Blaze Pizza

I've been there twice, first time was amazing, they kept everything separate, asked if I needed gloves changed, all the standard stuff when you've got a celiac in your building. My second time today was a little more lax, and me, being naive and with my guard down, didn't pay as much attention, but the warning signs were all there that I should have been more careful. There was a new guy who really wasn't paying attention, kept trying to do stuff with my pizza and not respecting the GF crust. Well I still ate it, felt pretty foggy shortly after starting and knew something was off. I took the rest home and tested it in my Nima Gluten tester and it turned up positive for gluten. I'm really disappointed because they are great tasty pizza, but 50/50 chance of getting gluten is not a good time. It's a great place, you just gotta watch them like a hawk and remember there is flour flying all over the place. I'd call it gluten sensitive safe, not celiac safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

Pizza is good but the restaurant was dirty. We went for lunch about 11:15.

Update to review 6/19 - place much cleaner this time and still good pizza!!

Offer GF crust, with several disclaimers. Talked to them and they said they do their best with xcontamination (note gluten allergy & they will take extra precautions).

GF crust is thin and crispy, just ok in my book but toppings were great so not too bad overall. Good value, service and nice vibe (staff was really cool). Nice to have options for quick fire pizza!

Tastes amazing but the safety is really dependent on the employee preparing your food. Some care and some don’t. It is a shared oven as well so never completely safe. They try (some of the time)

I’m gf intolerant and usually very sensitive to cross contamination, but I have gotten the gf pizza from here multiple times and have not had any issues. At times, the gf dough isn’t cooked right and the pizza ends up being bendy, but it does always taste good. There are multiple gf crust options: the normal cauliflower option and the vegan/gf option (which i normally get). Usually I order pickup so I don’t see people preparing so there may be times of minute cross contamination that I may not be sensitive to.

I love eating here! They offer gluten free crusts (vegan, and cauliflower). They also change their gloves to avoid cross-contamination.
