    Build Your Own Pizza (11-inch)

    If blaze pizza doesn't have any fans I'm dead. "Why would you go to blaze if you live in Chicago where there's so many other great places?" Yeah there are great places if you want to wait 30+ minutes or have a soggy underdone crust or pay $30 for a medium pizza plus an extra $3 for each additional topping (most often all of the above). Blaze Pros: - ready in under 10 minutes - $12.99 for 11 inch pizza with UNLIMITED toppings - friendly staff who cook my pizza to perfection - to go boxes are half the size of a normal box so you don't have to take home a giant box for 2 slices of pizza (blaze pizza is a friend to the environment) - the crust is a true thin crust - so many amazing deals through their app (big fan of loyalty rewards) Blaze Cons: - literally none I u blaze Blaze has scrumptious pizza, is conveniently located between west loop and the loop, is always very clean, and has plenty of seating if you want to enjoy your food at the restaurant. The employees are always so nice and helpful. My personal recommendations: - light cheese - extra well done makes it perfectly crispy (like almost burnt) - the roasted garlic - if you can, eat the pizza there while it's hot - if you're feeling a drink mix half & half sparkling water with their blood orange lemonade (half the sugar/calories but definitely still sweet enough) - if you have an air fryer you should air fry your leftovers until the cheese is bubbling it's

    Cinnamon Bread

    I can't speak to the service or ambiance because I ordered delivery on GrubHub. I will say that when you order pizzas for delivery, you can usually expect an hour long wait. I decided to pick this because it gave me a 20 min delivery time estimate. I was skeptical of it that meant it wouldn't be that good, but I was starving so I went with it. FOOD: - The s'more pie was ok. I like s'mores for melted marshmallows and this wasn't melted which isn't my thing. - The pizza was incredible. I was extremely impressed. The dough was so soft and it was very thin. It was very high quality for fire-cooked pizza that was made quickly - The cinnamon bread was INCREDIBLE. If you liked the cinnamon sticks that Pizza Hut used to have, these are a million times better. I ate the whole thing. Fun fact: While researching Blaze Pizza afterwards, I found out LeBron James is an investor in Blaze Pizza.

    The service was quick and efficient. The pizza is a perfect size for a single person (granted I eat a lot). I've never eaten in the restaurant but it looked clean.

    Build your own pizza

    Blaze is a great spot for a quick coal-fired pizza. A pizza and cheesy bread will last me 2-3 meals. Here's my build your own (BYO) pizza topping choices: original crust, classic red sauce, mozzarella cheese, ricotta on half, pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, roasted garlic. After the pizza came out of the oven I asked for an olive oil drizzle and arugula on top. Sometimes I'll get the pizza with red sauce and a pesto drizzle on top for more flavor, but I didn't this time since I got the pesto cheesy bread. The pizza and cheesy bread both came out in about 10-15 minutes. No line on a weeknight. Price came out to about $17 with tax. Overall I'm a fan of the BYO pizza concept, like Pieology or Mod Pizza. One thing that differentiates Blaze is they offer roasted garlic as a topping, which gives a great depth of flavor. I like the BYO option so that I can load it up with toppings, but they also have pre-set pizzas you can order if you find it a hassle to name each ingredient you want. They have gluten free options (cauliflower crust) and dairy free options (vegan cheese) as well.

    White top + spinach and pesto - my faveee
    Chris M.

    White Top MVP. I've had numerous of their other premades, but I almost always get the White Top (with pesto drizzle and spinach on occasion) and always get launched into my happy place for the duration of the meal. Seriously, every time I take the first bite, I think to myself, "man this is a good pizza." I'll admit I wasn't a believer of the white sauce at first, but you have to try it! It's like Alfredo sauce. The White Top may not be the healthiest thing (creamy sauce and bacon bits) but if you're going to a pizza joint, chances are you won't mind. If you're more of a red sauce kind of person (and like spicy), the spicy tomato sauce is amazing! It's actually spicy, which is why it's amazing. Note that the premades are the same price as the build your own, so you're free to add as many toppings as you want to a premade if you want to add some flair or just feel like you're not getting your money's worth. Other tidbits: line is always long at peak lunch hours but goes fast, no line for dinner, plenty of indoor seating, outdoor seating, good service. Note that when it's packed, you have to wait in a crowd of people by the soda fountain so make sure to keep your ears open for when they call your name.

    Outside Patio

    What A Great Idea Of Building Your Own Pizza. You are able to select your sauce, meat and any toppings you can think of on your piszza. This location is very clean. The employees are usually friendly with smiling faces. They greet you cheerfuly once you open thw door. Its like Chipotle Only you get to create and build your own pizza with various toppings. I had a pizza with a Spicy Sauce which had a bit of a kick to it. But it was delish despite of a little heated flavor. My toppings was top with sausages, spinach and a hint of spices sprinkle on top. Once you have create your master piece it is handed off to another employee. The pizza is placed inside this Big Kettle Oven that cooks your pizza until its nice and crispy around the edges. Its cool to watch your pizza being cooked in front of you The prices and quality isn't bad. They even have a nice outside seating patio on the front for you to enjoy the beautiful weather.

    My personal creation......

    This is where pizza meets Chipotle. Well actually Subway started the 'build your own' meal craze (but Chipotle receives all the credit). Blaze uses this same approach for building your own pizza. With the exception of the crust, every other ingredient is selected by the customer. From the sauce to the seasoning the choice is yours. They have all fresh ingredients and with the 'build your own' pizza you select as many (or few) as you want. They do have some standard pizzas available but why would you come here for that? The staff is super friendly and helpful. On my first visit I appreciated them asking if it was my first time and then guiding me to the process. The person who helped me was extremely patient as I went down the line deciding what I wanted. After building your pizza, they put it blazing fire oven and 180 seconds later your name is called to pick up your pizza. Both times I've been here I ate my pizza in their dining area (which has a cool and casual feel to it) which allowed me having my pizza almost immediately after it came out of the oven. The flavor was amazing; extremely fresh. Unfortunately on both visits I did not have any leftovers so I cannot comment on how it is when warmed up the next day. If Blaze is in your area and you have not checked them out; shame on you. Get moving. And if you happen to visit a city that has a Blaze (as I did), be sure to check them out. You will not regret it. As it says on the 'Blaze' website: "Enjoy the rest of your day."

We ordered the pepperoni deep dish and the pepperoni tavern style. The deep dish arrives in a cast iron pan, featuring caramelized crust that edges on burnt for a perfect, crispy crunch. The base is thick and doughy, layered with some mozzarella, a tasty sauce, and slightly charred pepperoni. The tavern style provides a nice contrast. Served cut into squares, it has a solid thin crust that holds up nicely under some melted cheese and loads of flat pepperoni. This remains my absolute favorite deep dish in Chicago, and I go anytime I'm in town visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because walk-in wait times get incredibly long.

We did have to have the large booth cleaned as there was pop on the seats and lots of crumbs in the corners of the booth. Kinda not so cool when we got there at 11:30, shortly after they opened. We ordered a small salad, a large pan pizza (this is not deep dish people...it's more like a round Detroit style pizza) w/just cheese and a large tavern style w/half sausage and half pepperoni w/the pepperoni on top of the cheese. Service was good, if not slow. Of course, you have to wait for the pan pizza, but we knew that. The tavern style came out first, just as we ordered it and piping hot. While the pizza was good, the crust wasn't as crispy as we care for. It was super cheesy...so we got some good cheese pull there. The pan came out and looked good, but when it came to cheese pull, it left a lot to be desired. The caramelized crust is good, but the pan pizza was nothing that blew our socks off. Decent, yes, but not that noteworthy. Would i go back?? All i can say is i wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if i was near in a pinch, it would suffice.

The meatballs are flavorful and filled us up until we get our pizza. We picked the Malnati's Chicago classic - medium. The butter crust is really good and the cheese to meet ratio is balanced. While it is deep dish - it didn't feel like it's super thick, I think the butter crust was the difference. It was quiet when we arrived and we were seated in the dining area by the back in the ground level. There was only 1 group and another couple when we arrived so it wasn't loud. I'm sure when it's peak hours it'll be more festive and busy. Great first meal - order some starters if you're hungry.

We also shared the seafood pizza, duck prosciutto pizza, cup and char pepperoni pizza, and the gnocchi. All three pizzas were delicious, with very thin and crispy crusts. The seafood pizza came with a soup or broth that you could pour over it, which was nice and it also came with so much seafood. The cheese was slightly firm, but the pizza was still flavorful and enjoyable. The duck prosciutto had a noticeable duck aroma, melty cheese, and a rich, savory flavor. The cup and char pepperoni pizza was satisfying as well, especially the pepperoni with its crisp, curled edges. The gnocchi was another standout. It was satisfyingly chewy with a great texture and bold flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was light, balanced, and not overly sweet. Overall, the food was delicious and the waterfront setting made for a lovely dinner. I just wish we had been seated at a more comfortable table for our party size.
