Blaze Pizza, why hadn't I discovered you sooner? If you've never been Blaze Pizza, you owe it to yourself to try it, especially if you're a pizza aficionado. Blaze Pizza is a California-based pizza chain that allows you to customize your pizza with whatever ingredients their restaurants have to offer. You can receive a whole personal pie all to your liking! Doesn't that sound wonderful? Well, it is. I wasn't too fond on the concept of integrating a pizza restaurant with a Subway, but in this case it works. And it works terrifically.
I initially experienced Blaze Pizza after winding down from a long day at Universal Studios Hollywood. I first learned about Blaze Pizza from viewing a video from BuzzFeed's "Worth It" series. When I laid my eyes upon the Blaze Pizza logo burning bright with neon lights, I knew I could not miss my chance to eat there.
Ordering your pizza at Blaze Pizza is a relatively simple affair. First, you can choose the type of crust you want between thin and thick crust. They also offer gluten-free dough. Then, you select any of their signature pizzas, including a build-your-own option. After that, you work your way down the assembly line choosing from the multitude of ingredients they have to offer to add to your pizza (unless you ordered a "Simple Pie", which does not offer extra toppings). You can add as many or as little toppings as you prefer to your pizza for no extra charge!
I had ordered a "Meat Eater" pizza which consisted of pepperoni, meatballs, red onion, mozzarella, and red sauce*. The savory meatballs and pepperoni worked well in cohesion with the rich flavor of the mozzarella cheese. The red onions gave the pizza a very nice snap to the texture. I also topped the pizza with oregano which enhanced the fragrance of the pizza and added an herby note to the flavor of the red sauce. The best part about this pizza was the crust. Pleasantly thin and crispy. I wouldn't have expected a very good crust from a chain pizza restaurant that bakes your pizza in an astonishingly short amount of time.
I enjoyed the pizza at Blaze Pizza so much that I later decided to search up any nearby Blaze Pizza restaurants in San Diego. Luckily, I found one in Clairemont. In that location, I tried a different pizza called the "Link In". This pizza had Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, sauteed onions, mozzarella, and red sauce*. I also added bacon, raw red onions, and oregano. You can't go wrong with adding these ingredients for extra flavor, texture, and fragrance. For this pizza, the crust was marvelously thin and crispy like the other pizza I had. Also, the pizza also had deliciously meaty, herby, and rich flavor.
Blaze Pizza is amazing for what it is. Quality fast personal pizzas at an affordable price. If you're looking for a pizza experience with the most customization, Blaze Pizza will take care of you. They let you have your way. That I can appreciate.
