GARLIC JIM'S GOURMET PIZZA THE FIRST PIZZA RESTAURANT ACCREDITED BY GLUTEN
FREE FOOD SERVICE

Seattle, WA - (June 9, 2009) - Summary: Garlic Jim's Gourmet Pizza has set
the standard for BEST PRACTICES for the pizza industry by meeting food
service standards established by the Gluten Free Food Service Program
(GFFS).  GFFS is the primer safety food service program, setting the highest
standards in every aspect of food service production to bring confidence to
gluten-free consumers. Gluten Free Food Service Accreditation is a program
of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America, known for the quality of
their programs and services to consumers and the food industry.

Garlic Jim's Gourmet Pizza is a concept restaurant designed by a few
gentlemen who were tired of having no good options for good pizza. They have
figured out how to make delicious gourmet pizza and at the same time provide
excellent and fast service to your door. Garlic Jim's also has tremendously
great gluten free gourmet pizzas. They have perfected the "science" of
"prompt pizza delivery" by learning and experimenting. The exciting twist to
this is GREAT PIZZA! Never again will you have to choose between great pizza
and great service. Garlic Jim's has answered the call for wonderful delivery
gluten free pizza. Though extensive work with the Gluten Intolerance Group
and the Gluten Free Food Service Accreditation Program, Garlic Jim's will
have wonderful success in feeding the gluten free consumers who have been
wishing for delivery pizza for so long!

Gluten Free Food Service Accreditation (GFFS) sets the standard for Best
Practices in gluten-free food production for all types of food service
operations. The process requires a business to meet six best practices that
include the review of all ingredients, recipes, preparation, storage,
service, training, and quality control policies and practices.  Each
location then goes through detailed on-site inspections. Garlic Jim's
Gourmet Pizza has put into place these standards and practices. Before a
location can serve gluten-free pizzas, they must meet these standards. GFFS
sets strict guidelines for all aspects of food service that could impact
safe gluten-free food production. Critical to the program is quality control
through internal and external audits. 

Garlic Jim's CEO, Dwayne Northrop states "I'm very excited that Garlic Jim's
Famous Gourmet Pizza is one of the first companies to be accredited by GIG's
Gluten Free Food Service Accreditation program.  Their accreditation
validates our commitment to the highest level of food safety for our
non-gluten customers. I'm also pleased with the strength of our on-going
relationship with GIG and appreciate their effective advice and support."
Over 60% of persons with celiac disease find dining out frightening and want
assurance their food is being prepared in ways that will not make them sick.
Nearly 25 million people in the US follow a gluten-free diet, for at least 3
million people it is their 'medicine' for good health. 

"Gluten Free Food Service Accreditation sets the industry standard for safe
gluten free food production in any type of food service. Garlic Jim's has a
strong commitment to doing gluten-free pizza right - with excellence and
quality" says Channon Quinn, Director of Industry Programs for the Gluten
Intolerance Group of North America.

A program of the Gluten Intolerance Group, GFFS provides an independent
service to oversee gluten-free food service according to a consistent,
defined and science-based standard that is confirmed by field inspections,
in order to achieve heightened consumer confidence and safety when dining
away from home. GFFS provides accreditation documentation for each
accredited location to proudly display as well as a manual of procedures and
protocol for staff to refer to in the case of any questions. GFFS also
provides training modules for the corporate training team to use in the
education of new employees.
