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 🤢.
No
Not celiac's friendly large potential for cross contamination.
No
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.
Yes
They always do glove changes for my two celiac kids. One has a dairy allergy too and they have never gotten sick!

Typically staff will comply with a glove change and use separate utensils and ingredients from below, but I've had a couple of instances where I've communicated my intolerance and staff have looked me in the face and asked "Is it ok if I don't actually accommodate" or "do you actually need this"? Needless to say, I got sick. More recently even when they followed protocol I still got glutenated.

Good experience here - person who took order made the person who made my GF crust pizza change gloves, and they used a special mat under the pizza in the oven. But of course he had the usual “we cannot guarantee …” disclaimer. No GF dessert options though.

Don’t trust this place!!!! SO MUCH CROSS CONTAMINATION it’s a nightmare. And if you tell them it’s an allergy: prepare for a staff temper tantrum. Unreal. I threw my pizza away rather than risk getting sick.

Pizza was great however, cross contamination has me nervous. I saw the employee handling regular dough hand the gal that was going to make my GF pizza the black liner. I called it out and asked to please have a glove change with a new liner. They did it with no questions asked. Gal got sauce from a different area. All seemed great. Then the employee that got my pizza out of the oven placed my pizza down. When he moved it the black liner wasn't completely covering the table where part of my pizza was placed. Unfortunately, I will be the next test subject of possible cross contamination at Blaze Pizza.
