Deliciousness - 3/5
Happiness - 3/5
I'd been waiting so long for Blaze Pizza and.... it wasn't worth the wait.
I did a build your own pizza and it was loaded sky-high with veggies. Literally a mountain of them (if I hadn't had both my kids on my own, I would have taken pictures). But what puzzled me was that as generous as they are with the veggies... they are equally as stingy with the meat. They literally used a singular meatball for the entire pizza. And what seemed like maybe an ounce of chicken. This threw the meat/cheese/veggie ration completely out of balance (although maybe I should have chosen less vegetables). The cheese was delicious and the best part of the pizza, especially the fresh mozzarella.
I also got a cookie and brownie - both of which were good, but neither of which were transcendent (and they sure were messy). I also noticed they had a decent selection of craft beers for what is essentially a fast food restaurant (Kilt Lifter, for example).
Sadly, I must also remark that "blaze" does not describe the speed of the employees. This location is new, so maybe they will work out the kinks. And the employees were very nice and well-spoken. But it took me about 15 minutes to get through the line, and there were only five customers ahead of me. And then, after you get through the line, you have to wait for the pizza to cook. That's quite a bit of waiting for a place like this.
I like the concept of a build-your-own fast-food pizza. But I've had it done better and taste better at other places.
