First of all, Against The Grain Gourmet is a company that makes gluten-free products—gluten-free food items that are top-notch. Ok. Now, the current item we're talking about in this post is their pepperoni pizza. It's the uncured pepperoni pizza, the gluten-free frozen pepperoni pizza. And let me tell you, we can't stop eating this pizza. We don't know what it is, but there's something so natural, so tasty, so delicious, and so clean about this frozen pizza that even without reading all the details about the company, you can taste it in the flavor.

Sure, we looked at the back of the box before buying it to check the ingredients and felt comfortable with our purchase. But once we tasted the pizza, we had to go back to the website and dig deeper to understand what sets this company apart. There is such a difference in the flavor and freshness of this pizza. From the first bite, you can tell there's something special. Whether it's the freshness of the cheese or the pepperoni, this pizza stands out as a favorite—a top recommendation that we want to share with you today.

Now, let's talk about cost. This pizza comes in at about $14—let's round it up to $15, depending on where you buy it. For some, that may seem steep and discouraging. But if you're eating gluten-free, you already know it's expensive. It's not very cost-efficient, but that's just the struggle of eating gluten-free. Despite the higher price point, this pizza is a fantastic choice for anyone with gluten intolerance. If you're looking for a good frozen pizza to pop in the oven for a quick and easy meal, this is the one.

We appreciate that Against The Grain Gourmet tackles common issues in gluten-free products. Their pizza is not only gluten-free but also soy-free, nut-free, and gum-free. This is fascinating because most gluten-free baked goods use gums like guar gum or xanthan gum as thickeners or binding agents. Against The Grain Gourmet uses natural methods, avoiding chemicals that could pose health risks. We're so grateful to have discovered their frozen pizzas because sometimes you just need a quick meal without compromising on quality. With this pizza, you can pop it in the oven and have a delicious meal ready in no time.

As for varieties, Against The Grain Gourmet offers three other types of pizza: the three cheese pizza, the Margherita pizza, and the nut-free pesto pizza. They make the nut-free pesto pizza possible by using sunflower seeds instead of nuts in their pesto. All these varieties are crafted on a cheese-baked crust, which adds to their deliciousness. The crust of their pizza incorporates cheese, including cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, made from pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, and enzymes. They avoid any coagulating agents, keeping their products clean and natural.


Against The Grain Pizza


Against The Grain Gourmet is known for more than just pizzas. They also make bread and bagels. We're eager to try more of their products because we need more brands that care about what they make when it comes to gluten-free food. Most people don't realize how much fillers and chemicals are used to mimic wheat-based products. But Against The Grain Gourmet takes the time to consider their consumers, ensuring their products are clean and healthy.

Based on our experience with this pizza, we can tell you it tastes very cheesy and delicious. It has a soft, chewy crust that's enjoyable, and when baked at higher temperatures, the crust gets a little crunchy, which is a nice touch. The richness and quality are evident in every bite. Honestly, when you're eating this pizza, you wouldn't even know it's gluten-free. That's one of the key things we observed—it tastes like regular pizza.

When you think of pizza, you might think of New York style. Honestly, this can compete. We're not joking—this can compete. Our taste testers agree. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and that's because Against The Grain Gourmet isn't trying to recreate traditional pizza with binding agents or chemicals. They use natural ingredients like tapioca starch, water, eggs, olive oil, cheese, and milk to make their pizza. This approach results in a pizza that tastes like regular pizza without any artificial additives.

So, is it worth the price? We say yes. From the Brimley Test Kitchen, we can tell you that Against The Grain Gourmet frozen pizza is worth every bite and every dollar. The richness and quality are evident, and you won't deal with any stomach issues or allergic reactions afterward. The clean ingredients mean you don't have to worry about what you're putting in your body. Against The Grain Gourmet is a down-to-earth company based in Vermont that knows and cares about what the consumer wants—healthy gluten-free food.
