Chicago’s Uno Grill, Maple Shade, NJ
So, I’m not really one for chain restaurants; I actually try to avoid them! But on a whim I googled “gluten free pizza” (waiting for a miracle, of course) and a hit for Chicago’s Uno Grill (formerly Pizzeria Uno’s) popped up! Well, having only been able to satiate my pizza needs using frozen boxed pizza (translation: sub-par,) I headed right over!!
Despite the menu and ambiance being generically “chain,” I rate the pizza a decent-plus! The gluten-free crust was thin and came in three flavors: tomato and cheese, pepperoni and veggie. I went for the plain ol’ pizza. Good stuff. Realistically, a real slice of pie can never really be replaced; but at least this one was fresh (not frozen) and hot out of an oven!
Another surprise was my side salad which was a good portion and tasted pretty fresh… no residue of lettuce-from-a-bag or anything. The gluten-free basil-lemon vinaigrette was tasty! Two gluten-free desserts were offered: the standard ice cream sundae (not too exciting) and bananas foster. I had that! Also good.
For the beer drinkers, Uno has Redbridge in a bottle.
