The Skinny: a better quality quick fired pizza, reasonably priced (4) service: great for a quick service joint (4) value: around $10 for a quality pizza....bonus points for being good for kids (4).
Dropped by for lunch for a mommy/toddler date as mommy had PTO and the LO had no preschool.
We ordered the Linked in which is sausage, red pepper, caramelized onions. I added some fresh basil on top. I also ordered a side of quinoa, butternut squash and mixed greens salad.
The pizza dough had a nice texture and crispiness to the crust. We love Grimaldi's too but the crust is a little too chewy for the kiddo to eat. At Blaze, the thinner pizza crust has only a very mild chew which makes it easy for little mouths to eat and little hands to hold.
Just as a side note, I wouldn't overload the pizza with too many ingredients, otherwise the pizza gets soggy.
Flavorwise, the ingredients and sauce profile are pretty tasty. The sauce takes a minimalist approach which I really love.
The salad was quite nice too. I really liked the combination of quinoa and butternut squash. The kiddo grabbed my salad and dug in. She loved it.
Servicewise, the cashier was such a nice guy. He helped me get the high chair to the table and cleaned everything up for us.
Overall, I am really happy to have a good quality fast casual pizza joint in our neighborhood. For the price you can't go wrong (4).
