Thanks to Glutafin’s delicious, crispy gluten free pizza bases, you can still enjoy this family favourite, even when you’re following a strict gluten free diet. 

And if they’re not available on prescription in your area, you can join the fun by making your own gluten free pizza bases using our Select Multipurpose White Mix.

Here are ten of the best toppings for gluten free pizza bases, from the classics to the decidedly different, from kid friendly funny face pizzas to grown-up gourmet recipes.

Top Ten Gluten Free Pizza Recipes

1. Classic Margherita – the simplest of all pizzas that everyone will enjoy, with tomato and mozzarella, finished with a few leaves of fresh basil.
2. Funny Face Pizzas – get creative with the kids by turning their favourite toppings into funny faces. Ideal for fussy eaters and kids who love to craft and create.
3. Pepperoni – the ultimate, and some would say only, pizza topping. Pepperoni is naturally gluten free, but check the label for additives or cross-contamination risks.
4. Meat Feast – like pepperoni, most cooked meats are naturally gluten free. Be careful with processed meats, like spicy sausage, as these can contain wheat-based additives.
5. Ham and Pineapple Hawaiian – guaranteed to start a heated debate, pineapple is the Marmite of pizza toppings, but the kids will love the sweet taste.
6. Halloumi, Grilled Veg and Pesto – salty and satisfying, check out this special recipe in our pizza and pasta section.
7. Roasted Vegetable – gluten free and packed with goodness, roasted vegetable pizza is a great way to get them to eat their greens.
8. Goat’s Cheese and Caramelised Onion – the distinctive creamy flavour of goat’s cheese melts perfectly with the sweetness of caramelised onions for a flavour sensation
9. Mushroom and Truffle – lift your mushroom pizza to a whole new level with a drizzle of truffle oil over the top. The better the mushrooms, the finer the flavour, so buy the best you can.
10. Pear and Blue Cheese – delightfully different and surprisingly tasty, small slices of this sophisticated gourmet pizza make an intriguing hors d’oeuvre. Add crushed walnuts for an extra crunch.

Where can I get gluten free pizza bases?

If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can order Glutafin gluten free pizza bases from your pharmacy as part of your prescription. Unfortunately, they are not available on prescription in England.

If you can’t get them on prescription, or you need more than your prescription allows, you can always try making them yourself. This is great fun to try with the kids, and everyone can make their own personal pizza. Check out our recipe for making gluten free pizza bases using our Select Multipurpose White Mix.

You can also buy tasty gluten free pizza bases from our sister company, Schar. You’ll find them in the free-from aisle of the supermarket.

Top tips for cooking gluten free pizzas

To get the best from your gluten free pizza bases and enjoy a crispy, crunchy pizza, follow these few simple rules:

1. Don’t rush the pre-heating – even if you’re starving, always take the time to get the oven nice and hot before you put the pizza in.
2. Don’t overload your pizza – too much on top makes for a soggy pizza, so less is always more for sauce, toppings and cheese.
3. Oil your pizza – a little olive oil brushed around the edges will ensure a golden crust and avoid burning.
4. Pre-bake your base – if you’ve made your own pizza base, give it a few minutes to cook before you add the toppings
5. There’s more than mozzarella – vary your cheese to discover different flavours, including goat’s cheese, parmesan, blue cheese, cheddar, feta and more.
