Jeff Dunnigan, manager of culinary research & development, created the recipe for the new gluten-free pizza at Mazzio’s.
Mazzio’s Italian Eatery announces the addition of a gluten-free pizza to its menu at select locations. Guests can create their own 10-inch or specialty gluten-free pizza. The new pizza is available for dine-in and carryout at specific locations.
According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), approximately three million people have Celiac disease, and 10 million Americans have some form of intolerance or sensitivity to gluten. “Adding a gluten-free pizza is a must to better serve all of our customers, including those with gluten allergies,” said Greg Lippert, president and CEO of Mazzio’s. “We realized the need for a gluten-free option and have strived to make it as close to the Mazzio’s traditional pizza recipe as possible.”
Alicia Wilbins of Owasso has Celiac disease and is thrilled about the gluten-free addition to the Mazzio’s menu. “It’s refreshing to go to a restaurant and find pizza that is delicious but a great gluten-free option,” she says. “I have always enjoyed the great salad bar at Mazzio’s but this allows me to actually go out for pizza with friends and family.”
Many people without gluten allergies thrive on a gluten-free diet as well. According to the NFCA, this diet is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing nutritional movements in America, gaining popularity for its health and therapeutic benefits. Eating a gluten-free diet may improve one’s health by alleviating symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and joint and muscle pain, among others.
With 163 locations in nine states, Tulsa-based Mazzio’s Italian Eatery, established in 1961, offers customers fast service, convenience, value and quality. Its extensive menu features a wide variety of pizza, pasta, salad and sandwiches. Open daily for lunch and dinner, Mazzio’s is perfect for dine-in, carryout, delivery or catering.
