gluten-free pizza

So far, I’ve been to Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint twice since I started working off North Druid Hills. Both times I ordered gluten-free pizza, which was absolutely delicious. As far as my tastebuds can tell, Maddio’s uses potato flour, and maybe a little rice flour thrown in for good measure.

For the past two years, James and I have been making what we call paleo pizza. But that name doesn’t exactly fit since we use cheese. Normally, we top the crust with marinara, cheese and pepperoni. But Maddio’s numerous topping choices inspired me to change up our normal gluten-free pizza recipe to something a little less predictable.
