I was skeptical about these type of pizzerias because I've tried pieology in California and thought it was pretty lame. I'd have to say Blaze Pizza is actually not that bad. It takes much better than Pieology. The sauce is what gets me with Blaze Pizza. You can never get a pizza as good as the ones you get in New York City. Living in the west coast for 8 years I've realized I can only tolerate thin crust pizzas here and the two best that I've experienced so far is Blaze Pizza and Grimaldi's.
