Costco - SAFE
Totino's Party Pizza (cheese) - safe
Little Caesar's - safe
Domino's - NOT SAFE if the ovens have been used for any "gourmet" items (like sandwiches) because they cant say the ingredients they used are safe (e.g. sauce, bread)
Uno's Pizzeria, 29 E. Ohio - UNSAFE BUT CAN MICROWAVE UP WHAT WE BRING, no nuts on menu, but desserts are made in facilities that handle peanuts and tree nuts and they have a small kitchen. Choc chip cookies are baked in the pizza oven. They can microwave a pizza we bring but cannot bake it in a sealed foil packet.
Pizzeria Due, 619 N Wabash, - UNSAFE BUT CAN BAKE WHAT WE BRING FOR $7 (price of the individual cheese pizza), no nuts on menu but desserts are made in facilities that handle peanuts and tree nuts. Choc chip cookies aer baked in the pizza oven. They can bake our pizza in sealed foil packet but will charge us as if we bought their personal cheese pizza.
Malnati's, 1120 North State Street - SAFE! Separate pizza and food line. No nuts on menu. YEA!
my own tips to get through life, and a catalogue of manufacturer responses to the question, "are your products safe for someone who needs to avoid cross-contamination by peanut and tree nut dust?"
DISCLAIMER: It is crucial to read all food labels, EACH time you buy a product to double check the ingredients and disclosures –– manufacturers have been known to change recipes, sourced ingredients, processing facilities, handling/packaging procedures, etc. without warning. Never re-post anything from this blog without this disclaimer!

Brown's Chicken - NOT SAFE
My son was invited to a party where Brown's Chicken was the menu. Well, a call to Brown's Chicken hq was transferred several times and I had to conclude that they dont get this inquiry often, and that they don't really know who knows about their allergy practices. Finally, a customer service rep said that they cannot speak to allergy safety at all because their vendors are ever changing and they cannot represent their vendors' practices or ingredients. So we'll just skip all food from Brown's.

Eating Ice Cream Out
I found these great tupperware-like individual "cupcake" holders at Crate & Barrel. I use them to carry ice cream cones (the light colored cake ones, which I have separately verified are safe) in our backpack. I always carry 2, in case 1 gets broken. I also always carry a disposable cup and spoon of our own. When we go to a soft serve store, I only get vanilla, and I ask what flavors have preceded the vanilla in the spout, to assure that the equipment has been through multiple cleanings before this vanilla was put in. Then, we get softserve in our own cake cone or in our own cup/spoon, and get outta that store!

Williams Sonoma - not safe
They use a blanket "may contain..." statement because they dont know what their manufacturers' practices are. Their products are rebranded.
