Disclaimer:
We received a gluten-free pizza to taste before writing this review. However, all opinions are my own.
M's gluten-intolerance is not the equivalent to someone with Celiac disease.
Always do your own research when it comes to your health.
On our quest to find gluten free options for M, our family has reached out to our favorite restaurants. This week, we were invited to try a gluten free pizza at Johnny's Pizza in Kennesaw. Since M was at school, Peanut and I packed the camera and headed over to Johnny's New York Style Pizza in Kennesaw.
Johnny's 10'' gluten-free crust with our favorite toppings!
After a 5 minute photo shoot with the pizza, I convinced Peanut to stop "driving" and participate in our taste test. There will be no pictures of me stuffing my face with pizza- but I can guarantee that I ate more than my fair share.
The Johnny's gluten-free crust is a thin crust. It reminded me a lot of a flatbread. We enjoyed our mushroom, tomato and spinach pizza thoroughly. The manager and I agreed that GF crust does best with less toppings. Next time we go to Johnny's, we plan on trying a classic pepperoni.
Peanut was so excited to be the taste tester!
He was too busy eating to give me the "gluten-free thumbs up"...
I will take that as a positive review.

Once we pushed ourselves past the point of full, Peanut went back to his driving game and I spent some quality time reading over Johnny's menu. During my GF menu scavenger hunt, I came up with other gluten free options other than their GF pizza. All of their salads are gluten-free with the exception of the croutons on the caesar salad. *Be sure to check the ingredients in the salad dressings! They have another gluten-free dish called the Manhattan Garden that looks scrumptous!
The manager at our neighborhood Johnny's wanted to offer our readers an EXCLUSIVE COUPON! This is the first coupon they have offered on the gluten-free crust. Please pack up the family and head over to the Cherokee Street location-tell them that The Puzzled Palate sent you!
What are your family's favorite pizza toppings?
Are you a deep dish, hand-tossed, thin or stuffed crust family?
We don't have a Johnny's Pizza here in MA, but it makes me a little sad that we don't because the pizza looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteMy son likes sausage, my oldest daughter likes pepperoni, my husband likes all meat, I like spinach, and my baby likes whatever we pull off the pizza to give to her. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe're a mixed crust pizza. I like hand tossed, little man likes thin, and hubby likes deep dish. My older three kiddos like any and all of 'em. :)
ReplyDeleteI love pizza! I don't think we have a Johnny's Pizza here in my area but I will keep an eye out. This looks like a very comfy place to take the family.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have one close but it looks AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteHubs wants! It's hard to find good pizza in the South. Looks like you found some.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this place from some of my mom fb friends.. We don't have one local but the picture of the restaurant smells like fresh pizza! Oh it looks good, esp that one w the tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely delicious - We don't have a Johnnys Pizza near us, but we will be traveling that way in just a month so I will keep an eye out! I love trying new restaurants, especially if they have PIZZA!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place! That pizza looks delicious. Now I'm craving pizza!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Johnny's Pizza, but this place looks fantastic! I love hand-tossed crust and I'm a simple pepperoni girl. My husband tends to be a bit more exotic in his pizza toppings.
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks delish. So yum!!!
ReplyDeleteGosh it has been years since I've been in Kennesaw! Now I have a reason to go. That pizza looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteTHat pizza looks beautiful! I'm so hungry. Is it dinner yet?

I love pizza. Pretty much any pizza would be good for me.
ReplyDeleteThe gluten-free options are getting better and better as you just showed. Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any places around here to get GF pizza, so I wish we had a Johnnys! That looks delish.

ReplyDeleteI am not very familiar with gluten-free options and tastes, but this pizza looks yummy! My favorite is pizza with pineapple!
ReplyDeleteI love Johnny's! I'm so glad they offer a gluten-free option!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Johnny's Pizza anywhere around, but boy I wish we did! That looks like a FUN place and yummy pizza!
ReplyDeleteYum! That pizza looks scrumptious. I don't have a gluten allergy, but I do enjoy gluten-free food for some reason. I don't think we have one of these restaurants near us, but I'll be on the lookout for one as we travel.
ReplyDeletewe love meat on our pizza. i try to encourage some veggies though
ReplyDeleteI wish we had a John's here in NY, we LOVE pizza in our house. It looks delicious and love all the options they offer.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Johnny's offered gluten-free options! My husband and I lived across the street from a Johnny's Pizza in Inman Park a few years back. It was decorated a lot different, offered adult trivia nights and fab drink specials, and definitely catered to the in-town crowd, but we LOVED it. I will definitely be on the lookout for another location closer to home!
ReplyDeleteWe like Johnny's. I didn't know that they were offering a gluten free option. It looks good!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that pizza looks so good. I wish we had one here.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was delicious fun! Thank you for the coupon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your little guy loved it! What a great coupon too, thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh the pizza looks yummy! And a coupon too- love coupons! Wish we had one of those here!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love flatbread styled pizza. Guess it makes for easier eating.
