Il Vicino
Gluten Free Albuquerque
Il Vicino is my family's favorite place to meet with friends and enjoy a great meal. Unfortunately, their menu is limited to pizza, pasta and sandwiches.

I decided I wasn't going to miss the camaraderie that goes along with our frequent visits to Il Vicino so I would eat beforehand. When the manager noticed that I wasn't eating and I explained why, she told me that I could bring in any gluten-free pizza crust in its unopened packaging and they would use it to make me pizza. Over time, Il Vicino has prepared pizza on several different gluten-free pizza crusts that I've brought in and they also suggested using corn tortillas. I prefer the corn tortillas topped with mozzarella cheese and green chiles along with a side of marinara for dipping. It isn't pizza but it is an excellent meal.

If you have a favorite gluten-free pizza crust, bring it with you in its unopened packaging and defrost it if frozen. You can order any combination of toppings that meet your dietary needs. Your pizza will be prepared to avoid cross contamination and will be cooked in the pizza oven on a separate plate.
