Lunchtime

Lunchtime at Iliano's in Meriden CT, where I can get a gluten free pizza, just before the rush.

  1. I'm glad you have a place to eat pizza. I don't know what I would do without pizza in my life.

  2. Iliano's seems to be an important part of your life in some ways, which I find envious. Just when we think we have found our home away from home it closes, so we are always looking.

  4. looks like a nice place for lunch and great that they serve gluten free pizzas. We have some places serving those to but not to many and it's quite hard for a pizzaplace to keep those glutenfree as the flour is everywhere

  5. I think my wife would love this place, too, because of the glutenfree pizza ... do they the baking of the pizza together with the others or in an absolutely separate way?

  6. Hi Bobbie,
    Looks like a great place to relax and enjoy your pizza. I love those arch windows. Have a great day!

  7. Great capture of your favorite place...I love the arches and how they show through to the kitchen...I love that you included the pizza man in your picture

  8. This proves breakfast is not the most important meal. Celiac is a challenge for eating out, glad you found a place for pizza.

  9. Is the dough made of cauliflower? I don't have to adhere to a gluten-free diet but fewer grain carbs wouldn't hurt. I've heard of the cauliflower solution but haven't tried it. Just so it has sausage, mushrooms, and lots of cheese!

  10. I do have celiac disease--nearly died of it eleven years ago. I was down to 90 pounds at 5'8". I *never* cheat and I'm really, really careful about cross contamination. This place uses crusts they buy from a dedicated GF facility. They prepare them in a separate area in the back of the kitchen away from everything else. They're baked in the main ovens, but on parchment paper, so there's really minimal risk. I make a great GF pizza--but the first time I ate there, a little over a year ago, I did shed tears--just to be able to eat pizza with friends at a regular pizzeria! One never realizes how much ordinary things matter until one can't do them any more.
