I have not eaten wheat gluten for a couple years and I don't want to start. It causes my feet to swell up and it makes me look like I have club feet. Does anyone know if pizza crust has wheat (gluten) in it?

Hi. Yes it does. I hate to sound ugly, but sweetie, if you have not eaten gluten for a couple of years you should REALLY know by now what has it and what doesnt!! I mean Im REALLY not trying to be mean, PLEASE email me and I can help you with finding GF foods and learning all the alternative names for gluten. Have youa ctually been tested for Celiac? Why do you not eat gluten? You may have other problems besides gluten intolerance and might want to see a doc. (the swelling sometimes associated wtih celiac is not usually concentrated in one area such as the feet.)
If you want a yummy GF pizza, Glutino has an AWESOME one, called Spinach and Feta. Also Whole Foods market has their own line of GF stuff that includes a pizza crust. Kinninnick pizza crst is also very good.
Please go to www.celiac.com and search "Forbidden Foods" you will find a comprehensive list of all things gluten (there are TONS Of alternative names for gluten.)
Just for future reference, Almost EVERY SINGLE MASS MANUFACTURERED bread, bread product, pasta, or dough is NOT GLUTEN FREE. YOu have to specifically look for GF flours and doughs and read ingredients.
PLEASE feel free to email if you need further help.

commercially available pizzas are almost exclusively made with wheat flour or a mixture of wheat flour and another flour. You can however buy wheat/ gluten free pizza bases in the free from range from most supermarkets. there are also juvela and glutafin product which are available ( and prescribable if your GP is so inclined ). or pizza bases are really easy to make yourself just water oil yeast and any gluten free flour.

Yes it does. Amy's(frozen) and a couple of other companies make Gluten Free Pizza Crusts & there are some mixes on the market.
I have a major allergy to gluten too.

If the crust is made from wheat flour, like most pizza, then yes. See my source for gluten free foods and recipes.

yes, unless you specifically know it was made from gluten free flour which would always be mentioned by the pizza making place as it is typically more expensive and also of little point in keeping quiet from the purchasing pizza\eater.
I had a quick look on the internet there are loads of recipes of course to make it your self and a few mail order places to buy made bases and pizzas so you certainly should be able to have one when you want one

yes, most pizza at restaurants is wheat. However, Amy's makes a rice flour based pizza which is available at most health food stores and some regular grocery stores. You could also make your own by subsitituing rice flour in for wheat.

Most of them do but Amy's Kitchen makes a very tasty gluten-free vegan pizza.

It usually does. You will need to read the ingredients on a packaged wheat crust, but you have no such option when ordering out. best bet, stay away from it.

Most pizza dough is made from wheat flour.. So I suppose the answer would be yes.
