On two separate occasions I’ve ordered a gluten free pizza here and received a fully gluten pizza. First time I ate it without realizing and got so sick. Second time I realized. Would never eat here again.

Thin gluten free crust and very moist (to the point if being difficult to pick up!). I built my own pizza with red sauce dollops (a nice spiciness), plant-based chorizo and cheese. Very tasty!

As someone with Celiac, I would say that it is risky to eat here. Nevertheless I did, and it was delicious, and I didn't get sick. Staff seem knowledgeable about contamination issues and try their best to minimize the risk. They change their gloves and clean the pizza dough roller prior to rolling out the gluten free dough. They also have a few choices of dough including a keto dough. They also keep the pizza on other own silicone-like mat, so that in the oven it doesn't come in contact with what the other pizzas rest on. If you have celiac, I would say use your best judgement, I'm pretty sensitive but had no issues here.

Long wait at lunch. Otherwise pizza crust was thin and crispy. Yummy. They make an effort to reduce contamination by changing gloves, cooking the pizza on it's own sheet, using separate tomato sauce, and using separate pizza cutters.

Staff switches out gloves before preparing the gluten free pizza and uses dedicated appliance for the dough.

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!
