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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
