Blaze Pizza

The staff was annoyed, but changed their gloves and used a different pan. I got sick because they used the same toppings and pizza cutter!!!! I will not go back!!

Blaze Pizza can accommodate gluten-free dietary needs. The dough is kept on a red/Black mat throughout the process. There is a dedicated gluten-free marinara sauce and pizza cutter. All of the meats and cheeses are gluten free except for the meatballs. There is also a dedicated gluten-free pizza cutter. Blaze offers build your own but they now charge for the GF dough. Their lemonade is also fantastic. There have been times though where I have to monitor the entire process to ensure there is no cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got sick after going here. I have Celiacs. They change gloves and switch out the pans, but all the toppings are inevitably cross-contaminated since they don’t use spoons or tongs. It is not safe for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

I'm intolerant of dairy and wheat, but don't have celiac. I've never had problems at Blaze! I also love that they have both goat cheese and vegan cheese for pizzas.

Do not go here if you have celiac disease. They were not careful in cooking my pizza. They said they would bake it on a matt but forgot. They cut all pizzas with the same pizza cutters. Not a place for celiacs!!! Beware!!!

May of 2017, was my first experience with Blaze Pizza. My son goes to college in Des Moines and had told us about the great service and gluten friendly atmosphere at Blaze. When we went down to help move him home for the summer, we went there for lunch and I can't say enough about the quality food and service. They took great care to make sure that I had no cross-contamination of gluten. We will definitely go there again and I only wish there were one closer to our home

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!
