Newark, NJ - we came here for a quick pre-show bite before a Sunday matinee at NJPAC since it was close by, and wow, was I surprised by how good the pizza is for a fast-casual chain! Backed by celebrity investors like LeBron James and Maria Shriver, the concept is an assembly-line approach to customizable artisanal-style pies. Think Chipotle, but make it pizza. Personal sized, thin crust pizza (6 slices) is built right in front of you in an open kitchen, then fired in an oven for 3 minutes. You can finish things off with drizzles of various sauces or a handful of arugula if you fancy extra embellishment. Choose a signature pie or build your own - I love that you can have any toppings for one flat price. For the allergen or diet conscious: gluten-free, cauli, and keto crusts are all available alongside the original and high-rise doughs. We also tried the protein-zza, a California-style chicken & veggie pizza made with cauliflower crust. I was fully prepared to be smug about detecting the alternative crust, but couldn't tell the difference at all. It was generously loaded with toppings, and the roasted garlic really made the taste pop. Fresh, vibrant flavors all around. We went on a Sunday so it wasn't too crowded and service was swift, and the pizzas came out beautifully. For a quick-serve franchise, this place delivered high-performance pies that defied my expectations. read more

Got this for takeout. I never had Blaze Pizza before but I always heard good things! The pizza came very quickly, and although it was not as fresh, it was still super satisfying.. - Spicy Pepperoni Pizza, (4/5): there was some Hot honey on it so it was slightly sweet. it was a bit soft, even when I heated it up but flavor was good - Cheesy Pesto Bread, (4/5): my favorite of the 2- I liked the pesto a lot! It paired well with the tangy marinara sauce I would order from here again, and maybe visit the location in person too! read more

Blaze Pizza - Salad Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Don't waste your money at the Broad st one. I'm not really sir what happened but they need to put whoever they had putting the pies together back on duty. They used to use fresh ingredients and never got it wrong. The last three times I've ordered I was very disappointed. Out of all the toppings I ordered I got cheese and spinach and it tasted old, as if someone didn't pick their order up and the just reheated and resold. It's a shame because this was my go to place. I feel just because we're in Newark doesn't mean you should skimp on quality. And it was only 11:30 am. read more

Blaze Pizza - Build Your Own Pizza (11-inch) - Salad Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Meh service. Staff is on the more nonchalant side and seems overwhelmed with online orders. Placing my order went smoothly. When I finished placing my order, I had to wait 5-10 minutes to pay. In that time, another customer placed their order, I had a phone call, and extra time to doom-scroll. After payment, I waited an additional 30 minutes for pizza to cook, and it never showed up. It was a red flag because Blaze takes 20 mins end-to-end, even on busy days. I waited so long that employees announced there was no eating in the dining room 1hr before closing. That defeated the trip to Blaze, so I asked for a refund. Funny enough, my pizza was hidden underneath the prep station the whole time fully cooked. If I had received it, it would've likely been cold; that would require a refire/refund anyway and extra time. This shows the store is inefficient, the need for more employees, and stronger customer service training. read more

Pretty standard Blaze Pizza. Food quality is good, and what you would generally expect if you have been to any other Blaze Pizza location. Placing orders through the app for my team, I really appreciated that they labelled each person's order with their name and item description on each box. Fast service. I personally wouldn't eat in here, but they do have tables if you want to eat in the establishment. read more

Man was this place popping for pi day! 11 inch pizza with unlimited toppings for $3.14, I'm in! The wait was around 1.5 hours. Was it worth it- moderately. I ordered a build your own with spicy tomato sauce, Riccota cheese, Parmesan cheese, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, roasted broccoli, basil, roasted garlic, fresh minced garlic, red onions, pesto drizzle, arugula - I think I killed it with the spice (should have left off the fresh minced garlic) so spicy but sooo good! It was cold as fuck today with snow snow snow so the 1.5 hour wait outside was brutal. But the staff here are fantastic, friendly, hard working and kept shit moving! read more

PICKUP REVIEW: At this point, I've ordered so many times from here in recent weeks that I created an account on blazepizza.com to earn flames for rewards. It's super easy to order pickup online from the website. The Newark location is quick also and the order is always waiting for me at the pickup area (when you enter, to the right side of the register). Plus, even though it's just a pickup, everyone behind the counter has been friendly and will help you out and hand you your order. I have not had a bad experience yet. Other notes - When ordering online, check out the 'ONLINE SPECIALS'... They also sell DIY pizza kits that you can make at home; one of these days I'm going to get one... Also, I'm a fan of the keto pizza crust (even if you aren't a keto person, it tastes good)... Recommended! read more

I love coming here the workers are so friendly and the food is good and fair 10/ 10 would recommend

Pretty decent pizza. I remembered I had won a coupon to come in for a free pie up until the end of the year that I won from a jersey city event. Being in that I'm never in Newark unless I'm randomly going to the courthouse for work or the airport I jumped on the opportunity when landing around dinner time this week. The set up is interesting. It's very much an assembly line like Chipotle or Dos Toros but it runs the same style of pizza as Ampersand pretty much. You can either do a 'make your own creation with unlimited toppings' or go for one of their already pre-made selections. Given that I was carrying a heavy bag and dead tired I just went with one of their pies that was already constructed - The Green Stripe (Pesto, chicken, red peppers, garlic, mozzarella, arugula). They ask if you want any alterations and I was like load it up on extra cheese. Toppings: Variety of sauces from marinara, spicy red sauce, white sauce, and garlic pesto. Tons of cheeses, meats, veggies: bacon, chicken, meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, salami, chorizo, ham, artichokes, variety of peppers, mushrooms, olives, pineapple, fresh herbs, spinach, etc. etc. I will say that I wasn't crazy about the texture of the chicken and it was kind of rubbery. I liked this crust better than ampersand's. It held itself better the next day and didn't turn too hard or stale being reheated. Slightly crispy but not overly crispy and thin crust. The pesto tasted amazing with the mozzarella. Ingredients could be higher quality and fresher maybe but else-wise I was pretty impressed. read more

Laila was so kind and professional! She greeted me with a smile and helped me customize my pizza perfectly. Her energy made my whole visit more enjoyable. Blaze Pizza needs more employees like her! read more

Not only do they have a gluten free crust option, but they are very careful about cross contamination. All the employees who touched my pizza changed their gloves and they used clean utensils and a separate pan for mine. I felt very confident eating here as someone with celiac. The pizza was also delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Been coming here for months here so this review is long due. I was looking to find a place which serves pizza with lactose free cheese for my bae and stumbled back on Blaze, we have since made this place on of our favorites. Great options for vegan, non vegan and regular pizzas...the ability to customize your pizza with those fresh ingredients is awesome. I brought my parents here and some friends, they loved the pizza as well. Overall a great place for pizza lovers with far better and healthier options as compared the major pizza chains. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews and try to avoid doing so but I had to say something. Went on 1/13 near closing. Understandable it was near closing but quality should not suffer. Pizza was made poorly with all the toppings just thrown together not spread evenly. Overlooked that but then what took me over the edge was biting into a rubber band. read more

This place was amazing! The pizza is fresh and 100 pct made to order. I had the half pizza and garlic knots combo. It was delicious!!! The employees were friendly and eager to please. The restaurant was clean and modern. It is only a block from NJPAC, so a perfect place to hit before or after a show! I will definitely go back when in the area! I hope to find other locations. read more

Big selection of toppings, crusts, and sauces. Has some really good spicy tomato sauce, so it's the only pizzeria where I'll buy a pizza with tomato sauce (usually go for creamy or pesto based sauces). First time I came however, the bottom of my pizza was burnt. Subsequent times the bottom weren't as burnt, or wasn't burnt at all. Despite the risk of the occasional burnt bottom, I think the selection is worth it. read more

Great pizza! The service was fast and friendly. I gave this a 4 star because it could use a bit of cleaning and updating on the inside. I ordered the pepperoni and my husband got the meat lovers. Will definitely come here again! read more

Great time here! The guy behind the counter was really nice. He drew a smiley face on my order form because it was my first time. I got the 1/2 pizza 1/2 salad combo. The caesar salad and make your own pizza were both fantastic. The salad had lots of cheese, and I could pick from a great variety of pizza toppings. I look forward to returning. read more

This is the first make-your-own personal pizza joint I've been to and already my most favorite. The idea on its own sounded so inviting, but I was quite amazed by the quality of its taste. It is a bit of a wait (~10-15 min) so you'd think you have enough time to pick what ingredients you want, but by the time I got to the counter I was winging it like crazy. My pizza still ended up pretty good (spicy red sauce, grilled chicken, artichokes, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, pineapple, spinach, and mushrooms). I liked that you could add whatever kind of drizzle too. There was buffalo, pesto, bbq, and one other. I chose buffalo and it was kind of spicier than I expected, but still delicious. The crust was thin and crispy at parts, but not burnt. If you get full easily, I'd suggest getting the combo (half a pizza + salad), although of course the full pizza is more worth the price. Will be coming back here next time I'm in Newark! read more

The young lady cashing ppl out ppl is rude. She shouldn't be dealing with customers if she dnt know how to speak to ppl. Nor should she be allowed to work with food and money with the same gloves. Definitely will miss the one in Livingston. read more

Love this pizza!!! Brick oven style, with different varieties of toppings. It's ready in about 15 minutes or less, love it

Fast ordering and a variety of toppings. I personally like mine plain with their spicy red sauce and it always hits the spot. This time I tried the pizza with fresh chopped garlic and it was really good. I also like that the crust is pretty thin. Overall it's a good and quick way to get your pizza fix. read more

This is my second time ordering from here and I am not pleased. The pizza was sloppily made and extremely soggy. The topping were thrown on the pizza and the chopped garlic was dumped on the pizza. Every bite was a chunk of garlic, it burned so bad. I also ordered two s'mores with my meal and they gave me brownies instead. read more

Blaze Pizza - Simple Pie (11-inch) - Salad Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Yes! Yes! Yes!! I live for blaze Pizzzaaaaaaaaaa!! So after staring a new job in Newark I've been so anxious to find some of my go to spots. I can now finally say I have my pizza spot!! The setup here is like most of the trendy higher end fast food places ( i.e. Chipotle). And just like Chipotle it's different options you choose from to personalize your pizza. Starting with the type of dough than sauce than the actual toppings ( cheese, veggies, meats). For a beginner like myself I was glad to see they had some signature pies to base mine off of because I was a little overwhelmed at first glance. I was meeting my mother for lunch and she's been here before so she knew she was going to get the white top and I decided on the meat lover. Both extremely good but in different ways. The white top was an Alfredo sauce with bacon on top and than arugula! The meat lover was the red sauce ( I didn't realize there was a spicy red till after ) mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage and red onions!! It's about 8 bucks per person which isn't bad because it a great size personal pie !! I paired it with their blood orange lemonade AHMAZIMG!! And I saw the desserts which looked heavenly the Brownie and the S'more Pie ! I was too stuffed to even try it but next time!! All around Phenomenal experience there 5 stars baby !! I read more

For my 100th review, I choose Blaze in Newark to review. Yes, for my 100th review! Which tells you how I feel about Blaze! I believe the only Blaze pizza I have yet to visit is the one in Clark. I have to say of ALL the Blaze chains in NJ the NEWARK location is the most dedicated team of hard working people I have encountered. I've read a few of these negative reviews and let me just say this, food service is hard. Very hard. People are picky, evil, mean, demanding and sometimes down right impossible. I frequent Blaze because, damn, I LOVE pizza. Particularly, this style of pizza. I'm pretty much a self labeled Pizza Snob. The last Blaze location I visited was the Livingston branch. It was a Living effin nightmare. I had bragged all day about Blaze to my coworker and convinced her to come with me on lunch to try it. I had explained the experience so she knew what to expect. Little did I know, I didn't know what to expect. It was horrid. I was personally embarrassed by the sloppiness of this location. Sauces mixed in together. No gloves while adding on toppings or cheese. Crap all over the floor. It was mortifying. I couldn't apologize for the terror my co worker experienced as I convinced her not to call the Dept. Of health on them. I had to make this up. I'm a foodie. A food reviewer working on her own food blog and recipe site. I was NOT going out like this in her eyes!! I told her the experience in Newark is ALWAYS awesome. Even when the line is around the corner and the wait is almost an hour because of how packed it is, it is still AWESOME. It is always fresh and way cleaner then the other locations. I credit the smooth sailing to the shift manager D-Money or Deion. He's always on top of his game. SB-Pretty mellow guy for the situations I've seen him in. I literally, on my last visit, had a irritating couple in front of me. What is the spinach for? What type of tomatoes? What's the oregano taste like? How many calories in the sea salt? Could you remove the oregano AFTER we said yes, put it on. I wanted to drop kick them both. Just being pure assholes. He kept his cool as he addressed them. I think I would have been noticeably irritated with them. #RantOver Anywho, My coworker said there was a huge difference in service, quality and cleanliness. She said she agrees that this location was the best vibe, taste and service. They smiled, they laughed, the had PERSONALITY which fits the BLAZE brand. She loved their fresh lemonades and I was ecstatic to include their Coconut Agua in my cup. I think all in all, the staff is awesome. I've gotten energy and smiles out of them on their 10th hour of fulfilling demands and being on their feet. I'm not excusing any attitudes but I will say this, sometimes, you get what you give. I've never been nice to any of that staff and gotten mean or attitude out of them. I think their team is dedicated to the brand. Making it a fun experience is what matters most. They always put in the effort. I love this crew! read more

I personally love the fact that they offer many topping for their Pizza but this location needs serious help. The line at any given time can have 10 people in it and the wait will literally be about 40 minutes. I recommend ordering online and picking up because it's way faster than standing in line. Even though they were super busy the staff was still friendly so that added the extra star because it's not easy to deal with people especially when they're angry and hungry. read more

Decent customizable fast food pizza. I liked that they had unique offerings to cater to all customers such as vegetarian chorizo or ketogenic crust.

I came in late night and couldn't be any happier with the service I was provided with. Nicki was absolutely a pleasure and made some AWESOME pies! I was making a pie for my boyfriend and they let me try different toppings and gave me suggestions on what would be good. I asked for extra mushrooms and they LOADED it up!!! The service was fast & friendly and I couldn't have been happier. I went to get rung up by Jeffrey who was just as much of a pleasure as Nicki! He was enthusiastic about his job and very politely up sold me on some desserts (rightfully so because they were incredible)!!! From the second I walked in the door the service was impeccable and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Working at blaze I can only imagine is super tiring and requires a lot of energy both physically and mentally so I truly appreciated the incredible service I received from both of them. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!!!! I will be back, over and over again, and I hope to see Nicki and Jeffrey each time I go. Thank you again read more

Blaze Pizza - Build your own - Salad Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Blaze is such a welcome edition to Newark! It's conveniently located near NJPAC, Prudential Center, and Penn Station. On a warm day, you could grab your pie and head across the street to Military Park. I typically start with one of their 8 pie ideas and then customize it. Tonights order: art lover (artichokes, mozzarella, ricotta, chopped garlic, red sauce dollops) with no ricotta, add roasted garlic, garlic pesto around crust, and drizzled with pesto when out of the oven. Soooo delicious! The pie is $8.25 and lasts me two (small) meals. The Blaze experience takes about 5 minutes if there isn't a line. With a line, it's maybe 7 minutes from start to finish. When you pay, ask for a drink and fill your cup with the blood orange lemonade. Make sure you pay with the app and earn flames towards a reward! While Blaze is pretty perfect in my eyes, I wish there was some consistency when it comes to the pride their employees take while building my pizza. I want them to build my pie the same way that they would build their own...with love. I am almost always happy, but I've had two occasions where my pie was thrown together. P.S. - They recently added salad. read more
