Hey everyone!
I am 20 yrs old and was diagnosed with celiac disease last year. I am new to this site and it seems very confusing but i finally found out how to post and would like to share my experience with a gluten free pizzaria i went to yesterday!
The resturant is called majora trattoria in glen rock, NJ
The pizza was good. It was thin crust and and they have prettymuch any topping you want! I think many celiacs would agree that getting gluten free pizza at a resturant is amazing and an exciting experience! I also had the raviolis (shared with my mother and sister) and they were absolutly amazing! Tasted completley normal. I wouls definitely recommend this resturant and please let me know if anyone knows of more pizzarias that offer gluten-free pizza in or around the surrounding area!

Hi there!
My daughter, who is 11 years old and was diagnosed with celiac when she was seven years old.
First, I wanted to ask you if you know what they do about separating the pizza from the non-gluten pizza. Do they have a separate oven?
We had a bad experience with cross contamination at an Italian restaurant in Tarrytown advertising gluten free pasta. They had the gluten free pasta, but cooked it in the regular pasta water and she had a major reaction.
Next, we do know of two places that make gluten free pizza in the area. One is in NYC on Bleeker Street called Risottoria. We have eaten there many times and it is great. Fabulous pizza (thin crust, just like in Italy) and risotto with no reactions. They even have breadsticks, gluten free beer, chocolate chip cookies, Fudgies (their own invention of choco chip cookies wi. fudge filling) that are all gluten free.)
They also have regular pizza.
The second place is one we haven't tried yet and were just told about. It is in Livingston, NJ. Calabria Pizzeria & Restaurant at 588 South Livingston Avenue between Northfield & Hobart Gap Rd. Phone 9973) 992-8496. They say they also serve Pasta. It's on the way to the Short Hills Mall!
Please let me know if you have further info regarding Majora Trattoria's pizza. When I googled them there were some comments saying what a small brick oven they had and how busy they are. It just made me a little nervous about how careful they are about the CC.

hi!
What they do to separate the pizza from the oven is place it on a "pedastal"
type device sao it does not come in contact with the oven itself. However, as i am sure you know, there is always a risk of cross contamination when eating out but i believe this particular resturant partnered up with the Celiac Disease Awareness group which ensures there is no cross contamination if they can help it. The ravioli is outstanding! I have actually heard of the one in NYC and have not been there yet but i never knew about the one in livingston! My sister works in that town actually and i am so excited to try more!
At Majora Trattoria i know they serve other pasta such as rotini and linguini when we went on sunday. The crust of the pizza is actually not made there, it comes out of a package from a company. I forget the company but that might also help your daughter considering there is no spreading out of the dough or anything such as that.
Thank you so much for the information! I don't know if you also know of a place called Janice A. Bistro in HoHoKus off of Rt. 17 but they serve gluten free pasta as well and bread before the meal. Also there is a small chain called Maggianos (there is one on rt. 4 near/in the riverside square mall) which is very delicious and extremely accomodating! I hope this all helps!

I can't seem to find any info on Majora Trattoria. Do you have an address or phone number for this restaurant?

yes i do...their website if http://www.mangiatrattoriaonline.com/index1.htm and their address is 918 prospect street in glen rock nj, 07452 and their phone number is 201-445-6264...hope this helps!

Thank you so much!!

no problem! let me know if u go and how u like it!

i went to mangia trattoria for the first time tonight and it was AWESOME! first off it was so cool to just go into a local place (my mom lives less than 20 mins away) and grab some pizza. it came in real pizza boxes which was fun, i felt normal! the best part about the pizza is that isn't super small. it's not quite normal size but it's one of the largest sized gluten-free pizza's i've had. they were super nice and i got one pizza with pepperoni and the other veggies. very excellent! they also do pasta dishes (but i just got pizza).

that is great to hear! The pizza is good but half the fun of going is just getting something you cannot normally get when eating out...I am glad you enjoyed it! It is nice to have something around the north nj area, as there are not tons off option but definitely enough to keep me satisfied

There crusts are from a company called stillridingpizza.com. Check there website. They supply special equipment and instructions regarding CC. But ultimately, it's up to the restaurant to follow the instructions. I went to a pizzeria in Manhasset on Saturday that uses these crusts. It was pretty good and the leftovers reheated well in the toaste oven in my office. Call the restaurant to assure yourself that they follow the instructions.

Hi,

I just read about a place called Pizza Fusion that will be opening in Ridgewood, NJ. They have a website you can check out.

If your looking for a grear place in north jersey that has a fantastic gluten free menu, try Mamas restaurant Cafe Baci, in Hackettstown N J. They have a fantastic selection of pizza and pasta and desserts. We loved it.. give them a try and let me know.

Just went to Joe's Pizza in Summit, NJ and had pizza. It was very good.

Little expensive at $19 for what I would call a medium pizza. It was not an individual but also not as large as a regular pizza. It was 6 slices which I could have eaten all in one sitting. I didn't - save some for dinner.

I was a little leary as I didn't know if they had great CC defenses but I didn't feel any issues after eating it.
