Gluten Free Pizza and Pasta in New York City
OMG! We are sooooo glad to be living in this decade where more and more gluten free options are becoming available. Just this weekend, we were visiting Eataly in New York City – a gourmet foodie destination to sample authentic Italian foods at their many eateries, plus buy imported Italian ingredients to take home. It was sooooo crowded in there, plus overpriced, so we left in a hurry without even sampling the salami or freshly made mozzarella. This left us needing a back up plan for lunch.
Walking along the south side of Madison Square Park on 23rd St, we spied a sign saying “Gluten Free Pizza”. It was for Mozzarelli’s. Not only did this place have 4 types of gluten free pizzas to choose from, they were already made and ready to go! Plus, they also have gluten free baked ziti and penne on weekdays, and decadent desserts like tiramisu. It was definitely a case of serendipity: a fortunate accidental find, one which we will definitely be coming back to!
(By the way, the pizza crust was quite good, not thin like gluten free crust usually is, but really soft and doughy like pizza crust should be).
