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 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?

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
