Funny story associated with this. DH and I went back last Friday night. I was hoping to stuff myself with more pepperoni. The following conversation happened with the cashier:

Me: Hi! I'd like to put in an order for dine-in.
Her: OK, what would you like?
Me: One gluten free pizza with pepperoni.
Her: OK....
DH: And one regular personal pizza with cheese.
Her: OK, I think I got it. Gluten is the size, right?
Me: ....what?
Her: Gluten is the size of the pizza?
Me: ....um, no. It's a specialty pizza you guys make. It should be its own button on your screen.
Her: Um yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about. Lemme go get somebody else.

....several workers later...

Her: Sorry, we only serve that on Tuesday nights.
Me: *sadface*

Yeah. It's kinda hard to work intolerances into my schedule. But I manage, somehow.

You'll probably have to call them directly and ask. Remember, not all the Godfathers carry them. Only the ones still owned by corporate.

Several updates!

1) The Godfathers near me now carries GF pizza. I no longer have to drive 30-40 minutes to get yummy 'za. So come visit! We'll feast on pizza and Chex.

2) This location is individually owned (not corporate). Not sure if this means all Godfathers will be carrying GF, or if they're going to leave it up to the owner.

3) Bad news: the pizzas now arrive at the restaurant frozen. They're no longer made fresh on the spot. Good news: they're made in a dedicated GF factory, and they still ride through the oven on a fresh aluminum tin to avoid CC. You can buy them frozen and take them home to freeze/bake. I'm personally happy they're making them in a factory. It eliminates all the problems associated with making them on the spot (having trained pizza makers, keeping the spot free of CC, etc).

4) Mass producing them has also dropped the price. It's around $8-9 (down from $10) for a personal 10" pizza. Available toppings are cheese, pepperoni, beef, or "combo".

That product doesn't seem to have made it out here. I tried their online store locator, and even if I ask for stores within a 200 mile radius (that puts me into ARIZONA! Shocked

) they don't offer gluten-free.

Sigh Crying or Very sad
