I agree. A lot of people don't have allergies to them, but just don't LIKE almonds. But still, even if the server didn't realize that you were allergic, she should have said something along the lines of, "The crust has almonds in it. Is that okay?" And then you would have been informed and could have chosen something else. And nothing excuses her behavior after finding out, and the manager's behavior as well. I hope you're feeling all right. Definitely try to make them pay the ER bill. If they refuse, threaten to sue. Unfortunately, I think a defense attorney would be able to point out that you didn't specify that you had an allergy (if in fact you didn't).
Oh, and that manager's comment is ridiculous. I thought it was pretty common knowledge that exposure to any of it at all is enough to cause a reaction for someone who is allergic. What an idiot.
