I was very impressed with this place! Sadly I got there too late for a sub sandwich (the deli part closes at 4 PM), but we'll be coming back! It was awesome to look at a menu and know that anything was gluten-free and there was no cross contamination worries.

I think I need to move to Michigan.  I would love to open up a completely gluten free restaurant in my area but don't have the energy or patience for it right now ( or money lol).  Maybe someday ( now I hear Judy Garland singing).  Maybe I just need to follow the yellow brick road.  LOL

WOW is right next door to a Guido's pizza.  Guess what?  You can get "THE BEST" gluten free pizza ever at WOW! :D :D :D :D :D :D

 

Pizza is a very regional dish for what a person expects.  This is Midwestern goodness on a awesome gluten free crust.  (they also serve deep crust pizza) YUM

Yes, the Guido's pizza offers gluten free pizza! And they take precautions not to CC it!

He moved all the gluten free pizza making over to the WOW ovens.

 

I'm going there tomorrow!  Have to bring back pizzas for all my local gluten-free peeps.

Really??!! So that's how they prevent CC, is by making all the Guido's pizza on the WOW side? That is awesome!!

Yes. you can get the Guido's pizza gluten free, because it is made in the WOW without wheat ovens.

 

By the way the wow cookies sold on that big river on line store, are not from Without wheat in Okemos, MI

I'm going to WOW without Wheat this Sunday after the Lansing Hall of Fame Race!

 

I'm so excited to try out a sub there!

I tried out their sub and it was good, but it more closely resembled a flat bread sandwich than a sub. The wait time was rather long there.

 

What was ironic was that my sandwich was made in Guido's kitchen and not WOW's. If they go to such trouble with their pizzas and move them to the WOW ovens to bake, I'm not sure why they would make a sub in Guido's instead of WOW? The man assured me though that there was a completely dedicated prep space for subs there and they take necessary precautions against CC. Considering the signs that they put up warning people not to CC things in WOW, I believe that they know what they're doing, but it still seems strange that the sandwich wasn't made in the gluten-free bakery kitchen.

 

(WOW and Guido's function basically as one unit with a doorway connecting the two)

 

When we come back in a few months, I would like to try their pizza.

Sorry about the sandwich not being a top notch delight.  I totally love the pizza.

Everyone that stops there should encourage them to start opening chains or franchises for the rest of us.  Sounds like a great place to go!!

I talked to the owner about that.  Here's the problem, he opened the Guido's franchise first.  If he tries to break from Guido's he can't make pizza (or be in locations in the franchise areas)

 

As of right now my kids are planning on going to State, so I hope he stays put.  They will have some place to eat during their school years.  I will have some place to eat when I visit.

So, he has to make all the stuff except the gluten free pizza and the bakery goods in the Guido's kitchen?

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
