After being diagnosed with Celiac, life changed. It was a long road back to health and a complete education in gluten free eating and cooking. Finally after two long years, we had it figured out and thank God, had our family back to good health and nutrition!

The next thing we thought about was how we missed going out to eat. We were in the restaurant business and also enjoyed finding great restaurants to dine out at. BUT our old favorites but they weren’t an option anymore.

When we looked at Gluten Free Restaurants Boston, there wasn’t much. There were a few in downtown but outside of Boston or on the North Shore there were only a couple of chains. Don’t get me wrong, we were grateful for them!

That’s when we decided to expand the Dining area, include Beer and Wine and offer a delicious Gluten Free Pizza. It wasn’t easy to change how we prepared our Italian pizzas so that no gluten became airborne or implement all of the procedures to keep our new products free from cross-contamination. But we were determined to do it. We looked long and hard for a hand-baked crust that we were proud to serve alongside our Original Italian Pizza. We also wanted to make it available with many Gluten-Free choices for fresh and delicious toppings just like our Original.

And just as we were grateful for the Gluten Free Restaurants we found in Boston area, our customers have let us know that they feel the same way! We are really happy about providing Great tasting Gluten Free Pizza, Wings and even Gluten-Free Beer to this very under-served market!!!

Nana’s Owner, Anthony Radzikowski has been in the pizza business since 1984 and opened Nana’s in the Spring of 1991 featuring ITALIAN THIN-CRUST PIZZA AND CALZONES. The name of the business originates from Anthony’s grandmother and life-long Everett resident Ann Bradshaw, “Nana”, who is still rolling meatballs and making their famous marinara sauce six days a week. On her walk to work down Main Street you can usually catch her waving to many people who beep at her and yell out their car windows “Hey, Nana!” Anthony likes to point out that, “Many people are surprised when they walk in and see that there really is an actual Nana behind the counter. Adults love to meet her because she’s quite a character. But the best is when kids come in and see her and react as if they just saw Santa Clause walk out from the back room. Many think that the logo picture on our boxes is just a caricature, until they come in and see the real thing!”

“Adding the dining room was something that my wife, Gia, my manager, Rich , and I felt would be good addition to the business”, Radzikowski adds. “We have always focused on the delivery aspect of the business, but felt that giving customers the option of a beautiful place to sit and enjoy our pizza right out of the oven was a good idea. It gives people an affordable option of going out to eat and not having to travel far. Also, we see it as another way for us to extend our services to youth organizations, schools, charities, and businesses throughout the city that we have done business with for many years. Now, the option for them to come here and maybe have a fundraiser night, a family night, meeting or a school field trip is possible. Also, it’s beengreat getting to meet so many of our customers.”
