Pizza Redux

So, if you don't have a pile of sausage around to make a pizza crust, what's the alternative? I've already mentioned that Amy's has a fine rice crust pizza, but if you're looking to start from scratch, I suggest the pizza crust by Kinnikinnick Foods. Aurelio's Pizza uses the crust to make their gluten-free pizza and, I have to say, it's pretty damn good.

I will caution Chicagoans that the Aurelio's in Chicago suffers from a dearth of... competence. We want to love it. I hear the Suburban locations are fine, but we invariably end up waiting until the Bean has melted down and is no longer hungry before the food comes. The pizza is good (I think it's the sauce that makes it) and the gluten-free crust is good. It's a little thick, but it's airy and meshes well with the other ingredients. It's just that the wait staff is so bad at getting the food to your table that they may as well be bringing a slab of shoe leather for all the interest our daughter shows in it by the time it shows up.

We've actually gone and bought a stack of Kinninnick crusts and will try making the pizza at home. We got them from the Gluten-Free Store in Westchester, IL. We'll let you know how they turn out.
