Domino's not-so-gluten-free, pizza

So the internet has gone crazy on the issue of dominos GF pizza and I've decided to voice my opinion as well.

I HAVE to chime in... right?!

In case you haven't heard by now (you have to have been hiding under a rock), Dominos has announced a new gluten free pizza crust. Well, gluten free meaning, the initial ingredients of the crust are free of gluten. However, by the time it gets to your house, it is anything but free of gluten. There is NO separate kitchen area (meaning there is flour flying around everywhere), no separate utensils, counter spaces, ovens, ingredients... nothing. So yes, when they make a regular cheese pizza and throw too much cheese on it and toss some cheese back in the container, that cheese is contaminated with gluten that will soon be used on your "gluten free" pizza. The company has stated that the pizza is not intended for celiacs... so basically it is meant for those on the new "fad' Gf diet- wonderful.

Their main point behind the entire thing is that the pizza is good for those who are "mildy gluten-sensitive." Oh really? Then why are you calling this pizza "Gluten Free" and how exactly is that still OK for those who are gluten-sensitive?

So what's your opinion on the matter? Will you be ordering domino's "gf" pizza?

Much Love, 

Emily
