Anyone tried their gluten-free pizza?

Since no one has responded to your question, you might want to use the google search button on the top right hand corner of your screen for Mellow Mushroom. There have been quite a few posts on this subject. (I don't have any Mellow Mushroom restaurants where I live so have no experience with them).

Anyone tried their gluten-free pizza?

I haven't tried it yet, but I did read some reviews. They do have a dedicated kitchen area and dedicated kitchen tools to avoid CC, and employees are apparently trained, but these are franchises so the preparation may vary from place to place.

I haven't seen any reviews yet that mention CC or a gluten reaction after eating, but several reviews said the crust wasn't very tasty. And one review said that only the manager of the store was trained to make the gluten-free pizzas, and because he was so busy it took them over an hour to get their lunch.

i always go to mellow mushroom for gluten free pizza! i have been to several locations, and i have never had a problem with cross contamination or anything really. the crust is awesome, and actually crispy and doesnt fall apart. i would definitely recommend it!

While my daughter was in Raleigh she went to Mellow Mushroom a couple to times for pizza. One night I went with her and it was good! Her friends split a gluten-free pizza (one had no gluten issues but didn't want to buy a whole pizza) and she thought is was great!

I've been twice. Both times were yummy and both times no reaction. I do react to bad CC but certainly not super sensitive.

We first checked out their restaurant in Open Original Shared Link and have been to one in Open Original Shared Link three or four times (when we're in Indy we pretty much always go there).

Theirs may be my favorite gluten-free pizza. Talking to the staff I also get the impression that they take CC seriously. And compared to many other places that offer limited varieties but will "let" you "build your own" one overpriced topping at a time, they offer a reasonable selection of "specials."

There was some gluten in my pizza at the Mt Pleasant, SC location. I don't know if it was CC or if the toppings were CC? I had an all meats pizza, was that a bad idea? Pepperoni maybe?

Pepperoni is highly unlikely to have gluten.

I ate there in Durham, NC 2 years ago and didn't like it. I don't like bean flours at all, and they use bean flours in their crust. I felt safe eating there in terms of knowledgeable servers and cross-contamination issues, but I just can't past that bean flour taste.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms. Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming...

I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
