Blaze Pizza in Glendale is one of my favorite places to grab a quick, delicious, and fully customizable pizza. The build-your-own option is perfect for creating exactly what you’re craving. I always go for the cauliflower crust—it’s light, crispy, and a great gluten-free option. The variety of fresh toppings is impressive, from classic cheeses and veggies to unique options like roasted garlic and arugula. The pizzas are cooked to perfection in just a few minutes, thanks to their super-hot oven. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. Whether dining in or taking it to go, Blaze Pizza is a reliable choice for tasty, personalized pizza at a great price. Highly recommend!

Wonderful, wonderful restaurant with some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The food is always fresh and flavorful. I eat here often (even though I live in Highland Park) because it makes me so happy. The staff is very friendly and amenable to requests (gluten-free papadam instead of naan, for example). A friend of mine and I eat here every time she visits because it’s a favorite of hers, as well. Highly recommend!

First timers! Absolutely LOVED the customer service. Great staff, super friendly, approachable and even hooked it up with a sampler of their cookies and cream custard which was bomb. The food was great as well. We ordered the chicken sandwiches. One on a gluten free bun (not grainy/dry like at other places) and one in a regular bun. 20/10. It's been a while since we had great food and customer service like that.

Nice surprise. This is an elegant, and welcoming environment. Modern decor with an air of lounge vibes. This restaurant has many options to different nutritional preferences. It has several dishes that are vegan and gluten free. We order the fresh roll, Kari Seafood and Sticky rice with mango. Everything has really great flavor. You can taste the freshness of ingredients and species. The sticky rice and mango was already my favorite desert but this restaurant really presented the most delicious one I have ever tried. Fresh roll were fresh, balanced and delicious. The Kari Seafood had great mild curry flavor, not the most impressive presentation, but still great flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely will come back!

Bread was so good, I'd eat it with a gluten allergy. Which I don't have. I'm allergic to Benadryl. It's ironic but that's life. Tried the brisket sandwich... Even though I couldn't finish the whole thing there, it was still great as a left over. The sides were good too. A little disappointed on the salad but it's not a surprise. Twice baked potato was done well. The other details were definitely worth it. Glad I got introduced to somewhere I will enjoy to return.

Delicious generous portions. A cut above your standard sandwich and salad. Had gluten free bread which was delicious in the Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich. I was helped by someone (I think he was the manager) and had lovely service from him. The rest of the staff seemed a little too flustered to be pleasant but I believe this is a new location so understandable. Food was tastier than I could make at home and after I felt energized and alert (no meal hangover), the menu had lots options to fit my dietary preferences, I definitely will be back!

Mano and Patrick at Tender Greens are the dynamic duo you never knew you needed! These guys redefine "proper attire" with their style game on point. Their suggestions, especially on seasonal items, are like culinary gold mines. When I threw them a curveball with my gluten allergy, they handled it like pros, dropping knowledge about ingredients faster than you can say "quinoa." The way they orchestrated a glove change was a symphony of professionalism – gentle yet firm. And let's talk about how every worker orbits around them like they're the restaurant rockstars. Move over, celebrity chefs – Mano and Patrick are the real MVPs!

This place is amazing. The chicken tacos were very tasty. I was attending GrowthDay Live at the Alex Theater and this is conveniently located nearby. It's also close to the Brand Plaza Hotel. The service was excellent. Very friendly and even remembered my order when I went in a 2nd time (I mentioned the tacos were tasty, didn't I?). I have to eat gluten free. There are several gluten free options (including the chicken tacos). The price was also extremely reasonable. I highly recommend stopping by and eating some tacos (or anything else on the menu).

CA Fish Grill continues to be a good fast casual option in the area. Seafood choices are pleasantly good also which includes Keto and Gluten free examples. Portion sizes seem to have gotten smaller since I previously reviewed them, but the pricing hasn't gone up too much. For under $20 you can get a good meal with a soft drink. Bottled wine is still available. The biggest change in recent times is their kiosk system which makes you feel that they really don't want any human interaction. A large touchscreen is available for your human-less ordering process ... and don't mind that they will ask for a "gratuity" before you check out with your credit card. I really don't know what would happen if you prefer to pay with cold cash. Maybe they'll just treat you back with the same human-less look.
