Blaze Pizza

I’ve never had any issues with this location and because of that I felt confident coming here on Pi day. As soon as I said gluten free crust they asked if it was an allergy and proceeded to write allergy in big bold letters and underline it. Then when it was time for them to start adding toppings to my pizza all the employees finished working on their current pizzas and changed gloves. They knew to use a different sauce and toppings without me having to ask. I think everyone in line behind me was a little confused as to why the line suddenly stopped for a minute but all the employees knew how to handle the situation perfectly.

I'm gluten free/dairy free because of IBS, so I'm not celiac... If I were celiac I probably would never eat out and I wouldn't risk it here even though they're careful. You have to really catch them and ask for a glove change and for new paper if they've already touched one for your order. Also, if you're dairy free and the worker seems new, make sure they use Dolipas(sp) sauce instead of marinara, same thing just separate from the cheese and less chance of cross contamination. That being said, I love the pizza here! The DF cheese melts! The toppings are great too and it is a all just great for the times I'm craving GF/DF pizza! Most places have gf crust but not vegan cheese dip in really happy that this place exists!

Pizza tastes great but there was a lot of cross contamination and I had a reaction. I’ve been to other locations that handled it all perfectly. This location just needs some training.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have gluten-free crust, and it's affordable. You can get a standard pizza, any topping you want on GF crust for around $11.00. It is a shared cooking environment, and a shared oven. The crust was okay, but there are other restaurants with better crust. Their crust was very thin and soggy. The crust wouldn't even hold the toppings on my pizza.They have horrible customer service. This was my first time eating at this restaurant (and location). I ordered online. I went inside to see the cashier, and when I walked in NONE of the employees greeted me or made eye contact. They was no acknowledgment that a customer even walked in. I then went to the online order section, and waited behind one woman. Another man came up from the right of me, from the Order Inside Line. When it was my turn, he then tried to cut in front of me. I said I was actually next in line. The cashier asked me 1 question, there was no other communication. When I signed me receipt she then turned to the man who tired to cut in front of me and apologized to him! She then cooked his pizza first, and I waited for another 5 minutes after mine was supposed to be ready. Not to mention, I am concerned about health department codes! When I opened the box, the pizza was sitting directly on top of my printed receipt from the restaurant! I have no idea how many hands touched that receipt, where it has been, or if the ink was even dry and she put my pizza directly on top of it!

Celiac friendly?

No

I really liked this place and felt safe. They put the dough on a mat so it’s not on the same surface as the gluten pizza when cooking it. They changed the gloves and made sure no one touched my pizza with gluten hands. They have a certain sauce just for gluten free pizza. They got ingredients from the bottom that weren’t touched and used a clean pizza cutter to cut my pizza. They didn’t seem to mind accommodating. I apologized for being complicated and they were just like it’s not that big of a deal.

Don’t eat here! I got such attitude on the gluten free ask. The girl was so put out that she didn’t even get the toppings from a clean container. I paid for the pizza and threw it out. I will never go there again!!

I like this restaurant, it provides gluten free pizza, which is very important to my family members, they are allergic to gluten. and it is not easy to find the true gluten free food such as Blaze Pizza

Went in and ordered a pepperoni pizza with gluten free crust. They asked if it was an allergy or preference. When I said allergy they did a glove change, offered to pull ingredients from the bottom, have a designated red sauce just for gluten free items, and we’re very kind and didn’t act like it was a bother to go through those extra steps. My husband who is not gluten free tried my pizza and said it is no different than his just a little thinner. I’ve ate here many times and will continue to come back!
