Pizza is delicious at Willow Street Pizza-Los Gatos!

July 5, 2009

We went to dinner at the Los Gatos location of Willow Street Pizza (they also

have restaurants at near Westgate and in Willow Glen). I ordered the g-f

pepperoni pizza and it was absolutely delicious! Crispy crust, very good. What

a difference from the first pizza I ordered at their Willow Glen location (the

pizza crust there was uncooked. Since their g-f pizza was so new, they were

still figuring out the correct baking times when I ordered my g-f pizza.

I wanted to pass along a few things I learned. While dining, I talked with

Reineking, who is the restaurant's Director of Operations. Their g-f menu

is only about 2 weeks old, and they are very eager to please us. They also take

cross contact very seriously - you even have to cut your own pizza at the table

because they do not want to take a chance on using the same pizza cutter that

was used on a gluten pizza. They know to use clean water for our g-f pasta.

They have a rotisserie chicken that could be g-f, but are not sure of the

ingredients in their garlic powder and do not have to take a chance at this

point to say it is g-f. I believe they are doing everything they can to

accommodate our diet.

I also brought along a piece of my toasted bread and enjoyed pouring oil and

vinegar into a little dish to dip my bread into while waiting for my pizza. As

a side note, my husband ordered their small gluten pepperoni pizza and said it

was very good. The price of eating there with two pizzas and two sodas was very

reasonable - $40 (with tax and tip, plus I brought home ½ my pizza because I

could not eat it all!). I can't wait to go back and try their g-f pastas and

salads!

I might suggest going to their Los Gatos location Willow Street Pizza for your

first time. It was very comforting to have knowledgeable people around to guide

me through the g-f menu, and it is a little bigger restaurant than Willow Glen.

Be sure to ask for their g-f menu and feel free to ask for if you have any

questions. Their g-f menu is right on their website to click on.
