20 minutes to get just bread and sauce. Everybody else gets their pizzas in like six minutes, but literally just bread with no cheese takes more than three times as long. read more

This place makes a great quick oven fired pizza. They have an easy menu, lots of choices, and very friendly staff. I've eaten here several times and never been disappointed with my pizza. Friendly faces everywhere asking how everything is and making sure you are happy with your product. Even when they're busy it takes no time to get your order. The tables are clean and spotless. Drink station is immaculate. Condiments are always plentiful. I love that they have an outdoor eating area and plenty of room to sit back and relax. It's a great deal to pay one price and be able to get anything you want on your pizza. Seriously, they will put anything you want on your pizza! read more

Fun, always fresh. Neve worry about what someone else wants. Each can choose own. Great service. Noisy inside but outside is great on a nice night. To-go another good option. Still hot~ read more

I will start that this is a great idea for quick build your own pizza. The positives ends at this point. It was chaotic, loud and messy. A crowd of untrained young people who has zero interest to listen customers and do order according their preferences. Had to repeat multiple times. 5 people touched this pizza putting/ removing toppings. It was an irritating experience. Also they DO NOT recycle glass and plastic. All glass bottles went to a garbage. It seems that proper training is the issue. read more

Super DISGUSTING!! Drove across town for a pizza to find it ran by a team of high school kids that have 0 sanitation knowledge! I order a high rise and they made some sarcastic jokes, okay haha funny. They get a pie rise out and it has a brown oil that looked disgusting! I asked what it was and was told, "oh it's just from the doughy machine" ?!?!?! SURE I would love some nasty brown oil from you don't know what that wasn't cleaned before you prepped the dough? Next I looked at the station for sauce and was so disgusted I passed on everything and asked for olive oil. The Girl dumped so much oil all over, I literally RAN out! This restaurant should not even be in operation if the health dept was to walk in! I am so mind blown people are completely OKAY with the disgust and poor sanitation that is in their FACE!! read more

Really great "fast food pizza". Think "subway type line" to build your own or choose from the favorites option. It was fast, efficient, great customer service, and delicious thin crust pizza. I got the Linked In - which is sausage + carmelized onions with red sauce (you could make this with white sauce as well) and it came out in under 10 mins. There is plenty of seating inside and out. Great concept and can't wait to come back and try a different pizza. read more

Blaze Pizza - Linked in pizza - Salad Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Fast pizza I was over by UTC and decided to stop in at Blaze, which is just across the street. They offer quickly made pizza and that's what I got today. They list some specialty pizzas or you can construct something. I selected their Meat Eater pizza. The place was kind of noisy, maybe that added an energetic feel, but it made it harder for me to hear the questions being asked when I was ordering. The Meat Eater pizza was good, with a very thin crust that I assume is the case for any pizza ordered. The meat portion was pepperoni and crumbled meatball, and the pizza also came with red onions. I would have also liked ham and bacon and sausage as well, but the overhead menu was clear on what meats I would get. Not sure if I could add more items and I didn't pay attention to what was available as I watched with interest as my pizza maker spread the sauce and fill the top with pepperoni slices. Once I reached the end of the line and paid I started timing, and it was only 4 minutes before my pizza was ready and my name called. The pizza was hot out of the oven, flame cooked, and looked and tasted great. It was not a huge amount of food. Blaze cares too, stopping by to ask if everything was ok. All in all I was very happy with my lunch choice today. read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever tasted thank you . Service was amazing And the vibe inside felt good read more

Blaze never disappoints! I always do the build your own and load up on the veggies. You can also ask for arugula or a balsamic glaze when it comes out of the oven (highly recommend both!). They also bring the pizzas right to your table. Even though the line seemed long, they serve their customers quickly and efficiently. The place is very clean and all workers wear masks and gloves while building your pizza. Blaze will always have a pizza my heart! read more

Good menu selection, pizza's are 12" with 5 different costs to chose from; fast service; buffet style ordering. Nicely affordable.

This is my favorite pizzeria. I get the gluten free crust and it always taste amazing! The service is ok, it spends on how busy it is.

Lance and I love stopping by blaze For their custom pizzas it is so much fun and satisfying to get exactly what you want without sharing! The atmosphere is super friendly and always energetic! Mark made sure we had everything we needed. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Blaze Pizza - Pizza - Salad Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This is one of my preferred tasty pizza spots. Why? Because I can pick what I want and how much of it I want on my pizza. There is a thin crust that makes the foundation, I love the pesto and the marinara sauces mixed onto the dough. Then the toppings. Choose from a wide selection of meats, veggies, and fruits too. I prefer the extra crispy version and it all gets done in about 5 minutes top! There are 3 salad side or entree options to pick and bottled wine, beer or fountain drinks. Dessert is limited with either cookie or brownie packaged options. There are to-go boxes for you to self-serve. Seating is available indoor or outdoor. read more

I love the concept on making your own pizza. I always make a bbq chicken pizza with the amount of sauce and chicken that I desire.

Pizza is crazy good, exactly what i expected it to be, and be sure to get the blood orange lemonade to go with it on the side!

All pizzas are personal size 11" and anyway you want it for $7.95. Nice cheese selection with the traditional pizza toppings. Red or white sauce available. Pizza is cooked in a conveyor style burner for 180 seconds. You can request the pizza crispy. We did and it was delicious. Best part you can customize the whole or your half anyway you want for no extra charge. There is a small selection of beers and one type of Merlot and Chardonnay. The dining area is warehouse style and very loud. Outdoor dining is available with some limited shaded areas. read more

If this review was based purely on the food and the staff behind the counter, I could easily give five stars. The food is aways great with fresh toppings, and the staff are very efficient and polite, regardless of how busy they are. However... During my visit during the day yesterday, the restaurant was so uncomfortably cold, sitting outside in 64 degrees was warmer by far. I had mentioned it to a staff member and the Guest Relations manager, but completely felt blown off as I was told management often disagrees with the thermostat setting. While I understand it probably get's hot in the kitchen, having a setting that makes your customers completely uncomfortable should not be an option, and a reasonable setting needs to be established. Nearly every visit, my meal is interrupted by a Guest Relations Manager to tell me about their cookies, their gift cards, and their app. Personally, I go out to eat to relax either to get away from the office, or for a nice night out. The large advertisement while waiting in line, is easily seen. Upset me on a cookie while I'm paying at the register. Asking me how everything is can be great, but don't engage and interrupt customers during their meal to tell them about your app. For me, it will make me think twice to go to a place where I can eat in piece without feeling like I am being visited bu a car salesman. read more

So many toppings to choose from. Amazing! Different cheeses ... blue cheese included. Roasted garlic!! The best pizza. Staff are very efficient, fast, courteous... they all work so well together between all stations. The brownies are not bad either. In fact they're delicious. Seating inside and out. Plenty of space and good ambiance all around. Congratulations to the owners. They've built a great community restaurant/pizzaria. read more

Nice, friendly staff from the moment you walk in. It's very fun making your own pizza. For $7.95 you can pick all of the toppings that you want... unlimited! That's a great value and deal! It only took about five minutes to put it in the oven and bring it back out. My pizza creation tastes wonderful. read more

Get on a line. Then the Yummy begins. Greeted by AmaziiinG!!! Friendly Staff. There is absolutely NO other Fresh Fire Oven Baked Pizza like Blaze. You will find in this area. Nooo WAY. First starting with the way they prepare the Pizza Dough. It is fermented for 24hrs. Yes, I did say that. Gives the Dough a light airy texture. Rises, much better. Then the conventional way. Keep in mind. They have Gluten Free Dough. That is incredibly good. Even though they have selections of different styles. Example, The Hawaiian, etc... Best way to go for me is build your own. You CHOOSE WHAT EVER TOPPINGS you want. Get as much or has little as you want. Price is still the same. Select your Beverage. Take your number to any of the comfortable sitting areas. Including Outside. Or opt for TAKE OUT & ENJOY @ Work or Home. I usually get, grilled Chicken, Ham, bacon, Genoa Salami, Blk Olives, Green Pepper, Caramelized onions, Cooked Mushrooms, Fresh Mushrooms. And, of course Vegan Cheese. Since I can't have dairy.(lol). Yes, A hypocritical vegan for health reasons but I loveee the meat:-) I've had nothing but positive experiences here. Patrick the manager is very helpful and professional. Always a pleasure to see management there they run things very well. A great staff, they truly work very hard. read more

Not really a pizza fan but a coworker raved about this place. This was a nice break during a day of shopping. The location is great since it is nestled between two great areas of the UTC mall. There is plenty of parking and seating. There is an option for both indoor and outdoor seating. This is cafeteria style pizza with gourmet taste. You enter a line and choose the toppings you would like on your pizza. You can also choose a side salad or an entree salad. I chose the simple pie since I'm not a big pizza fan. This pie was only $5.50. The most expensive pizza on the menu is $8.45 and of course it includes the works. The crust was thin and crisp but not too hard. The flavor was bold but tasty. The portion was great as I took half of my pie home for dinner. Besides the average soda fountain, they have a juice bar. You seat yourself and grab the items you need from the self-serve condiment bar. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Next time I will take a chance at ordering toppings and be adventurous. Nice place for a quick bite. read more

My neighbor told me that Blaze Pizza was a franchise hit or miss. Sometimes good and sometimes not so good. The place looked great and I was excited to drive over to University Town Center from Anna Maria Island and try them out. You order, pay and sit. Then they yell your name out to come back up and grab your pizza. So I found a seat and starting drinking my $5 beer. After 10 mins or so pizza was ready, they called out my name and I was ready. Got the pizza, walked back to my table. First bite, great cheese, nice sauce and dried up, BURNED crust. What a shame, because the dough had good possibilities. Flipped it over and it was black. When I asked them about the black crust, I was told that it's the way that they do it. Always black on the bottom? Yes as long as the top isn't burnt. I finished my beer, tossed the pizza out after taking a photo and headed home very disappointed. See attached photo. As I left, the younger kids working behind the counter were keeping up with customers, but fooling around. I guess I hit the place on a not so good night. $20 for a small pizza that went into the trash and a beer. I won't be returning. There's too many other good pizza places out there. My favorites use a wood fired oven that have a great taste. read more

Literally the worst pizza I have had. I am gluten free and the gluten free crust was terrible

3 rd time in a row my order was messed up. Pizza is fine for 'fast food pizza'. Service not so much. Last time my bread knot did not come with pizza - take out person seemed clueless. I think they gave them to someone else- which happens, no big deal just make another. After 10 minutes of no follow up at all I just left. Fortunately there is no shortage of pizza joints. read more

I am so disappointed. My son picked this pizza place to have dinner tonight. My expectations were low (he thinks golden corral is the best place to get "fancy food"). My husband and son had stopped by here previously. Normally my husband would let me know if the food was good before we pull up but this hadn't happened. My expectations were low. I looked at their menu and that's when it started. I was not prepared to like the pizza this much. To be honest I am a little upset. Now I am going to have to come back over and over and tell my friend how delicious this pizza was. I was not prepared to get so emotionally attached to pizza toppings!! I guess the people working must have prayed to the pizza gods before they created their magical edible art to specifically bless my serving. I cannot tell you that I have tasted better ingredients anywhere else. This place has forced me to do the unthinkable... I have forsaken the pizza temples of old and will now mark this as my spiritual eating grounds hence forth. Heed my warning.... do not eat here unless you want your life to change.... yes it's that fucking good. read more

Great, customizable pizza for a reasonable price. The toppings were great as well as the dough--we had the Veg Out--and we could also add extra toppings for no extra charge. The garlic knots were also very good. The "dough-kneading" machine is really weird but efficient. :) read more

Always impressed with blaze pizza every time we go! They have build-your-own pizzas made to order right when you arrive. There is an abundance of different toppings & they're definitely not afraid of loading up your pizza (which is AMAZING). The toppings are fresh and high quality. A pizza has 6 slices and for an individual serving, it's a lot! The garlic pesto is my personal favorite sauce & I can't find anything like it anywhere else. The service is great and friendly. The organization makes the ordering flow really smoothly. Before we finished paying and getting all of our drinks, the pizza is already finished cooking in a stone oven! Very family friendly & the kids love it! read more
