I've recently found several pizza restaurants that carry gluten free pizza. The pizza ranges from decent to great. The problem is one restaurant I have recently encountered is CLUELESS when it comes to cross contamination. I saw their advertisement in our local newspaper and was excited to see that I could get a pizza. Here is a recent conversation I had while ordering a gluten free pizza:
Me: I understand you carry gluten free pizza
Restaurant: Yes, we do
Me: Do you make the dough in house?
Restaurant: No, we order it.
Me: Do you bake in a separate pan?
Restaurant: I don't know.
Me: Can you find out.
Restaurant: Sure . . . . . no, we don't have separate pans.
Me: How about boards, do you have separate boards that you put the gluten free pizzas on.
Restaurant: No
Me: So you put the gluten free dough on a board that has been floured and into an oven that is shared with regular pizza dough.
Restaurant: I guess so.
I was appalled to see that they had a huge sign in their window that said they now carry Gluten Free Pizza!
Thankfully, there are some restaurants that actually "get it" and I feel safe eating their pizza. This was not one.
Have you ever encountered a similar situation? Please share.
