Use the same press for regular and GF dough. Not celiac safe at all
If you "create your own pizza," you can get an 11" with two different types of GF crust. One is Vegan and one is Keto. I tried the Keto, it was pretty good ... but rather expensive at an extra $4.50.
Never gotten sick here. When you do gluten free crust specify it’s an allergy. They do a glove change,separate sauce even new toppings depending on who you ask

All of the other Blaze Pizza use a separate press for gf dough... Not this location, they press non gf with gf. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE CELIAC. Not to mention the guy at the oven was gloveless and I watched him stick his finger in a pizza 🤢.
Not celiac's friendly large potential for cross contamination.
GF Pizza is delicious, and the concept of this chain is fresh, but be aware of a few risks of potential cross contamination. The plates to press the dough, little metal order numbers that travel with your pizza and may also touch your uncooked dough (reused and probably not washed), the pizza cutter used to cut all pizzas, and the gloves in case not changed. Nice to see the separate GF sauce and dedicated ladle, but beware of other risks if intolerant.
very good thin crust with your choice of many toppings, including sauces. Line moves fast. They change gloves when they make your pizza. Oven time for each pizza just 3 min!
We've eaten here a number of times and have never had a problem. There is a possibility of contamination because they do share equipment, but they do clean the lower plate of the press before making GF crust. They normally have one person walk my pizza the entire way with fresh gloves. The pizza is made on a special liner so it doesn't touch shared surfaces. There is also a special bin for GF pizza sauce that is not contaminated. Three of us are GF in our family, my daughter will throw up if ingested gluten, we've not had any problems. Communication is key and don't be afraid to speak into any concerns you have.
I used to eat here all the time until I realized they use the same machine to press the GF dough with as they do with the regular dough.
I'm not super impressed with Blaze. I've had much better crust many other places. I love the number of topping options. If you are familiar with Pieology, this place may disappoint.
I really love their pizza, but I got slightly sick last time I ate there. Might have been cross contamination. Really disappointed because their pizza is one of the better think crusts I've had.
They ask if it is an allergy or preference. They change their gloves for allergy. They have GF crust, dedicated sauce containers separate from the other toppings. They have a red handled (the others are black and vegan is green) pizza cutter.

A celiac nightmare! Employees do not know about gluten free safety protocols. I asked for a refund and left hungry.
Very knowledgeable staff on GF. They changed their gloves and used separate utensils for GF sauces and ingredients. The GF pizza was put on a designated pan to bake. The pizza was cooked perfectly and was delicious! I was very happy that they had a large variety of toppings to choose from as well. I just wish we had a Blaze Pizza back home so we can enjoy GF pizza more often!
Just went here the other day and they were super well versed on cross contamination. Got a new bucket of sauce and cheese specifically for my pizza and when putting it in the oven it was on a tray so it didn’t touch the bottom of the oven. Pizza is overall pretty good, definitely crispy but it’s safe and one of the better places to get gluten free in the area.
My daughter has celiacs. The pizza is really good here and they took extra efforts to keep her pizza separate and safer. They want to take care of you, you just need to ask . It’s more gluten friendly than most. She ordered the gf pizza - they have a silicone tray that they cook the pizza on. The toppings didn’t have a separate area, but the main ingredients did, they also will change out gloves upon request. Make sure you specify to use a clean cutter when ordering - if you don’t it won’t be done.
They always offer to change gloves and use separate everything to cook my meals before I can even ask truly love it here and couldn’t be happier with the precautions they take!
