Still on the hunt for decent Pizza North of Uptown, did not find it at the new Blaze Pizza in Concord. Pizza was bland, mostly due to a lackluster sauce (which BTW was applied LIBERALLY resulting in a soggy mess). The "grilled" chicken was sparse and underwhelming and the pesto drizzle was on the oily side. My son's pizza, a Hawaiian style was descent and the meat was plentiful.
Since this is a new restaurant I knew it would be busy on Saturday so we downloaded the APP and placed our order online, they even sent me a code for BOGO pizza which I attempted to apply only to find out that the APP was having issues with promo codes so I had to pay full price. I stopped by Earth Fare to grab some brews and headed over to Blaze for my Pie (assuming that it would be ready by then, not) and found that my pie was just being assembled. I sat back and watched the chaos that ensued as diner after diner found issues with their order accuracy and wait times, at this point the BOGO pizza at Earth Fare was sounding better each minute. My name was called and with much trepidation I approached the counter to inspect my full price purchase, the expediter reached to inspect my pie first and accidentally pushed it over the counter at which point with ninja like reflexes I grabbed for the pie saving it from premature doom (not sure if Blaze offers Pizza insurance like Domino's).
Had the pizza been good I would not balk at paying $17 for 2 small pizzas, I don't see myself going back to Blaze anytime soon which is too bad considering its only 3 minutes down the road.
