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.

Came here for 4th of July, only because everything else was closed. We had actually called ahead and they had told us they would be open normal business hours. When we got there at 7:30, after waiting in a very slow moving line, we asked if a table could be cleaned off, since all the tables were dirty. It was pretty filthy in there overall. The employee cut us off in the middle of talking, said they are too busy to clean any tables (so everyone just has to eat off of dirty ones wtf) and that he didnt care because they were closing early - after they had told us via phone they would be staying open normal hours. We specifically told the guy that we had watched a kid pick her nose for like 5 min straight and then bang her dirty hands all over the table (parent left her kid unattended while she waited in line for food) and he still wouldn't clean a table. We had to just take our very below average pizzas and leave. The kids who work here couldn't care less about their job or customer service and there were no adults in sight. Highly recommend going anywhere else.

Was in town for a wedding and decided to give this place a try…read more If I could give more stars I would. Delicious! I've never had a Spam tempura and now that's all I want from now on! The bar area was cute and TV's playing sports games. We were seated quick, our food came just as quick and left with full happy bellies. Will comeback when craving a Spam Musubi and in the area!

Went here for date night last week- it has a lot more seating inside than I had expected!…read more Good service- 5/5 The ambience - 3.5/5 - the ambience wasn't my favorite, maybe it's a little better in their main restaurant area but we were seated to the left when you walk in and while there are a few booths in that area it was mostly outdoor chairs and tables and sort of odd lighting. Just very very casual and not totally comfortable. Food- 3.4/4 out of 5 - I got the Luau plate and LOVED the chicken!! Everyone else was right- that chicken thigh deserves its own plate. I also really enjoyed the coconut pudding/jello thing that came with it and the sausage link. The pulled pork was just okay, not very well seasoned but not bad. The side of "dressed greens" was just some lettuce without dressing on it, and I thought the macaroni salad was fine. The last thing that really disappointed me were the sautéed veggies :/ they were just soo oily and had no seasoning to them at all. I didn't eat any of them or the un-dressed 'salad'. My husband got the chicken katsu plate, he said the chicken katsu was fine but the fries on the side were cold and not crispy, they were kind of chalky in the mouth and didn't taste fresh. Some parts were definitely a 3/5 but my chicken thigh was so good and the portions are *huge* so I feel like they deserve a 4/5? All in all, I think I'd come back if I wanted to go out with someone but save some money and we'd split one of the plates (the portions really are huge).

I am certain that they must get a bonus check for giving out the least amount of sauce with any of your food because they will give you about two tiny sauces for your big burrito and then tell you if you want more it's an up charge. It's WILDDDD! Thank goodness the burrito is bomb because that's all that's good and left of this place.

This is probably going to become my del Taco replacement because the rates of del Taco are going up…read morein their fake food isn't worth it these guys are less fast food and more family quality Mexican it's made with ingredients that aren't science projects. Good service. You know they're a little bit gun shy quite literally because the proximity to the freeway makes them a Target so they're only cash now. That's kind of BS in my book because with all the cops around here you think they'd be on top of that but hey, we don't have local police. Anyway that's why they only take cards but bring some money for the tip jar. No cash on premise I repeat no cash on premise hopefully this helps them from getting assaulted again. Ambiance is great I'm in my car and my pajamas I drive through I asked them for food they give it to me I come home and that's the best.
