Toronto - VILLA Restaurant Giveaway!

Gluten-Free Pizza with Pineapple
Villa Restaurant is one of favourite restaurants.  In the heart of Bloor West Village, Villa offers gluten-free pizza, pasta, multigrain dinner buns, salads and even some desserts.  Since 2004, Villa has been serving the Celiac community - long before most other restaurants even considered offering gluten-free options and two years before I was even diagnosed with Celiac Disease.


Do you know how wonderful it is to go to a restaurant and order gluten-free food right from the menu?


I have been there many times and each time the food is great.  My go-to meals are usually the Alfredo with gluten-free spiral noodles or pizza with various toppings.  If you visit during lunch hours, you also get a side salad with your pizza or pasta order!

    I have never been to Villa, but I am looking at the menu drooling right now... At first I thought Linguini Di Mare, but the Wild Mushroom Pizza sounds unreal. So I would get the Linguini, and then make who ever I go with get the pizza so I could eat both! :P

    I didn't know about this spot! So excited. I don't eat dairy so I'd create my own delicious pizza with tomato sauce, basil oil, and spinach.

    That pineapple pizza sounds great. I'm on a pineapple thing lately. All of their entrees sound incredible, but what caught my eye the most was the chevre scalloped potatoes. I love scalloped potatoes and haven't had a new take on them in ages.

    I have to choose just one?! Well, my top pick would probably have to the Avocado Pizza, but the Penne Arrabiate with a dinner sounds pretty darn good too :)

    ohhhh I have been craving PIZZA for a long while and too be honest can't think of a time I've ever had a great gluten-free pizza, ever. But the Pollo Affumicato with
    Tomato sauce, caramelized onions, cambozola, spinach, smoked chicken, roasted pine nuts... sounds amazing. Thanks for the opportunity. I am @suzanadacamara for twitter

    The GF pizza is awfully tempting... and so is the Salmon actually... But I'm thinking some nice creamy Fettucine Alfredo... unless they also do the Ravioli GF, then I might be tempted by that! :)
