I love this place. This is great for thin crust pizza lovers. I love how you can pick whatever toppings you want and are not charged for each one. The staff here are fast and efficient. This place does get busy so be prepared to stand in line. I highly recommend putting on less veggies on your pizza as it tends to get soggier the more you put on. Lastly their agua frescas are a good combo to have with your pizza. read more

Blaze Pizza - My masterpiece - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The pizza is delicious, given that this is a fast-food joint and you get to choose whatever toppings you want and it's $9. I've come here several times and the pizza itself has been consistent and yummy. On food alone, I'd give this four stars. However, now that this Blaze location has been open for several months, service has definitely slipped. "Fast fire'd pizza" ? Fast it is not. The staff are now lackadaisical, working slowly and chatting with their friends. The line moved so slowly I considered abandoning my spot and going to Chipotle down the street instead. The toppings area was messy, so that the toppings containers had the traces of other toppings mixed in. An hour before closing there was no more spinach. The floor was dirty, and a customer who appeared to know the staff was allowed to simply wander into the kitchen for several minutes. read more

This is a good option for a quick but filling lunch by Loyola! My coworkers and I come here sometimes, and I love all the toppings and sauce options. The cashiers are friendly, and the pizza is pretty good! I recommend it for an affordable option near campus! It could also maybe be two lunches as the pizzas are pretty big! read more

The place is pretty large, open for crowns of people coming through, the employees are nice to talk to, the restroom were only big enough for two people ( at least for the male one) big place small restroom not a good combination to have, the food it self was on different sides for me, the pizza had that take a bite and the taste would be gone in two or three seconds, good but not long lasting, the smore was amazing to have it was just on point. But the price for it all was not in my range, it was overpriced for what I got. In conclusion, it's an alright place but I don't see myself coming back here more often maybe when am around the area. read more

This is a chain, so obviously have to take the experience with a grain of salt. You get what you pay for right? It is a fast food-ish joint with possibility to sit in/or outside as they have a small patio. Located in an up and coming Loyola campus neighborhood of Chicago you will be surrounded by a lot of Yuppies and coeds as you enjoy your pizza. I generally do not review fast food joints, but I had to give this location a shout out. It is in a busier part of the city and I have been here several times and never seen a line. I haven't really noticed it until I was actually sober for one of my visits and paid attention to the team doing their magic. Holy cow was I impressed, the moved with the speed of a Cheetah pouncing on its pray in the middle of the African peninsula. I couldn't believe my eyes, I am not sure if Blaze recruits former pick pockets or if their training occurs at a special forces facility as these guys' sleight of hand to put ingredients on the pizza and to get the process moving was so incredibly fast I wasn't ordering fast enough and felt like I should higher Eminem to rap it out for me so I could keep up. Busta Rhymes probably orders pizza from here over the phone and they don't miss an ingredient. We're talking a whole new level of fast food. The oven is the only thing that slows them down, otherwise you'd be stuffing your face in thirty seconds or less, take that s**** dominoes. read more

Quick, cheap, and customizable pizza. I think this place will be a big hit for the college students at Loyola. If you want something more Chicago or creative, probably not the place for you. That being said, a creative idea and a good place to grab lunch when nearby. read more

This is by far my most favorite blaze. The customer service is outstanding and makes me want to keep coming back! The manager is just so friendly and pleasant to each and every single one of his customers. I wish I knew his name so I can give him kudos but I hope he reads this and knows how much his excellent customer service matters. He also checks in on each table to ask how was everything and he even gave me napkins (because I didn't think to grab any to eat my pizza lol). The food is always delicious, the toppings are fresh, and they churn out orders very quickly. It's also very clean! I've been to some where I had to leave because it wasn't the cleanest but this place is stellar! They also give you a free finish at the end which is greatly appreciated. Also free parking in the back of the building! At any rate Blaze on Sheridan, keep being awesome! read more

I got such bad food poisoning from here I was literally hospitalized. not coming back

We had an hour to kill between a wedding ceremony and reception, and we knew it would be fancy food and we're more...pizza people. Boyfriend had been to the Blaze at Old Orchard and swore by it because they have an unlimited toppings option. The service was friendly, and they seem to have worked out most of the kinks as far as how quickly they prepare your food. I opted for the high rise dough with a single topping. I got the spicy red sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, with the ranch topping. Boyfriend got the regular crust, and went with a spicy meat lovers dream pizza. It's a little pricy for a (9 inch?) pizza, but that's the cost of picking your own toppings I suppose. read more

First time I've ever eaten here and I found not one but two strands of hair in my pizza. I called and they offered me a free pizza, but not to refund my money. read more

My son and I really enjoy this pizza. I told him I want my piece of well done and it is great. Is it the best pizza in town? No, but it's okay period for a fast food pizza they do an okay job. I really like the service that I get when I go in here and how quickly we get our pizza. Go Blaze Pizza. read more

Again, sometimes a "buy one get one free" coupon isn't worth the stop. Burnt crust. Tasteless pizza. Thick burnt crust was like eating cardboard, after stripping off the black edges. Won't be back. read more

Great location. Small with less resources than the other chains but they always are kind and make good pizzas! Paul and his team are awesome :) read more

As a college student, this is a fast and affordable meal always. My personal favorites are either the barbeque chicken or the build your own pizza. Rambler Bucks work too!! The wait is never too long & the workers are always kind. Yummy pizza!! read more

Blaze Pizza - 2 build your owns, and then a bbq chicken pizza - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have never had a bad experience here personally. I have visited a handful of times due to the location and just loving the concept of build your own pizza. If you don't time it right there could be a bit of a wait, but it has always been worth it in my opinion. I always have done a build my own but the menu options always look tasty, maybe I will branch out. It is always warm and I have always had every ingredient done just right as far as my tastes are concerned. I have never had terrible customer service experiences, but lukewarm would usually be the case. Just tired looking (I assume Loyola students) who aren't there to be your friend. All that is fine, but it does take some of the fun way from the interesting restaurant with a fun atmosphere. However, when I have been there it's almost a guarantee to have a table of employees sitting to the side on a break loudly complaining about another team member which isn't very nice, respectable or professional. At any rate, the food is yummy and I have always felt like I have got my moneys worth at the end of the day. read more

I live one mile away, it came freezing. I couldn't track the order because the driver listed it as arrived about 15 minutes before it actually showed up. Two of the slices did not have cheese and there was one mushroom on the whole pizza. I have had a decent experience at this place so I have it two stars, but definitely won't be ordering again read more

Nope I will probably not come to this one again. I waited for 10 minutes by the ingredient line before someone asked me if I have even been served yet. Then she spends another 5 minutes to finish stocking her inventory before getting my thick dough. By now another customer has passed me with another worker. She doesn't spread the sauce or the cheese to the crust either. And it ends up being one sided as in the pictures. I been to better blaze in evanston read more

Blaze Pizza - Didn't spread any of the ingredients around. - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You got to be kidding I just spent 30 dollars for a small pie tasting the same as dominos maybe a little better than little Ceasars Staff seemed confused and not clear with the system I can see people trying once but not returning Protein seemed frozen packaged like something from subway...I know it wasn't fresh! Save your money go to other pizza places in Chicago read more

I go to the Blaze Pizza in Village Crossing very often. I have a gluten allergy and so far, they've never gotten me sick. First time at this location was yesterday, and not even half through my pizza, I ran to the bathroom with the worst stomach ache. They asked if I needed a glove change, great. But at this location, they don't use a different sauce container and ladle. They pat the same ladle on the pizzas all day, not good. The other locations don't do that. Then when they went to cut my pizza, they went to do it with the same pizza cutter they used on my boyfriend's pizza that contained gluten. I had to stop them and tell them not to do it. I think the staff here needs to be retrained on allergies. The staff was nice, but definitely not worth going back to spend the rest of my night sicker than a dog. read more

Blaze Pizza - burnt - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Bobby, Jarred and Cristal are so very nice at this location, awesome pizza and great atmosphere! Would highly recommend:)

I wouldn't order from Blaze pizza again for all the tea in China. THEY CONSTANTLY PROVIDE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. My husband and I had a bad customer experience when our pizzas were delivered extremely late, and cold to boot. When we contacted the restaurant, the Area Manager, Jeremy Dobbie, sent his business card and a letter, along with 2 buy one get one free pizza coupons, to be redeemed online or through the app. My husband I had been hesitant to use them, but decided tonight we would give it a go. After waiting for 40 minutes our driver called. GREAT! We thought our pizzas were out front. NOPE! Instead our driver called to tell us HE LOST OUR PIZZAS!!!?? How do you lose pizzas??? Seriously?! No further explanation, just, sorry, I lost your pizzas. What a total joke. Then they wanted to know if we wanted to replace our order. NO! Our pizzas must be with Buzz Lightyear and Cowboy Woody on Pizza Planet. Save yourself a headache, tell everyone you know this place is growing crappier by the minute and order from ANYWHERE but here. read more

I have never been there before so decided to stop in for pizza. The guy behind the counter was very nice and before I ordered the pizza I asked someone sitting there if the pizza was good and he responded with yes. I should've known better because it is part of Loyola, college students, who at that point in life have not acquired a very good taste for good good. Would I ever go there again? NO, I would not the pizza was not good, when I go for pizza I should know better than to go for a fly in the wall place versus a real Italian pizza. read more

Service can be slow and they have a tendency to burn the pizzas (maybe it's a training issue? the River East location is usually on point). Also, service can be hit or miss... A lot of times you can tell that staff DO NOT want to be there. read more

Glad to have this in the neighborhood. It's not the best pizza in the world, but it's better than most, and it's fast. What drew me in was a sign which promised a pizza cooked in 180 seconds. I had the seconds to spare, and was pleased with the results. I've been back twice since. Blaze uses the same ordering style as Subway and Chipotle where you walk down the line and select the toppings you want. The ingredients are good quality and the spicy tomato sauce is great! The service is good too. Hopefully they keep the vibe going. One miss for me are the salads. They offer a beet salad, for example, but it's more lettuce than beets. Another disappointment was the gluten free crust which was $3 extra. It tasted alright, but it lacked the crunch of the wheat version. Maybe it was because they use a silicone disk to bake the gluten free crust on so that it doesn't come in contact with the wheat contaminated oven. Whatever the case, I'm sure wheat sensitive individuals can't afford to be as picky as I am. read more

BEST BLAZE EXPERIENCE EVER... & I'm a gluten-free diner who frequents several Blazes (they are my G-F pizza go-to) But this place had the nicest service and made me the best pizza I've eaten in a long long time (they really piled on the toppings and everything was distributed really evenly, pizza was perfectly done)... & when something was left off of my order they went above and beyond to make it right ! Yay Loyola Blaze !!! Sad you aren't in my neighborhood but will stop in whenever I'm up that way! :D read more

This pizza is pretty darn good. When you order your pizza, eat the pizza right away because if you don't it doesn't taste the same. All in all.. the pizza is so good ... I would defined come back again. read more

Pretty good! I got a coupon in the mail for a free pizza and figured I would try it out. The employees seemed cheerful and service was very fast. I had the 'Link In' specialty pizza and it was good - nothing particularly outstanding, but a sufficient pizza. Would be a good spot for lunch on a weekday if you work nearby. read more

$8.95 for a build-your-own pizza with unlimited toppings is a fantastic deal, especially when the pizza is ready 2 minutes after it's thrown in the oven. The pizza is light, fast and flavorful. Would definitely come back, especially for the spicy sauce. I showed up close to closing time when the line was light, but I could imagine it being a nightmare when it's busy. read more

We had a great experience here. Our family likes build your own pizza restaurants so we were not surprised to find the food to our liking but what really set this restaurant apart was the excellent customer service. Every single employee including the manager went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. We appreciated very much! read more

The build your own pizza is priced at under $9 and allows you to pick and choose from two dozen or so toppings. Ready to eat in a few minutes. Large enough for one hungry person. Get a small salad and you have dinner to two. The pizza is not equivalent to the higher priced sit down restaurant brick fired style pies. The dough is off a little, chewie. Cheese is about average quality. They also have beer and wine, and pre-made salads. For the low price I'd say it is good fast-food pizza. A good choice if you are in a rush. read more

I thinkk this is the best pizza i have tried in town. Thin and yummi. Totally recommend it!!!

Not only is the food 10/10, but staff is absolutely amazing!!!! This will always be my favorite restaurant, and I can never say enough things about the staff. John, Levi, Ashanti and Mireya are always there to accommodate me and put a smile on my face. Love this restaurant, especially this location. Thank you blaze!!!!! read more

I love blaze pizza, but I will never be back to this location again! The customer service was horrible, I came here the other day to enjoy a pizza with my friends and kids. We were sitting down for about 15 min, when we were told VERY rudely that we "need to wrap it up." She didn't ask us how our meal was, didn't smile or be friendly, just "wrap it up." I would put 0 stars if possible. Will never be here again!!!!! read more

The Service here from an employee was poor I was confused with the menu and all she did was raise her voice and give me attitude. Honestly my feelings are hurt I asked a simple question I didn't asked to be treated with the disrespect I experienced today,I'll make sure to tell the manager or Blaze organization about what's going on there. But other than feel unwelcome he the food is very fresh and I would recommend it,not the Loyola campus but the one on Belmont read more

Management contacted me after I submitted online complaint through Blaze's website, apologized for the 3rd party unmasked delivery guy and adjusted my order total. I am satisfied with how this was resolved and will order again. The food is good and it's fast delivery. read more

I love coming to blaze since it's a quick pizza spot near campus. However the staff seem like they don't want to be there. And the last time I was there one of the staff was extremely rude to me and my friend because we didn't hear our names called out over the blaring music... Our names sound really similar- "Emily" and "Lily" so they accidently switched our pizzas up which worked out because I wanted ranch on my pizza anyways. And when my friend mentioned that her pizza was the other one on the cooling rack the lady at the register said "maybe if she would have come the first time her name was called this wouldn't have happened" LIKE WHAT. I have worked in customer service for 6 years and I would never say that no matter how frustrated I was from calling a name 3 or 4 times. Geez. read more

If you're gluten free, don't bother. The crust is really gross. It's super thin and they don't really do a good job with it.

Fast food, but the good kind. Ingredients are super fresh. I'm becoming not such a big fan of the make-your-own trend. I think someone who knows what they are doing should be selecting the ingredients, but I have confidence in my pizza picking skills. Anyway, I haven't screwed it up here yet. Love the blood orange lemonade and I don't want to know how many calories are in it read more

I had a pizza delivered tonight that was 30 minutes late, cold and had none of the protein toppings I ordered. The Blaze website has a glitch and I can't submit a complaint and the store phone had no option for me to talk directly with the staff. More than anything I'd like my money back, extremely disappointed read more
