Review of Blaze Pizza

When I dined here, they had 3 GF options for crust. The server recommended the GF Keto crust. I opted for this. They put these metal number on your food, but they aren’t sanitized. The server picked a couple up and found they had cheese or other goop on them before placing a clean looking number with my crust (on a red silicone mat to indicate GF). He asked if I wanted a glove change, which I replied yes. The first thing they did after that was ladle sauce on the pizza. However, they used the same ladle on a pizza before mine that was not gluten free. This wouldn’t matter if not for the fact that in ladling the sauce they make direct contact with the dough and spread the sauce around before placing in back into the sauce bucket. They then used gloves to pick up cheese etc, to put on pizza. The metal number then went directly on top of the pizza (which probably wasn’t sanitized and had been on other pizzas based on what I saw when we first ordered). After the pizza was fired, it was cut with the same pizza-cutter that other pizzas were.

So regardless of the marked tray for your pizza and change of gloves, I can say cross-contamination was not taken seriously at all. The menu items are labeled GF but are more rightfully Gluten-sensitive. This place is not celiac friendly.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all
