We went to dinner at Willow Street Pizza in Los Gatos (they also have 
restaurants at near Westgate and in Willow Glen in the San Jose area).  They 
are famous for their wood-fired pizzas.  I ordered the g-f pepperoni pizza and 
it was absolutely delicious!  Crispy crust, very good.  

I wanted to pass along a few things I learned.  While dining, I talked with 
Nancy Reineking, who is the restaurant’s Director of Operations.  Their g-f 
menu is only about 2 weeks old, and they are very eager to please us.  They 
also take cross contact very seriously - you even have to cut your own pizza 
at the table because they do not want to take a chance on using the same 
pizza cutter that was used on a gluten pizza.  They know to use clean water 
for our g-f pasta.  They have a rotisserie chicken that could be g-f, but are 
not sure of the ingredients in their garlic powder and do not have to take a 
chance at this point to say it is g-f.  I believe they are doing everything they 
can to accommodate our diet.

I also brought along a piece of my toasted bread and enjoyed pouring oil and 
vinegar into a little dish to dip my bread into while waiting for my pizza.  As a 
side note, my husband ordered their small gluten pepperoni pizza and said it 
was very good.  The price of eating there with two pizzas and two sodas was 
very reasonable - $40 (with tax and tip, plus I brought home ½ my pizza 
because I could not eat it all!).  I can’t wait to go back and try their g-f 
pastas and salads!  Their g-f menu is right on their website to click on.

I have no financial interest in this restaurant – just passing on some fabulous 
information of where to dine.  The usual disclaimer though - eating out is 
risky – be sure to ask the right questions!
