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.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. 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:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
