more" for those days of pizza - and I am still pining.

Most of what was available at the store had already cracked into several pieces. I picked a package where both crusts were still whole and treated it gingerly. I was  excited to try itright away and made the 1st pizza, according to directions, as soon as I got home. The crust held up to the sauce and cheese while cooking, which is good, but when it comes to eating a slice - it falls apart  when you lift it. And the taste is nothing like the gluten-full dough I pined for.

Ok. I readjusted expectations and ate as if this were a completely different (not pizza) meal. And still, I was disappointed. The crust was that crumbly/mushy/dense texture that we get so often in GF rice-flour breads. It was not very tasty - even with the "Napoli Herb" addition - and the tapioca flour is not enough to save the texture. The taste was not enough to recommend it, neither was the texture. Both fell flat.

I won't be buying this again.

I am not even tempted.
