Hi!
My name is Miki and I own "Slice, the perfect food" (www.sliceperfect.com) and we JUST launched our new amazing gluten-free pizza crust after four hard months of testing and re-testing and adding a few key ingredients (like potato flour)! Our gf customers are so excited because they think it tastes like real pizza crust!

Please visit our newest location in the West Village!

Slice West Village. 535 Hudson Street btwn Perry and Charles

We also launched a few new gluten-free and vegan dessert items!
We also have Daiya vegan cheese which is dairy-free, casein-free and soy free and it actually melts!
The pizza tastes SO good!
Come and check it out when you get a chance!
xo

The 99 Restaurant chain now has a GF menu now, with decent options, and if you want something on the main menu, they can check on the ingredients list and tell you if there is gluten in it.

You have to check out The Fireplace in Brookline. They carry GF products, including delicious rolls, from Glutimus Minimus (Belmont, MA). The food is delicious and they are super allergy-friendly. The owner, Jim, is great and goes out of his way to get the best tasting GF treats.

We had spent a whole weekend in town looking for GF products. We tried Flour and Myers & Change, both were listed as Allergy Friendly on different sites, but The Fireplace was definitely the best stop we made.
