Blaze Pizza

The staff was annoyed, but changed their gloves and used a different pan. I got sick because they used the same toppings and pizza cutter!!!! I will not go back!!

Blaze Pizza can accommodate gluten-free dietary needs. The dough is kept on a red/Black mat throughout the process. There is a dedicated gluten-free marinara sauce and pizza cutter. All of the meats and cheeses are gluten free except for the meatballs. There is also a dedicated gluten-free pizza cutter. Blaze offers build your own but they now charge for the GF dough. Their lemonade is also fantastic. There have been times though where I have to monitor the entire process to ensure there is no cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got sick after going here. I have Celiacs. They change gloves and switch out the pans, but all the toppings are inevitably cross-contaminated since they don’t use spoons or tongs. It is not safe for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

I'm intolerant of dairy and wheat, but don't have celiac. I've never had problems at Blaze! I also love that they have both goat cheese and vegan cheese for pizzas.

Do not go here if you have celiac disease. They were not careful in cooking my pizza. They said they would bake it on a matt but forgot. They cut all pizzas with the same pizza cutters. Not a place for celiacs!!! Beware!!!

May of 2017, was my first experience with Blaze Pizza. My son goes to college in Des Moines and had told us about the great service and gluten friendly atmosphere at Blaze. When we went down to help move him home for the summer, we went there for lunch and I can't say enough about the quality food and service. They took great care to make sure that I had no cross-contamination of gluten. We will definitely go there again and I only wish there were one closer to our home

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.
