Pizza’s used to be a pretty regular menu item in our house before the elimination diet came along – take away ones that is. From our very first week of the elimination diet, home made pizzas have been a bit of a staple. We usually make them after having a roast chicken (using the leftovers), but since adding ham (Amines) back into our diet we have a few more options. We use a pizza stone in our oven to cook the pizzas, you could use an oven tray, but the base may not be as crisp.
We use pita breads as the bases, my favourite one is “Mr Pitta Traditional Pita Greek Souvlaki”, which is bit thicker than the other pita breads. Pitas are usually low chemical, although some contain vinegar, which means they will have a small amount of salicylates. Over the base we spread either garlic oil or leek sauce (the recipe is from the Failsafe Cookbook).

For a gluten free pizza, try pizza bases such as Healthy Feast gluten free pizza bases with are also Low Chemical / Failsafe. Partially cook the bases before adding the toppings.
Refer here for Leek Sauce and No-Tomato Sauce recipes.
Hint: Pizzas are a great way of getting kids involved in cooking, so let them help make their own pizza.
We use pear sauce to replace tomato paste and then l/o chicken with a slight sprinkling of mild cheese. If you could do dairy but not amines, you could use a little cottage cheese sprinkled with rice crumbs as a “cheese-ish” topping.
Good ideas, thanks Liz.
