Godfather's Pizza gluten-free?

Today I found out that Godfather's Pizza carries gluten free pizza. I did some research and it appears that is true. They are becoming more aware of the the seriousness and increase of Celiacs disease. I went to call the Godfather's nearest me and they do not carry it and said they will not be carrying it. I searched for the nearest Godfather's and that one along with quite a few do not carry gluten free pizza. Is this something Godfather's pizza is slowly working towards. I was disappointed. :(

Oh! Does anyone know of a delivery or common restaurant that offers gluten free pizza?

Yeah I would be scared of cross-contamination issues if ANY conventional pizza joint starting carrying gluten-free pizza.

My mother makes a bangin' homemade pizza...maybe she can take orders online! :lol:

The pizza is prepackaged before entering Godfather's pizza, so it is made without cross-contamination and then shipped to the store all packaged and ready to bake. :) I'm sad they don't do that at every Godfathers's. I may need to call the company.

I don't believe I have a Jim's pizza here in Minnesota.

Godfathers just started offering gluten free pizza earlier this year (April 2009). I live in Omaha, NE and we were the test market for the gluten free pizza, so it was offered here months before anywhere else. They started off by offering it just on Tuesdays and found out there was a pretty big demand for it (of course!!). So now they offer it 7 days a week and they increased the number of locations the offer it in Omaha from 1 to about 6 different places. They are also offering it in Lincoln, and I believe some of their other locations in other states. I think it is slowly branching out to the stores outside of Omaha.

Yes, they do make it in a different facility prior to delivering it to the pizza place, so no CC issues to worry about. You have two choices when you get these pizzas -- you can either have them bake it for you or you can take and bake. There are some locations that do not have a dedicated gluten free oven away from all the rest of the cooking area, so at these places, you can only take and bake. The other places have a separate room and oven for the gluten free pizzas. They slap a HUGE neon green sticker on the gluten free pizza boxes labeling them as gluten free and it has a disclaimer reminding employees to be cognizant of CC issues.

I've had Godfathers gluten free pizza about 30 times now and it's honestly not too bad. I have always LOVED godfathers pizza sauce, so it's nice to still be able to have it. Their pizzas are basically like having a thin crust pizza. It comes in a 10" size and they offer hamburger, combo, sausage, and pepperoni, I believe. (I'm not 100% sure about the combo though). I've had both the sausage and pepperoi and I've never been sick from their pizza.

I think that they are shipping the gluten free pizza to stores based upon the number of requests they get from those locations, so I'd just start writing into the company with suggestions to have them at a location closer to you. Even if they just provided the take and bake option, it would probably be nice!

Z Pizza has gluten free pizza, as well as Uno's. I, personally, am not a big fan of the Uno's pizza, but to each their own. It's worth a try. I do, however, LOVE Z Pizza's, if you happen to have one nearby.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
