| - Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This place is where it's at.
Disclosure: I'm normally NOT a pizza person. It's typically just not my thing. But after a long day of running errands and a trip to the mall, my husband and I were itching to try something new for dinner. Blaze is in the old Schlotzsky's building in the Galleria Mall parking lot (and can we have a moment of silence for Schlotsky's cause damn those sandwiches were good! ).
Blaze is like Subway for the pizza connoisseur in you. While they have about 7 or 8 specialty pizzas to offer, the real fun is in creating your own. They have a smorgasbord selection of sauces, meats and toppings to choose from. Best part? No charge for each topping like literally every other nickel and dime you pizza joint. It's all one price. You can get more than one type of sauce, more than one type of cheese and all the toppings your hungry little heart desires.
Once you've created your masterpiece, it goes in a wood fired oven and if you're not familiar with those, let's just say that they cook a pizza to absolute perfection in approximately the same amount of time it takes you to fill your drink cup and find a seat. It's fast-like lightning fast. So once your pizza is done, they call out your name and you pick it up and you devour it. Savor it. Fall in mad, crazy love with it. And if you're a piggy like my husband, you may even go back for another one.
Suggestion: Your drink choice should be the root beer. It's so good. Like I'm considering going there today just for the root beer good. I can't explain it (and I'm rarely, if ever, at a loss for words) but do yourself a solid and go get a pizza and root beer. You can thank me later.
The prices are very reasonable; we paid around $25 for 3 pizzas and 2 sodas. If you have room, consider splurging for the smores bar and ask them to warm it up. Your sweet tooth will be beyond satisfied.
The employees were all very helpful and friendly, the restaurant itself was clean and there's plenty of seating both inside and out (although who would want to sit outside in this blasted heat is beyond me).
They have an app for your phone where you can collect flames for every transaction you make. Once you get 10 flames, you get a free pizza. I adore restaurant apps where you can earn rewards after so many purchases. Here's my issue with this one: you get a flame for every transaction, not every pizza. So if I bring 6 people in and we all get a pizza, that's only 1 flame. Lame. I suppose you could beat the system by paying for each pizza you buy separately but that's a pain. Blaze should really rethink their reward system.
All in all, this is an awesome concept for a pizza joint and more importantly, the food itself is delicious and the service is top notch. Build your own pizza. Who'd a thunk it? It's genius!
