Gluten-Free Doesn’t Mean Compromising on Taste: A Guide to Pizza Al Forno’s Gluten-Free Pizzas
When you think of comfort food, there’s nothing quite like a perfectly baked pizza — crispy on the outside, soft in the centre, and loaded with fresh toppings. But for those who avoid gluten, finding a pizza that’s both flavourful and satisfying can be a challenge. At Pizza Al Forno, they’ve made it a mission to change that.
They believe that gluten-free shouldn’t mean taste-free. Every pizza leaving their oven — including their gluten-friendly options — is crafted with the same care, quality, and passion that make us a local favourite across Victoria.
Fresh Dough, Made In-House Daily
Quality starts with the base. Their dough is hand-pressed daily in-house, never frozen, and prepared without preservatives or added oils. Their traditional dough is made fresh daily and is completely free from eggs and dairy. For those who prefer a gluten-friendly option, Pizza Al Forno also offers a ‘Gluten Smart’ crust in 12″ and a Cauliflower Crust in 10″.
House-Made Sauce and the Freshest Ingredients
At Pizza Al Forno, nothing is pre-made or pre-shredded. Their pizza sauce is prepared fresh daily, and their 100 % mozzarella cheese is shredded in-house — because pre-shredded cheese often comes with preservatives that dull the flavour. They use a special blend that gives every bite the perfect stretch and taste.
Every vegetable that tops your pizza is fresh — never frozen. From juicy Roma tomatoes and crisp bell peppers to sliced mushrooms and fragrant cilantro, they make sure each topping adds colour, crunch, and freshness to your meal.
They don’t cut corners. They craft flavour.
Gluten-Smart Pizza Options You’ll Love
Their gluten-friendly pizzas aren’t just about substituting the crust — they’re about preserving that authentic Pizza Al Forno taste. You can turn most of their classic or specialty pizzas into gluten-friendly versions with the simple “Gluten Smart” upgrade.
Some of their local favourites that pair beautifully with gluten-friendly crusts include:
Canadian Classic – Their signature tomato sauce, smoked ham, dry-cured pepperoni, mushrooms, red onion, mozzarella blend + cheddar, and smoked bacon.
Butter Chicken Pizza – A creamy butter sauce base with diced chicken, mushrooms, red onion, red bell peppers, baby spinach, mozzarella blend, and fresh cilantro.
Spicy Perogy Pizza – A local crowd-pleaser with sliced potatoes, red onion, green onion, banana peppers, mozzarella blend + cheddar, and smoked bacon, served with a side of sour cream.
The 420 Pizza – A meaty favourite with smoked ham, pepperoni, beef crumble, bacon, chorizo sausage, banana peppers, and our house tomato sauce.
Each can be customized to your liking — gluten-friendly crust, your favourite sauce, and plenty of cheese.

Locally Made, Community Loved
They’re proud to call Victoria and Saanich home. Every recipe on their menu — from its handcrafted pizzas to their oven-baked pastas — has been created in-house by their team. They’re not a franchise that relies on generic recipes. They’re local, independent, and committed to quality.
Their Philosophy is simple:
Use only fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Prepare everything in-house.
Keep it affordable without compromising on taste.
It’s the kind of care you can taste in every bite — and the reason locals keep calling us one of the best pizza places in Victoria.
Create Your Own Gluten-Friendly Pizza
For those who love experimenting with flavours, their Create Your Own Pizza option is a game-changer. Start with a Gluten Smart 12″ crust or Cauliflower 10″ crust, pick your sauce (base options like Signature Tomato, Garlic Butter, or Creamy Butter Sauce), then load up on your favourite toppings.
Choose from classics like smoked ham, pepperoni, red onion, pineapple, or jalapeños — or go bold with tandoori chicken, lamb crumble, or beef seekh kebab. The combinations are endless, and the flavour is always consistent — fresh, authentic, and satisfying.
Taste the Difference: It’s All in the Details
From the moment your pizza hits their oven, they’re focused on one thing — flavour that feels homemade.
Their pizzas are baked on a stone surface for that perfect crispy edge.
They use minimal oil — just enough to enhance the flavour without making it greasy.
Their ingredients are locally sourced whenever possible.
This commitment to quality ensures that every bite of our gluten-free pizza in Victoria, BC, is a memorable one.
