Pizza Capers rebuilds its gluten-free base
The new gluten-free pizza base is crunchier, crispier, and lighter.
Pizza Capers co-founder Scott Geiszler said the improved pizza base will meet strong consumer demand for more gluten-free pizza products, noting Coeliac disease affects approximately 1 in 100 Australians.
Geiszler said the company had completely rebuilt its original gluten-free base, which was the first launched in Australia by a major pizza company 10 years ago.
The all-natural ingredients, which are listed on the box, include gluten-free flours (white rice, brown rice, wholegrain corn, sorghum), water, sunflower oil, tapioca starch, potato starch, rice syrup, Maltodextrin (from corn), yeast, vegetable gum (Guar gum).
The pizza bases, which are also dairy-free, may contain traces of sesame seeds and are produced in a plant that also uses egg products. The Pizza Capers gluten-free pizza base is an officially accredited Gluten-Free product.
The gluten-free pizza base will be available in all stores around Australia. Pizza Capers currently has more than 100 stores in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, the ACT, Tasmania and Singapore.
