The pizzeria where I work *does* offer a gluten-free crust but we have a disclaimer stating that we don't work in a gluten-free environment. The part about all of us being covered in a light layer of flour is absolutely true, and I honestly can't take anyone who claims to have gluten issues seriously if they decide to eat in our restaurant.
Ok as someone who has a friend that serious I will say it depends on the restaurant. My friend has non celiac (which is a fancy way of saying that their body could have one of several dozen conditions that mimics celiac but isn't and docs didn't want to do more testing) and he can eat gluten free pizza at certain pizza places. It depends on how they prepare it and how the keep the area and everything. At yours, obviously he couldn't eat there. At some places he can because they do keep everything clean and tidy enough for his pizza. He always does through research, but it's why some people will ask for gluten free. I'd like to also mention that the condition sometimes takes years to develop and there can be a learning curve on what to look for in safe preparation practices and people new to adjusting their diet for the condition will not always think to check beyond the gluten free part... quickly learning their lesson painfully afterwards.
