Blaze pizza is a fairly new kid on the block
compared to other fast-food franchises out there the tagline fast fired
custom-built artisanal pizzas is what the fast casual dining restaurant lives
up to with LeBron James as one of the original investors in the franchise this
is the face of the better pizza movement grab your slice as we take you through
the top ten untold truths of blazed Pizza Pizza we like pizza it's all about
the dough we always prefer fresh pizzas served piping hot out of the oven but
usually popular fast-food chains have their pizza dough frozen before they
throw it in the oven that is not the case with blaze pizza their dough is
fresh and fermented for 24 hours before they are shaped into a crust the result
is that the pizzas end up having a lighter than air crisp eNOS that gives
them their unique texture ingredients like virgin olive oil unbleached flour
water salt and a pinch of sugar are added to the mix all the pizza pies are
cooked to perfection for an average of 3 minutes in a fast fired stone hearth
oven with open flames on all three sides the pies sure must be blazing in there
before they are ready to serve everything about how blaze Pizza
prepares and cares for their dough is great news for pizza lovers everywhere
hmm I've never seen anyone eat pizza like that freedom of choice at blaze
pizza it is a big thing nowadays to see your item being prepared while you watch

no different the pies you order can be witnessed as they're being assembled
while you wait to get your hands on it the fact that blaze pizza is not afraid
to show the public how the pizzas are made and prepared shows the confidence
that they have in their product people can choose from seventeen vegetables ten
sauces seven kinds of cheese and proteins to decorate their pizzas you
can also choose one of the nine signature pies as well whatever you end
up getting your wallet won't bleed if you were just not content with pizzas
alone blaze Pizza has its own signature salads desserts and a collection of
beverages which also includes their house-made lemonade The Beatles may have
said all you need is love but a little dessert to accompany our pizza every now
and then won't hurt and if it's in the form of a brownie cookie or a s'mores
pie not digging in would be sacrilegious
he stole a gas Pizza traveling to new frontiers the Chipotle of Pizza has come
a long way in a short span of time especially when we look at other fast
food franchises who have established their routes since time immemorial this
Pasadena Pizza chain has 252 locations spread across 39 states but that's not
the end as the chain wants to develop more than 400 pizzerias across the
country not content with conquering only the US market blaze pizza is also set to
go global with planned openings in Canada Europe North Africa and the
Middle East in 2018 it had a plan to open restaurants in Saudi Arabia Kuwait
and Bahrain in four to seven years the company has mapped out plans to have
1,000 locations and 1 billion dollars in annual sales I'm in the Empire business
that's a lot of money for sure the track record of the company has been great so
far and its ambitions come with that consistency with three minutes of baking
time and an outlook towards future proofing its presence blaze pizza is

pizza just for me please Pizza has celebrity backing the fast affordable
high-quality pizza has not stood alone in their endeavors of climbing to the
top of the ladder on the fast food chain since day one this pizzeria has had the
support of one of the most marketable athletes LeBron James the guy is not
just known for hanging out at one of the restaurants but has also been an
investor franchisee and paid endorser for the brand it is always a bonus to
have the face of a star stamped on your business and in this case it definitely
works in blazed pizzas favor according to Harris poll the chain took
the second spot in the best pizza chain brands category just behind Papa John's
LeBron James puts an extra effort to support his affiliation with blaze pizza
by promoting them on his social platforms like Facebook Twitter and
Instagram as well in 2016 as part of a promotional gig a video
floated on YouTube with the athlete pretending to be working the counter as
Ron it went viral with a million views with that much input being made by the
athlete it clearly shows his commitment to being involved and what he has been
investing in since the chains launched on our next order let's hope we get a
glimpse of Ron and his recommendation for choosing the right sauce and also
maybe a selfie and an autograph so that we can tell the tale for years to come
got to make the Millennials happy with more and more people gravitating towards
changing fast food preferences restaurants are trying to catch up on
the trend especially the ones who have long been in the business when it comes
to the fast casual pizza chains the Millennials are accepting the
customizable pizzas in under five minutes known for being health conscious
and eco friendly Millennials are fans of the pies which are prepared in front of
customers and bathed in fresh ingredients the crowd is often for food
focusing on healthier and fresher options and that's what blaze pizza is
aiming to do not just that the chain is putting in extra effort to make sure the
packaging is recyclable and eco-friendly it's boldly emblazoned on the company's
page that even their knives cups Forks and salad dressing containers leave a
small footprint these tactics are being practiced to meet the demands of the
Millennials and remain updated at the same time in regard to customer
preferences sound business strategy and not too shabby if we do say so ourselves
please Pizza likes to keep it clean speaking of healthier options blaze
Pizza likes to endorse the fact that their food is clean in nature also there
are no added preservatives colors or any kind of artificial flavors plaguing the
ingredients so as to meet health approved standards and remain
deliciously exquisite at the same time now this mantra is more important than
ever when we look at the crowd being pulled in by such franchises in this
digital age nothing is hidden blaze Pizza blaze
pizza late blaze pizza and transparency is the key to practice good business
especially in the food department with more and more people becoming aware of
what they consume companies have worked hard to meet their new expectations for
all those who are of the non-vegetarian kind the chain has also emphasized that
their meat is nitrate free so that's a win-win for everyone it's a perfect
marriage between the fresh ingredients and the never frozen dough that keeps
giving us a reason to visit next time because once would not be enough vegan
Blais pizzas got you covered as we are talking about menus becoming more health
friendly and diverse with changing times Blais pizzas vegan option is worthy of
notice as much as Thor is worthy of the hammer mjolnir if you're a particular
about what kind of dough you eat and happen to prefer all things vegan the
fast food chain has vegan gluten free dough on offer it can also come with a
soy free vegan cheese option their dough collection is great and you can get the
red or spicy red sauce to go along with it and all the veggie toppings you can
think about like banana peppers basil black olives spinach roasted garlic and
so on you can go crazy and experiment with something unique for your order
then it comes to the finishing touches balsamic drizzle buffalo sauce oregano
olive oil drizzle and arugula to name a few can be the answer to your craving if
that's a lot of food and you simply want to get some salad while on the move
cranberries quinoa and kale are some options to think about yes the available
deserts are not exactly vegan friendly but you can always get drinks - the
Dairy Milk it's nice to see a popular pizza chain focused on providing tasty
food for everyone please Pizza has panache it's easy to forget what goes
into making your order when all you can think of in that moment is how your
stomach is churning and growling like an untamed beast
the employees doing their job as fast as possible can seem like slow motion in
those moments when the sights and smells test our patience while we wait but the
food served is a work of art and the skills required to achieve that feat
demand the best of the best in the work environment that's what you get a sense
of when the employees are handling the pies in the kitchen the dome of a blaze
pizza oven can have temperatures up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit while the floor
temperatures float anywhere between 600 to 800 degrees Fahrenheit the trained
workers or Pizza Smiths to make things sound a bit more dramatic have to rotate
the pies during different heat zones so as to make sure that they don't burn to
a crisp when you look at the process sure it looks like something you can do
yourself in the blink of an eye I can do this all day yeah I know
but it does require serious skills and when the 3-minute timer looms over your
head you know your pizza making abilities will be put to the test
after all the sight of a charged pizza on your plate will make you lose your
appetite and that's something the employees know they have to avoid at all
costs I beets I never hurt nobody glazed pizzas treatment of animals
treatment of animals in context to fast-food chains has always been a
controversial topic franchises like KFC and McDonald's have been accessories to
abuse of animal treatment and so have other chains as well but when it comes
to blaze pizza they boldly claim but they do treat animals humanely the
company follows the five freedoms principle laid out by the farm animals
welfare Council which includes freedom from discomfort freedom to express
normal behaviors freedom from hunger or thirst freedom from pain injury and
disease and freedom from fear or distress the pizza chain follows these
principles religiously and has remained clear of any controversies at least for
now it's not just restaurants that have to work in accordance with the FA W C's
principles veterinarians and other organizations have to follow suit to in
order to maintain their good we'll let us hope they continue to treat
the animals well blaze Pizza stats prove it all
