Domino's Gluten Free Pizza: Is it safe for Celiacs?


Domino's Pizza is one of the most popular carry-out pizza chains here in the United States. Unlike its competitor, Pizza Hut, Domino's does offer a gluten free pizza here in America. While I have known this for quite some time, I have not researched whether or not it is safe for my fellow Celiacs. Until now.

While their website states that their pizza is gluten free, it does warn that the pizza base is made in a kitchen that is exposed to gluten. Domino's Pizza does NOT recommend this pizza for those of us with Celiac disease. Even those whom have mild gluten sensitivity should exercise caution while dining at Domino's Pizza.

I read that they have been in contact with the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), in attempt to better understand Celiac disease and gluten free food. Even though my disease prevents me from eating at Domino's, I applaud them for reaching out to the NFCA in order to understand Celiac disease. It shows that they are a caring place that exercises good judgement.

Domino's Pizza, I thank you for being open and honest with the Celiac community. I am touched that you would take the time to understand our disease.
