They make their own dough so it's not the frozen, pre-made crusts most restaurants serve.
I have never been so impressed by any gluten free product, EVER!
The first thing that amazed me was the price. For a large, cheese gluten free pizza, it was $13.99. That's $3 more than the "regular" large cheese pizza. Not to bad by gluten free standards! For a large pizza with pepperoni on half, an order of cheesy garlic breadsticks with (homemade) marinara sauce, and a large antipasto salad, my total was about $30.
The second thing that impressed me was the packaging of the food. The pizza and breadsticks were in regular pizza boxes with a large GF written on the top and they were taped shut (see picture below). This shows me how serious they are about avoiding cross contamination.
The third was the look and smell of the food. I was dying on the 35 minute drive home to reach in and just try a bite, it smelled SO good! When I finally got home and opened the box, I was so excited to see it looked like real pizza and the breadsticks looked great too!
Lastly, and most importantly, the taste and texture. Texture is a big deal with gluten free foods since many have a gritty texture that takes away from the whole experience. I tried the breadsticks first and they were excellent. Not too heavy, not too greasy, just the right amount of cheese and spices on top, and best of all, the texture was just like "regular" breadsticks. The pizza was a little too thin for how I like it, but the taste and the texture were wonderful! I've tried dozens of GF pizzas that were frozen, refrigerated crusts, shelved crusts, make your own dough, and from various restaurants and this is, without a doubt, the best GF pizza I have ever had.
I would give Engine No 6 Pizza Company's GF pizza and breadsticks 5 stars and I will happily be making the long drive for it many more times!
