I dined this past Saturday at 3 Palms Pizzeria in Hudson, at First & Main.  I had their gluten free pizza and it was incredible.  While it is not a dedicated kitchen nor do they have a specific gluten free menu, they do make their own crust in house. There was a $3 upcharge for the GF crust. Obviously a concern given that there are other flours, but I spoke with the manager who said that all pans were separate and they take precaution.  I was fine and didn’t get sick at all.  It was by far the best crust I have ever eaten out.  They also have gluten free desserts in the case, and my mother in law had purchased a decadent chocolate cake for my birthday from there over the summer.  

Oct 2018, Mariann:

Lunch at the new 3 Palms was really good.  Invited to dine with a friend there and not knowing anything about the restaurant I had no expectations.

The salad I chose was the Chopped Italian – if I recall – there are two g-f salad options and this looked inviting.  It was really quite incredible and the small was perfect for a starter.  My dining companion and I shared the beans and greens dish was also super tasty and g-f.  I chose a pizza mostly so I could test it out and bring the rest home for a later meal.  I don’t recall the name of the pizza I chose ( and I’m not seeing it on the webpage list ) but suffice it to say, it was loaded with prosciutto, it was quite good.

When exiting the restaurant I noted that the bakery case had quite a selection of g-f items.  I was disappointed to see the g-f items in the case with the traditional baked goods.  That’s pretty much a no-no in my book but this is not a dedicated kitchen establishment so the risk of dining here or consuming anything is assumed by the guest at every level.

GF Pizza Menu.

Gluten free pizza returns to CPK.  You may remember their 2011 GF pizza that wasn’t gluten free. This new version has a GIG certification.

“These gluten-free pizzas are prepared using the strict procedures approved by The Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), using a certified gluten-free crust and other ingredients verified by our suppliers as gluten-free. Please inform a manager of any allergies or special dietary needs (e.g. gluten intolerance) before ordering.”

“Any of our pizzas may be made on a gluten-free crust for an additional $2.00, but due to our current kitchen space, only the pizzas listed above can be prepared using GIG’s certified procedures. Please note that normal kitchen operations involve shared cooking and preparation areas and guests should consider individual dietary needs when ordering.”

The listed pizzas are The Original BBQ Chicken, Pepperoni, Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage, or Margherita.

So, how is the pizza?  I recently tried the BBQ Chicken and was disappointed.  The crust was very thin with a rubbery texture, only crisp on the crust edge.  The toppings had nicely cooked but flavorless chicken with an overpoweringly sweet BBQ sauce.

I won’t hurry back to California Pizza Kitchen.  But, it is nice to know that safe GF food is available while traveling, as CPK has more than 250 locations in more than 30 states and 11 countries.

From Colleen:

Yours Truly Chagrin Falls now has gluten free bread!

Diane adds:

I have not been to the Yours Truly Chagrin Falls location. I have recently eaten at the Mayfield Village and Shaker Square restaurants. I was not offered GF bread either place and they do not have a GF menu. The Mayfield Village personnel seemed more familiar with GF, and I had to spend quite a bit of time explaining cross contamination to the manager at Shaker Square. I usual order grilled chicken and a salad or an omelet. If you go, please discuss your GF options with your server and management.

Gay shares:

We ate at Deagan’s Kitchen in Lakewood last night. They have a regular menu on which they hi- lighted GF items in green. The ones I chose turned out to be quite bland – a crab and avocado salad plus a vegetarian curry. Their fried items are done in a shared fryer so definitely not an option for celiacs. It was busy and had a huge, younger adult bar crowd. I might return if in the area but would not make it a destination restaurant as it is just too bland for me. However, I do appreciate that the owners have identified potentially GF options and the waitress recognized the difference between folks who must follow GF dining versus those who just choose it for whatever reason. This is a good choice for younger adults with celiac who want a sports bar type atmosphere to hang out with friends.
