Punch Pizza is trying

They got back to me quickly and a few weeks later, made this annoucement:


We have received many requests over the years for a gluten free pizza.

We have been experimenting with gluten free dough and have yet to come up with one that tastes good. We also have tried gluten free dough from other pizza restaurants and have not found any good examples.

So we went back to the drawing board and looked for ways to enable our gluten free customers to fully appreciate our ingredients and our wood fired flavors. We came up with a traditional Neapolitan recipe that we call the Pizzaiolo. Using roasted eggplant and fior di latte mozzarella as the “crust” you then add your favorite pizza ingredients on top. The ramekin is then roasted in our wood fired oven for a delicious alternative to our pizza.

Since we are unsure of the demand for it, we will initially offer it each Thursday night for dinner at our Highland Park Pizzeria for the next month. If it becomes popular, we will expand into the other stores and add additional times. The Pizzaiolo will be the same price as the equivalent pizza on our menu and we will be happy to recommend our favorite combinations.

Please come by starting this Thursday, May 5th to Highland Park to taste our gluten free “pizza”! If you plan to come, please comment on the Wall so we can prepare for demand. Feedback on the Pizzaiolo will also be appreciated.

**Please Note: Since we have flour in the air in our kitchens, the Pizzaiolo is not safe for those with severe flour allergies.



So tonight, it's Pizzaiolo night!
