Delicious pizza. Changed gloves before handling my pizza. Used sauce that’s only for the gf dough and separate gf pan. Enjoyed pizza, no sickness.
They offer Gf crust but that’s about it. There was Gluten everywhere! Even with a glove change there is still traces of gluten in the cheese and all the toppings. They are supposed to cook the Gf pizza on a separate tray in the oven but our pizza was deliberately taken off the GF tray to finish cook the center. Unfortunately this is not an option for celiacs period.

Not good about cross contamination. Did not change gloves.
The staff was not knowledgeable. They almost gave me the wrong crust, thankfully one of them caught that they weren’t using the GF crust. The place was a mess , no following instructions. And they definitely got me sick. Maybe it was this location but I will not be testing another as they definitely got me sick
Went to Blaze last week. I made my own pizza, the server did change her gloves and I didn’t get sick. Thought the toppings were sparse, but it was good and I’d go back.
Major cross contamination! Both my daughter and I got sick after eating there last night. Super busy on a Friday night and everything looked like a mess. Food containers all had stuffed mixed in from other containers. Saw bacon that fell into veggies. Should have left, but was super hungry and took our chances. The previous time we were both fine, so I guess it depends on how busy they are.
Great food! The staff is awesome but their process needs improvement if they hope to be celiac friendly. They will do a glove change if asked, but the contamination issue comes with the plating process. At this point they do not change their gloves even if the pizza is marked as glove change needed. If you want to keep it celiac friendly make sure you give their plater a heads up or they wont pay attention.
If you're truly celiac DO NOT EAT HERE! All utensils that touch flour also touch their gluten free crust. When I mentioned this, the employee lost it and was angry when she was unknowledgeable...
Warning!!! If you have celiac disease or EoE do not go there. Cross contamination all over the place . They dont care enough about allergies.
Good pizza, but I learned from going there that they use the same press to shape and create the gluten free dough that they do to make the regular dough, without placing either one of the doughs in anything. Therefore, even though they place the dough on a silicon mat and use different cutters, before they put the dough on a silicon mat, they are placing it in the same location they place the regular dough. There is a ton of cross-contamination happening in this process, and therefore I have stopped going to Blaze. If you have celiac disease like I do, I strongly suggest you use caution when eating here, due to the extreme cross contamination happening in the process of the pizza dough being prepared.
Great pizza for the price. While they will change gloves and cook the GF pizza on a silicon mat, it's all for naught as they use the same ladle to put on and spread sauces on all the pizzas.
Great gluten free pizza. They will change gloves if you ask them. Pizza is cooked in same brick oven but over a silicone mat. They use different cutters to avoid cross contamination

I Ordered a pizza with gluten free crust. The woman asked if it was due to an allergy. I said yes. She called out we have an allergy pizza and proceeded to write down all the items I wanted on my pizza. The crust was then passed down to another worker. This worker had just touched a regular pizza crust and then proceeded to grab my crust and start adding stuff to it. The worker who took my order told her no that is wrong and that it is an allergy pizza. She looked at her and said with a condensing tone “What kind of allergy”? I spoke up and said gluten allergy. She then looked at the other worker and said We’ll I am not taking my gloves off” and then just stood there. The worker who took my order finally called another girl over and said you need to make a new crust. The girl rolled her eyes and then proceeded to make another crust and brought it back to the same station. The person that took my order told her she would need to bring it to the back and put the toppings on from there. She once again rolled her eyes and proceeded to take my pizza to the back. She was in the back for about 15 minutes and finally came out with my pizza. She started to put it in the oven when another lady stepped in and said it needed to be put on a special pan. When I finally got my pizza the other people in my party had already finished their food. Honestly Blaze has always been one of my safe places to eat. Sadly there are not many places in the area that I can say that about. I have never had an issue before and I really hate to sound like a negative person because I am in the food business and know what that is like but today I felt more like a hindrance to these people rather than someone who is valued. I would gladly not have this allergy if I could choose but at the same time I do not care to patron a place where it doesn't seem that I am welcomed.
They offer a gluten-free crust, however, cross-contamination is a major issue period. My six-year-old daughter had the supposedly glue of free crust period there was cross-contamination at both the sauce and the oven. it seems like they don't understand gluten free precautions. She was vomiting within 2 hours. We made the staff clearly aware. I've gone back and subsequently explained to them what happened and what that means. Not sure they will change processes.
They have GF dough and cauliflower crust. The GF pizzas are baked on a dedicated pan in the oven. The staff always changes their gloves and uses a separate pizza cutter. It’s delish too!!
Good! They asked if it was an allergy and then used separate dough, a clean under mat (for in the oven too), and got new gloves. Seemed pretty good on contamination. They got the sauce from the end of the line (sauce used for dollop topping) in contrast to another review. They also have a gluten free menu/search on their website so you can check toppings/drizzles!
The pizza was good, but my wife got glutened. Everything is cross contaminated…. Wouldn’t recommend for celiacs. Maybe for gluten sensitive.
