This Gluten Free Caprese Pizza is so delicious and perfect for simple entertaining! With oven roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, balsamic reduction and basil, you've got an elegant pizza that is a crowd pleaser.
Do you feel like traveling today? What do you think about a trip to Italy?
Wouldn't that be nice?
Ah, well, there is the little matter of three kids and a house to keep going.
Until I can get there in the real world, maybe we can just share a pizza?
That sounds pretty good too.
Plus, I'm bringing wine. It isn't summer entertaining without great food and wine.
And, oh, this pizza. It is simple, fresh, seasonal and most importantly delicious.
It is also incredibly easy to make. Since I'm gluten free, and gluten free crust can stick, I like to make it in a pizza pan. I just roll it out, parabake it, add my toppings and bake again. Since I've always got pizza dough in the freezer, this is one of my easy go-to meals.
Paired with Estancia wines, I can't think of a better summer evening.
I love Estancia wines because they are handcrafted with great purpose.
The commitment to making the best wine possible and never compromising the process shows. The quality for the price just can't be beaten.
Estancia was founded on the concept of “terroir”, which is the idea that environmental conditions, such as soil and climate, in which the grapes are grown give the wine its unique flavor and aroma. Estancia means “estate” in Spanish, and this name emphasizes their conviction that the world’s best wines capture the essence of their place of origin.
Today, I've used Estancia Pinot Noir, which is fantastic with this Gluten Free Caprese Pizza, but I also really enjoy their Chardonnay.
How are you entertaining with food and wine this summer?

This looks incredible! I'm usually hesitant about gluten-free pizzas because of the crust, but this definitely looks like one to try! #client

It is a really good one! Pictured is a corn-free version of my favorite gluten free crust and I think the version with corn flour is slightly better. (That is the one linked to in the post.)

I will have to look for this gluten free dough. My daughter would absolutely love this pizza
Wendy Polisi
I hope she does!
Amber Nelson
This looks so amazing. I would love to try this for sure. I love that this is gluten free.
Wendy Polisi
Thanks so much Amber!

That pizza looks so good. I would like to try a gluten free crust but I don't have to have one. So far my belly has been able to process gluten just fine.
Wendy Polisi
If my digestive system wouldn't revolt I would totally make this with a traditional crust! My boys are not gluten free and I make them crusts all the time - it kills me because I want to dive in.

This one looks absolutely amazing! I don't usually love gluten free pizza but I am going to be trying this one!

Ah... who needs a trip to Italy when you can simply make this delicious dish at home! I love the flavor combinations and who wouldn't love pizza, right? This is a recipe worth keeping! Thanks!
Wendy Polisi
Thanks so much Amanda!

This is an amazing recipe. You've made it very easy to follow, and now I'm so tempted to make one for myself. Pizza is something I've never made from stratch so would love the challenge 🙂
Wendy Polisi
You should try it! I keep homemade pizza dough in the freezer so it is an easy meal!

I was just thinking yesterday that I wanted pizza and how hard it is to find a yummy gluten free crust. I need to try this recipe!
Wendy Polisi
Let me know if you do Jill!

Wendy Polisi
Thanks so much Rebecca!
Wendy Polisi
Thanks Karen! I am the same way - would love it but it isn't going to be any time soon.
Wendy Polisi
Thanks Michele!

This looks amazing. I love to see GF options, my niece can't have gluten and she is a pizza lover.
Wendy Polisi
Thanks so much Chrissy!

How delicious! Caprese pizza is one of my favorites. I love that this version is gluten-free. I'll have to try this recipe sometime! - HilLesha
Wendy Polisi
I know - you really can't go wrong with Caprese anything! Let me know if you try it!
Wendy Polisi
This is a great gf crust, but if you aren't gluten free you could easily make it on a regular crust. Gluten Free flours can get expensive!
Wendy Polisi
Thanks, hope you enjoy it!
Wendy Polisi
It is such a lifesaver, isn't it?
Rose Sahetapy
I like your concept to keep pizza dough in freeze, so at a time of need you just take it out and make a pizza. The using of balsamic glaze is the winner to me. Delicious pizza and good wine, a great combination.
Wendy Polisi
I know - I'm not sure the combination gets any better! Thanks for stopping by Rose.
