Gluten-Free Pizza Now at The Dons’
Posted by Waleed | Filed under News, Pizzas
The Dons’ Wood-Fired Pizza is now working with Still Riding Pizza to offer a brick oven gluten-free pizza. Here is the official information from Still Riding Pizza.
You are on a gluten or wheat free diet and you feel great, but let’s be honest, how much do you miss being able to eat real pizza from a pizza parlor?
Maybe it’s the fun and convenience you miss. Maybe you’ve felt left out at birthday parties, sleepovers and movie nights too.
Maybe you are tired of having to convince yourself that the gluten free pizza that is out there “really isn’t so bad.”
Well, your pizza problems are over. We have developed a delicious, authentic, New York style, par-baked crust that is entirely gluten free. When we partner with your local restaurant or pizzeria, the result is a delicious and safe solution for Celiacs and others who avoid wheat and gluten, but still want to eat real pizza.
Because we are Gluten Free ourselves, we know that selling a gluten-free pizza crust to restaurants is a larger task than just being a supplier:
We educate the restaurant how to do this safely and successfully. We have a proven method and set-up and can train anyone who is willing.
Our product is made in a 100% Gluten Free facility built by us and used only for this purpose. This takes the risk of preparation out of the hands of the restaurant.
Much of the marketing of this product is done in non-traditional channels, and we have a proven program that works. We are part of the gluten-free community, and know who they are and what they want.
The Dons’ Featured in Loudoun Independent’s Dinner & A Show

Walking into Don’s is a bit like walking into a New York pizzeria—and not just because of the huge cityscape poster directly above you. Sneaking in to grab a couple pizza pies on a Sunday afternoon, I was welcomed by a casual atmosphere and a friendly staff. And there’s always a bonus for any establishment with their own Italian market, including Italian coffee, pasta, sauces and sodas.
To start off, let me recommend a slightly different appetizer, the oven roasted olives—four varieties, cured and served with breadsticks. Even if you don’t eat them, the smell alone is worth it.
It’s sometimes difficult to gauge pizza (a pie is a pie some will say), but I jumped in with both feet, ordering two intriguing pizzas from the menu, although there is a certainly a “make it your way” option. The Sicilian Hit was a hit with me—sausage, pepperoni, think slices of meatballs, ham, four kinds of cheeses, basil and oregano. To contrast, I also ordered The Lucky Luciano—with roasted chicken, mushrooms, red peppers. Both were a dream. If there’s a criticism, sometimes, the toppings were so thick that it was too heavy for the slice. It’s a good problem to have.
For those non-pizza lovers (who’ve followed a friend into the store), Don’s also offers salads, calzones, stromboli and hoagies. True to the pizza parlor tradition, there’s also a dessert display with a wide variety of cakes and cannoli. Don’t tell the Italian Anti-Defamation League, but The Don may have a pizza you can’t refuse.
