    The service was quick and efficient. The pizza is a perfect size for a single person (granted I eat a lot). I've never eaten in the restaurant but it looked clean.

    Build your own pizza

    Blaze is a great spot for a quick coal-fired pizza. A pizza and cheesy bread will last me 2-3 meals. Here's my build your own (BYO) pizza topping choices: original crust, classic red sauce, mozzarella cheese, ricotta on half, pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, roasted garlic. After the pizza came out of the oven I asked for an olive oil drizzle and arugula on top. Sometimes I'll get the pizza with red sauce and a pesto drizzle on top for more flavor, but I didn't this time since I got the pesto cheesy bread. The pizza and cheesy bread both came out in about 10-15 minutes. No line on a weeknight. Price came out to about $17 with tax. Overall I'm a fan of the BYO pizza concept, like Pieology or Mod Pizza. One thing that differentiates Blaze is they offer roasted garlic as a topping, which gives a great depth of flavor. I like the BYO option so that I can load it up with toppings, but they also have pre-set pizzas you can order if you find it a hassle to name each ingredient you want. They have gluten free options (cauliflower crust) and dairy free options (vegan cheese) as well.

    White top + spinach and pesto - my faveee
    Chris M.

    White Top MVP. I've had numerous of their other premades, but I almost always get the White Top (with pesto drizzle and spinach on occasion) and always get launched into my happy place for the duration of the meal. Seriously, every time I take the first bite, I think to myself, "man this is a good pizza." I'll admit I wasn't a believer of the white sauce at first, but you have to try it! It's like Alfredo sauce. The White Top may not be the healthiest thing (creamy sauce and bacon bits) but if you're going to a pizza joint, chances are you won't mind. If you're more of a red sauce kind of person (and like spicy), the spicy tomato sauce is amazing! It's actually spicy, which is why it's amazing. Note that the premades are the same price as the build your own, so you're free to add as many toppings as you want to a premade if you want to add some flair or just feel like you're not getting your money's worth. Other tidbits: line is always long at peak lunch hours but goes fast, no line for dinner, plenty of indoor seating, outdoor seating, good service. Note that when it's packed, you have to wait in a crowd of people by the soda fountain so make sure to keep your ears open for when they call your name.

    Outside Patio

    What A Great Idea Of Building Your Own Pizza. You are able to select your sauce, meat and any toppings you can think of on your piszza. This location is very clean. The employees are usually friendly with smiling faces. They greet you cheerfuly once you open thw door. Its like Chipotle Only you get to create and build your own pizza with various toppings. I had a pizza with a Spicy Sauce which had a bit of a kick to it. But it was delish despite of a little heated flavor. My toppings was top with sausages, spinach and a hint of spices sprinkle on top. Once you have create your master piece it is handed off to another employee. The pizza is placed inside this Big Kettle Oven that cooks your pizza until its nice and crispy around the edges. Its cool to watch your pizza being cooked in front of you The prices and quality isn't bad. They even have a nice outside seating patio on the front for you to enjoy the beautiful weather.

    The pizza is pretty good. It was not super busy and it's chill inside. The employees were also pretty nice

    My personal creation......

    This is where pizza meets Chipotle. Well actually Subway started the 'build your own' meal craze (but Chipotle receives all the credit). Blaze uses this same approach for building your own pizza. With the exception of the crust, every other ingredient is selected by the customer. From the sauce to the seasoning the choice is yours. They have all fresh ingredients and with the 'build your own' pizza you select as many (or few) as you want. They do have some standard pizzas available but why would you come here for that? The staff is super friendly and helpful. On my first visit I appreciated them asking if it was my first time and then guiding me to the process. The person who helped me was extremely patient as I went down the line deciding what I wanted. After building your pizza, they put it blazing fire oven and 180 seconds later your name is called to pick up your pizza. Both times I've been here I ate my pizza in their dining area (which has a cool and casual feel to it) which allowed me having my pizza almost immediately after it came out of the oven. The flavor was amazing; extremely fresh. Unfortunately on both visits I did not have any leftovers so I cannot comment on how it is when warmed up the next day. If Blaze is in your area and you have not checked them out; shame on you. Get moving. And if you happen to visit a city that has a Blaze (as I did), be sure to check them out. You will not regret it. As it says on the 'Blaze' website: "Enjoy the rest of your day."

My friend and I were waiting for them to call our order number but it was taking a while so I went to the counter and the order had been ready sitting there they just weren't calling out the orders. I'm glad I went up otherwise my food would have gotten cold! I'm not sure if their sound systems were down to call out the order numbers for pick up or if they just don't do that. I came here with my friend as I had never tried the beef sandwich and she highly recommended the cheese fries. I also heard great things about the chocolate cake slice. I added peppers to the beef sandwich to give it some spice but besides that it was bland! I was disappointed but I thought the Chicago dog would make up for it but the bun was soggy. The best part of my order were the cheese fries and I got a free slice of chocolate cake since it was my birthday month! The chocolate cake was the best chocolate cake I've ever had that wasn't homemade. Very moist and lots of frosting! I would come back for the fries and the cake, but I wouldn't order the beef sandwich or Chicago dog again.

    First time in Chicago so I had to try the national sandwich of Chicago! Al's beef has been serving…read moreup Italian Beef sandwiches since 1938. They have won several awards for their sandwiches and are said to have the best Italian Beef in Chicago. With all this being said, this was certainly a must eat on my trip! Their menu consists of their famous Italian beef, along with Chicago dogs, burgers, sausage sandwiches, chicken, and fries. There is definitely something for everyone here. The inside is casual and reminiscent of a fast food eatery. Really liked the yellow accents throughout the restaurant. I will also note that it was extremely clean inside, which is always appreciated. Ordering is simple and they will call your ticket number when your food is ready. All the food is served made to order and very fresh and doesn't take too long to come out! I ordered the Regular Beef, wet, with both hot and spicy peppers per the workers suggestion. Ordering the sandwich wet simply means the bread is dunked in the gravy/aus jus. If you want the real deal, this is how you order it. The peppers are optional as well, but complete the sandwich. The sandwich consists of their famous Italian beef roasted and sliced, served on freshly baked French bread. I can see why this sandwich is so highly regarded. The Italian beef that is made in house each day is tender, flavorful, and just perfect! It isn't chewy or tough either. The sweet and spicy peppers paired nicely with the savory beef. And the fresh French bread covered in the gravy--phenomenal! The gravy adds a lot of flavor to the sandwich. You do have to eat it quickly, otherwise the bread will fall apart, oh but it is so worth it. I got fries with a side of cheese sauce to go with the sandwich. By far some of the best fries I've had. Not super crispy, but not soggy either, the texture was just right. They were salted perfectly and dipping them in their velvety cheese sauce was a treat! A regular sub is roughly 6 inches and quite filling. The sandwiches are stuffed with ample amounts of beef. The price is also excellent considering how much you get. Overall, I would say Al's Beef lived up to all its praise. My sandwich was very memorable and was like nothing I'd had before. Everything is so fresh, between their beef, bread, and fries, it is all made in house. This isn't just some fast food spot, it is an institution. I was impressed with everything I ordered, especially the fries. They take a lot of pride in what they serve. This is evident in their customer service. If you are visiting Chicago, don't think, just go--you won't regret it!

    (Kari's Rating 6.5/10)…read more Finally made my way out here and it was alright. My go to is normally Portillo's Italian beef, but I wanted to change it up. It's a little stop in place and they have a pretty small seating area, but I went on a day where it wasn't super crowded. Beef was pretty typical, I think I enjoyed the gravy seasoning more on this one over Portillo's, but I did like Portillo's spicy and sweet peppers a little bit better. I don't like my bread, saggy, so I was able to get the dipping gravy on the side. Service is pretty quick as it's just a small sit down place. It wasn't too loud, so you could have a conversation with the person next to you, but I imagine it would be much louder if you went on a Friday or Saturday night. I probably wouldn't stop in again but it's a nice place to go to. If you have people from out of town they don't wanna go to Portillo's.
