Monical's Pizza Arbor Vitae, WI (near Minocqua) Gluten Free Pizza




I was searching for a great place to get some gluten free food or a pizza while visiting the Minocqua area this past week.  I was lucky enough to come across Monicals Pizza, a cute little place on the water.   Keep in mind if you come at dinner time there will be a wait, in fact we had to come back the next day, as I had three restless kids that were hungry.  We decided to come half an hour early the next day at 5, on a Friday and we were lucky to get one of the last tables.  If you have older kids there is a game room area to wait in with a bar, just bring change.

Anyway asked the server if they had gluten free crusts in and thank goodnes they did.  It was a 10 inch pizza, I ordered the veggie, which had onions, green peppers, mushrooms, green olives, black olives, and tomatoes.  I skipped the hot peppers, the size was perfect, in fact I think I ate too much as I only left one piece.  The crust was perfectly crisp, and tasted as good as any gluten pizza, a bit crisp on the ends, but overall I really enjoyed it.  I would  return again if in the area.

I also stopped by a place called http://www.wildberrymarket.org/  .  It was a nice little organic market with gluten free options like granola bars, udis bread, brownies, nuts, and so much more. 

Another place I didnt get a change to try is http://www.hvfoodgallery.com/  . I have read good reviews on it for salads and lighter meals.


Enjoy!

Two Moms In The Raw Review

Thanks to these gracious people for letting me sample some of their terrific food.

Here is a bit of information on this company

Founded in 2006 by Shari and Marsha (daughter and mom team)…Two Moms in the Raw is a family-owned raw food manufacturer located in Boulder County Colorado. Only Organic, Kosher, Gluten Free, Vegan ingredients are used in the handmade production of our Granola Bars, Nut Bars, Sea Cracker, Truffles and Cereals.  We look forward to hearing from you so please…drop us a note or give us a call!














First I will start with their delicious blueberry bar, this was perfect for my break time at work.  Very filling and delicious, and also good for you, great for travel, even though I am not a huge blueberry fan I really liked this bar, and it wasn't overwhelming at all, love the walnuts, pecans, and almonds combo.


My next favorite is the Cacao Truffles, Wow, these are delicious, come three in a pack, while I only ate two they were so good I could have eaten three of them.   I love that this is all natural and organic, this made a good night time snack for me, when that craving hits you.





























I also tried the Tomato Basil Sea Crackers, they have a great crunch to them, great for a mid day craving for something crunchy and satisfying. These were also great in soup, and I am going to try them in my salad next time instead of croutons, yummy!

 

They also make a granola that comes in bars in a bag.  For information and how to get these items go to

Enjoy!
