    Pizza Hut and Coors Going Gluten-free in Time for Super Bowl Sunday

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 01/23/2015 - This Superbowl Sunday gluten-free fans can celebrate with gluten-free Pizza Hut pizza, and, in a few lucky test markets, gluten-free Coors beer.

    Photo: CC--Army RecruitingYou read right. First, Pizza Hut has announced that, starting Jan. 26, it will be debuting a gluten-free pizza in about 2,400 locations in the U.S. The new pizza will be a 10-inch, six-slice pizza, which will go for $9.99. The pizza crust will be made by popular gluten-free brand Udi’s Foods, and certified gluten-free by the Gluten Intolerance Group.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Pizza Hut’s gluten-free pie will be one of the restaurant’s lowest-calorie pizzas, with about 100 fewer calories per serving than their current “Skinny Slice” pizza. 

    Every Pizza Hut Gluten-Free Pizza will be baked fresh-to-order on parchment paper and delivered in a specially branded Udi’s Gluten-Free Pizza box. Also, all employees handling Pizza Hut’s Gluten-Free Pizza have been trained to wear gloves and use a designated gluten-free pizza cutter.

    If that’s not enough good news, beer-loving gluten-free football fans in Seattle and Portland will be able to chase their gluten-free Pizza Hut pizzas with Coors’ new gluten-free Peak Copper Lager, which will debut in those markets on Superbowl Sunday.

    Coors will gauge the response in its test markets as it looks to make Peak Copper Lager available in more U.S. markets.

    Gluten-free Pizza Hut pizza and gluten-free Coors beer on Superbowl Sunday? I’m going to call that a touchdown.

    Why don't you mention where these gluten-free products can be found, great to advertise but do I have to call every Pizza Hut across the country? What's the secret?

    Thanks Pizza Hut, can't wait to try it! However, Budweiser has a great gluten free beer - Redbridge! They just need to promote it better. It sure beats all the other gluten free beer want-a-be's including the cider beers, yuk! Try it!

    I don't know where, I just called 2 different Pizza Huts here in Miami and they don't know what gluten-free is.

    I am so super excited that Pizza Hut will start making a gluten free pizza. I hope it comes to my area Anderson, IN.

    Doubt it. The Fishers Pizza Hut doesn't have it. They didn't even know what I was talking about. I even mentioned the ad about the super bowl.

    Called our Pizza Hut. The manager said they had had no training and zero information passed down from corporate about ever getting any gluten free pizza.

    Good News. Most gluten-free pizza is pretty bad...cardboard tastes better. Red Bridge beer is really good -- I drink it two or three times a week. I will give Coors a try when it gets to my area.

    Excellent article and will be good news for all those just wanting to jump on the gluten-free band wagon. For those of us who are truly allergic, the product will not be gluten-free, I have run into that several times with other pizza places, ie Domino's etc. all product to go on the pizzas are usually kept next to the counter where they are in a covered container, but once opened during the process of making a regular pizza, the contamination happens quite quickly. Once again, I'm not complaining, but it isn't good news for the folks who truly have to eat gluten-free.

    If Udi's is behind it, it will be safe. I have celiac and would not be afraid to try it. Domino's, on the other hand is not safe because of cross contamination, I would never eat it.

    Looking for gluten-free Pizza give Mellow Mushroom a try. In most placed the pizza in made in a separate location and is cooked in a dedicated oven. They also carry Daura Beer. It's about the best gluten-free beer I have had. Been gluten-free now for over ten years.

    I spoke with the manager and ordered the gluten-free pizza with pepperoni to ensure that it would absolutely stay gluten-free. I also said they will need to change gloves etc. still ended up with my family getting sick from cross-contamination for who knows what. I would not recommend at all.

    Celiac.com 01/14/2010 - Most people with celiac disease will tell you that faithfully maintaining a gluten-free diet can be very challenging, especially for those who enjoy dining out or in the homes of friends.
    "Going to restaurants or dinner at a friend's house can pose dangers to a person with celiac disease," says said Dr. Ali Keshavarzian, vice chairman of medicine and gastroenterologist at Rush University Medical Center. "It can really impact a person's quality of life."
    For most people, maintaining a gluten-free diet will stop symptoms, heal existing intestinal damage, and prevent further damage, along with potentially preventing numerous associated conditions, such as diabetes. But setting up and sticking to a gluten-free diet can be a challenge.

    Being Young and Celiac
    Celiac.com 06/06/2012 - Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease caused by a reaction to the component of wheat, barley, and rye called gluten and can affect the entire body. Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a blistering and extremely itchy skin rash. It’s usually symmetrical in shape and is most commonly located on the elbows, knees, buttocks, and upper back. It’s common for people with DH to have rashes appear in the same spot, and they can either be consistent or come and go.
    It is hard enough being a young adult, having celiac disease is the icing on the cake, and having Dermatitis Herpetiformis is the cherry on top. So how is it that I have been able to so easily make the transition from eating gluten on a daily basis to being 100% gluten-free for over six years now? Simple: by get...

    Jamie's Italian Pays $12,000 Fine for Serving Regular Pasta To Customer With Celiac Disease
    Celiac.com 06/20/2013 - A restaurant owned by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has been fined over $12,000 after a customer with celiac disease was sickened by eating regular pasta, instead of gluten-free pasta she was supposed to receive.
    The fine resolves a complaint brought by 38-year-old Kristy Richardson, who dined in 2011 at Jamie's Italian in Porstmouth, U.K. Richardson suffers from celiac disease.
    According to reports in Open Original Shared Link, Richardson asked three different staff members to make sure she received gluten-free pasta, but she somehow received regular pasta. As a result, she became "violently ill," with nausea and vomiting that lasted for days and which left her weak for months, according to news reports.
    This in itself might be bad enough for most people...
