Glutino

I had the most perfect pizza for dinner last night. It was Glutino Spinach & Feta pizza. I found it at Safeway. It was $4.99, which I thought was a bit expensive for such a small size, but the taste made up for it. I baked it on a rack in my toaster oven for 16 minutes. It was light golden brown and very crispy. It did satisfy my craving for pizza without making me feel too full or bloated. I know Glutino makes other varieties as well. Give them a try, you may be pleasantly surprised!
