Today I’m sharing my best gluten-free pizza dough recipes because giving up gluten shouldn’t mean giving up fresh, homemade pizza. Whether you prefer a chewy, traditional crust or a quick, grain-free alternative, this carefully tested collection shows you how to recreate the satisfying texture of pizzeria pizza in your own kitchen.
10 Essential Gluten-Free Pizza Dough Recipes
With the right ingredients and techniques, a classic, comforting pizza is entirely possible on a gluten-free diet. From New York-style foldable slices to inventive vegetable-based crusts, these recipes are designed to deliver great flavor and texture without gluten. Try a rustic cast-iron pie for a crisp edge and tender crumb, or choose a quick, yeast-free version when time is short.
For the best result, balance your toppings: a light layer of sauce, a good melting cheese, and two to three complementary toppings. Overloading a pizza will weigh the crust down and lead to uneven baking. A modest topping approach helps the crust stay crisp and bake evenly for a perfect slice every time.
Homemade gluten-free pizza sauce
Alongside these dough recipes, here is a simple homemade gluten-free pizza sauce that brightens any pie. It takes only minutes to prepare, keeps your pizza tasting fresh, and adds an obvious flavor boost.
5 MINUTE GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE (makes 1 2/3 cups)
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
- Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
- 398 ml (13.5 oz) canned pure tomato sauce
- 1 tsp. sweetener (honey, maple syrup or sugar)
- Sea salt to taste
Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and dried herbs and stir briefly until fragrant. Pour in the tomato sauce and add the sweetener. Simmer for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, remove from heat, and let cool before spreading on your dough.
