Boston Pizza offers a dedicated gluten-free menu with dishes specially developed for the gluten free:

With every gluten-free order, a new, dedicated prep line is set up in the kitchen. This means that the area is sanitized, a complete set utensils are used and new ingredients / toppings are taken out of refrigeration. All ingredients have been vetted to be gluten-free and all gluten-free meals have been developed and constructed to be safe for celiacs. Chefs wash their hands before beginning preparations and they stay on the single task of preparing a meal from start to finish.

Boston Pizza uses All But Gluten Gluten-Free Buns for their Chicken Club Sandwich and Burgers.
