Omaha, NE – March 23, 2009 – With the number of
Americans suffering from celiac disease exceeding three million, Godfather’s
Pizza, Inc. recognized the need for a line of gluten-free pizzas and set out to
create one. After several months in development, the pizza chain has announced its
new line of gluten-free pizza is now available at the following locations:
17935 Welch Plaza, Omaha, NE 68135
3141 North
108th Street, Omaha, NE 68164
5300 W 17th,
Topeka, KS 66604
12561
Antioch, Overland Park, KS
705 No 7, Hwy I-70, Blue Springs,
MO
27th and Division, St.
Cloud, MN 56301
850 W. County Rd #42, Burnsville,
MN 55337
5107 West 41st Street,
Sioux Falls, SD 57106
“At this point, there is no cure for celiac disease,” said Victoria Orman, R&D field project manager. “A gluten-free lifestyle is the only treatment. And now, Godfather’s Pizza can be part of that treatment.”
Safety comes first
Celiac disease, an autoimmune digestive disease, is triggered by the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. To minimize the risk of any cross-contamination, Godfather’s Pizza has its gluten-free pizzas made off-site and individually packaged.
In order to understand how to properly prepare and handle this product, the management team and employees at the locations listed above underwent special training. Separate utensils and bakeware also are used to ensure customers suffering from celiac disease receive a safe and delicious product.
Always committed to quality
For nearly four decades, Godfather’s Pizza has prided itself on serving delicious, abundantly-topped pizzas. The chain’s gluten-free pizzas are no exception. Each gluten-free pizza is piled high with Godfather’s Pizza’s signature sauce, fresh toppings, and 100% real cheese. The only difference is these pizzas are made using a thin rice flour crust.
Currently, the line of gluten-free pizzas includes
cheese, pepperoni, beef, sausage, Classic Combo and All-Meat Combo. The product
is available for dine-in, carry-out, delivery, and take-and-bake. The
gluten-free pizzas are only available in a 10-inch size and priced in line with
the restaurant’s other pizzas.
Informational flyers are available at the stores which contain a complete listing of ingredients and nutritional information on the gluten-free pizzas. For a complete listing of Godfather’s Pizza locations that carry gluten-free pizzas, please visit www.godfathers.com and click on Store Locator.
