| - I think I have told people about this place at least 6 times since I attended the Yelp event on Tuesday. When I first heard 'build your own pizza' I couldn't contain my eye roll imagining it would be like a subway of pizza shops- generic and underwhelming, but Blaze is anything but generic.
I had the gluten free pizza crust which was actually tasty, not like the cardboard you get at some other pizza joints. The staff was super accommodating and even offered to change their gloves to avoid gluten contamination, wow that is what I call service. This place has several different sauce bases to choose from including a pesto and several marinaras. The toppings all looked amazingly fresh including an assortment of cheeses (goat, gorgonzola, mozzarella, and many more).
I had the pesto base with gorgonzola and goat cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, grilled onions, roasted red peppers, and oregano. The pizza was divine in terms of the quality of toppings. I do wish the crust would have gotten a bit more well done - but maybe the gluten free crust doesn't crisp up as much as the regular crust.
Also, had the arugula side salad with berries and cheese. The salad was good, but the staff was a bit heavy handed on the balsamic reduction, so if you don't like super sweet salad as for the reduction on the side. Over all though I was impressed with this place and will definitely be back soon!
Pro-tip: if you come at sunset bring your sunglasses because you will be blinded by the sun as the place doesn't have any blinds to keep out the bright rays.
