Gluten Free Meal Delivery
If you are you looking for gluten free meal delivery Perth now has some great options! Although pasta is rarely associated with Gluten Free food and although more gluten free pasta options are becoming available for consumption, in the past gluten free pasta has had some bad associations with flavourless cardboard!
At Tommy Sugo, we are passionate about changing this concept. As a result, we offer lots of gluten free home delivery meals and gluten friendly pastas, sauces, arancini’s and meals.
Hello, my name is Nathan and I started Tommy Sugo in 2014. Prior to Tommy Sugo being created, I worked as a naturopath helping people deal with the likes of coeliac disease and gluten and wheat allergies and sensitivities. Back in the day when I was in my naturopathic practice, choices of good flavoursome foods…particularly pasta were considerably limited. Now it’s a different story, which is good because food allergies are significantly more of an issue now.
So, it’s been a passion of mine to create a menu at Tommy Sugo of gluten free and gluten friendly pasta that offer our customers choice, have great texture and taste amazing…even for customers without sensitivities to enjoy.
Gluten Free Meal Delivery Preparation
Gluten sensitivities and allergies need to be treated with care, sensitivity, and knowledge. Cross contamination and knowledge of gluten segregation within the production kitchen are an absolute must when it comes to gluten free pasta production.
When we are making the likes of our gluten free gnocchi (made from potato, rice and corn flour), we apply the following procedures
- We always make our gluten free pastas and products first thing in the morning on our pasta machines prior to the equipment coming in contact with any other ingredients, especially gluten.
- All food production equipment is thoroughly and meticulously cleaned at the end of every day – we are meticulous when it comes to this!
- In our commercial pasta production kitchen, we follow strict HAASP regulations, which govern health and safety within the kitchen. These are best practice methods and have strictly enforced regulations that ensure some of the highest health standards in the word in the food industry. We are externally assessed and regulated by a third party to ensure strict guidelines are followed.
- All Tommy Sugo procedures are based around knowledge related to minimising gluten cross contamination within the kitchen. As we make both traditional and gluten free pasta, we follow strict procedures related to using only gluten free cooking equipment for gluten free production and cooking.
- Pasta is cooked completely separately from our other standard gluten pastas, further limiting exposure to gluten.
With our passion for providing great gluten free pasta, sauces and meals, we educate our team and strive to minimise the risk of gluten cross contamination to provide certainty that you can finally order your gluten free meal delivery or gluten free take away with the assurance we are doing our best to avoid any traces of gluten within your food or meal.
Naturally we are also realistic and aware that in a kitchen of other gluten pastas the likes of gluten in the air can also be a possibility so although we can not guarantee 100% gluten free, we will always take 110% care to ensure we minimise chances of gluten cross contamination. The results speak for them selves as we have now served over 10,000 gluten free and gluten friendly meals with many very happy gluten free and coeliac customers purchasing our meals regularly.
Amazing New Gluten Free Food Delivery Options
Gluten free options are now highly sought after and thankfully over the past 10 years the options, quality, flavour, and texture have all dramatically improved. Being in the health industry for many years, I have seen the development of cardboard textured and flavoured pasta as the only option to now a vast variety of options. And thankfully so, as more and more people seem to be reacting to gluten or report to feel better in general when avoiding gluten products.
So, the good news is that we have been very actively working on a range of gluten free and gluten friendly pastas, arancini’s and more that have amazing texture, incredible flavours and that are fast and easy to prepare. All of these amazing gluten free / Gluten friendly options can now be delivered directly to your door in the Perth metro area.
What Is the Difference Between Gluten Free and Gluten Friendly?
- Gluten free pastas, meals and products are made using no gluten ingredients, including no wheat, rye, oats, or barley. The kitchens they are made in contain zero risk of gluten cross contamination. These products are prepared in a kitchen strictly containing zero gluten ingredients. So for the like of celiacs they offer the safest option.
- Gluten friendly products are those made containing zero gluten ingredients but are made in a kitchen that makes other products including products with gluten ingredients.
- Gluten friendly pastas and products are suitable for those who choose to avoid gluten as a lifestyle and dietary choice but are not going to react should there be some tiny amounts of gluten in the air or that manage to work their way into the gluten free ingredients.
As health is one of the most important factors in a person’s life, we feel one of the most important duties is to clearly articulate to our customers what products are gluten free and what ones are gluten friendly, so you can make your own dietary decisions based on clear facts.
So now that the definitions and facts are clarified, let me tell you about our amazing new gluten friendly and gluten free products we have developed.

Gluten Friendly Pumpkin Feta Arancini
We have made this using polenta for crumbing, it is cooked in the same oil we use to cook our other arancinis that do have gluten, but have zero gluten ingredients in the actual arancini.
Jackfruit Curry Arancini
This is very different, new and exciting. We made this using desiccated coconut on the outside instead of wheat flour and jackfruit inside which is an amazing non flavoured fruit with a meaty type texture. We have added curry to this and I have to say it tasted amazing!! Simply heat in the oven or air fryer from frozen like all our meals and serve. It makes a really great entertainer and snack.
Gluten Free Ricotta Spinach Ravioli
This is certified gluten free and made in a kitchen that contains no gluten. Perfect for celiacs. Great texture and it’s so good you would not even know it’s gluten free.
Sauces
All our Tomato based sauces (we currently have 3 types) and pesto sauce are gluten friendly. They contain no gluten ingredients but are made in our kitchen containing gluten. Sauces are a lot easier to make without gluten than pasta!!
Macaroni/ Gemelli / Spaghetti
These are 3 varieties of gluten friendly pastas we have started making. All fresh frozen, and should be cooked from frozen (don’t thaw them first). Corn is one of the main ingredient we use. Texture is great!!
Coming Soon;
We have just wiped up a gluten friendly Harvey beef lasagna and I have to tell you it was absolutely fantastic! We made it using a new gluten friendly béchamel recipe my Sicilian father in law created and it tastes creamy and absolutely amazing! So good in fact I think it gives our usual lasagnas a run for their money. Consensus is that we could not actually tell it was gluten friendly! So stay tuned for this one as it will be a real game changer.
Gluten free and gluten friendly are a real passion of mine so we will be bringing out a load of new gluten free and gluten friendly products soon so watch this space.
