Blaze Pizza

Good pizza with lots of options for gluten free too. Always pretty consistent, just the staff is a bit clustered typically, if you can get beyond that, you’ll enjoy it! Go in with low expectations on service and you’ll be fine

Say what you want about fast casual chain restaurants, but I'm a huge fan of Blaze Blaze Pizza brings the concept of customized meals to the pizza universe, and customers are presented with a truly dizzying array of options and toppings. The process is simple - choose your dough, cheese type (plant-based cheeses are available), sauce type, and toppings. The raw pizza then goes into a blazing hot oven for a surprisingly short wait and then you can choose your finishings (greens, oils, and/or herbs). Over the years, I've noticed - with great appreciation - that Blaze has expanded its options to welcome all sorts of alternative diets. To wit, there are now four types of doughs available - original, gluten-free, keto, and cauliflower - and when I asked for a gluten-free dough, the server kindly offered to have everyone handling my pizza do a glove change. The original dough isn't what I'd expect from a traditional pie; in my opinion, it errs more on the side of a thick and stretchy tortilla than a pizza dough. But, as they say, "it's its own thing". The dough is thin and crispy, especially if you request it 'well done', a request to which the servers have been more than amenable. Speaking of servers, the folks working here are always so polite and helpful. I tend to get on the persnickety side about how much cheese or toppings I'd like, and I've yet to see an eye roll or flicker of irritation. Instead, they're eager to check in and make sure I'm okay with the amount and spread of my chosen toppings, and that kind of service is just the cherry atop the delicious pizza pie. Pizza is clearly the main eponymous focus here, but there are decent salad options available. There's also a limited number of alcoholic beverages for those who are so inclined. If you're looking for a New York-style pie, this is probably not going to fit the bill for you. But if you're looking for a quick pizza fix, the customizability and cooking time can't be beat.
