Hi, it's luci.  I couldn't seem to log in again after my computer got "updated". 

Anyway, my child is anaphylactic to peanut, cashew, pistachio, walnut, and cephalosporins.  Also there are environmental allergies such as mite, trees, grasses, molds, cat, but those do not trigger anaphylaxis, although the mold last summer triggered an asthma flare.

My daughter had hives after eating Papa John's pizza. No idea if that was the cause, but we've avoided it since then.

I thought it was the same thing they sold in the coolers at the back of the warehouse but they said they make it in that concession area and put the dough, cheese, sauce, and toppings on right there.  So we tried it and it was a big hit and we didn't have any reactions - unlike our last experiences with Papa Murphy and Pizza Hut where we had rashes around the mouth and a very mild stomach upset.

Yeah, Pizza Hut pizza isn't safe for nuts. For whatever reason the chicken and pizza sauce have a chance of contamination.

I've been feeding my daughter papa johns but she won't eat the sauce or cheese. Just the pepperoni and the crust. The allergen info hasn't been updated since 2010 though.

Luci, what all is your child allergic to?

Recently tried pizza from the Costco Deli. I was afraid to buy the take and bake pizza from Costco.  But was having a "pizza emergency" and bought a hot slice of pizza for myself.  It was so delicious (although I don't usually love pizza), that I was tempted to bring my son with pn/tn allergies to try it.  I talked to the kitchen staff and they said they didn't have pn/tn in the kitchen as raw ingredients.  There is an ice cream on a stick they sell there but it comes prepackaged and contained in individually sealed  wrappers.

I thought it was the same thing they sold in the coolers at the back of the warehouse but they said they make it in that concession area and put the dough, cheese, sauce, and toppings on right there.  So we tried it and it was a big hit and we didn't have any reactions - unlike our last experiences with Papa Murphy and Pizza Hut where we had rashes around the mouth and a very mild stomach upset.

We eat at local places and also have had luck at Papa Ginos.  Anyone else have luck with them?  Our local place has special procedures to make dairy-free pizza in the back.  Very nice there.  I have had luck with 3 others pizza places that are not big chains.  I think Not Your Average Joes in Ma also makes pizza and they are very allergy-friendly. 

We pretty much stick with local (soy, egg, shellfish and nut allergies here), and we're pretty restricted there, as well.  There is only ONE place in town that we can all eat at safely on a consistent basis, (plus Papa Murphy's, last I checked, but we don't do that often because it is SO DANG SALTY...).

DH (soy) can eat at a lot of the local chains, but none of the national ones, but most of the local places also have a thai sauce or shrimp on the menu, which is highly risky for DD and I.

I eat Dominos, Little Ceaser, and some local places. I like the local places better.

The sauce for Pizza Hut has a warning for shellfish. Oddly.  Yet I have had three reactions to it and no longer eat PIzza Hut pizza. My PA DS eats it fine. 

Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. For a while the red sauce was a may contain for either peanuts or tree nuts. Then it wasn't. I can't keep it straight and for now, we aren't going to pizza hut. There are other unsafe things on their menu. Here's the current one and it looks like the pizza sauce is a may contain for tree nuts again and lots of other may contains for peanuts (and tree nuts):

eta: sorry-had the window open for too long doing other things and took me forever to post the same thing as the pp.

Here's the pizza hut allergy information...

Based on their chart, we do not eat Pizza Hut

Is Pizza Hut safe? My kids like it the best, but my oldest was recently diagnosed with a peanut and tree nut allergy.

We ordered Domino's, but once it got here, I saw how unbelievably GREASY and nasty it looked and passed. lol.


I can only think of 1 local place that sells pizza, maybe two, but they both make shrimp/fish stuff so that's out because the thought or SMELL of fish makes me sick.

I stick to Totino's pizza.. haha..

Most recent LC discussion
Little Ceasars Pizza and Crazy Bread

ETA: For some reason another subject was named but it went to the LC discussion when clicked.  Odd.

We trust Domino's, Cici's and Chuck E Cheese's. I've also heard that Little Caesar's is safe.

Little Caesars reads safe, they assure us it's safe and we have had no issues with it.

BUT others have posted on this board and it's many incarnations that they have had issues with Little Caesar's specifically.  And they have never received a concrete answer.  One or two random issues and I might think stomach bug or something else going on.  But there was a parent who said their child reacted several times to LC's, to the point she thought her child was developing another allergy since LC's was so clear that it was safe.  Methinks there is something funny going on, kwim?

It stinks because I pay over $10 now for one GF pizza (not including additional toppings) that is roughly the size of a Totino's (not vetting Totino's safety, just size comparison) and LC was a great option for 1-2 pizzas for the rest of us.
