The menu caters to diverse tastes and dietary preferences, with standout choices like the cauliflower crust favored by health-conscious diners and unique sauces such as pesto that elevate the flavor beyond typical pizza fare.

Great pizza. Prefer this location over Colorado Blvd one in Pasadena. Plenty of parking available and lots of seating inside. One thing I've noticed is this location is a little stingy with the toppings but just ask for more I guess.

On Dec 5th 2025 I just so happened to be in the area looking for a place to purchase wings. There was a big sign outside the door "Hoot Wings" and I entered into the establishing excited BUt then was sadly met with news from the workers inside that "hoot wings no longer is at this establishment". I was about to leave but the workers here told me that I should try "Blaze Pizza". I wasn't looking for pizza, however, the friendly atmosphere, the clean space, the delicious smells from the kitchen... I HAD TO TRY. LET ME TELL YOU! There were THREE people who truly helped me throughout the entire process. They were patient, they guided me, they gave hope for a better tomorrow. VALERIA: she put my pizza together, the toppings, the dough, the finesse... her patience alongside with her suggestions gave me hope that I was going to eat something delicious. Remember without a great foundation a house will crumble. ROB: the gift of customer service GAB! He knows how to make you feel comfortable while also educating you how Blaze Pizza works. I bet if someone came into this place with tears, he would know how to turn those tears into a fountain drink of joy. Smooth as butter. FELT SAFE. JESUS: he takes that pizza and he's like the ultimate WIZARD STOVE MASTER. It takes strength, courage, and the resilience to face the fires of a pizza oven... DAVID WATCH OUT! BECAUSE GOLIATH IS IN THE HOUSE. but GOLIATH OF GOOD. Together these three made my night. I call them the VRJ. ALSO the PIZZA WAS BOMB. I ate it in my car as I watche FRIENDS on my friend's HBO MAX account (we share logins)... hopefully netflix's monopolized purchase of WB doesn't go through but that's for another story. ANYWAY I"M COMING BACK FOR SURE!!!!!!! VRJ (picture below of my beautiful pizza)

First thing is I might be very lucky, only times I have ever been here it’s little to no line & the employees are ALWAYS working behind the scenes .. today I got Fany ! She is so pretty & friendly, I’ve been to other blazes & they make your pizza sloppy & just thrown together .. Fany made me a beautiful pizza with the perfect amount of toppings & that really turned this transaction into an experience, I’m leaving knowing I will enjoy every bite because Fany cared about my meal. Thank you Fany & thank you blaze team for always being amazing !

Fabby and Val create such a warm, friendly, nice atmosphere that we chose to come here from Glendale. There is always parking, the food is delicious and everything is super clean.

The staff here is really cool— attentive and very friendly. They actually work to make your order as you describe and are very good with placement. All the ingredients are good, separated, and clean. I've seen them clean the bar and make the dough fresh, and definitely perform double checks in-store. Regularly come here and will be back!

A regularly go-to for the individual, group, or family meal. Sometimes there is a long wait, but the pizzas are always delicious and the service is always delivered with a smile. As you can see from the photos, if you catch it at the right time there is no line at all.

Food was great..they even opened 10 minutes early for us...everything was fresh. I have a dairy allergy the servers changed gloves and even offered to use a different pizza cutter. Servers also come around to make sure you don't need anything..which is great because you can easily get into your pizza and realize red pepper would make this better. Great customer service! Vegan options are available
