Keto crust with dairy free cheese. Wasn’t very good and had to go to the bathroom immediately after eating.

Tasty but right in front of you at the front counter they are using the same brush for the garlic oil, spreading it across raw gluten dough, dipping the brush back in the oil container, then spreading all that cross contaminated oil and brush across my gluten free dough. Ispoke to the kid behind the counter about this and he was clueless about cross contamination. Very disappointing since the owners are part of a restaurant chain that know food. Looks like minimum to no effort to actually avoid cross contamination by set up and lack of effective staff training. This place is for gluten eaters who choose 'no gluten ingredients' but not even close for celiacs.

When I watched them handling the pizza in the oven I noticed cross contamination between my pizza and others. It was very busy when I went so there wasn't much room in the oven to keep my pizza separate. I would be cautious here if you have celiacs.

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.

Pizza was good until I got severely ill. May not be cross contaminated while making, however once it’s in the oven it’s fair game as it’s touching everywhere normal pizza is fired.
