Review: Against The Grain Pesto Pizza

I'll admit it. I used to be a pizza snob. BFS (Before Gluten Sensitivity). The crust was supposed to be crisp on the bottom and airy and chewy and just salty enough and... You get the idea. And that is one of the things I grieved most when I learned I had to give up gluten. There was the chain restaurant with the crust that tasted like wet saltines. And the frozen pizza that had crust like dense cornbread...

And then I met Against the Grain Nut-Free Pesto Pizza.

The crust is NOTHING like what I wanted to eat again. But I like it. Instead of finding something just like I remembered, I found something that tastes good, is firm enough to hold a piece in hand, and survives as leftover in the fridge.  And there is no red sauce, which is good for those who avoid tomatoes. The price is a little steep ($10-13 for a frozen pizza), but I'll spend that gladly when I know I can count on it to be very good.

They have other options, including a no-topping crust - which is quite good, too. But I don't love the red sauce on the Three-Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza.

Thanks, Against the Grain!
