When building a pizza menu for allergic customers, precision, transparency, and vigilance are non-negotiable

Food allergies are not minor inconveniences—they can trigger fatal reactions, making even the smallest error potentially deadly

Begin by mapping out the top allergens commonly present in pizza components

Common culprits are milk, gluten-containing grains, eggs, soy derivatives, tree nuts, and seafood-based products

Even trace amounts of these can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals, so cross contact must be avoided at every stage

Start by reviewing every ingredient in your recipes

Beware of hidden allergens: tomato sauces may harbor butter or soy oil, and crusts might use egg or whey to improve structure

Cheese is a major allergen for many, so offering a dairy free cheese alternative made from nuts, coconut, or pea protein can make a big difference

Ensure your allergen-free alternatives are manufactured in dedicated, certified-free facilities to eliminate risk

Next, establish strict protocols to prevent cross contact

Dedicate distinct workstations, tools, and stone surfaces exclusively to allergen-free orders

Designate specific storage areas for allergen free ingredients and clearly label them

All team members must be thoroughly educated on allergy safety practices

All kitchen and front-of-house staff must be trained to prevent cross-contact, identify signs of anaphylaxis, and respond instantly with emergency protocols

Implement a mandatory, written checklist for vegas108 daftar each allergen-free order—including fresh gloves, sanitized surfaces, and ingredient confirmation

Clarity on the menu is not optional—it’s a lifeline for allergic guests

Avoid misleading labels—use exact terminology like “100% dairy-free,” “gluten-free crust,” and “nut-free preparation”

Be upfront: “This pizza can be made dairy-free or gluten-free upon request”

Say plainly: “Available without cheese, gluten-free crust, or nuts—just ask”

Avoid using phrases like “may contain” unless you are certain of the risk, and never assume a customer knows what’s in a dish

Create a standalone allergen-safe pizza option, prepared in a designated zone with its own oven and equipment

This not only reduces risk but also builds trust with customers

Make your allergen-safe pizza impossible to miss—feature it in banners, headers, and FAQ sections

Use sealed, labeled, dedicated bags or containers exclusively for allergen-free deliveries

Finally, encourage open communication with your customers

Train your staff to ask about allergies politely and without judgment

Always offer direct access to a manager or head chef for detailed allergy inquiries

Publish a detailed, downloadable allergen chart on your site and display it in-store

Food allergy accommodation isn’t a legal box to check—it’s an opportunity to serve everyone with dignity

When you prioritize safety and inclusion, you turn your pizzeria into a trusted haven for all diners
