Green Olive Pizza: A Gluten-Free Oasis in a Kosher Desert
Listen up, fellow New Yorkers. We all have those food memories, the tastes of childhood that cling to us like a good slice of pizza grease. For me, before the gluten-free life chose me, it was the falafel and pizza joints of Flushing, Queens. Now? Finding a decent gluten-free falafel, let alone a pizza, that doesn't taste like cardboard is a quest worthy of Indiana Jones.
Enter Green Olive Pizza. This place, my friends, is a revelation. Kosher and a gluten-free haven? It's like they read my mind.
The decor is pleasant, with a subtle nod to its Jewish theme – nothing over the top, just a comfortable, neighborhood vibe. The staff? So kind, so friendly, you'll feel like you've known them for years.
But let's get to the important stuff: the food.
As someone who remembers the glory days of gluten-filled falafel, I can tell you, Green Olive's gluten-free version is legit. It's got that same satisfying melt in your mouth cornucopia of flavors, that transports me back to those Flushing days. And if the gluten-free is this good, I can only dream about what their regular pizza is like.
There are unique flavors here, for sure, but they're not trying to be fancy for the sake of fancy. Everything is well-balanced, delicious, and, most importantly, satisfying. For a gluten-free, New Yorker, Green Olive Pizza isn't just a restaurant; it's a lifeline. It's a place where I can enjoy the flavors I love without sacrificing my dietary needs or my memories. Thank you, Green Olive Pizza, for bringing a little bit of home back into my life.
