The worst ghost kitchen I've seen is for an exclusively gluten-free pizza place in Seattle. That's an appealing prospect if you have a serious celiac case and you can't eat food that's made in a typical pizza place where flour gets everywhere in the process. I looked up the address and it's actually a typical pasta and pizza Italian place with gluten in most items.

  Yes, a lot of gluten free is just hype. But I have friends that may die if they get gluten. Celiac is not a joke and can kill.

    Then they should just give up takeout?

      That’s true, if I suffered something that difficult I wouldn’t gamble with takeout. You know how many dishes contain traces of grains?….

        At all? Or from a professional kitchen advertising gluten free dishes and taking their production seriously because they know it can cause debilitating pain for coeliacs?

      I have Celiac. If I buy something from the super market tagged as "gluten free" I shouldn't have to gamble thinking that whoever's in charge of the packaging though about selling this to fad-chasers. So I decided to instead purchase gluten free products that are actually certified gluten free. That way if I actually get my Celiac acting up I'll have a case to make. But the idea that one should give up purchasing stuff from super market altogether just because there are companies out there who don't really care about stating the truth about their product is ludicrous. Same goes with takeout. If you advertise your pizza to be "gluten-free" like Dominos used to do with a specific pizza in Australia, I expect to at least find some small letters at the bottom saying something similar to "not really gluten free".

        I cannot understand how blatantly lying to your customers can be made acceptable if it has fine print. "Gluten free* pizza! (terms and conditions may apply)" is just that: a lie for which there should be some legal/regulatory consequences.

That should be downright illegal.

Try Mod Pizza, in Seattle. Great price, unlimited toppings, they do not offer exclusively gluten free but they have the option and IMO they are very accurate. - no issues yet. I would order from their website over the doordash app, but if the promo works for pickup, it probably would be cheaper. I was for a while ordering them on Doordash for $6 picked up w/ unlimited toppings, and $3 of that was for the gluten free option.
