Anyone who reads my reviews knows that I don't go head hunting to bad mouth establishments. I appreciate small business and know that these places do their best to make it in a competitive market. Having said that, I have to keep my reviews honest. This pizza was just bad, and I MADE IT. It seems as though most reviews are new to the "make your own pie" experience so they have nothing to compare it to in which case I hope they stay loyal to Blaze but their are much better options in close proximity.
This is just like any of the "make your own pie" place and nothing really separates Blaze Pizza from the other pizza joints and I've been to all of them...MOD, Fired Pie, Pieology, the Studio, etc. The only gimmick I could see is that they do offer a one topping price and after that, its a pretty bland place both in pizza and in experience.
Being my first time in I made my pizza half and half so I could try two different pies. On one half I did red sauce and the other their pesto. Neither had any real taste to it and felt like I could have made it at home out of a jar. The crust was a fine and had a bit more thickness to it than most thin crust options at other places (they did have a double thick crust for more money as an option too). Lastly their topping selection was the least amount to choose from than any other place out there like it. All the staples were there but places like MOD and Pieology had more sauces and toppings along with much better salad options.
Both of my kids had pizzas as well and felt the same as I did, even asking if they had to finish it. My wise cracking son made the joke that he would be worried that if he ate the cardboard take out box, would he even notice a difference. Ouch!
The cleanliness and seating is why I gave it two stars instead of one and the employees working were nice and friendly but seriously go a bit further down I-10 to MOD pizza on Litchfield for the best build your own pizza experience because this just doesn't cut it at all!
