| - After reading the reviews, I was really excited to try this place, especially when I found it out was like the "Subway" of pizzas - choose your own crust, sauce, and toppings! Sounds wonderful right? Well I had looked up the menu prior to arriving, and had in mind what I was going to order. One of the Simple Salad options was a Kale and Quinoa option. Listed online, however they have removed it from their menu. Say what?? Disappointed from the get-go. Second, I wasn't expecting pre-made salads, especially when this place appeared to be all "create your own". The Caesar Salad was nothing to write home about, with large chunks of romaine ribs making up the bulk of the greens. As for the pizza? There was absolutely no crispyness to the crust and the two toppings we got were meager portions to begin with, with several slices not even having toppings on it. On top of it all, the tiny pieces of chicken garnish one of my slices tasted anything but fresh.
Well what saves this place from being a lower rating was the staff. They were exceptionally friendly, thorough with explanation on the process of BYO pizza (we were newbees), and a staff member was ready to clear our table and provide boxes in an instant. I couldn't have enjoyed their hospitality more, except for providing a better product than what they had to offer.
Bottom line- Blaze Pizza is a very cool concept that fails to execute. If a friend requests to go here, I would not say no; however, I will not willingly be back anytime soon.
