We found it in the freezer section at our local Whole Foods Market: Bold Organics Frozen pizza that is gluten free, dairy free, egg free and nut free! It met all of our food allergen free requirements. Even though my children can eat gluten, I become the Aaron Greenwald of bloating if I eat too much gluten. We are perpetually on the hunt for dairy, nut and sesame seed free “fast foods” that can be picked up by well meaning friends wanting to provide safe food options for my son. Alas, a winner was discovered withBold Organics.
I had to grab the camera fast as my son was eating this food allergy friendly pizza at lightening speed!
My son liked it so much that even though he promised to share with his sister, but he ate the whole pizza sans one tiny slicer for Mom. That says it all right there. I was happy with this choice for a few reasons:
[unordered_list style=”tick”]
- The pizza is organic! We try to buy organic as much as possible.
- The company was started by Bold Organics , who took a year off of college to start Aaron Greenwald after taking an Entrepreneur class!
- Aaron stated this business to meet his own needs of feeling better when he eat gluten and dairy free.
- Bold Organics took it steps farther and are also nut, egg and sesame seed free (of course, if you try this pizza, double check and call Bold up to make sure there have been no recipe changes).
- My son has a nice last minute choice when heading to a friend’s house for dinner.
- The crust was thin…my favorite, there was enough non-dairy cheese to provide that yummy goodness for my teeth to sink in to with each bite.
- It tasted great!!
The pizza was not cheap, so eating this weekly is not going to happen around here, but as a treat or again, to keep my children safe at a friend’s house, it is worth every penny. The pizzas were small, so I would pick one up per person. We tried the Meat Lovers Pizza only and have the Veggie variety next on our list.
Kudos to Bold Organics for taking his entrepreneurial spirit out for a spin in solving a few culinary challenges for our food allergy community.
p.s. Bold Organics hasn’t a clue that I’m writing about them today. They did send me a coupon for a free pizza to try out their product. I welcome products to sample with hopes of sharing our findings with our food allergy community. Again, what I like in a product may be the thing that sends you running and what you love might be the reason I don’t enjoy that product. By sharing well all learn about new products to improve our lives with food allergies.

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
Sounds awesome! I just sent them an email though as they claim to be organic, but most the ingredients aren’t listed as organic. Very strange. Waiting on confirmation on that and if all the ingredients are GMO free. Sadly we can’t have this one because there is soy and corn, but glad it’s an option for most people!
Ok, got an immediate reponse from the owner. GREAT customer service!
“Our pizzas are “Made with Organic” Certified and about 85% organic. We have not been able to find a dairy free cheese that is 100% organic so we currently use a 70% organic cheese. We are developing a 100% organic non dairy cheese to be to get to that status.
All of the ingredients are 100% non GMO and certified non GMO by the non GMO project.”
So, everything is GMO free, which is most important!
Thanks for the super sleuthing! Good work! GMO Free is king!
I really enjoy learning about new products (love the coconut ‘butter’), but so many of them are cost-prohibitive. I wish that healthy, processed foods could become more affordable.
I have been looking for a gluten, dairy, egg and nut free frozen pizza for close to 3 years now – ever since I found out my son had food allergies to those foods. I’m not sure I would have found this without your blog post. THANK YOU!!!
I hope your son likes it! My son enjoyed the pizza, of course, double check the labels for recipes changes or errors. Have a fun week!
