A Review of Pizza Nova in Solana Beach

Last night I ordered take-out, gluten free pizza from Pizza Nova in Solana Beach. What a relief to find excellent, gluten free pizza at a reasonable price in San Diego. Pizza Nova has been in business since 1990. They have three locations in the greater San Diego area; Solana Beach, Delmar and Point Loma. The restaurant specializes in homemade, gourmet, wood fire pizza, Italian pastas, appetizers, soups, salads and desserts. Besides delicious appetizers and salads, Pizza Nova’s menu has 17 varieties of gluten free pizza from pear gorgonzola to goat cheese. They also have free home delivery and catering services. I ordered the gluten free, Mediterranean vegetarian pizza and a caprese tomato and mozzarella salad. The caprese salad is a zesty blend of six large slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, yellow and red roma tomatoes, capers and a light blend of olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. The salad serves one to two people. Pizza Nova's gluten free, Mediterranean vegetarian pizza is topped with sautéed Portobello mushrooms, zucchini, olives, tomatoes, onions, fontina, feta and mozzarella cheese. The pizza and salad arrived within 30 minutes of my telephone order. Pizza Nova’s 10 inch gluten free pizza serves one to two people and has about six slices. The wood fire gluten free crust is thick and somewhat chewy with a savory olive oil and herb flavor. My sister who is not gluten intolerant ate a piece of my gluten free pizza and liked it better than her regular cheese pizza from another local restaurant. I heartily recommend Pizza Nova for its excellent customer service. The staff at Pizza Nova is friendly and conscientious, and they are careful with gluten free pizza orders. The gluten free pizza at Pizza Nova in Solana Beach is some of the best gluten free pizza I have eaten in a long time.
