When Blaze first opened this location, we were excited to try it and it did not disappoint. The service was fast and efficient, and the pizza was excellent. Unfortunately, something has changed over the past two years, and this location has noticeably declined. The service is now slow and inattentive. Employees tend to ignore customers waiting in line, moving without any sense of urgency and appearing unsure of their responsibilities. On my most recent visit, I brought a friend who had never been to Blaze. We arrived shortly after opening to find only two customers ahead of us. Despite the light traffic, employees walked around flattening dough and looking lost, with no one stepping up to take orders. After several minutes, a young woman finally approached and got us started. They completed the orders for the two customers ahead of us, then shifted to what appeared to be online orders, leaving us waiting again. When they eventually got to us, one employee worked carefully and methodically -- the pizzas were well-made -- but the pace was very slow. I then stood at the register for several more minutes before anyone came to take payment. Throughout the entire visit, the overall impression was that in-person customers are simply not a priority. The pizza itself was delicious, though our two orders came out separately despite being made back-to-back. The dining area also needs attention. There is debris collected in the corners and food crumbs left on the chairs. I did notice they finally fixed the giant tear in one of the booth cushions. That was an improvement over my last visit. Blaze makes a great product, but the experience at this location needs significant improvement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I am sad to say this will likely be my last visit. read more

If you ask me what I like on my pizza, that answer is usually the same. However, when I go to Blaze, there's so many options available, it really depends on my mood. I believe that Blaze is the best place to go whenever you want to make your own pizza. Yes it isn't the local favorite but when you are craving a personal pizza with everything you love, this is the place to go. From a variety of sauces and a huge array of toppings, you have so many things to choose for your perfect pie. The vibes in here are definitely minimalist. It feels very industrial and upscale at the same time. The staff is always friendly whenever I have been which is a good sign. Overall, I am a Buffalo pizza kinda guy but Blaze is great for a quick lunch or dinner when the family can't decide what we want on our pizza. We can go here and everyone is happy. read more

Blaze Pizza - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

Decided to treat ourselves for date night dinner and did the 5/$35 deal in the app. For value, absolutely great! 3 pizzas, salad and a dessert for a great price! My fiancée got ricotta on his pizza and when we came home and opened our pizza boxes, no cheese was to be found. We ordered ricotta on two pizzas and both were bare. I don't know if they were out but it would have been nice to know rather than had no cheese pizzas. Really disappointed in our most recent experience read more

Blaze Pizza - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

This is one of the most interesting and delicious pizza places. They have most flavorful pizzas with so many options. My personal favorite pizza is the 4 cheese pizza. Their ricotta cheese is so good. They have great options for spice or for flavors. I like their chili oil and all the toppings they keep on the counter like cheese and red pepper. Their service is very good the people cooking the pizzas do a great job and are so skillful. I love their giant pizza oven so classic. The ambiance is very good with friendly pizza and lots of nice collage students. I would recommend. read more

We arrived a bit early, but the pizzas were not ready. While waiting, we witnessed one worker with his jacket on eating takeout from another restaurant over the prep area, also another worker laying the pizza peel on the garbage can scraping off the peel flipping it over laying that on the garbage can opening and doing the same. Wondering if they have management at this location. Maybe the worker was told this is the way you do it. But I don't believe it's a standard practice read more

Blaze Pizza - Is there a manager ?!!... - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

I cannot believe this place is popular. I stopped in today for lunch with my daughter. Every inch of this place is filthy. The windows, the floors, the walls, the drink station. One of the benches has a huge hole in it with the stuffing coming out. I ordered the four cheese pizza. The first have was good but then I had a pice that tasted bad. I don't know if it was bad cheese or bad sauce but I threw it out. Sadly this was my first visit here and it will be my last read more

Disgusting filth..Will never go back..Who is the owner should be ashamed of your self...Never ever saw a restaurant so dirty in my life...This is the one on The boulevard... Unbelievable..I'm sure there is bugs and rats in that place..Just disgusting read more

Recommended! The line is sometimes long but worth the wait! The pizza is surprisingly one of the best pizzas I've ever had!

Ahh Blaze, where do I start with them. I've been a patron for years now. I remember my experience when they first opened like it was yesterday. I was absolutely in love with how you can build your own pizza as quick as a chipotle bowl down the assembly line. Seems like more restaurants have been using this style lately. I always go with the Spicy Pepperoni Pizza and build it up from there. I end up with this amazing art piece each time. The brick oven is my fav part, the crust is crisp, light and fresh. read more

The staff I've encountered are very nice, but it's always dirty inside the restaurant. Unwiped tables, dust, garbage, etc. Pizza is sometimes a bit on the burnt side, but not unbearable. I feel that Blaze peaked when they first opened and has just gotten worse since. Not my first choice for pizza read more

Today was a cold, windy, wet miserable day! I was supposed to be enjoying a wonderful event with chefs cooking up amazing dishes but my immune system could not fare that weather outdoors. I decided to come here and redeem a free voucher I won for an 11 inch pizza since I didn't intend to cook today and I must say I am so happy this voucher got me to try this place because it is so delicious! You can choose from some their own signature pizzas or create your own and it will be wood-fired to perfection! I chose to make my own: original dough, white sauce, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, roasted garlic, red onion, fresh basil, oregano, and balsamic glaze. It was deliciousssssssss!!!! Super fresh, light (as in not greasy), crisp, flavorful. Prices are perfectly fair and service was fast and friendly. I'll be back soon! read more

Blaze Pizza - Create your own 11 inch pizza YUMMMM - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

pizza is great one of my favorite places to go for pizza. staff is rude and service is bad. they close the shop and ordering like 45 minutes before they even close which to me is insane. service has really just took a decline over the last little bit. i mean it takes forever and staff never has any urgency when taking orders and preparing food. read more

Excuse the picture, I was very hunger haha. Nonetheless, Blaze Pizza is like the Subway of pizza making. The way you order is similar in style as you can pick from the signature selections or you can make your own & go down the line to choose your toppings. I really enjoy Blaze Pizza because it is quick, inexpensive & customizable. I love how thin the pizza is & the crunch it has but ultimately you can do thick crust, gluten free crusts, etc. The options are endless here. The employees are always kind, quick, clean & they really communicate well at this location as there is always someone doing something. The establishment itself is big with a modern twist & they offer ample amount of seating inside & outside. Thanks Blaze! Don't ever change!! read more

I love coming here but recently I've been noticing some issues in the past year. I love the food but it hasn't tasted the same. It is has either been undercooked or overcooked and the dough has a different flavor. Additionally, this place is filthy. The staff touch their phones consistently throughout their shift (while they are cooking) and the floors are disgusting. I am never pleased when I come in and I can't believe workers are allowed to use their phones when the customers are relying on them to keep their food safe and clean. read more

I am disappointed in this Blaze. It was once a treat for us to drive 25 minutes for Blaze pizza, but it has been disastrous the past two trips. This trip they lost my pizza, and I had to get a refund. It took ten minutes for the representative to figure out the refund. I do not know what happened, but they are falling fast. The crew that was there tonight needs training. They seemed lost, except for one female, and everyone but her was either rude or disinterested. One plus was that they did offer to make a new pizza, but the service was so slow, I opted for a refund. Also, the tables and seats are in need of repair. We will give it six months or so to get things fixed, and then we will see if it improves. I hate to see a restaurant I enjoy failing, so I hope Blaze makes a comeback. read more

Prices on the menu aren't accurate. They charged whatever they said was the price which was not the same as what it is clearly stated on the menu. When asked why I was being charged more they just giggled and said whoops must not be right on the menu, but can't change it. Then proceeded to ask if I wanted to tip.... read more

I arrived close to 7 yesterday on Wednesday night. They were getting a ton of pick up and delivery orders. The pick up line was quite long, but I was first in a line of maybe 10 to order. It seemed they had a full crew, but I heard some of the young people complaining to one another about the volume of orders coming in. Some of the comments included "Oh God, it's starting again", and "no, not again" and "FML." So I commiserated with them and thanked them for enduring it so I could eat at my favorite pizza place. Just an aside in case a manager is reading this. I honestly laughed. I love how little F's Gen Z gives. I worked at Starbucks and Chipotle as a younger person, and the elderly people would sigh in exasperation at any delay and tut tut without any sympathy, but we would just kowtow and apologize for their wait. Blaze is all about consistency. Pizza is my favorite salty food and traditional pizza places don't let you have the variety or quantity of toppings without paying exorbitantly. Granted it's a lot larger, but I don't need an XL anyway. I got a high rise build your own as I always do. The pizza was very good as usual at Blaze when not overcooked (that's the only issue I've found to look out for with Blaze). The restaurant was very clean despite the rush and the stations were all stocked. I did not use the rest rooms, so can't speak to them. My favorite aspect was that they let you key in gift card numbers. Bear with me as I know this sounds weird. The most frustrating thing about Blaze back home in NC is that they rarely know how to enter gift cards in their POS. Blaze gift cards don't have bar codes, just 20 digit long #s. I keep the numbers and balances in my Apple Notes ready to go, so I can show the employee, but they always struggle with it. This location made it so easy. Normally I hold up the line and my pizza is nearly cooked by the time they figure it out, but here I was able to wait at least 5 min for my pizza. read more

Blaze Pizza - Veggies and meats - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

I really hate leaving bad reviews. If I don't like a restaurant, odds are I probably just won't patronize it again and leave it at that. But this...this was a uniquely bad experience. I ordered the vegan pizza and the cheese bread with vegan cheese, for delivery through Uber Eats. What I received was a non vegan pizza with basil leaves and fresh mozzarella. The cheese bread, while it did have the correct cheese, also had a piece of pepperoni on it. Now, I'm a new vegan. I didn't give up meat and dairy all that long ago and I'm not going to get sick from eating either of these items. Which I did, so as not to waste food and because dealing with wrong orders through Uber Eats is a hassle and a half. But if you're a longtime vegan/vegetarian or have a food allergy, man, I cannot stress enough how much this is NOT the place to go. It was my first experience with it and 2/2 items were messed up. Unacceptable. read more

So disappointed.. a place me and my boyfriend used to love turned to absolute garbage. You walk in and see multiple workers standing doing nothing while you wait in and line and get stared at, once they finally come to the counter the service is very slow and unfriendly. One worker blew his nose and did not wash his hands when taking care of the pizzas without gloves! Unprofessional and dirty! The restrooms were absolutely filthy, walked in and walked right out. Two build your own pizzas and a drink 35 dollars! Ridiculous and will NEVER come back. read more

Still leaving a 4-star review after a second visit here. The Blvd is *ALWAYS* busy & I usually avoid it like the plague, but today's visit was prompted by the fundraiser being held for Queen City Pitties. Most shops along the Blvd are busy and Blaze pizza was no exception. We arrived at 6 pm; there were a stack of orders waiting to be fulfilled and people waiting to receive them. I bought a keto crust white top pizza for myself. The crust was crisp but it honestly could have used a LOT more sauce. Even with the cheese, bacon & other toppings, I struggled to get past how dry each slice was. The cashier didn't hear me ask if Coke Zero was an option and I was disappointed to see after paying for my order that it was indeed a fountain drink option (just not a pre-packaged "grab & go bottled option). All in all, I'm glad I was able to support Queen City Pitties with my purchase tonight and I'm sure I'll return again. read more

Finally tried this place out its very good! I love the make your own pizza format it's infinitely customizable and pricing was pretty great over all as well. Pizzas are wood fired and very tasty as well. A personal size pizza is just about perfect for one person for a meal. There is lots of seating both indoor and I think outdoor for nicer weather as well. Enjoyed it we would absolutely go back again! read more

Blaze Pizza - BBQ CHKN (11-inch) - Salad Near Me - Amherst, New York

If you wanna be ignored when you get here at opening then this is your place. Got here at exactly 11 and wasn't even acknowledged until 11:15. No, we'll be right with you, no give us one sec, not even eye contact. Literally just pretended everyone in line didn't exist. All the girls in the back leisurely set up everything while not even paying a glance at the line that was slowly building up. 25 minutes later I had my pizza. Everyone in the place was getting frustrated by the super laissez-faire attitude of the staff. This is a constant if you get there early. Additionally if there are online orders they will prioritize them over to live people standing in line. All of those things combined make for a long annoying experience and the staff litterally couldn't give one eff. read more

We always order 4-5 pizzas a week. It's always been great except today. 4 out of 5 pizzas were missing items. So I called immediately you could tell the lady was annoyed to even have to answer the phone. I told her what happened and she Said "WELL 1 item shouldn't even be on there and also DOESNT MATTER NOTHING WE CAN DO OKAY BYE"! I wasn't rude at all. I said nicely 4-5 are missing items I was just going to ask if I could drive all the way back and swap for a remake but NOPE! I'm absolutely shocked at the service! We been ordering weekly for two years now never a issue but today just wow! read more

Not dissimilar to Chipotle and/or Pieology Pizza, sometimes when you arrive there's little or no line, and other times it can be long enough to be daunting.  Fear not - even when there's a line it moves pretty fast, and once it's in the oven it'll be out in no time :-) In various cities, we've been to a healthy sampling of make-your-own pizza joints, and Blaze ranks near the top of the list!  We've visited this particular location on multiple occasions, and each time we were very pleased with our pizzas.   The Positive: - Seating is good for either large or small groups - Everything is very sanitary and clean - Customer service is efficient and friendly - It's really tough to end up with a bad pizza because all the ingredients are top-shelf! The Negative: - The prices are fairly steep given the portion sizes - One pie just won't do the job if you're hungry read more

I love blaze. It's like subway but for pizza is how I'd describe it. I love this new wave of fast food being prepared right in front of you so you can see it's being made fresh and blaze is no exception. Absolutely delicious. Only reason I didn't rate 5 stars was because we had to hunt for a table that was clean and ended up wiping crumbs off the seats & table ourselves. read more

WOW. I'd not heard of Blaze Pizza, probably because the only one in the area is about 15 miles round trip. But now that I've had one, distance doesn't seem relevant. Though if the church of my daughter's co-worker hadn't been having a fundraiser today, I'd still be in the dark about this super pizza place. I ordered online for pick up. The photos tell my experience. I did the BYO (Build Your Own). The box my pizza came in said Dare to Be Daring. I wondered if I was given that box because of my "daring" pizza. It was so ...different, there are those who would say it's not pizza. I'm okay with that. It eats like pizza. And this from Blaze Pizza is the best whatever-it-is that I ever had. The kickers were the balsamic drizzle and the roasted garlic. Thin crust, yes, but well capable of holding whatever toppings you wish. I loved how the glaze and sauce went all the way to the edges. There was no bad bite, no bones left on the plate. Simply, for all its complexity, this was one heck of a pizza. I give Blaze six stars out of five. Easy online ordering, pick up exactly on time as requested. A lot of selection choices or . . . BYO. read more

this was the most painful dining experience I've ever went through in my whole entire life. It's a great idea on the service as a subway pizza place actually sounds like a great thing on paper. However, I will say, but the people that they attract and how stressful the environment is overall and how hot the line is with the is incredibly uncomfortable to be in line and sit and have everyone watch you as you order your food while it feels as if the workers and the people in Line are tapping their feet waiting at you.. more or less my girlfriend, tried to get vitamin water from the machine and it taste like dehydrated water read more

Never had a bad experience but today me and my fiancé went and right of rip he suspected something was wrong just by the way his dough was looking. It was dried up and cracking definitely has been sitting out then as we proceed because I kept saying well we love blaze and then when we got to sit down and eat I noticed how severely burnt my pizza was and then not even 10 minutes in to eating he notices a hair cooked within his dough. I did take it to a worker and all they could offer was free pizza vouchers. I don't ever want to come back again sadly so no need for the free pizza vouchers. I did want to note that hair nets should always be used when cooking food and lots of cross contamination happening with same gloves and more. As someone who's been in the culinary field this place is not expectable. read more

The Barbecue pizza is so good! We ordered two.The addition of Gorgonzola to counter the sweetness of the Barbecue sauce is just divine. We also ordered the Meat Lovers with garlic pesto, and a balsamic drizzle. Needless to day, I had 5 slices. It is becoming a habit now. For reference, I used to have only two slices of Dominoes. But this one, the more I have, the better I feel. Not to mention, it is not greasy, cheesy, heavy pizza that you feel guilty about having. We ordered four pizzas for four people.
