Gluten Free Pizza Crust vs. Traditional Pizza Crust: What’s the Difference?

If you’re new to gluten free living—or just exploring pizza crust options beyond the traditional crust — you’ve probably wondered: How different is gluten free pizza crust, really?

Great question. Whether you’re avoiding gluten or just looking for a lighter, crispier alternative, understanding the difference between traditional and gluten free pizza crust can help you choose a slice that satisfies.

Traditional Pizza Crust vs. Gluten Free: What’s in the Dough?

Classic pizza crust is typically made with wheat flour, which gives it that signature chewy, elastic texture. But for those avoiding gluten, simply swapping in a gluten free flour doesn’t always work the same magic.

Gluten free baking often relies on blends that include things like potato starch, tapioca, and other ingredients. While great for structure in bread, they don’t always deliver the golden-brown crisp you want in a pizza.

That’s where Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Pizza makes all the difference. We craft our crust using real cauliflower and a thoughtfully selected blend of gluten free ingredients—resulting in a light, crispy texture and mild flavor that lets your toppings shine.

Comparing Gluten Free Pizza Crusts: What Sets Cauliflower Apart

Not all gluten free crusts are created equal. Here's how cauliflower crust compares to other popular gluten free options:

Cauliflower Crust

Light, crispy, and flavor-friendly. It bakes evenly, doesn’t overpower your toppings, and delivers the texture pizza lovers crave. That’s why it's a fan favorite—and Milton’s specialty.

Almond Flour Crust

Tends to have a nutty, overpowering flavor. It can also be a bit crumbly when baked, which doesn’t quite work for pizza.

Rice Flour Crust

Mild in flavor, but often lacks the structure needed for a crispy finish. It can end up a bit too soft or thin after baking.

Chickpea Flour Crust

Packed with protein, but often too chewy and dense. It may work for flatbreads, but not ideal for that perfect pizza slice.

Why Milton’s Rises Above the Rest

At Milton’s, we set out to create a gluten free crust that checks every box—and then some. Crisp? Yes. Flavorful? Definitely. Easy to prep and serve? Absolutely.
