This location incorrectly told us we could only select 5 toppings for the Regret Nothing promotion. We've been to other locations that run to promotion correctly and online details of the promotion say, "pick anything". In addition this location is unnecessarily slow. read more

Blaze Pizza - Promotion shows, pick anything. And does not limit to 5 toppings. - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

This Blaze location has provided pretty consistent large portions of toppings on the pizzas so no complaints here!

I ordered a pizza and the toppings were all wrong (my wife picked it up and didn't realize it). I called to complain and they asked me if I wanted a refund or if I wanted them to make the pizza for me again. I didn't have time to go back so I said I wanted a refund. They said they were busy so Angel the manager was supposed to call me back. I never got the call back. I sent two emails. I tried calling again but was never able to get a hold of anybody or get a response to my emails. Very bizarre. Glad that they're moving their corporate office out of Pasadena and out of state. Good riddance. read more

It's good pizza, I like the crust is not too much. I like the make your own because you can add a lot

Great service by Savannah She got my pizza done to perfection and I was very happy with her customer service read more

Blaze Pizza has such a special place in my heart. Just brings back memories and this is one of the few locations I'll go out of my way to visit when I'm craving. Javi in particular made me a beautiful pizza, I love her attention to detail and great service - it really is the little things read more

Friendly service and great pizza!!!! My favorite concept. I think I've had this review in drafts for over 10 years. Hilarious!

I've always come to Blaze at all the locations wherever I'm around mainly because I love the brick oven to make the pizzas. What happened? I came in here on a Saturday afternoon, there wasn't many ppl and they weren't cooking any of the pizzas in the brick oven. They just put it in this little machine from this old pizza chain back in the day that has a little belt; the pizza goes on, gets heated and rolls right out. That old pizza chain went out of business just like Quizno's. It's crap! So not sure if they just stopped using the oven all together even though it was on or whatever reason it is. I don't wanna come back if they're not longer using the brick oven read more

I don't know who the third-party delivery person is for this location, but they absolutely suck. Never got any calls or texts, twice my order was marked delivered and just never showed up. Plus there's no one to call. read more

I cane here last night after volunteering at Pasadena Playhouse. I was excited that there was a place open. There was one woman ahead of me. I stood next to her. No one said a word to me. Staff was moving slowly as they seemed unprepared for the theatre crowd to show up. After standing for a while, someone finally took my order. I ordered the November special - Chicken Parm Pizza and a side salad. I specifically told them very well done. Burn it. She told me to tell the person making my pizza. I told the person making it very well done. I paid and waited. My pizza came up quickly and it was cold and on the raw side. The sauce was cold. It was not well done at all. By then, more people came and I just wanted to get out of there. Cold uncooked pizza is disgusting. Not sure if I'll come back. I found the staff quite unfriendly. read more

Blaze Pizza - Naked Chicken Parm Pizza - undercooked and raw. Gross. - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I walked in at 10:42 PM and was told they were closed and had forgotten to lock the doors. As I was walking out, I was then told they decided to close early, even though the posted closing time on both their website and the door says 11:00 PM. I wish I could rate 0 stars read more

Like anything that starts out great, this place is really slowly going downhill. 2 topping and a soda $15 bucks. Not cheap but not that pricy for what you get. However when they started you could requests a little extta on a topping or extra cheese and now they charge extra for that according to their staff. A customer in front of me was asking questions about cross contamination. She may have had allergies and the worker didn't even care. Last week I visited the La Canada location and they said if you do a large 2 topping with Pepperoni and request 1/2 with black olives and the other half with Kalamata Olives it would go from 2 topping to Build your own? Both toppings are olives lol.... Hope some improvements are made soon. Really like the concept of this fast food pizza shop chain. read more

Blaze Pizza - Quiet day at blaze - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I don't typically leave reviews, especially for fast food restaurants, but my recent visits have been some of the worst experiences I've ever had at any establishment. The young man with visible tattoos, who I believe is named Will (based on what his coworkers have said), consistently appears disinterested and disengaged. He never offers a friendly greeting and provides noticeably poor customer service, making each visit uncomfortable and frustrating. The pizza is way too overpriced there anyways, thanks for nothing blaze pizza! read more

Terrible customer service. Better pizza choices in Pasadena. This joint needs to get out. If they make a mistake on your delivery order, your time will be wasted. Someone over the phone told me to go into their pizza joint and that they'll have my name down to come pick up the correct order. I go in person as instructed. I did not get a name from that employee and the "mgr" Angel G gave me a difficult time, spoke in a condescending manner, very unprofessionally not honoring what his employee told me. Get rid of Angel G. He alleged that I requested a refund, which I didn't. I told him, "Why else would I be there in person if I requested a refund?" He then said we don't do that and if I wanted a pizza that I could have one if I paid for it, with a grimace. Unprofessional establishment. I said how can I verify that a refund was issued, most places just give a complimentary pizza for the inconvenience your company caused? And started to leave, he says loudly, " You don't want a pizza? For free (with a smirk this time)?" I told him to give it to the guy that was after me. (He probably would have spit on any food I accepted there.) I'm sure the greedy unprofessional mgr charged the guy. They don't care about customer service. Now I remember why I deleted their app. Let's support local pizza joints from now on. Blaze pizza is overpriced and not quality pizza. Minus kazillion stars. read more

My son ordered meatballs for dinner via curbside pickup. We get home and there's a hair in his meatballs! Gross and unsanitary! I had to drive ALL the way back to the store to get a replacement only to find out they are OUT of meatballs. Disappointing! But get THIS, they say they can make me a pizza instead and when I asked for a puffy crust pizza (which is what my son requested), they said they couldn't do that because it was "too expensive", I'm sorry but what kind of customer service is that?! It's *their* fault there was hair in my food, it's their fault I was inconvenienced with having to drive back to the store, it's *their* fault they couldn't give me an equal replacement!! If I were the manager, I would've done ANYTHING to make my customer happy abd make up for my mistake! Quality and customer service has really gone downhill at this Blaze. Sadly. read more

delicious amazing pizza food and service was great would recommend to all my friends and family

it was so so yummy and the staff was so nice! this location was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goated

the pizza I ordered was amazing! But today when I ordered a lunch size Caesar salad. The portion size was more like a side salad. All I did was scoop the salad to one side of my bowl and was left with so much room where she could've put more lettuce. I also had a lot of brown lettuce as well. I guess I was better off making a salad at home :/ especially since this salad and a coke was $16 bucks smh read more

Blaze Pizza - Caesar Entre Salad - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

the servers ignore you and treat you like you are invisible. then, we they do talk to you they are rude and don't care about your business. he literally said that. and then he kept talking even after I asked him to stop. the pizza isn't even that good. go somewhere else that appreciates you. read more

Heads up: they charge for ranch now. My last Blaze pizza was a month ago for Pi Day and the ranch was free. Not surprising because it's a franchise, same with the new Pi Day promotion where you have to buy a regular pizza to get the $3.14 pizza deal. It's just disappointing when business make those changes. If you're going to start charging $0.45 (plus tax) for a small side of ranch, at least make it a larger. read more

Food was like every other blaze pizza location. I've been here a handful of times around lunch time on Thursdays and I can confidently say that every time I come here the service I experience is extremely lackluster. No urgency and seems like the employees are always lost. Not great customer service if you ask me. But hey, if you're looking for blaze pizza, you get just that. read more

To start off, I'm not one to draft a negative review about a business, but decided that something needed to be said about this place. Our family frequents this location the most. We have had always a good experience here & have had nothing bad to say about the food & service. This interaction happened on Sunday, August 24, at 5PM. We arrived at the counter & with no one else in line, we ordered the family meal with 3 pizzas. The employee with a short beard & tattoos on both forearms was helping us out & it already almost felt so completely rushed & unprofessional. I, as a fellow service worker, I understand the day to day grind working with customers & unique requests. But even before we started to order, he straight up just says "yeah, just to let you know it's going to be up to 7 toppings." From the first time visiting Blaze EVER up to the very last time which must've been a month ago, one of our favourite reasons to visit, was that we had unlimited choices to add to our BUILD YOUR OWN PIZZAS. When we were told this, my family & I were very confused by this change, & asked when did they implement this change, the employee responded "it's always been like that forever." If you're going to lie & talk to customers who have been going to your business, at least come up with a more professional & polite way to say it. At least give me a BS reason, i.e "corporate wants us to limit it, we're trying to save food waste, etc." The employee gave us absolutely no explanation behind it & also didn't even try to just let it slide this time & go beyond to fulfill the request. Then when we sat down, I watched him then interact with other customers, he chatted with a newly clocked in coworker on the pizza line, & had to whisper to him that "there's a 7 topping limit." SO, I've already filled out that customer service survey on the receipt & I've said my peace there. But felt the need to explain my experience here to inform others who may have had similar experience with this particular employee. Make it a storewide policy, make it known on the menu that you're limited to 7 toppings, charge extra for it, put it around the store so customers aren't taken by surprise that you're going to get limited when you order. This probably isn't something that I should stress about but these are instances that need to be addressed & I'd be okay if we got a proper explanation & just better customer service. We got none of that. We visit Blaze because there's a standard that we believe they have kept up throughout the years that they have been operating, I don't want one bad apple ruining the experience for someone else. I don't expect any refund or some reply that I should email or talk to customer service. Simply get everyone on the same page, communicate, & just provide a good experience moving forward. I'd like to come back but this visit definitely has made me switch locations & go somewhere else. I hope you can find a solution & fix the issue. read more

Service was quick and friendly. Very clean inside too!. My first time eating and having blaze pizza! I did the 20$ deal for half and pizza and huge Cesar salad! So many options and toppings. Super yummy. Thank you staff and management for making sure my order was correct and ready. read more

My first time at this location and they didn't disappoint. I came here and ordered 2 pizzas and the service was very fast. I spoke with the manager Angel and he was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and stocked and the environment is welcoming. read more

Excellent customer service. Friendly employees and manager. The manager Angel was friendly and cooperative. The food came out as expected. I'll definitely come back to this blaze pizza location. read more

The service is great and the people are so helpful. They are friendly and so quick. The place is clean and well kept. The parking situation is a bit tricky because it's on a corner of a major street. read more

I wouldn't have thought Blaze would be one of my top 3 vegan-friendly dine out spots in Pasadena, but it totally is. The pizza here is perfect thin-crust, sauces and topping choices are great, price is reasonable, and employees are always friendly. I'm not sure what brand of vegan cheese they use, but it melts perfectly. Plus, you can get a boatload of veggies on your pizza and it's all one price. Blaze is a favorite weeknight dinner for me when I don't feel like cooking. read more

Blaze Pizza - Build Your Own Pizza (11-inch) - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

(Took Out 03/12/20 TH @ 7:00pm): This place was blazin' busy and hot! In the area for the 7th Annual Pasadena International Film Festival and needed some simple takeout grub, so thankfully Pasadena's Blaze Fast Fired Pizza was just down the corner. I loved pizza (it should honestly be its own food group!) and would it eat everyday if I didn't care about my waistline expanding. With the constant proliferation of "craft-your-own" pizza joints all seemingly doing the same exact thing with the same exact ingredients with nearly the same price-point, how was one to choose other than convenience or customer service? Would I go out of my way to visit this location!? PURCHASE 4-Piece Dough Knots ($3.45): Each rolled-up piece of bread was covered in what I believed was melted butter and olive oil with flecks of garlic and pesto inside, and was a pleasure to eat while I licked my fingers after I downed each knot https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zr8HnMhqBvrKAbWvyeF59A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Simple Side Greek Salad ($5.85): My body needed some greens with a little pizzazz, and this salad did the trick. Surprised by the larger-than-expected portion which could've been a meal itself, it basically had all the elements (lacked cucumbers) and a pleasant light-medium dressing https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=P6jMQqQuU5AsD9oJngdb8A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Veg Out Pizza ($9.85): A blend of mozzarella, gorgonzola, red onions, mushrooms, seasonal veggies, and red sauce dollops, I felt this pie was haphazardly made by the looks of it and was somewhat disappointed in the lack of toppings; I guess I should've been more hands-on in the process even though this was one of their menu items. Regardless, it still tasted good but generally needed more oomph and less burnt crust https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=9IwzGJ1bo71iqCSSjha5aw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE In light of the early shutdown stages of "Coronavirus 2020", I noticed one one family of three dining in while a handful of others such as myself with takeout orders. I was immediately greeted when I entered and assisted by a young female who took my order while someone else built my pie. Less than ten minutes later, my entire order was ready for me to hit the road. All in all, things were straightforward and adequate. PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) I found expired posted time limit parking (1-hour parking valid 8am-6pm except Sundays) along the main drag of Colorado Blvd. Otherwise, there were plenty of parking on all surrounding streets, lots of nearby businesses, structures all over the place, or even an Orange Line Metro station a couple blocks away. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A surprisingly spacious floorplan with many booths and chairs & tables throughout. However, the order line snaked immediately from the time you entered, bisected a small section of the room, and then ran along the order counter which I saw a potential of bottlenecked foot traffic. An easily legible menu was placed above the order counter as you peered into the exposed kitchen with the pizza ovens. Plenty of natural light came through the large front glass walls and doors while an equal amount of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I didn't recall seeing any TVs, but music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Blaze Fast Fired Pizza Pasadena location filled a need at a moment in time and satisfied any expectations. The food was very good, the service friendly and efficient, and the prices comparable. Although they had a small alcohol selection, it was a shame they didn't have any TVs for more of a sports bar atmosphere thus possible an increase in sales. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $21.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

First of all I ordered a build your own pizza I got a simple pepperoni and bacon pizza with shredded cheese and fresh mozzarella. When I got home I got almost no cheese on my pizza at all. We also got the deal get 2 pizzas 2 drinks and 2 desserts But we never got our desserts and basically wasted our money. Probably won't come again read more

First and last time at this location, wanted the lunch special 1/2 pizza and a drink $7.99. All other Blaze locations I've been to you can pick whatever toppings you want and never had a problem, also if you order online you can pick as many toppings as you want. Well not at this location the young guy at the counter asked me what will my one topping will be and I said it supposed to be any toppings, he said no only 1. Don't really know if every store sets their policies on ordering, but they should at least follow through with the rest of the stores. read more

I've come here since it opened All I want to say is The new system the implemented sucks ! I waited on line for over 7 min with a hungry 2 year old which by the way loves the pizza here Only one more person waiting ahead of me Staff gave a cold energy like they hated their job (which to me that I've work in the food industry for over 15 years "if you don't like your job, apply someplace else that will make you happy") No greeting or at least an "I'll be right with you" Something that tells me that you acknowledge my presence and the rest of your guest waiting There's 5 people on staff and not one said a word or even looked at me When It was finally my turn to order by the manager it seem since she was giving orders to other continued with the cold attitude I felt I was at McDonalds Very transactional and non friendly what soever It took 20 min total for me to finalize the transaction and get my order If this is the type of service I'll get from now on I'm definitely not coming back read more

Blaze Pizza - Can I get a hi at least ? - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Really friendly workers despite the rush. I've been to the other Pasadena blaze location and was never pleased with their customer service. The workers are calm, customer oriented, and just honestly nice. I don't feel like I was being a nuisance for ordering food. You guys are awesome!!! read more

Maybe I didn't have my expectations set correctly for a fast service spot. Passive aggressiveness by a some young kid mailing it in wasn't appreciated. Didn't hand me a number, maybe I should have asked, pizza was waiting on counter and getting cold. When I went up to ask if that was mine - no verbal acknowledgement, mocking 1/10 inch slide of the pizza towards me with a tiny glare. Valid question, petulant response. EDIT: also, whatever follow up from the business account is a ruse. I followed instructions and I've heard nothing. read more

This is the second time I have been to this Blaze Pizza and felt the discrimination from the same manager Angel P. The first time I went a few weeks ago and he took our order. We ordered the Family Special and instead of letting us look and pick the items he wanted to punch it all in the order. This has never been done before at any Blaze Pizza location that I have visited. Then last week, my family and I, who are Asian, went to order the same special again. It was at this time that the same manager Angel said that we were limited to 7 toppings and that was a new policy. When I asked the employee making our pizza he shrugged his head and said he had never heard about this policy before. When we ate, my wife looked at the line and never heard him utter this phrase again. When I emailed corporate, they said that it was the managers policy and that they are allowed to change it. read more

A perfect thin crust, your own choices of toppings, and no judgment from the staff when you choose things that seemingly may not go together as naturally as PB&J. The spicy red sauce is wonderful as a base. The selection of cheeses is top notch. Their veggies are always fresh and perfectly cooked. And they have really mastered the rotation in their piping hot oven in a way I doubt I ever will. Blaze is also very supportive of the local community - I've gone during various fundraising efforts, and I've been so pleased that they are committed to giving back. The s'more is a nice sweet treat after the fact. Be sure to have them warm it in their oven. Trust me, it's better than what you can do at home. read more

I designed my own pizza, which is definitely a gamble usually. They let you add as many toppings as you want though, so you can definitely make the most loaded pizza and have a huge meal for about $10-12. They recommended their new fiery maple drizzle, which was delicious. I also got the seasonal butternut squash, which didn't really have much flavor. I appreciate that you can get as many sauces as you want though, and they also let you get ranch on the side to dip your pizza with. The service was also super friendly and they made sure you added everything you wanted to your pizza! Download their app for a free drink as well. Overall, would come back for a quick meal. read more

Blaze Pizza - Build Your Own Pizza (11-inch) - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I love Blaze Pizza! The location doesn't matter. No matter where I'm at, the staff is always nice and the pizzas are always good. I recently came to this location for the first time. It did take a while for my pizza to be made, even though there were hardly any people there upon my arrival, and some people already had their food. But, other than that, a good experience. I love building my own pizza, that way, it tastes just the way I want it to, every time. One thing I will say, as someone who worked at a pizza shoppe for three years of my life... more toppings! You should be able to taste a little bit of everything in every bite, and that just does not happen here. I think I'm actually going to go an order a pizza from Blaze for dinner, right now! read more
