Custom Ordering Pizza At Uno's?


Maltiriel

Recommended Posts

Maltiriel Rookie

Maybe a month ago I had a gluten free pizza at Uno's. While I was there, I asked about customizing the pizzas (like adding toppings) and was told that they make the gluten-free pizzas the night before to avoid cross contamination, so if I wanted to have different toppings I'd have to call a day ahead and they'd make my custom pizza that night so I could have it the next day. Anyway I thought that sounded like a good deal (I REALLY want to try their fig and goat cheese pizza, if the toppings are also gluten-free), so last night I called and tried to order a custom pizza for today. The woman who answered the phone was confused about it and did go off and consult with someone, but when she got back to me she said I couldn't order that specific pizza. I asked what I could get then (I assumed some of the toppings for that particular pizza must not be gluten-free), and she just recited their standard three gluten-free pizzas.

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has successfully ordered a custom pizza at Uno's. I think the person I talked with originally was the manager, so I'm wondering if I ought to call back and ask to speak to a manager next time. I don't think there was any way I could have misunderstood... Certainly my entire party of 4 was under the impression that I should be able to do this call ahead thing. If anybody has any experience with this I'd really appreciate the info.

It's been about a year since I asked since I can no longer have dairy and soy (found out the crusts have soy flour) but I was told their pizzas come pre-made and they just bake either a cheese or pepperoni one. This info may have changed or the person I talked to might not have known either. There's a big risk of cc however if they were to use the same toppings they are using for the regular pizzas on your gluten-free pizza.

The Uno's near me in White Plains, NY lets me customize to an extent. To be honest, I only have ever had them add grilled chicken to the top of a regular pizza.

I had gluten-free veggie pizza at Uno's in Union Station (Wash. DC) last week and it was execellent. No issues and a lot tastier than plain cheese.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption
