WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Because they want to make money off of abled hipsters and don’t care if they hurt disabled people in the process.
Or, more concisely, capitalism.

For those who don’t want to click through- it’s not some kind of problematic ingredient, it’s the fact that Papa John’s doesn’t want to make any changes to the way their kitchens are set up and go through the difficultly of ensuring the gluten-free pizza doesn’t get contaminated by the kitchen equipment.  So they can’t guarantee that your pizza won’t be contaminated, in fact it probably will be contaminated unless that specific location decides to set aside gluten-free kitchen space, which i don’t know if they are even allowed to do on their own.  probably not.

anyway, point still stands- they did the reasonably cheap part of the process and ignored the equally important, but way way more expensive part of the process, and now they will almost certainly reap the financial benefits from all the people who go ahead and order this pizza anyway.  some of whom will probably actually be celiacs and will get very very sick.  fuck you, papa johns.

Dominos Pizza is guilty of this exact same fucking thing. Here’s a GF pizza! But there is no mandate to make certain it remains uncontaminated. Our local place had a worker that would make certain to make EVERYTHING clean so the pizza wouldn’t get contaminated. His manager screamed at him to stop wasting time and he’d be fired if he kept doing it. The worker then delivered the pizza himself just to let me know it wouldn’t be safe to order it again.

Ugggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Sadly not even surprised that they apparently don’t care about ACTUALLY making the pizzas safe for people who need stuff to be gluten free to eat…

Just this past Friday I was eating dinner and saw a “gluten free” option with a note next to it specifying that the restaurant was not a gluten free environment.

I have trouble understanding what is even the point.

I think they genuinely don’t realise or care that food being gluten free isn’t just “Trendy” it’s a medical necessity for some people for the sake of their health

I had a patient the other day, in fucking anaphylaxis, because there was some wheat in his soup. His fucking soup, that he was guaranteed was gluten free, had gluten in it somewhere, and this poor dude nearly died. So think about that next time you roll your eyes at someone being ‘picky’ or ‘trendy’ 

What’s even worse with Domino’s is that here their cross-contamination procedures are accredited by Coeliac UK. I’ve had their pizzas multiple times now without getting sick, and by now I’m really sensitive to trace amounts. Have to say I was pretty nervous about trying it at all with all the ways that could go wrong, but now I don’t hesitate to order from our local Domino’s.

So, it’s really not that they couldn’t do better if they wanted to in the US. Any of them.

Papa John’s has made a gluten-free pizza that gluten-intolerant diners can’t eat
