Godfather's Pizza

Hubby - I call him "Fang" - had a meeting last week where pizza was provided. To his surprise, Godfather's had a gluten-free pizza for him. The box had a seal to keep it shut, warning against contamination. He brought the leftovers home, so I tried it. It was pretty decent.

Then, this Sunday, they had a flyer and they advertised that they now offer gluten-free pizzas.

Opinions?

I don't think I'd trust it unless they prepare it in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

Just went to Godfathers website. It says the pizza is made & sealed at another location. It does not mention if it is cooked on a wire rack that other pizzas are cooked on or if they use the same cutter to cut it as they just used on a regular pizza. I sent them an email & will let you know if they respond.

Just received a reply from Godfathers. According to them: Pizzas are made in a safe place & wrapped & shipped to the shop. They bake them on fresh parchment paper on specified racks & cut with designated tools. They consulted with the Celiac Assoc. I'm excited.

That chain isn't near me, but there is one on the way to Vegas from here. Unfortunately, they don't carry the gluten-free pizza yet, but I think before my next trip out there I may call and request it. It'd be nice to have it at the halfway point. :)

Just check the website for Godfathers to see where they have gluten free - its not in every store. Also, when Godfathers gave me the info, they asked if you try the pizza, to let them know how it it: www.godfathers.com/gluten-freesurvey. The lady at Godfathers seemed to really want to make a good product so constructive criticism is good.

Per the Godfathers Pizza Website Store Locator there is not one single Godfathers Pizza in Florida that serves their Gluten-Free Pizza. BUMMER! :(

Our Godfathers Pizza doesn't have the gluten free either. But a friend just told me about Garlic Jims and I checked there website and they actually have a whole gluten free menu! I'm going to try it soon. Probably this weekend. I checked Florida, the only one they have with the gluten free menu is in Miami.

I tried the locator (I'm in Springfield, MO) and got the same result - no stores within 100 miles have gluten-free pizza. So I used the website "contact us" to ask if any would be coming, and got the following reply. The Nixa store is no more than 5 miles from my house!

Subject: looking for gluten-free pizza

We are currently working with the franchise location in Nixa so they

would be able to sell the gluten-free pizzas. They will be attending a

training class that will teach them how to keep the gluten-free pizzas

free from cross contamination. I anticipate them having gluten-free

pizzas at that location later in March.

Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions

about this product.

Sincerely,

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
