Domino's Gluten-Free Pizza...is it safe for celiacs?

Eat this pizza at your own risk. It was created for people with "mild gluten intolerance" – in other words, NOT most people with celiac disease.

The following statement is a direct quote from Domino's website:
(GF base available) = Recommended toppings to accompany gluten free base (Whilst Domino's Pizza takes due care preparing their pizzas, due to not being an exclusive gluten free environment, it cannot be guaranteed that these pizzas will be 100% free from gluten).
I can only speak for myself, but I won't eat anything that has a risk of contamination – that isn't prepared in a dedicated kitchen area or cooked in a dedicated oven. Just because the base is GF, it doesn't mean that it won't be exposed to or contaminated with gluten in the kitchen or oven. Even their nutritional section of their website has a disclaimer. The "GF" pizza costs $12 for a 10-inch pepperoni pie, which has 170 calories (3.5 grams saturated fat / 410 milligrams of sodium).
