Blaze Pizza

They have a gluten free crust available but they cook all pizzas in the same brick oven. Definite chance for cross contamination. If you have celiac disease I definitely would not recommend.

Celiac friendly?

No

They are very accommodating, the location in Frandor is the only location we’ve gone to. The have GF crust and get fresh toppings not on the line if you explain. We have only had a few people act annoyed with special requests. But most everyone is very careful and helpful. My daughter has celiac and has never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When I went, there was flour all over the place. It was on the counters, the cash register, everywhere!

They have gf crust in the back, but when I ordered, she used the same gloves that touched all the floury counters to hold my pan.

I cancelled our orders. They are clueless.

The older dude who was firing pizzas was a jerk.

Celiac friendly?

No

I tried Blaze Pizza for the first time. Jon made my Gluten-Free pizza from start to finish. He used fresh pizza sauce and toppings that had not been on the line. He even went to the back for toppings that weren't readily stored below the line. He used clean utensils and freshly changed gloves. All gf pizzas are cooked in special liners so they don't touch the oven floor. The end of line staff knew to use a clean cutter to cut my pizza. It allowed my to enjoy a nice dinner out with family. After our meal, I made sure to thank Jon personally. He stated his daughter has Celiac and understood how carefully food needs to be prepared.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have been to Blaze restaurants that use precautions in preparing GF pizzas. This isn’t one of them. We ordered 2 GF pizzas for my daughter and I, and the fellow (not his fault, obviously had no training) took two of the cooking discs out of a pile of flour from the regular station. He put our GF dough on top of the flour covered discs. We apologized for the inconvenience and left. Blaze is in general a terribly run franchise system. Very disappointing.

They have great gluten free crust. It’s especially good if you ask for it well done as it helps get it more crispy. They are pretty good at changing gloves and asking if it is an allergy.

This location had been good in the past and made sure to take precautions including getting fresh toppings but not so great the past year. I’ve tried multiple times to go back and every time over the past year, I have walked out without ordering as they make me extremely uncomfortable. Every time I go they have a change in staff. When I ask about celiac friendly, they advise they change their gloves, have a gf dough, and have a separate “allergy” sauce, but they WILL NOT use separate toppings. So therefore you will be glutened. When I’ve inquired but getting fresh toppings they have advised they can’t do that. If you try this place be TAKE CAUTION.

They offer a Gluten free option but sadly there's a high risk of cross contamination. There are very few employees that care enough to acknowledge your celiac concerns and use ingredients separate from the front counter. I've been to this location twice and the 2nd time was the awful experience that made me stop going.

Excellent pizza! I had the regular GF crust and it was quite tasty. I also have to give them credit for switching out the crust twice when they pulled them out and they had small rips in the bottom. They said it was already fragile, so they wanted a good one. Excellent customer service!
