Is Frozen Pizza Gluten-Free?

Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, rye and barley grains, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation.

Pizza crust made of wheat-based dough contains gluten, which means it can't be eaten on a gluten-free diet. There's no one way to make pizza but usually, any pie with a traditional crust will be unsafe for those with gluten sensitivity or intolerance.

While ordering pizza at a restaurant can be on the riskier side (more on that below), there's probably a safe option in your grocery store, whether you're craving a meaty or veggie-based pie.

What to Look for in Gluten-Free Frozen Pizza

Especially in restaurants, cross-contact is a big risk worth considering. Cross-contamination occurs when gluten ingredients come in contact with other foods either during preparation or manufacturing.

You can protect yourself from potential cross-contamination by checking the packaging and reading the nutrition label on your frozen pizza.

First, check the ingredient label and allergen listing for any wheat, rye or barley-based foods. Then, look for a "gluten-free" label on the product. This label is regulated by the Food & Drug Administration and signifies that the food you're eating is less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is generally safe for even gluten-intolerant or gluten-sensitive individuals to eat.

If you want even more security, buy foods that are Certified Gluten-Free by trusted third parties including the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO). The GFCO has especially strict standards, certifying foods with only 10 ppm of gluten or less, according to the organization's website.
