Wow, I say good for them!

Not that it makes eating a pizza any healthier (or Paleo for that matter, lol), but for people who are gluten sensivitve I'll bet they really crave a pizza every once in a while. Domino's has put a lot of effort over the last couple of years into improving their food and service. If this is successful, we'll start seeing other big chains offering up gluten-free items on their menu.

Plus, now Miley Cyrus has a place to eat! LOL

Not suitable for celiacs = not gluten free in my book. (but then maybe I'm just a whiny celiac)

I just had one today. I was on a shoot for a documentary and told them I was gluten free, and they got Dominos pizza. Thoughtfully a GF free meat one. I's oky for a treat, but normally I'm grain free.

I personally only have a mild gluten sensitivity, and am still annoyed that Domino's pizza isn't safe for celiacs or gluten allergies. Not because I want to eat it, because I'm a food snob and Dominos's is gross, but because it's so clearly a marketing ploy, how they're jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon to benefit their share holders, not their customers.

Not impressed.

Major corporations are trying to cash in on a section of the population that thinks gluten should be avoided, and I have to admit, that includes me.

I want them to try to get my money by offering foods that are less bad for me.

I follow dr. Harris' earlier suggestion that above all else, gluten should be avoided.

I occasionally have other things, but I am healthier now than I ever have been, and getting more muscular as I go. Do I still have a bit more bodyfat that I'd like? Sure! But it took me decades to build up too high, and I don't expect all of those decades of damage to resolve in under 6-7 years.

Why? I believe I read that it takes 6-7 years for complete cell turnover in the pancreas. Until, all new pancreas cells have been 'born' in the new environment that is me eating oa new way, they change is still undergoing.

(I need to go check the figures for complete cell turnover by major organ... Google, here I come!)

Avicel = wood cellulose pulp

Calcium Proponate is linked to headaches, irritability, restlessness, sleep disturbances

Um, yeah I think I'll pass.

Seriously people, how hard is it to eat real food that wasn't made in a factory??

Is it paleo? Not even close. Is it healthy? Nope.

Is this a positive thing? Yes!

Here's why: we do not want paleo/primal/ancestral/whole food eating to be inclusive. We want as many people exposed as possible. This is not some cool club, where only the informed get to be in the know. You have to start somewhere.

Not everyone is so committed to eating healthy. They want to, but they choose to focus their life on other things besides diet, like family, work, etc.

Having more options at fast food chains is great. Maybe this will be a door for many SAD eaters to start looking at their food differently.

I know for me, when I first starting eating healthy, it seemed a bit overwhelming. The longer I did it, the easier it became. When I look back now at the food I was eating... well, let's just say was not even close to being healthy. The point is that it's a learning process.

Yes! Now I can eat a healthy pizza!

As a strict GF person, I think this is a great thing. There are several local restaurants that are amazing in their understanding of GF and their service to their GF customers. There are others that are pretty (well-meaning but) clueless. Then there are the handful that really make it seem like you are a burden. Obviously I don't patronize the last group, but I could really use some help with the middle group. I'm lucky that MA requires all restaurants to have training in food allergies so at least they understand what the issue is, but when they see that Dominoes (or any other national chain) is promoting GF food, that's when the lightbulbs start going off "Oh, there must actually be profit in this. There must be a lot more people who eat GF than we realize. Maybe we should stat promoting a few GF menu items." You don't have to eat Dominoes to benefit from this.

I saw this earlier today when their app showed up with this update. I'll know this weekend how this tastes. :)

I was a little leery when I first heard about this but seeing the ingredient list, I think it's pretty cool! I would not be against ordering this sometime as a treat on a night I didn't feel like cooking. Though, I don't know about the quality of everything else that goes on there (cheese, meats, veggies, sauce). It is cool of them to list the ingredients for everything they serve on a PDF-->(here). The cheese has soybean oil in it and doesn't sound so great, but for a treat I might let it slide Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to order a grass-fed meatza to be delivered to me. :)

Is there really a need for an 'every now and then' paleo/primal food though? FFS eat quality whole foods and boom. Pizza, smizza. Mah......

I'm mildly impressed... because even though there's marketing and what-not involved, and the prospect of regaining profit lost from people who now eat gluten-free and have ditched pizza... I can't help but wonder about cross-contamination. If all of the dough is getting rolled out on the same slabs, and getting baked in the same ovens, etc... then is it really gluten-free?

But kudos to them for at least making an effort, which is more than I can say for a lot of other mainstream restaurants out there. Lol.

I'm excited about this for my kids. We eat pretty strict Paleo at home but they are allowed to make their own choices when at school or eating with friends. Having a better option as they grow up is fabulous. Think about all the times kids and kids' groups like school/church/scouts/sports teams/band etc. order a pizza as a treat for the kids. Now they can be more inclusive of the kids who eat a little differently and those kids don't have to feel as different. They can be part of the group. I am very encouraged by this and applaud Dominos for making an effort and doing the best they can at this time.

As a celiac I wouldn't never chance eating their "so called" GF pizza. Their disclaimer states that the pizza is not save for people with Celiac Disease. Good blog article about this subject here: http://www.spinningspoons.com/2012/05/why-gluten-free-pizza-at-dominos-does.html

I applaud Domino's for going the GF route. I don't care if it's now trendy - trendy can be a good thing when suddenly it's easier to eat with the rest of the general public!

The cynic in me says that Domino's is simply appealing to the same group of people who would have said f0ck1t and eaten a SAD pizza anyways. Now they can have an easier time justifying this junk :)

I applaud that they at least clearly state this pizza is not suitable for anyone with celiac, etc.

When the low-carb craze caught on in such a big way, corporations started noticing, and offering low-carb options on regular menus. This turned out to be helpful for lots of other people who weren't specifically on low-carb diets, paleo folks, for one, who could find meals of meat and veg, without starch/sugar, and without having to make nuisances of themselves (perhaps in social situations) asking for lots of substitutions, etc.

I wonder if gluten-free pizza, et al., will have a similar impact, in that it will at least introduce and mainstream the notion that wheat = bad (or problematic, at least) to a lot of people. And those people might demand more of the same--and done better--and maybe that will help us all. Kind of a "rising tide lifts all boats" thing, maybe?

I'm kind of retarded. When I must eat out with friends, I tend to get really friendly with the waiter/waitress and overreact about my reaction to gluten so that it's ABSOLUTELY clear. There's a lot of drama on my end, but I used to end up sick all the time when I'd just say "gluten free, please" so now I'm super nice, super dramatic, and hopefully they do their job when I go out. Because salads are just plain boring after eating out with celiac every week!
