Pizza Hut introducing gluten-free pizza

Pizza Hut is the latest pizza chain to come out with a gluten-free pizza, announcing this week it will introduce its gluten-free pizzas on Jan. 26.

The gluten-free pizza will be available in about 2,400 locations, which is only about 30 percent of all of its U.S. restaurants. But from the list they sent me, it looks like it will be widely available in the Jacksonville area.

Pizza Hut is using crusts from Udi's and has partnered with the Gluten Intolerance Group, which runs the most well-known gluten-free certification program, to ensure the best procedures for making their pizzas as safe as possible. The kitchens won't have separate preparation areas but from what I can tell, Pizza Hut is using all the proper procedures. It's probably as safe as the gluten-free pizzas from any other chain.

Pizza Hut is basically offering cheese-only and pepperoni pizzas gluten free. You can order other ingredients that may be gluten free, but the company won't certify those pizzas as gluten free. The cheese and pepperoni pizzas will be much safer bets.

The gluten-free pizzas are 10 inches and cut into six slices, with pricing starting at $9.99.
