Update on Blue Moon Pizza - Buckhead location

According to the Blue Moon Pizza manager I spoke with this week, the opening date of the new location  in Buckhead has been pushed out to July. Check the locations page on the Blue Moon Pizza website for updates as well as the address of the new location. The new location will offer free parking at various lots in the area. 

Blue Moon Pizza opening in Buckhead in May 2011

The last time I was at Blue Moon Pizza in Vinings, the manager told me that the local chain is opening a location in Buckhead in May. The next location opening will be in the Sandy Springs area in August (or September) in 2011. Unfortunately, there are no plans to move into Gwinnett yet, but at least I can enjoy great pizza at the Buckhead location when in town.

Also, the manager stressed that if anyone EVER gets sick from gluten-free offerings while eating at any location of Blue Moon Pizza, the owner wants to know about it immediately. Their goal is to offer safe meals to the gluten-free community 100% of the time. The staff (front and back of the house) is updated on cross contamination issues regularly in an effort to make this happen.

No matter how far you have to drive to get to any Blue Moon Pizza - it's definitely well worth the trip!!!

Blue Moon Pizza expanding in the ATL!

Kelvin at Blue Moon Pizza is working hard to secure some new locations in the Atlanta area. If you haven't tried the gluten-free pizza and cheesy bread there yet, you're REALLY missing out! Anyway, both locations are over in Cobb county - kind of a far trek for us so we tend to go there on the way back from TN (if it's not a Sunday when the restaurant is closed). Anyway, the locations Kelvin is looking to expand to are up Peachtree Industrial in Suwanee, over on 141 in Johns Creek area (or Abbot's Creek) and the Glenridge Connector area.

Kelvin and his team have worked out details regarding cross contamination issues since they do make gluten pizzas there too. I've heard great things about the gluten-free blondie dessert, but after having cheesy bread and pizza, we never have room for dessert with ice cream! If they ever get opened on our side of town, I will go there just to try the blondie - no doubt!

The photo on top is a cheeseburger pizza that my husband ordered once. It was heavy on the meat which I don't love but as long as I get my cheesy bread (other photo), he can pick the pizza we get. Today, I had a small Greek salad and split the cheesy bread with a friend. I still got to bring some cheesy bread home to enjoy with a salad for lunch tomorrow. I actually like the cheesy bread better than the gluten-free pizza and a gluten eater I know told me that the gluten-free pizza might be better than the gluten one. Yes - it's that fabulous people!

*Eating out might be a risk - but it's one I most definitely think is worth taking. Life is short enough so don't let being gluten-free hold you back from living it to the fullest every day!
