In *ahem* extremely exciting gluten-free pizza news, northern Delaware is now home to Extreme Pizza, located in downtown Wilmington. The good news: they deliver and the pizza is really good! (In fact, I voted for them in the Triumph survey.)

On the down side, it's pricey - almost $16 for a 12" plain cheese GF pizza and about $20 for specialty toppings. In comparison, Seasons Pizza is $9.99 but it's smaller and thinner. That's quite a splurge for pizza, but it may be worth it on rare occasions, since lazy + delivery + GF is no simple proposition. (Another unfortunate side effect of celiac disease: $20 pizza?!) Extreme's GF menu also includes a few salad choices. The specialty pizzas are very creative and have fun names like Mr. Pestato Head, Peace in the Middle East (shown above, with hummus, tomatoes, olives, onions, feta, fresh basil, pepperoncinis, and mozzarella), and Poultry Geist. Another perk: Extreme also offers soy cheese.
