This Sunday Brunch rocks!  Not only is there a DJ playing from vinyl, rocking two turntables so that there is a nary a pause from the tunes but the menu just rolls from one Gluten-free delight to the next!  By the time I made the decision which of the wonders I was going to choose from I had changed my mind 6 times.  First there was the Basic Breakfast or the Latkes and Apple Sauce or Eggs Beachland (including biscuits) or Buckwheat Pancakes or Deep South Biscuits and Gravy or seriously there is Chicken and Waffles:)  and while I was hyperventilating over all of these I turned the menu over only to see the clincher – Scrapple and Eggs!!    As a former resident of Philadelphia and passionate about Scrapple, I was In Love!!  I know you will be too!  But there is still more on the menu for your eyes and your belly to delight with!  Good luck deciding.  Better yet make it a date to go back over and over!!    Beachland is not a fussy place – it is basic and unpretentious – some might say it is a bit rough around the edges.  But the food is divine and if you are not a Sunday morning diner they do dinners and lunches plus you could catch a show too!  My fellow diners included a Vegan, Vegetarian and Traditional Omnivore – we all raved about our options!

Back in 2014 we had correspondence from Dewey’s Pizza about their testing out a gluten-free crust (see below).  The response has been positive and they are currently offering their pizza in a gluten-free option. Also on their menu are great salads.  Many of the salads are g-f and others can be modified to accommodate the diet.

Also, last month when I dined at Dewey’s they were offering Bard’s G-F beer based on recommendations from NEOCN!  We asked.  They listened. Voila!

Please keep in mind that Dewey’s is a shared kitchen.  Their staff has been very knowledgeable and helpful in the past so ask for what you need or what you are uncertain about.  You won’t be disappointed – their pizza is great!

Here’s a response from the GM of Dewey’s in NEO from our recent inquiry.

Greetings!
Thanks for getting back to me. Listed below is our allergy protocol. In short, we do our absolute best to ensure we serve the safest product. However, the one thing we can never completely eliminate is trace amounts of flour in the air as well as our ovens. So although our Gluten-Free pizza is safe for an overwhelming majority of those afflicted with celiac’s, for those that are HIGHLY sensitive, we cannot guarantee ZERO exposure.

However, this is what we do for guests who indicate to our serving staff that they have a gluten allergy:

We top the pizzas with gloves, using only fresh product from below our line that has not yet been at risk for cross-contamination. The pizza itself cooks in an aluminum tin so the pizza doesn’t make direct contact with our oven stones. When the pizza comes out, we use a clean cutter fresh from our dish machine that has not come in contact with any other pizzas yet.
 
So once again, not 100% full proof given that we have an open air kitchen and hand-toss our normal product. However, our process is about as good as it gets for a pizza place.
 
Next time you’re in at our Lee Road location, as to speak with a manager. They would be happy to demonstrate our protocol in-person. The GM there is named Anthony Ramos.
 
Thanks,

 

2/2015,     Thanks for sharing Norma, I will be in the area tomorrow and give this a try. Am looking forward to samples!

Until the end of November, Dewey’s Pizza at both the Lakewood and Cedar Lee locations will be offering a GF pizza.
If there is enough interest it will be put on their menu.
The GF pizza is 12″ and is the price of the regular 11″ pizza plus $3.
My daughter and I found the thin crust very good!
I have celiac disease and she has gluten sensitivity.
