Tried BLAZE last night for the first time. This is not "authentic" Italian pizza. It is not meant to be either. It is great tasting fairly priced pizza, located conveniently near by. Huge amount of toppings and cheeses, generously doled out with a friendly smile. The folks behind the counter were friendly, well trained and appeared to enjoy what they were doing. So unlike lots of places in town, these young people seemed to have pride in their product and their work.They have been well trained. Only one thing was lacking. My wife and I were both very disappointed to learn that at the end of the ordering process and while paying for our order, we get the news that they were out of wine. We are retired seniors and enjoy wine with our meals. Being OUT of wine is an indication on a Saturday evening shortly before 6 PM of poor management.
Not that there is a shortage of vino in the area between the liquor stores and supermarkets minutes away in the same center. At the very least there should have been an appropriate sign in view prior to having customers wait In line to place their order and then only at the end to learn there is no wine in house. We will go there again but inquire about wine availability BEFORE we get on line. One thing further.....we went without getting a coupon.We have signed up on the site and hope for coupons in the future. Mangia !!!
