Blaze Pizza

On two separate occasions I’ve ordered a gluten free pizza here and received a fully gluten pizza. First time I ate it without realizing and got so sick. Second time I realized. Would never eat here again.

Thin gluten free crust and very moist (to the point if being difficult to pick up!). I built my own pizza with red sauce dollops (a nice spiciness), plant-based chorizo and cheese. Very tasty!

As someone with Celiac, I would say that it is risky to eat here. Nevertheless I did, and it was delicious, and I didn't get sick. Staff seem knowledgeable about contamination issues and try their best to minimize the risk. They change their gloves and clean the pizza dough roller prior to rolling out the gluten free dough. They also have a few choices of dough including a keto dough. They also keep the pizza on other own silicone-like mat, so that in the oven it doesn't come in contact with what the other pizzas rest on. If you have celiac, I would say use your best judgement, I'm pretty sensitive but had no issues here.

Celiac friendly?

No

CC nightmare. Inconsistent staff when it comes to GF awareness

Celiac friendly?

No

Long wait at lunch. Otherwise pizza crust was thin and crispy. Yummy. They make an effort to reduce contamination by changing gloves, cooking the pizza on it's own sheet, using separate tomato sauce, and using separate pizza cutters.

I love their pizza, it taste good. Lately I've being getting a weird reaction afterwards. I am very cautious picking my ingredients.

Staff switches out gloves before preparing the gluten free pizza and uses dedicated appliance for the dough.

They always do glove changes for my two celiac kids. One has a dairy allergy too and they have never gotten sick!

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

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.
