Yea Yea, I know that is not really a pizza. But if you are allergic to gluten, believe me this isn't that far off from the real thing.
So last week I was at Whole Foods looking for my trusted Amy's Cheese Less Pizza but it was nowhere to be found. The only no-cheese "pizza" available was the Whole Foods' Brand. The 365 Everyday Value Gluten-Free Pizza.
Since I had gone to Whole Foods for a pizza and darn it I was going to get one. So I tried my luck with this. I was surprised, it was really good! Unlike Amy's pizza which I make it in the microwave / saucepan, this pizza is recommended to be made in an oven. Now I am not much of an oven guy but I gave it a shot and must say it turned out pretty good.
Made with a rice crust with generous topping of roasted veggies, it
tastes like ... well, bread with veggie toppings :) I mean that is what it is but it tastes good so who cares! The size of the pizza is pretty small, especially for four bucks! I won't recommend it as a meal but its perfect for an evening snack.
Official Name: Roasted Vegetable Pizza
Price: $3.99
Where I bought it from? Whole Foods
Product Site: N/A (I couldn't find a direct to this product)
Twist Time
I have a couple of tips. For the lazy people out there (that's me on most weekends), try it a generous layer of with smoked paprika hummus or with spicy red pepper hummus. Adding either of these types of hummus as a topping will provide the necessary kick to it.
For folks who are looking for a slightly better taste, try it with a topping of freshly chopped cilantro with fresh cucumber (peeled) and dash of black pepper. Add a layer of guacamole (or hummus) before
adding the above mentioned ingredients. It turns out to be a pretty satisfying snack.
P.S. 365 Everyday value is a Whole Foods owned brand and is similar
"in-spirit" to other store brands but the difference is the quality. I
believe it's quality is far superior to that of other store brands.
