Nature's Hilights Brown Rice Pizza Crust

[Trueveggie14]

Big Disappointment.

Okay I like the doughy soft pizza crust you get with flour. I don't have an gluten, wheat or any other dietary issues... other than it has to be vegan.
That being said if you are allergic to flour or gluten or something.... they're not nasty.

It's just not what I expected. It was very thin and hard. It reminds me of something you would eat Turkish, Lebanese, Afghani, foods upon. It just didn't do it for me PIZZA wise.

I have used it for pizza several times and liked it. It certainly isn't the best, but I didn't have a problem eating it like a pizza.

Since then, I have found brown rice tortillas by Food For Life. I use them for pizzas sometimes. There is also a company that I mail order from because they make excellent gluten-free vegan pizza crusts, buns, bread, etc.

I like to use the Deland Bakery Flatbreads for gluten free pizza.

I tried an awful brown rice pizza crust once too, but I can't remember the name of it. I have been craving pizza for months, but I haven't wanted to brave another gluten free pizza crust.

ETA: I just looked up the Food for Life tortillas and I would love to have them for lunches. Are they soft like wheat flour tortillas?

OK, it's not like the pizza crusts that I've known and loved for years, but since I have to stay away from wheat, soy, and most other reasonable solutions, I've had to look elsewhere. My wife found this crust at Whole Foods (who now seem to have just stopped carrying it), several months ago, and we've been making pizzas once or twice a week with them. If you use a little olive oil on the top when you put them in the oven at 500 degrees for 4-5 minutes to thaw and crisp them, and then take them out and top them, and put them back in directly on the rack, they come out nicely.

We've both made some really delicious pizzas. The crust is very sweet. It holds up well with sauce, and the entire prep time, including getting the ingredients for the toppings ready and topping the pizzas and cooking them is about 20 minutes. I love them, and now have to find another source as I don't want to go without pizzas and have finally found a thin-crust pizza crust that I like that fits my diet.
