Our Gluten-Free crust with Flaxseed is high in fibre, gluten-free, transfat free, lactose free, soy free, corn free and wheat free. It does however contain yeast. Due to the nature of our pizza restaurants, the Gluten-free crust will become exposed to items that contain gluten.
Even though precaution has been put in place to prevent cross-contamination, we recommend that you make the final determination on consuming a Gluten-Free Crust Pizza based on the severity of your gluten intolerance
We at Pizzaville have taken the following measures to minimize cross-contamination such as:
1. Using Dedicated utensils solely for Gluten-Free Crust Pizzas.
2. Utensils will be stored in a glass enclosed display to minimize exposure to flour and other gluten ingredients/toppings in the restaurant.
3. Any pizza with a Gluten-Free Crust will be baked on a special screen designated SOLELY for Gluten-Free Crust Pizzas. Nutritional InformationAllergen Information

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Benefits
Blood pressure and cholesterol. According to a number of studies, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil can lower blood pressure. Fish oil can also cut triglyceride levels by 20% to 50%.
Cardiovascular health. Omega-3 fatty acids appear to lower the overall risk of death from heart disease. Fish oil may reduce arrhythmias, and people who take omega-3 supplements after a heart attack cut their risk of having another heart attack. Eating fish once or twice a week seems to significantly lower the risk of stroke.
Rheumatoid arthritis. A number of studies have found that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce stiffness and joint pain. Omega-3s also seem to boost the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Depression. Researchers have found that cultures that eat foods with high levels of omega-3s have lower levels of depression. Fish oil also seems to boost the effects of antidepressants. Fish oil may help reduce the depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder.
Prenatal health. Studies show that EPA and DHA supplementation during pregnancy boost the health of pregnant women and the development of their children. DHA appears to be important for visual and neurological development in infants.
Osteoporosis. Studies suggest that foods or supplements with omega-3s can improve bone density.
Asthma. Some evidence suggests that fish oil might improve lung function and reduce the amount of medication a person needs.
ADHD. A few studies have found that fish oil can reduce the symptoms of ADHD in school-age children and improve their cognitive function.
Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The evidence is preliminary, but some research suggests that omega-3s may help protect against Alzheimer's disease and dementia. However, more research needs to be done.
Other conditions. Although the quality of the evidence varies, there's research showing that omega-3s might have a role in treating or reducing the risk of many other conditions. These conditions include painful periods, diabetic kidney damage, obesity, skin conditions, some cancers, Crohn's disease, and lupus.
Did you know... One four-ounce tomato supplies about one-third of your daily need of vitamin C, plus a little beta carotene, potassium, folate and other B vitamins, iron, and fiber. Tomatoes are also rich in a carotenoid called lycopene, a potent antioxidant. The lycopene in cooked and processed tomatoes (sauce, paste, salsa, canned tomatoes) is more easily absorbed than that in raw tomatoes. Watermelon and pink grapefruit also contain lycopene.
