Press release from: ABNewswire

We never wanted to create a gluten-free pizza that people would tolerate. We wanted to create a pizza so good that people would choose it because they love it, not because they have to avoid gluten. That's been our mission from day one.

We never wanted to create a gluten-free pizza that people would tolerate. We wanted to create a pizza so good that people would choose it because they love it, not because they have to avoid gluten. That's been our mission from day one.

Rizzo's Original Pizza Tub is changing perceptions about gluten-free dining with deep-dish style pizza that prioritizes flavor and satisfaction alongside safety. Operating from Hamden, Connecticut, founders Kevin and Carole Rizzo have created a 100% gluten-free destination that appeals to everyone-from those with celiac disease to pizza lovers simply seeking something new and delicious.
The phrase gluten-free often carries unfortunate connotations in the food world-dry texture, cardboard taste, disappointing substitutes that remind you of what you're missing rather than what you're enjoying. Rizzo's Original Pizza Tub is working to change that narrative entirely. Based in Hamden, Connecticut, this family-owned operation founded by Kevin and Carole Rizzo has made it their mission to prove that gluten-free pizza can stand proudly as genuine comfort food, requiring no apologies and no compromises.

The concept began in the most humble of settings: the Rizzos' home kitchen. Like many successful food entrepreneurs, Kevin and Carole started experimenting not because they saw a business opportunity, but because they wanted to create something that didn't exist. They envisioned a gluten-free pizza that would satisfy on every level-safe for people with celiac disease, delicious enough to compete with any traditional pizza, and presented in a way that felt special and innovative. What emerged from those kitchen experiments was the Original Pizza Tub: deep-dish style pizza served in a signature tub format that's become increasingly popular throughout the region.

The deep-dish style is crucial to understanding what makes Rizzo's different. While many gluten-free pizzas go thin to mask textural challenges, Rizzo's embraces a heartier approach. The result is a pizza that feels substantial and indulgent-qualities that define great comfort food. The tub format serves multiple purposes: it's practical for keeping the deep-dish structure intact during transport, it's ideal for sharing, and it creates a distinctive presentation that stands out in an crowded marketplace.

Operating as a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen sets Rizzo's apart from the majority of pizzerias that offer gluten-free options as an afterthought. Every ingredient, every surface, and every tool in the facility is maintained in a completely gluten-free environment. This dedication eliminates the cross-contamination concerns that make dining out stressful for people with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity. But rather than treating this as a limitation, the Rizzos have embraced it as their foundation-a way to serve an underserved community with excellence rather than mere adequacy.

The target audience for Rizzo's Original Pizza Tub is refreshingly broad: men, women, and children of all ages. This demographic diversity speaks to the universal appeal of great pizza and the growing acceptance that dietary accommodations shouldn't define or limit food experiences. Parents appreciate having a safe option for children with celiac disease. Health-conscious adults value having a gluten-free choice that doesn't sacrifice taste. Food enthusiasts are drawn to the innovative format and bold flavors. Everyone can find something to love about the Pizza Tub concept.

Social media has played a significant role in spreading awareness about Rizzo's Original Pizza Tub. The visual appeal of the tub format, combined with enthusiastic customer testimonials, has helped the brand reach audiences far beyond Hamden. Posts featuring the distinctive pizza tubs generate engagement from people curious about both the gluten-free aspect and the unique presentation style. This organic social media growth reflects authentic customer enthusiasm rather than manufactured hype-people genuinely excited about discovering a pizza option that exceeds their expectations.

The broader implications of Rizzo's success extend beyond one pizza shop in Connecticut. As the gluten-free market continues expanding, businesses that treat gluten-free offerings with the same creativity, quality, and care as traditional options will increasingly stand out. The Rizzos demonstrate that serving the gluten-free community doesn't mean creating a separate, lesser category of food-it means innovating and elevating within that category until the distinctions become irrelevant.

From their beginning in a home kitchen to their current status as a talked-about destination for pizza lovers of all dietary preferences, Kevin and Carole Rizzo have stayed true to a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves great pizza. By building their business around that principle, operating with unwavering commitment to gluten-free safety, and refusing to compromise on flavor or experience, they've created something that resonates across demographics and dietary needs. Rizzo's Original Pizza Tub isn't just serving gluten-free pizza-it's redefining what gluten-free pizza can be.
