Paciugo Gelato

I dropped by Paciugo Gelato for a cool treat on a hot summer day.  What I found was the best gelato in San Antonio.  Their flavors were unique, the product was creamy, and the service was outstanding.  Out of curiosity, I sampled their Lavender Chocolate Chip, and loved it.  I also ended up getting the Bailey's Chocolate Swirl and Tre Vaniglie.  For the dairy intolerant, they also have several fruity flavors that are dairy free.  They also make shakes and have espresso.  The only thing to be careful about is that some of the flavors are garnished with cookies or other gluten containing treats, so be sure to examine their flavors and ask questions before ordering.  I will be returning for sure!

They are located in Alamo Heights or at La Cantera.

Rome's Pizza

Rome's Pizza is a local pizza chain that recently unveiled an extensive GF menu.  The menu is not available yet online, but is available as a flyer in the stores.  The menu includes GF pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, and even chocolate cake.  I went for lunch and tried a GF pizza, and I was not disappointed.  The crust is thin and crispy on the edges while chewy in the middle.  I found it to be one of the best GF pizzas in the city and they have a variety of traditional and gourmet toppings.  The pizza is large enough to serve 1-2 people and is reasonably priced.  The pizza sandwich was great and they will provide tomato sauce for dipping if you like.  I will have to return to try the chocolate cake.  I have uploaded the GF menu as well as a picture of the 10" pizza and the pizza sandwich.

They have four locations in San Antonio and one in Austin.
