Allergy-friendly Pizza Joints

It's the weekend and your friends or family are craving nothing but pizza. You know you could stay at home and savor the delicious cheese-less pizza by Amy's I wrote about in an earlier post, but they're dying to get out of the house.

Have no fear - I have been hearing about a few pizza joints around the Twin Cities that are very flexible when it comes to making their pizzas. Here are a few places you can suggest that will offer things on the menu that your stomach may be able to tolerate:

1. Pizza Luce
Pizza Luce not only offers cheese-less pizzas, but they also have 2 kinds of soy cheese they keep on hand that melts to the consistency we all love. They also offer several vegan hoagie options, salads, desserts and even brunch items. Pizza Luce has locations in Downtown Minneapolis, Uptown Minneapolis, Seward/University, St. Paul and Duluth. They also deliver until 3 a.m.

2. Galactic Pizza
This place offers a vegan and vegetarian option for at least half of the specialty pizzas on their menu. What makes this place even MORE cool is that they deliver in 100% electric cars!

3. Punch Pizza
You order this pizza almost the same way you order a sub sandwich at Subway...tell them which fixings you want on top, including whether or not you want any fresh mozzarella and then they throw it in the wood-burning oven. I have emailed the business to ask if there is any dairy in the dough and they wrote back, confirming that without cheese, the pizzas are dairy-free. Punch Pizza has 6 locations around the twin cities area.

4. Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza
On this menu, you will find "Tomato & Oregano [without cheese]" as one of their signature pizzas. They also have a variety of salads and appetizers you could fork into as well. They are located in the warehouse district in Downtown Minneapolis.

Have you been to other pizza places where they were flexible with your dietary needs? If so, let me know!
