    Smore

    Another stop at this Blaze Pizza in San Clemente because their awesome promotion got me convinced it's a bargain. $25.99 for 2 build-your-own 11" pizzas, 2 small drinks (highly recommend their blood orange lemonade . It's both sweet and tart) and 2 desserts (I opted for the warm smores). Always appreciate good service, especially since I've became a regular customer in the recent months. Case, the manager and Gelsey were polite and professional. Their smiles were genuinely happy.

    TL;DR: I should have gone to Subway instead! I recently earned an offer from Blaze Pizza for a $5 11" pizza since I hadn't been in a while. I also earned an offer from Subway for a $6.99 footlong sandwich. Between the two, I chose Blaze Pizza since a $5 pizza only comes once in a blue moon. I chose to redeem this offer at the San Clemente Blaze Pizza, which is located in the Outlets at San Clemente, right off the 5 freeway. Blaze Pizza is adjacent to Avenida Vista Hermosa, but you can also take the Avenida Pico exit to get to the outlet mall, which is on the opposite end of the huge parking lot. I came at about 8 PM, and no joke, the outlet mall felt like a ghost town! I could have sworn it was way busier when I stopped by a few years ago during the COVID days, but times have changed, and maybe the outlet mall gets less traffic these days? I barely saw anyone in the outdoor mall, and when I arrived at Blaze Pizza, there was only one other customer, but he had ordered his pizza to go, which left me as the only customer inside for some time. An employee (Patrick?) made my pizza, but he was seriously the most lifeless and dull Blaze Pizza employee I've ever witnessed to this day. Like his level of energy was commensurate with the level of activity going on in the mall that foggy night. He literally skimped on every topping I asked for on my pizza, and I should have seen it coming when I saw him add a minimal amount of garlic pesto sauce, which I didn't even taste at all! I could have asked for additional portions of everything, but I didn't feel comfortable with how zapped and vapid Patrick's demeanor was. I was afraid he would have groaned or something if I asked for extras of all the toppings I asked for. After paying for my pizza, I asked him how long it'd take, and he estimated about 6 minutes. Yup, that was accurate and also the only good thing about Patrick's service that evening. I also asked for a water cup, and he simply pointed towards them in front of the register. I set down my water cup and receipt on a table in the far corner by the restrooms to try to get some sanitizer there, but yuck, that table was pretty sticky! To make matters worse, the sanitizer dispenser was out of sanitizer. Luckily, they had another one by the pickup counter, which I used to clean my hands before eating my pizza. When I heard my name called, the girl who was finishing my pizza asked if I'd like some extra drizzles. I went with Buffalo and Ranch drizzles. They also had an option for arugula on top, which I couldn't say no to. I saw a sign that said they only offer "to go" boxes if you order "to go". I had already told Patrick I was willing to eat inside, but I still got a "to go" box. Okay? lol She also offered some parmesan and red pepper flakes, which I initially appreciated until she forgot to give them to me. Why even offer them if you were just going to forget them a minute later? lol she did give me two packets of each, but I only added one packet of each to my pizza. And let me tell you, even if I had added all four packets, it still wouldn't have done any good in enhancing the taste profile whatsoever. I strategically sat near a napkin dispenser for ease of access to them in case the pizza got overly greasy. The pizza did get pretty greasy, but I wouldn't really call it overly greasy. However, the charred bits on the underside of the pizza did stick to my fingers and likely caused me to enjoy the pizza less after each slice. That may have also explained why the last few toppings I ate on my pizza tasted kind of funny. The pizza still tasted good enough that I'm not giving 1 star to this Blaze Pizza even though the vibes were more dreary than upbeat. I especially liked how crispy the crust was, but the crust was thinned out so much that in conjunction with the skimpy toppings, it felt like I only ate half of the pizza I'm used to getting at the other locations. I was okay with eating a lesser pizza since I have been keeping an eye on my weight, but if I were super ultra voracious, I would have considered getting something from Asada Cantina + Kitchen, located just three doors down from Blaze Pizza, afterwards to satiate my appetite. There is ample seating inside the restaurant, and there's also an outdoor patio if you'd like to dine al fresco. In front of the front door was a signicade advertising Blaze Pizza's Pi Day. This year, you have to buy a pizza at regular price in order to get a (second) pizza for only $3.14. In the past, you'd just have to purchase one pizza for $3.14. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with my visit to this Blaze Pizza that, like I said in the first sentence of this review, I almost wish I had gone to a Subway instead. I'll still patronize Blaze Pizza, but I no longer have a reason to visit this location ever again after such an abysmal abomination of one of my favorite foods, not to mention the overall dull service and atmosphere here.

    Yikes. Based off of others reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks the owner needs to get their establishment, food preparation, and employee customer service under wraps ASAP. First off, this location is so underprepared, they seem to turn off accepting online orders. Because of this, I can never place my order ahead of time. Going in store to order, my friend and I were the only customers in there. To begin, there were four employees on shift. The boy who started helping us seemed like it was his first day. He definitely needed help and his other coworkers out on the floor left him to fend for himself. I felt bad for him, honestly. One standing in the corner, one left to the back, and another sitting on top of the machine on her phone. Wow, we should have turned around right there but we were on our lunch breaks and desperately needed food. We ordered the 10.99 pick two special and stood in there for 30 minutes while the boy tried to figure out how long to cook it while his coworkers gazed around aimlessly/or were on their phones. When our pizzas were done they boxed them up without asking if we wanted any drizzle or letting us know they were ready. No eye contact, no communication, just silence and uneasiness. My pesto garlic cheesy bread arrived with no pesto or garlic and I had to ask them to add it, which the guy smirked and rolled his eyes at me, as if he couldn't do his job properly. My friend ordered the cinnamon bread, and they had ran out of the icing to go on top. The girl manager who, I can't even believe I have to say this, was itching her butt, who was also just on top of the machines on her phone, then without gloves started touching the food service area in an attempt to find the icing. She sent someone to the back to grab a piping bag of icing. She then took five minutes attempting to open it with her hands, scissors, knife, and then took it to the back to do who knows with it. Honestly such disgusting service could barely stomach our food. To whoever owns this place, please, please care about your business a little more. Orange County doesn't need any more restaurants failing their paying customers when we have so many better options

    Meh. I haven't been here in so long and I'm not sure I'll be back. We used to love coming here. The lines would be long, but we would wait. I was craving just a regular woodfired pizza. Made an online order and initially we started to order the build your own, which was $14 but there was a $10 pizza and drink special so we opted for that. I really miss having the red vine on the menu. I'm gonna have to kind of piece that one together someday However when I arrived to pick up my order, it looked like the employees were kind of goofy behind the counter. It also was looked dirty inside. The drink station was wet and dirty. The tables also did not look clean and the one I sat at while I waited was definitely not clean. There was no warmth or welcome when I approach the counter. I actually had a question about the menu and the female with the dark hair just gave me a two word answer. Additionally, I request requested verbally in person that the Pizza be cooked a little more than the average 3 1/2 minutes. It wasn't the pizzas were hot in the box and I took a look at them before I left the store and they were sparse with the toppings that we ordered. When I got home to actually eat the pizza, the marinara sauce tasted spicy or spoiled not quite sure, but definitely spicy as if pepper was in there or chili pepper and it was the most unenjoyable pizza I've had recently. So you could see why I probably would not come back. I really did manage my expectations. It didn't even meet the $10. I paid for each pizza. I'd be even more annoyed that I paid 14.

You order at the counter down below and they call your food as each item is ready. Pizza came out first so we started there. Not my favorite pizza. Very doughy and soft, the sauce is a little sweet. My 13/14 year old LOVED the pizza so who am I to criticize. Next came the baked wings. Ask for them well done so they come out crispy and yummy. I appreciate that these are not fried and seed oils. These were the gem of the meal. Only thing I would change is the freezing cold wing sauce they put on the side from the refrigerator. But def a winner. Next came out the salad, we got the port salad with roasted butternut squash, grilled portobello's, Argus and loads of blue cheese. This salad was FIRE!!! The only knock is they don't make their own dressing so you get a little side of plastic canister of Ken's salad dressing, which is a decent dressing but full of canola and soybean oil next time I would probably bring my own dressing or just squeeze some lemon on it and put some olive oil that I brought with me, but that's just me being picky. It's a damn good salad. I wish it didn't come out 30 minutes after i ordered. It was 12pm so I didn't have any beer, my mistake I'm sure. Consensus: I would come back for wings and salad for sure, the pizza needs some work.

Tonight we had a large pepperoni and tomato pizza, Caesar salad, beer buddies and buffalo wings. If you're not familiar with the process, you order at the counter on the lower level. And they'll call your name. Beer is served at the bar and soft drinks. You can order at the counter and their soft stations on two levels. There is street parking but also a lot on the upper level in back. Great for families as they have a small arcade and they have sports usually playing depending on the season Pizza was pretty decent although they put the toppings underneath the cheese. This was the pepperoni and the tomato. The tomatoes were scolding hot. Next time I would definitely ask for the toppings to be on top. Beer buddy always a classic. Caesar salad was pretty basic and the wings were probably the worst part of the meal. I noticed that they use the pizza oven to cook the wings. I probably would've asked for them to be run through twice. They were just very soggy and the buffalo sauce it wasn't that it was spicy. It was almost oddly stringent tasting. The five dollar beers were a good value. Overall, it's like an OK value, especially when there's other pizza and Italian places in town and in the area that you can choose from. It would probably be another long time until I visited either our hometown location or Carlsbad. Interiors pretty basic with some surf motif, large family style picnic table tables and high tops. There's a few nooks and crannies with the outdoor patio balcony area that's kind of cool.
