The Lowdown:

The past several years have seen an impressive rise in culinary options for those who are intolerant or sensitive to gluten, and Eat Local Pizza is making an impressive showing in that regard. Featuring crusts from A Gluten Free Harvest here in Thunder Bay, most of Eat Local’s pizzas can be ordered gluten free. One of the most popular choices is their chicken pesto, and it’s easy to see why. A wonderfully balanced sauce mixing pesto and marinara sets the base for the rest of the toppings, with the plentiful grilled chicken and artichoke hearts taking centre stage. The crust itself is thin and crispy without being dry—a perfect foundation for the enticing flavours on top. Sweet and tangy in just the right way, Eat Local’s gluten-free chicken pesto will surely— and deservedly—remain a menu favourite.
