The aroma as soon as you walk in is intoxicating. The atmosphere is really nice and modern. It's in a nice location in the Target plaza and at Christmastime everything around just adds to the stellar ambiance. The menu has calories listed for everything, which I really appreciate. Their site online also has a handy calculator if you want your try your hand at crafting your own creation. I ordered the green stripe pizza which had pesto drizzled over grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, chopped garlic, mozzarella and arugula. The pizza was done within 10 minutes and was everything I wanted. As an aside, my wife ordered hers with the high-rise dough and she really enjoyed the dough. You might want to consider it. If you are looking for a tasty fast casual dining experience, Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza is an solid choice. read more

I have tried to eat here multiple times and I'm never impressed. My most recent time was awful. BEWARE: if you have a gluten allergy do not eat here. The cross contamination is real. I was sick for a few days and I am not even celiac, just intolerant to gluten. The flavors and ingredients are not over the top anyways so you aren't missing much. Will not be returning! read more

The pizza here is delicious and quickly made from scratch. They have several options and very reasonable prices. The little glass bottles of coke are an awesome throw back touch. I would highly recommend you try this and any other brick oven pizza shop opening up. The dough is so fresh and eating in ensures the dough doesn't get soggy. Great option! read more

This is probably my favorite chain pizzeria! I always do build your own (I like a lot of random stuff on my pizza and it's only like $1/$2 more). What I love about this place is the staff is super friendly and patient. They always ask if the amount of the particular topping they add to your pizza is enough so they aren't stingy with their toppings and add one (side eye at Chipotle). I personally get tomato sauce, mozzarella, all the meats, spinach, sautéed onions, jalapeños, banana peppers, spinach and I ask for BBQ sauce on it (it's like sweet BBQ sauce. It's ORGASMIC). I took a picture of it and it's amazing. As far as chains go this is really a quality pizzeria and do implore anyone who would like to explore/try different pizza options to consider this one. This place is LIT! (Play on the flame that's on Blaze's logo). read more

Blaze Pizza - My random pizza - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

Two stars because the food was great - but service was terrible. Being the pizza fiend that I am, I was excited to try this pizza. As I arrived, I went up to the counter labeled "Online Orders" and there were three men by the counter/wood fire, all chatting speaking Spanish. I made eye contact with all three of them, and they made eye contact back and it must have taken about a minute until I said "HELLO?" for one of them to acknowledge me. I don't know about you, but a minute is much too long to be ignored ESPECIALLY after making eye contact with all three men who seemed to be in their own little world, mind you one of them had their back towards me and even turned around to look at me after one of his friends looked, and then turned back. Whatever, they were in their own little world. I speak Spanish so I perfectly understood what they said. After I had to rudely say "HELLO?" they said "what?", which was unnecessary. A 'How can I help you?' or even 'yes?' would been better than a 'what'. I told them I was picking up an online order, and without even asking my name, they said "It's not done yet." So I went and sat down and stared at them until it was done. After waiting and finally getting my food, they ignore the fact that my order had a drink, so I had to remind them of that so I could get my cup. I get that it's a new location so you might still be getting into the swing of things, but this type of service is making me avoid this location for a while. It's a bummer because my pizza and lemonade were super delicious. read more

Blaze specializes in pizza. They have many varieties, options, and portions. You never have to wait long for your food. It always comes out fresh and piping hot. If you like New York style thin crust pizza then you'll love their pizza. It thick crust is your preference this shop may not be your cup of tea. I think one of my favorite things about this place is their gluten free options. I don't have a gluten allergy but if I did they are on top of making sure they change gloves, keep your food separate, etc. The toppings they offer are endless. They also offer salads and desserts. I believe that covers a majority of their menu. When your pizza is finished baking they also take the time to cut off any burnt edges. I wasn't impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The beverage station was covered in old sticky pop. Even the cupboards had stuff all over them. I had to wipe our seats down before we sat because their was food and crumbs on them. read more

Went here during COVID time. I liked the way they handeled it. We wore our masks throughout the lines, and got to eat inside at the socially distanced tables ( sanitized too) and ate out delicious pizza. I do love and always will love the pizza here. One of my fav spots, that you just can't beat for the price. Spent less than 20$ to get a pizza big enough for me and my gf. Snacks, and drinks. Love it here, and happy about the way they handled the COVID times! If your wondering if you should go, DO IT! read more

Last minute stop and was really impressed. We had the Meateater and Whitetop. The whitetop was by far my favorite of the two. The ingredients were fresh and the staff was friendly. They also assist newbies, like me! The bf would have liked the crust a tad more crispy, but overall great experience. Will be back! read more

Blaze Pizza - Whitetop and Meateaters pizza - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

My first impression of this place was based off of a trusted friend saying "*coworker wants to go here, I didn't like it but will give it a second try." I don't let things like that affect how I feel about a place, movie, music, etc. Taste is too subjective. He mentioned how, last time he went, he ordered first and his food came out 10 minutes after all of his coworkers received theirs. Also took with a grain of salt. I ordered ahead, online, 50 minutes before my arrival. It states online that if you do not specify a time, it's usually a 10 minute wait. OK. I figured to get there about noon or slightly after, so I chose noon. We were later than that. We got there about five after and half of our party ordered ahead. I went with my friend to the pickup section...one was just put in the oven (mine) and his wasn't even started. It was about 12:20 before I got my pizza. They knew about my order for over an hour and we're still 20 minutes late. What's even worse, I saw them put it up on the counter and not even call my name (because they expected it was a pickup, even though I had already explained at 12:05 that I was there...and they apologized it wasn't ready). Had I not been proactive, it would've sat there for who knows how much longer. A LARGE staff and they just don't know what they are doing. Now, onto the food. My BBQ Chicken Pizza was unremarkable. Aside from the sodium overload, the BBQ sauce wasn't sweet or spicy. It also formed pools in areas like it was just poured on (not a drizzle). It was also not cooked down at all. The white chicken meat was exactly that...standard bleh bagged cooked chicken pieces. One piece had horrible dark and vein-ey tendon grizzle. My friend went..."ugh, nasty grizzle." All the chicken was flavorless. The onion was decent but standard and the gorgonzola and crust was OK. We all discussed (out of 10) what we'd rate the pizza and the numbers were all over. I said 3-4 at most and the highest was 7. We discussed how you cant compare anything here to all of the pizza options around our area. It's not like any other pizza. The music was very indie electronic pop rock, that was too loud and it doesn't fit the whole vibe of pizza, but it does fit the clientele and the typical wooden bench metal feel of most strip mall eateries now (like faux mexican food chains like QDOBA or Chipotle). I don't get it. It's pseudo-hipster and it just doesn't work. I won't be back to this place. It's not healthy, don't fool yourself and it's not good pizza. If you can't even get the convenience part down, this is a complete fail. read more

I've always been a huge fan of Blaze. I had it in Albany and Toronto before and loved it both times I tried it so I was extremely excited when I heard Blaze was coming to Buffalo. I had the build my own pizza, where I was able to put unlimited toppings of my choice for a price of $8.95 before tax. I chose the red hot sauce for my pizza topped with mozzarella cheese. For toppings, I chose Italian sausage, chicken, spinach, mushrooms, and pineapple. You definitely get what you pay for here. Half a pie fills me up!! I also got to try their grapefruit lemonade, which was the best out of the four lemonades they had. it was a bit on the sweeter side so I filled my cup with extra ice to let that melt in the drink. The server was quick when taking my order and the pizza did not take a really long time to bake. I came around 3pm when it was not too busy so that was good. However, it took me a while to receive my order. I did not hear them call my name so I went up to check up on my pizza. I saw my pizza sitting there on the side ready to serve and the workers made eye contact with me, however they did not ask me what I was looking for. If there were pizza sitting there and I went up standing there in front of it, I expect for them to ask me if I needed any help, but that did not happen. My friends who ordered after me received their pizza before me, so I asked if my pizza was ready and they asked for my name. When they saw my name on the order paper, they were not able to match it with the pizza even though it was just sitting there on the table. I had to tell them that that pizza over there was mine. When I told that guy, he was like "oh, oh" but another worker behind him asked him to verify with me and ask me what was on my pizza. The pizza was great, but service could've been better especially when I came right after lunch hours and it was not busy at all. Servers should have been more attentive especially if it's a newly opened restaurant. Hopefully next time my experience will be better. read more

A little disappointed with my second visit. I'll admit--we were there close to closing (they closed at 10, we were there say around 9:20/9:30). However, some of the things I'll comment on where present in my first visit too-- -for being a fast service restaurant that functions as an assembly line/offers "build your own options," it's a bit odd to have music BLARING overhead the employees making your food. Add that to the metal structure of the place and the acoustics make the music deafening. It was very difficult to communicate with the girl making my pizza--several times I had to repeat myself. Maybe it's just an occupational hazard, but it seems inconsiderate for both the employee and the customer. -both times, the finishing line was lacking. Blaze offers "finishing" sauces such as ranch and pesto drizzle or the addition of arugula after the pizza has left the oven. My partner's pizza was a signature item that included pesto drizzle and arugula. I picked up her pizza for her and didn't realize this--she was confused as to why it hadn't been made properly. Turns out--they had already removed all the items from the finishing station and were wiping down the counter for the night! I get it, it was late and the workers want to go home. But we weren't the only ones eating in the restaurant. In fact a couple ordered after we were pretty much finished eating. When she asked about the pesto, not even bothering to get the arugula she was promised that she was anticipating, the employee merely handed her the bottle of pesto drizzle for her to do herself. I'm sorry, but if you are open until 10-you start breaking down stations at 10, not 30 minutes to. Especially when there is garbage that can be swept off the floor, etc. My final comment is that while the pizza was good, both my partner and I were a bit thrown off by the loud and jarring atmosphere. Maybe it's meant to be hip, but it just seems obnoxious. I'd go again, but we'd rather visit other pizza places before we run to blaze. read more

I had the original pizza dough. They do offer different types of dough (one for a thicker crust), which provides great flexibility in building your own pizza. You can order the premade pizza options and make changes. I built my own pizza. I will say I wish they had zucchini ribbons like their rival Pie Craft. Picking up the pizza was a little annoying. I really wanted to sit down and have someone bring it to me but instead I stood by the pick up area because if I sat at a table in the back I don't think I would have heard them back my name. It was nice to look at the play/relaxation area they have between the plazas. read more

I wanted to check this out since I saw the sign going up for the restaurant. I used to be a fan of Pi Craft but I don't think it's as good as it once was. I ordered the "White Top" pizza and added sausage and pesto oil. The pizza was really good, flavorful and the crust was cooked perfectly. I definitely want to come back and try the other options. I'm happy it's nearby. There are endless amounts of choices to make your own pizza or go with one of their signature pizzas. read more

This restaurant chain is new to the area, and a great addition! Located right next to the new Core Life, and near Panera and Chipotle on Niagara Falls Blvd, this pizza place should not be missed! Blaze fast fires their pizza, making them crispy, and nicely cooked. You can customize your pizza, or choose from one of their specialty pizzas. They also have vegan cheese, and gluten free pizza. I got the BBQ chicken pizza, and it had mozzarella, Gorgonzola, chicken, BBQ sauce, onions, and banana peppers. You move with your pizza down the line, so they ensure the right ingredients are added. The staff was friendly, but clearly still working out the kinks. They also have salads. They have beer and wine, as well as soda and lemonade. I really like the blood orange lemonade. All of their dough is made fresh daily, and does not have preservatives. I will definitely be back! read more

My first time trying Blaze Pizza was on Pi day 2018, they did $3.14 pizza and the lines were long. The staff was very friendly and the place looked very clean. Unlimited toppings is best part of Blaze Pizza and generously spread.As far as the taste went,I ordered the signature BBQ chicken, I must say that the crust is thin and delicious, I was put off by the taste of chicken little bit maybe because I saw it being frozen looking. I would definitely go there again with friends and family and try other Signature pizzas or build my own. Great place to sit down, grab a thin crust pizza, quickly & all under $10-$12. read more

This is a super great build your own pizza place. Its delicious, fast, and very customizable. The atmosphere is pretty trendy, kind of like core life. Also, the service is great. They refer to you by name and ask you if the topping is good before they move on. Overall a fun and yummy read more

First of all the customer service is AMAZING and most of the employees are African American which I thought was beautiful to see!!! They all were super nice and friendly !!! Second of all... I'm not even a pizza person. But this pizza is DELICIOUS and soooo fresh. It's truly amazing. I got the red vine pizza and it was awesome I suggest getting shredded mozzarella cheese as well as the fresh mozz and adding onions!! It's so good. I will be back read more

Pretty good lunch place. Overpriced, but quick food & the people are friendly. The blood orange lemonade was great.

Pizza was just...ok. Didn't knock my socks off. Had the white pizza which had almost flavorless white sauce, and garlic from a jar. Fresh garlic is always way better, but it's basically a fast food joint so I guess I don't expect much. They should at least add buffalo chicken pizza- after all, we are in the 716 . read more

Let me first start off by saying that although this is my first time trying Blaze Pizza, I have heard of it and visited their competitor, MOD Pizza in Vienna, VA last year. Unfortunately I forgot what I ordered there so I can't make a direct comparison, as I would like to, but the next time I go there on a trip I will be sure to hit it up and make an immediate comparison. Speaking of which, a YouTuber mentioned that they think the primary difference between the two is that Blaze is saucier while MOD is cheesier. Maybe they're right in that while the pizza I had (Link In) was saucy, it wasn't overflowing with cheese like the one at MOD. Simple fix obviously. Now to get out of left field. The restaurant itself is modern looking, much like the other fast casuals in the plaza. As I said in another review that plaza is really stepping up its game and is now a destination for a quick bite to eat. As far as ordering and drinks are concerned, it's very similar to the layout of CoreLife next door, with a selection of tea/agua frescas/etc., but I just got tap water. I ordered the Link In with italian sausage, roasted red peppers, sauteed onions, mozzarella, and red sauce. They constantly ask you what you want on the pizza, which while I liked, I was in a rush and just wanted what the pizza on the menu said. They have quite a bit of cheeses, meats, etc., so I just got pepperoni. Definitely try to get a side salad with your pizza. They're somewhat basic, but really worth the extra few dollars. It's like chips and queso at Chipotle. -- On my second visit I got the white top pizza with sausage as suggested by Jamie M. below. When topped off with arugula and olive oil, you have a very tasty pizza that can't be beat. The difference today was that I got the $2 high rise crust. It literally elevated the pizza and gave it a lot of definition and volume. You will be pretty full after this and might want to consider grabbing a box that they have on the shelf. I also tried the cane sugar orange mango soda from the machine. It looks like sparkling water but tastes great. There's a ton of drink options and also beer and wine which will probably draw crowds on the weekends. -- Overall, this isn't a place I'll be going to every week because it's out of the way for me. But I could definitely see myself coming back after a workout or something. Really, I don't know how this area is missing chains like this. I understand the anti-chain mentality, but our local restaurants do very well too. There's room for both. read more

This place rocks! Your own personal wood fired pizza at a great price and with any toppings you want. I was pleasantly surprised when I came here at just how many topping options they have there. From unusual cheeses, to tons of different vegetables, this place has something for everyone. They are also extremely accommodating, and careful with gluten allergies as well. It's a quick in and out to build, cook, and grab your pizza to go, or there is plenty of seating in the restaurant to enjoy your pizza there. The quality is great and every ingredient on your pizza tastes fresh and not frozen or canned. I would recommend checking this place out if you're in the are and looking for a pleasant dining experience. read more

I stopped by Blaze Pizza yesterday because I had heard that they were doing a free pizza promo. I hadn't had good pizza in a while and free food is free food, so I stopped by. Others have spoken about pricing and the order style, so I won't have to focus on that. I normally can't have very good pizza from pizza places because I don't eat dairy, so I was pleasantly surprised that they had vegan cheese. That was already a few points in my book. I ordered pizza with vegan cheese on a high-rise crust (thicker crust) and topped it with a bunch of veggies. Not only did they have vegan cheese, but the person putting cheese on my pizza kept asking if I wanted more. I hate being that person so I said it looked fine, but she said I didn't look satisfied and she added a few more handfuls, which was very nice. When I asked for the vegan cheese, she also asked if I had wanted them to use clean gloves. That was a nice gesture, so for those who do like courtesy and maybe observe that level of strictness in regards to cleanliness, they did a great job. In general, they were just really nice there, even offering me a water cup without asking. Overall, great customer service. In terms of taste, it was very good and filling. The vegan cheese actually melts pretty well and the high rise has nice thickness to it. It was a very satisfying meal. I'm glad that I can add another restaurant to my rotation if I ever want it. It's not dirt cheap, but it's about the same price as Chipotle and offers a similar level of satiety, in my opinion. Definitely worth a meal here. read more

Visiting in the area and looked up the reviews for different restaurants with pizza. I am very very happy with the pizza. It tastes more like homemade than your standard pizza shop. Highly recommend. I will definitely come again when in the area read more

Ahhh yess nothing like biting into your pizza after picking it up and it oozing dough! I called no one answered it was snowing I wasn't going back out. The automated system says to fill out a help form online and someone will get back to you. Yeah never happened. The guy making he pizza sneezed like IN THE AIR. Pretty sad because I would eat at blaze all the time back homeZ read more

Just wanted to update with our recent trip using their app for the first time: We did pickup during COVID (you can still order in person, which we did not know) and I downloaded their app. I have an account but never used it to get flames. Downloaded the app, linked my account, and had a seamless ordering process. Restaurants like this tend to make me very anxious because they're so fast paced to get customers in and out of line, so even post-COVID, we will use the app to order and then eat it. It is so hard for the workers to hear at places like this too, so I bet they like these online/app orders more. We had our order set for 6 pm and it was done at 5:57. We got there early and waited inside, but they are pretty accurate with the timing. All the toppings and special instructions were followed, and the flames went right to my account afterwards. My family and I all agree that this is preferable to ordering in person. Highly recommend the app. read more

First time going here and it was pretty good! We probably didn't wait even 5 minutes after ordering for our pizzas to be cooked. I got a pizza with the red spicy sauce, but did not really find it spicy at all. The staff were very friendly. The music was a tad too loud for me to hear, but there is a very nice outside seating area that was put in. I'd go there again. read more

I've been getting pizza at the Boulevard location in Amherst NY since it opened. At first it was fantastic. For about the last six months, the service has steadily gotten worse. The front of the house is consistently understaffed. The staff that is there seems untrained and at times borders on discourteous to customers. There appears to be no shift or general manager onsite during the busiest hours of operation. My advice to whomever is fiscally responsible for this site is to get someone in this store before you loose the customers who like the food, but can no longer tolerate the poor service. You can count me as one of those. read more

Spent Saturday afternoon at Blaze Pizza & Shopping. This was our third time to Blaze since it opened. My daughter and I ordered a "Create your Own Pizza" & "Side salad" to share. We asked for classic red and spicy red sauce on pizza and pesto on crust.. We then layered pizza with Mozerealla Cheese, Goat Cheese, Spinach, red onion, artichokes, basil leaves, mushrooms, sea salt, seasoning, and drizzled balsamic. They offer Gluten free crusts, keto crusts and more. I like the Fountain drink area as well, with lemonade, pomegranate drink, pop, and other seasonal drinks. They don't offer plates, but will give you a cardboard box to eat out of. Plastic ware and napkins by drink area. Plenty of seating indoor and outside. Right next to blaze is an adorable outdoor area for kids and families with small kids picnic tables, holiday decor, large plastic connect four game and more. Oh, and by the way our pizza, side salad and 1 Fountain drink was $16.oo. Reasonably priced for lunch compared to other restaurants near by. Download Blaze App to build up reward points~ read more

My family tried Blaze Pizza for the first time and I was impressed! The staff by far was the best part because they we so sweet and courteous. Very well trained staff! My son loved that they made his pizza in front of him. The atmosphere was nice for a quick bite, reminded me of chipotle a bit. The pizza was good too, I got the Art lover and I loved it. My family enjoyed their pizzas too. We will definitely go back. Although it was cold outside when we went (March), it looks like they will have an outdoor patio when the weather warms up. read more

A) Your line can only make and cook so many pizzas at a time, why does the guy taking names cram as many pizzas as he can and force people into other people's personal space. B) I don't care how busy the place is it was extremely dirty, the bench the pizzas are made on, the floor in the kitchen (deep grout lines in the tile just holding onto hours of spilled ingredients) no napkins in any of the dispensers, water tap on the soda machine broken, trays piled everywhere. C) the food is flavorless and sloppily prepped. First and last time here - do yourself a favor and go to PI Craft across the street. Cleaner and better quality ingredients. read more

Delicious & quick! The main reason I'm reviewing is because cross-contamination is a major concern for me, and I appreciated how they all changed my gloves and used clean slicers before handling my food. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place has a great atmosphere! Very comparable to Pi Craft (right across the street). Recommend Pi if Blaze is busy, as it probably will be for the next month or so because it recently opened. Might be the new go-to place for lunch or if you're on a date (awwwww). Affordable, quick, and delicious! The atmosphere is modern with adequate seating and a large sized kitchen so you can watch your pizza cook over the open fire. You can get any type of sauces from normal red sauce to pesto along with a plethora of toppings. My pizza was done in less than 5 minutes, and was loaded with toppings! I can't stress enough how much they really piled the toppings on! However I recommend the high rise dough because the slices were extremely thin. They advertise that they're products are made from plants (not petroleum, didn't know cups and boxes were made from petroleum anyway). There is a cool outside seating area, with a fire going that would be great for warm summer days or nights! read more

Lebron James my expectations were low for a restaurant that had anything to do with you but holy cow you shocked me more with this disgrace then you did when you left Cleveland!! The service was a joke and run so horribly I couldn't believe it. Everyone was just standing around looking at each other while a line built up out the door. I don't blame the workers when the system for making the pizzas is clearly not effective. Train your team correctly and stop worrying about adding topping like "ghost-pepper chicken sausage" that no one would ever get. Pizzas not bad but so is every other build your own pizza place around these days. All and all it's what I would expect from a Lequeen James establishment. #lebitch read more

I am a huge fan of blaze and frequently go to the one in Toronto. When I was visiting the Niagara area, I went to this Blaze and was expecting the same quality of food. However I found that they rushed my order (the line was super long) so my pizza was not cooked long enough and the overall quality was just not as good. Too bad, maybe it was an off day. Would still recommend Blaze Pizza to all my friends! read more

I had heard they had a good gluten-free options and I was in the plaza this was located so I thought I would try them out. I got two pizzas one gluten-free and one regular pizza. I ate the gluten-free and my friend had the regular and both of us were not happy. The sauce tasted like tomato paste and the crust on the gluten-free pizza was weird it was the worst gluten-free Pizza I've ever had. My friend did not like his pizza either and in fact we only ate a couple slices of each respective pizza. With so many delicious options in Buffalo for pizza don't waste your money here read more

Went for the first time. It was eh. Nothing special. There are places around town that are definitely better. The pizza was ok, just nothing special. And the salads were literally some iceberg and toppings, romaine and toppings, not appeasing at all. Wanted to try the place, probably won't return. read more

My server Quinton made the experience better than I ever could imagine! Great pizzas made with love. Thanks Quinton!!
