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

Do I Need a Pizza Stone?
I recommend using a pizza stone, 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.
