Gluten Free Melbourne - Mojos Weird Pizza

Sometimes there is nothing better than ordering in food. And when you can actually order gluten free, that is even better.

I have ordered from Mojo's Weird Pizza (clifton hill) a few times now, and I can say they are my new delivery favourite. The gluten free bases are crispy, and don't crumble/melt in your mouth as others often do. My suggestion is the Gringo + a salad. Yum!

Do recommend.
