Probably a 3.5
I wanted to try this franchise place out as it had a neat concept of build your own pizza plus it was highlighted on YouTube by these two LA foodies who review different types of food at three price points. They did one episode on pizza and Blaze Pizza was their low price point pizza places but still rated really well.
So I gave the meat lovers pizza a try and added banana peppers and Cherry tomatoes. I didn't want to mess up their preset signature pizza ingredients too much as I wanted to see what it was like.
Crust is thin crust. Chewy yet crisp. I liked it. The toppings and sauce were good to above average. Waiting time was longer than expected as I was in line with the order for about 10 - 15 minutes with half a dozen pizzas to be assembled ahead of me. Then once your pizza is built it takes another 10 minutes to bake. So you could be in there for 20-25 minutes before getting your pizza if there is a small lineup.
Overall I liked the food and concept. They offer various fresh lemonades in addition to the standard pop choices.
I think I'll have to try it again to see what a personally built pizza might taste like. You can throw on as much toppings as you care for. Guessing if you load up to get quantity, the quality and taste gets diminished unless you know what you are doing.
Nice change from Pizza Hut. For thin crust lovers might be worth trying. For me I prefer the thick crust offered by traditional places like Michaels which are gooey cheese goodness. But still offers another great choice of fast casual to the 4th street dining scene.
