Domino’s Pizza

(Controversial) Multiple Locations

Domino’s has pizza with gluten free crust.

Monday, Domino’s, the world’s largest delivery pizza chain, will announce plans to sell a pizza made with a gluten-free crust.

That is the thrilling start to the article on usatoday.com  What follows is quite concerning:

“We are the first national pizza delivery chain to offer this,” boasts Domino’s CMO Russell Weiner, who notes that while the crust is certified gluten-free, the pizza is still prepared in ovens with pizzas that aren’t gluten-free, so folks who are extra-sensitive need to be aware. The gluten-free pizza costs about $3 more. Most gluten-free products typically do cost more to make.

From the Domino’s press release:

While Domino’s new Gluten Free Crust is appropriate for those with mild gluten sensitivity, Domino’s and the NFCA do not recommend it for those with celiac disease. Domino’s and the NFCA found that while the crust is certified as gluten free, current store operations at Domino’s cannot guarantee that each handcrafted pizza will be completely free from gluten.

So, the crust is certified GF, but cross-contamination is a real concern.  I think I’ll skip it.  How about you?  Have you tried it?  Share your experience by commenting below.

 

Lorenzo’s Pizza

Oberlin

From Lynn: Please post about Lorenzo’s Pizza in Oberlin. They serve medium size only gluten-free pizza. For a vegetable deluxe I paid $12.75 for a “to die for” pizza. I can’t remember when I’ve had such great tasting pizza. This pizza will rival even regular pizza. They serve regular pizza and Italian dishes. But I can guarantee, Lorenzo’s is the best gluten-free pizza in the land. I challenge anyone to try Lorenzo’s. http://www.lorenzospizza.com/ 52 1/2 South Main St Oberlin, OH 44074 (440) 775-0118 Have you tried Lorenzo’s?  Tell us what you think by commenting below.

Adrienne has shared her experience at this restaurant:

I had a wonderful GF pizza at this restaurant (a real treat!) and it was very good. They have been at this location for many years…. They do follow good practices against cross contamination and they wear gloves too.
We had a large pizza, and even my long suffering non-GF husband liked the thin and crispy crust. That pizza oven makes all the difference!
I did not ask about the pizza sauce, more like a marinara. Sauces don’t bother me as much as the pizza dough would. We also had onion and pepperoni toppings, both not a problem.
I think it was $17.00 for a large, not inexpensive, but it was at least 8 slices and very tasty. It just felt great to get out and eat a pizza with other people and feel ‘normal’. I know it has been at least 4 1/2- 5 years for me!!!
The owner was very accommodating and appreciative and very willing to share his knowledge, but of course I knew a great deal more!!!
He and his wife have had many requests over the years, so he found a distributor and got to work on it. He says he maintains sterile practices, and I asked about it, too. I also had no GI issues, which was fine with me!!!
I really hope he can draw GF people to the restaurant….I will definitely go again. It’s a small family run place and very homey.

NOTE: GF pizza crust comes in wrapped frozen from a GF company.
Per telephone, they said toppings were in separate bins, and separate pans were used. 4 piece & 8 piece size.
GF menu may be coming soon
