Talking about Blaze pizza’s gluten-free menu, according to their official menu, there are only 5 gluten-free food at blaze pizza but there are other ingredients, salads, and toppings that you can add to your order. Some of these extras include; grilled chicken, applewood bacon, Italian sausage, red sauce, smoked ham, ground beef, croutons, roasted veggies, tomato, and ovalini among others.

We advise you to stay off Blaze pizza’s barbecue chicken and buffalo blue salad because they have gluten ingredients in them. For a healthy and diet-friendly choice, we recommend red vine pizza, green stripe pizza, and keto pizza. And according to Blaze pizza, they are rich in protein and contain a dose of powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidants.

Here is a tip: you can do some food modification and well-planned menu hacks to get the best out of Blaze pizza’s gluten-free options. For instance, you can add the classic Greek salad to your pizza toppings. Also, for cheese lovers, you can request vegan cheese which has less fat and protein as compared to the normal cheese and enjoy a gluten-free meal.
