Blaze Pizza

Love the food here so much! Love that they have a gluten free crust as well as vegan cheese. Please do be aware of cross contamination though. They might be able to accommodate changing gloves and doing it in another area but not sure. I have not asked. After I eat here though every time I do have a bit of stomach issues, but i’m not sure if thats my gluten intolerance or my acid reflux from the tomatoes. So if you’re sensitive to cross contamination it’s possible you might have issues.

10/10 experience. Did not get sick. They used different utensils along with a GF dedicated sauce for allergies. When they put it in the oven it was on a pan so it did not touch where the other pizzas had been. Best GF experience by far and they were about to close!

Great variety of options for gluten free, but there is TONS of cross contamination. When I specified I wanted gluten free cauliflower crust, they asked me if I had an allergy, and I said yes. They then proceeded to scoop pizza sauce out of the same container they use for everyone and spread it across the pizza with the scoop, then put the scoop back in. 0/10 for safety, but it’s good quality pizza so I’m giving it 3 stars. In terms of what to order, the cauliflower GF crust is WAY better than the other GF crust offering! They also cater to other allergies than just celiac. Lots of vegan, dairy free, and keto options.

My favorite place to eat in Tuscaloosa! I’ve never gotten sick and they always use separate utensils when I tell them its for an allergy.

AMAZING!!! Told them I have an allergy to gluten and they were awesome! One person took care of my pizza and they changed gloves. Then they used clean spoons and a new container of sauce for my pizza. They also placed the pizza on a separate pan so it would not come in contact with the surface that the other pizzas had been on. Amazing pizza and did not get sick!!

The staff was very knowledgeable. Put sauce on pizza from a separate container. Placed pizza in grill on a pad to prevent cross contamination. Very good pizza! Keto and cauliflower crust are gluten free along with traditional gluten free crust option.

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!
