Whole Foods Gluten Free Pizza


So I have been trying several different brands of Gluten Free pizza crusts. I want to compare price vs. taste.
These crusts from Whole Foods are $3.99 for 2 individuals. They are par-cooked and bake pretty quickly.
Overall I would score these 4.5 of 5 for both price and taste.

I made 2 variations of this pizza.

A veggie pizza with Broccoli, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Black Olives & Jalapenos

This second pizza I tried with just Mushrooms
