Gluten Free News, Restaurants, and Shopping in Tucson
I finally made it to Picazzo’s on Friday night with the Southern Arizona Celiac Support group. We were all in GF Heaven. Instead of repeating myself, here’s the link to the blog I wrote reviewing our dinner there. http://tucsonnightout.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/picazzos/
If you haven’t been, you have to go.

I was totally surprised when I asked Bryan, the owner of Papagayo if he had a Gluten Free menu or served GF items. He brought the menu over and showed me that their entire menu is Gluten Free except for one dinner. Just remember to ask for the corn tortillas instead of wheat.
Check them out for lunch as well. They have a 555 deal: 5 items, 5 dollars, 5 minutes. http://www.tucsonnightout.com/events/29864/555-lunch-special
And always remind your server that you are ordering a Gluten Free dinner so they can take extra precautions.
We recently received a message from John regarding the gluten free treats available at Keva Juice. Here is what John wrote:
I would like to let you know that Keva Juice provides a variety of options in gluten free treats. All of our smoothies, with the exception of the Chocolate Malt and the Oreo Speedwagon, are gluten free. We offer over 30 different gluten free fruit smoothies. We also have gluten free gelato at our Sunrise and Swan location and gluten free, non-fat frozen yogurt at our Oro Valley location. The frozen yogurt is probiotic (with live and active cultures) and has a variety of health benefits in addition to being gluten free. Keva Juice is open until 9pm, seven days a week and opens at 7am weekdays, 8am on weekends (except the Sunrise Dr. store which opens at 9am on weekends.

I stopped by to visit with Marcy at The Loop on Friday and she showed me their new Gluten Free Menu. Plenty of choices, but not pizza, not yet. They are shopping for a good GF crust, but haven’t found one yet.
We’ll let you know when that happens. In the mean time enjoy a great GF Dinner at the Loop.
Always remember to tell your server you need your meal prepared Gluten Free even when you are ordering off the GF menu.
