The Chipotle of Pizza minus those crazy E. Coli issues and lawsuits! I've always loved Blaze ever since I tried it back home when they opened near UCI. Since then they've closed and I was really happy to find a Blaze open up in Charlotte. We walked in last week for a build your own pizza lunch, there were no lines, which was awesome. Its been a while since I've eaten here so I wanted to sample a simple pie with red sauce for $5 (pretty good deal considering the size of the pizza) and a white top add onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Note: you can kill your pizza with all these awesome cheeses! I LOVE that their toppings are chopped up into little pieces! This was an issue at the Irvine, CA location, they wouldn't finely chop up their toppings making for one soggy pie, especially if you were going veggie with zucchini. This was about $8. Thin crust is awesome so I love these pies. They also don't smother you with toppings so you can really enjoy the combination of sauces, cheeses, meats, and veggies you selected. I would avoid the sea salt if you are even the slightest sensitive to salt, it gets really salty!
There is plenty of seating and the staff is very friendly. Definitely coming back for more, oh I'm going to get so fat.
