Me-N-Ed's Pizza Parlor - Burnaby

I made sure to inform the person taking my order that I have celiac disease and it was not a preference, but a medical necessity. When I picked up the pizzas, my gluten-free pizza was clearly labeled. However, when I got home and started eating, I found the crust to be underwhelming and not as good as other frozen gluten-free pizzas I have tried. Additionally, I discovered a black hair on one of my pizza slices, which was not appetizing. Despite this, I continued to eat the pizza as I had already started. The pizza overall was not the best I have ever had, and my child also commented that their cheese pizza was not particularly good. Despite this, we were able to eat and I didn't have to cook, so we went to bed. Unfortunately, a few hours later I woke up with severe stomach pains and spent the next two days dealing with nausea and other symptoms. It has now been four days since I ate at Me-n-Ed’s, and I am still feeling nauseous, achy, sluggish, and generally unwell. This level of gluten exposure is the worst I have experienced since being diagnosed with celiac disease eight years ago. I have been accidentally glutened before, but never to this extent. I am extremely disappointed and will not be returning to this restaurant.

I heard about Me-n-Ed for a while. I am hesitant to order pizza or pasta in a restaurant, unless it is 100% GF because of the high chance for CC, but I had previously emailed this place to ask about their protocols for GF, and they sounded as if they were super-knowing and had good procedures in place. I was told that they had a separate prep area, separate oven, and they made the GF pizza in the walkable cooler, so there is no flour in the air and they use fresh ingredients that had no floury hands and utensils in them. Sounds better than most places, so I was in the area on Saturday and ran late, so I ordered a GF Pfefferoni pizza for me and a regular pizza for my child. I was sure the person who took my order that I had celiac so that it was no preference, it was a medical need. When I picked up the pizza, my GF pizza was clearly marked. When I got the pizza home, I was hungry and tired. I was underwhelmed with the crust and felt like most frozen GF pizzas I tried were better than that. Then after a few very thin and small slices I have reached for another to find a black wire hair on it. It looked like a beard hair. Hair does me as much as some people, and I had caught it before it came in my mouth, so I wasn't impressed, but I didn't stop eating it. It was certainly not the best pizza I ever had and my child said that her cheese pizza was also not particularly good, but we were fed and I didn't have to make it that way to bed. Just a few hours later to be woken up with the worst stomach pain. I spent the next two days in the toilet and fought against nausea. It's now four days later and I'm still bad, my joints are achy, I'm sluggish and numb and head-hearing and usually feel uncomfortable and ashambly still. I'm full of gluten. I was diagnosed 8 years ago and I've never had gluten since. The worst thing I did was a bite of pasta from Olive Garden and immediately recognized it served me regular pasta. And I've been hit with CC before. But not a whole meal. I'm super disappointed and definitely won't eat here again.
