Blaze Pizza

Horrible experience. Had to yell “stop” as they were about to use same sauce and ladle on my crust - they then had to track down the GF sauce (?) and a new ladle. Used all the same toppings but did change gloves. I believe they used the same pizza cutter even though they said it was different when asked. Extremely sick for 2 days after. Even though they have a GF crust with supposed gf protocols, do not trust. Paying the price now and should have trusted my instinct.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was super helpful about making sure my pizza was gluten free. They carefully cleaned the prep area and prepared my pizza on a special mat so it did not touch the oven. Every employee was super kind and understanding. I never felt like a burden at all! Since it is a pizza shop, there is the possibility of cross-contamination with flour in the air. However, they took every possible step to minimize the risk!

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!
