Blue Line Pizza

This is my first take out since my celiac diagnosis. 15 hours and I still feel good! I called first, and the manager and the cook had a conversation and shared how they were going to prevent Cross contamination. While I am (sadly) never getting my deep dish crust back, I am happy to have options that everyone in my family is happy with. Thank you so much, Blue Line Mountain View!

I ordered via doordash and called the restaurant to make sure they could take GF precautions, which they said they could. Really good pizza, but I had a reaction unfortunately, so it seems like there was still cross-contamination. I’m not sure if it would’ve been better if I had physically been in the restaurant, but I definitely don’t recommend doing what I did if you’re highly sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

No

Pretty good GF pizza. I eat here about once a month on average. Service could be better and there is a risk of cross contamination, but I haven't been sick at all over 15 or so visits.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am celiac. Ordered GF pepperoni. Was delicious. I asked them to do what they could to limit cross contamination. I ordered via Postmates which made me nervous since I wasn’t ordering directly from the restaurant but I made it clear in the special requests section. I did not get sick and it was amazingly delicious!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I wouldn't have chosen this place on my own, but I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and was able to eat without getting sick. Seems like they're not super informed about cross-contamination -- I read a review on another site that advised asking for the cooks to change their gloves, as they may not do so otherwise.

Gluten free pizza was so good! They use Udi's crust. It is cooked in a dedicated pan and they used a fresh clean pizza cutter to cut it. When they served it they used a plastic spatula and threw it away when done. We sat on the back patio. Very knowledgable. Very friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Like all non-dedicated gluten free kitchens, they have a disclaimer on their menu saying that they can not guarantee that the food will be gluten free.

They offer an Udi's crust, so I figured it shouldn't be too hard for them to put something together without getting me sick. I've eaten at other pizza places before with no problem. I asked the waitress how good they were about keeping things separate and even asked her to talk to the cook. She came back with all smiles and said that they would be careful. There didn't seem to be any concern on their side of me dining there, so I felt comfortable taking my chances.

I had diarrhea for an entire week. If you're a celiac, do not eat here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Another delicious location for pizza, any of the thin-crust pizzas can be made with a Udi's crust for an extra dollar or you can order with the toppings of your choice. Toppings are not identified as to which have gluten (e.g. sausage) so it's a bit of a guessing game.But, the pizzas taste great and the service is helpful and knowledgeable. A bit pricy, but nice for an occasional treat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here all the time. Have never gotten sick.

I've eaten at blue line a few times over the past few years and the pizza is okay, but I find they consistently overcook it (or even burn it). There are definitely better gluten free pizzas out there.

Blue Line uses gluten free ingredients to make their Gluten free pizzas. You can also call to ask if your unsure and they will answer any questions or concerns you have about cross contamination.

I’m not sure about other gluten free options but their gluten free pizza is pretty tasty and it taste better than most of the gluten free pizza we have tried at other restaurants.

The food is packaged nicely and staff is great!

I was not comfortable that the pizza was celiac safe after discussing with the waiter. I didn’t ask to talk to the manager or kitchen (due to our own circumstances), but I wouldn’t go back based on our experience.
