Never miss pizza night again with the best gluten-free pizza recipe. This simple, delicious, homemade gluten-free pizza is perfect for a family pizza night.

Homemade gluten-free pizza, featured image

When I first started a gluten-free diet I thought "No more pizza for me." Since pizza is my favorite, I was devastated. I felt very left out. I finally found a gluten-free pizza crust mix that is simple and delicious. Now, my family makes homemade gluten-free pizza all of the time. It's our favorite pizza, and it's so much cheaper than ordering out. Keep reading to find out more.

INGREDIENTS

For the Crust

Prepare your crust according to the package directions. I use Chebe Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Mix (paid Amazon link).

For this crust mix you will need:

  • 1 box crust mix
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • Dairy-Free milk, or milk of your choice
  • Olive Oil

Pizza Toppings

  • Gluten-free pizza sauce
  • Dairy-free cheese, or cheese of your choice
  • Your favorite toppings (optional)

How to Make Homemade Gluten-Free Pizza

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Mix up your crust.
  3. Press crust onto a pizza stone.
  4. Poke holes in the crust lightly with a fork.
  5. Pre-bake crust 8-10 minutes.
  6. Remove crust from the oven.
  7. Using the back of a large spoon, add the gluten-free sauce to the crust, covering the entire pie.
  8. Generously sprinkle the cheese over the sauce.
  9. Sprinkle your favorite toppings over the cheese.
  10. Place pizza in the oven and continue baking for another 8-10 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the crust is crispy.
  11. Remove the pizza from the oven. Cool for 1-2 minutes.
  12. Slice and serve immediately.
  13. Serve with a small side salad if desired.

Gluten-Free Pizza Sauce

There are many pizza sauces available, but not all are gluten-free. Check all labels carefully. Many sauces often contain gluten ingredients such as food starches, emulsifiers, or malt flavorings. See my post, Allergy-Free Shopping for more information on reading food labels for allergens.

Here is a list of some popular gluten-free brands.

  • Amy's Kitchen
  • Contadina
  • Dei Frattelli
  • Eden Foods
  • Francesco Rinaldi
  • Organico Bello
  • Organicville

Best Store-Bought Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

Whether you make your homemade gluten-free pizza using a mix or a premade crust, here are some of the best brands out there.

Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Mixes

  • Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Pizza Crust (paid Amazon link)
  • Chebe Pizza Crust Mix, Gluten and Grain-Free (paid Amazon link)

Pre-Made Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

  • Cappello's - made with almond flour
  • Udi's Gluten-Free Crust - made with brown rice flour. Is also dairy, nut, and soy-free
  • Caulipower Pizza Crust - made with cauliflower
  • Cali'flour Cauliflower Pizza Crust - non-dairy, plant-based, and vegan
  • Banza Plain Crust Pizza - made with chickpeas

Gluten-Free Pizza Toppings

Here are some of the best toppings for your homemade gluten-free pizza. Just choose your favorites. The possibilities are endless.

Vegetables and Fruits

  • Spinach
  • Peppers
  • Onions
  • Black Olives
  • Artichokes
  • Tomatoes
  • Pineapple

Cheeses

Dairy-free cheese - Daiya and Follow Your Heart brands are great options.

If you don't need dairy-free cheese then consider the following cheeses.

  • Mozzerella
  • Gorgonzola
  • Cheddar
  • Feta
  • Provelone

Meats

Check all labels carefully. Many processed meats contain gluten ingredients such as food starches, emulsifiers, natural flavorings, or malt flavorings.

  • Bacon - try my gluten-free Oven-Cooked Bacon Recipe
  • Grilled Chicken
  • Italian Sausage
  • Salami
  • Ham and Prosciutto

Do I Need a Pizza Stone?

I recommend using a pizza stone (paid Amazon link), but it's not necessary. If you don't have a pizza stone simply use a heavy baking sheet, or a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent the crust from sticking.

Can You Freeze Gluten-Free Pizza?

Yes. Freeze any leftover gluten-free pizza in an airtight container for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator then heat it in the oven or gently in the microwave.

One of the biggest motivators for my recipes is my family. I am big on sharing family meals and dinners. I mean it seriously just warms my heart when we all come together and share a meal. 
That feeling of connection through food is so universal. When I was first diagnosed with food allergies it felt like I lost that connection. 
Another HUGE motivator for me is YOU! Yes, that's right YOU! I want you and your family to feel that connection through sharing meals together despite food allergies.
