Gluten Free Restaurant: Pier 49

Pocatello now has a pizza place that offers a gluten-free crust: Pier 49: San Francisco Style Sour-dough. Quite recently, they put a notice on their sign that read, "Gluten free crust available". Last night my mom and I tried it. It is quite good crust, better than what Beau-Jo's offers as a gluten free crust. It is slightly pricier than their "normal" (read: poisonous) crusts, but that's to be expected. My only real complaint is that they were rather chintzy with the toppings. I don't know if that's usual or if we just had a chintzy person putting our pizza together. *shrugs* But it tasted good. I should mention that there is nothing about "gluten free" listed on the menu, so you'll have to ask. There is only one size available, 12-inch.

Despite the name, the chain seems to have its roots in Utah, with most of its locations therein. You can also find sample menus from some of the restaurants on that page, which seem fairly similar to the Pocatello menu. As for location, it's in the same plaza as Chang's Garden and Sizzler, just off of Pocatello Creek, and thus easily accesible to people coming through on I-15. Here is a map linked to from the main Pier-49 site. Just get off at the Pocatello Creek exit and go west, then look for a middling shopping center on the right. Fair warning, the Pocatello Pier 49 is closed on Sundays.
