I'm bummed that there aren't as many build-your-own pizza spots as there used to be. That said, Blaze is my absolute go-to. Their ingredients are top notch and they have a great variety and it just hits every single time! Love coming to this location because of how spacious it is, but also the staff here is friendly and welcoming. It's never too crowded and the pizzas come out very quickly and perfect every time. All the times I've been here it's not been a problem, but the parking lot can fill up as it's not very big and it can get a little tight as it's a bit narrow. read more

Blaze Pizza - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

We used to get pizza here but not anymore. After buying many many pizzas here because of the ability to get several individual build-your-own pizzas at what used to be a reasonable price, the prices have increased so much and the quality has dipped so low, it no longer makes sense to choose Blaze. Our last visit we got the $45 deal which includes 3 BYO pizzas and 2 side items (we added 2 salads). The side Caesar and chopped salads were so not fresh the lettuce was wilted and black from decay/mold on the leaves. It was truly gross and unappetizing to say the least. Both salads were inedible. Any superficial amount of quality control by a manager would have easily spotted the very obvious and disgusting rot no one wants old rotting salad even at a slight discount. But I don't necessarily place blame on the staff working there as they seem to be more and more understaffed. A few days later we ordered a large pizza from another nearby pizza place for $35 dollars that fed 5 people instead of 3. The pizza was far more fresh and enjoyable than any pizza we've had recently from BLAZE. Blaze customer service always follows up on online orders with a satisfaction survey so I responded with all the same information. They did respond with an apology but did nothing to make it right other than to say they would inform the staff. Too little too late. read more

I am such a fan of Blaze Pizza it honestly makes me so happy If I could give more stars, I would! I had a veggie and chicken pizza the day before my 10-mile run, and WOW... it was perfect. The ultimate carb fuel! I felt amazing during my run, satisfied and energized. Blaze Pizza is truly the only pizza I eat because it always hits the spot and leaves me feeling good not heavy. It's consistent, delicious, and exactly what I crave. The customer service at the South Pasadena location is the best. The staff is always smiling, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The place is spotless, and you can see they're constantly cleaning. Overall, an amazing place with great food, great service, and great vibes. Highly recommend! read more

Decent pizza but the prices have gone up. I go for the digital deals online for a discounted meal. I ordered a two topping pizza deal that came with a drink. My pizza tasted good, solid choice if you want thin crust. Not sure if they've always charged extra for sauces but now it's a charge. Very busy spot during peak meal times but they have ample seating space. The parking here is a bit snug but you could find street parking. read more

Blaze Pizza - Sausage and pepperoni with hot honey glaze - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Disappointing-- won't be back. My wife and I tried to order wine with our pizza, which is on the menu as well as yelp page. They looked at us like they didn't even know wine was... and I'm like it's right on the menu above your head and then they just had zombie looks, didn't know, had no answer. Like pizza and wine had never been two things that have been consumed before on this planet. I can't deal with stupidity. Blank looks, zero brain cells, no customer service. Huge mountain of I could trash at the front door, Gross. read more

Pizza is nothing to write home about but a good spot when everyone is in the mood for different toppings. It's always clean and plenty of seating. Service is quick, but sometimes they are distracted or don't refill low toppings. read more

Pi Day! = $3.14 for your 2nd pie. Some locations have their line out the door. This location is busy but well managed and also it is a bigger Blaze. Love that they have gluten free dough and vegan cheese. I'm not vegan but I have gluten and dairy intolerances. Glad they are able to accommodate and we can build our own pizza. The employees are pretty organized, there's one taking the order, another one is taking care of the toppings, one putting the dough into the oven, one at the register, and one person putting pizza into boxes. Took advantage of their pi day promotion. Love it that they honor the gluten free as well into the promo, it's just the lesser pie price is the $3.14 one - which is still a good deal. Love that they have plenty of seats inside and pretty spacious. They have small parking lot and there's plenty of parking spots on the street. read more

Blaze Pizza - Gluten free dough and vegan cheese with few toppings. - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This is the second time I've been here and it has been a decent experience. There is ample parking in the back and a large seating area. They have an area where you can choose individual slices of pizza on display for about $4-$6 dollars. They re-heat the pizza slice in the oven which took about 5-10 minutes the second time around. I got the pepperoni and buffalo chicken but what I really wanted was the BBQ chicken which was really tasty the last time I had it but they ran out! These are generous slices and tasted decent! Nothing mind-blowing but for the ease and quickness of service and being fairly priced, it felt like it deserved a 4 star. Also to note, they have a sink right in the middle of the room so you don't need to go to the restroom to wash your hands (which honestly was not well ventilated). read more

Blaze Pizza - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Was here on a Sunday afternoon. Food is what you would expect. Nothing amazing or worth coming back for as there's so many other pizza joints. Prices, as with everywhere else, have really gone up. Now, they also limit you to only 7 toppings on a build your own. TIP: use the app to get digital deals if you want to roll dice with Blaze - especially at this location. Service at this location is terrible. Several tables were not bussed. Employees don't greet you at the counter. You have to uncomfortably wait several minutes for service. All three employees seemed genuinely annoyed to have customers coming in. I ordered and then had to ask for my salad twice. When they finally made the salad they didn't call my name and it sat on the hot metal counter with pizzas getting warm. Considering the high cost of going out and being on a budget, I've got to be more selective with where I spend my hard earned money and it won't be at this Blaze location any more. When people go out to eat, the quality of service is just important as the food. read more

I usually like Blaze Pizza and have been to several locations. This is one I feel is different from others. The service I have to say is pretty bad. When I walked in, there wasn't anyone in the store but 3 employees. All talking as I walked in. One was sweeping the floor, other came to take my order, then walked away saying the person sweeping would help me. Which she did after she finished sweeping. Then taking her time putting on her gloves. I was almost about to walk out. Then she comes. She puts very little toppings on my pizza and I'm one not to really like too much but she was being cheap. Not like any Blaze I've been to. When I got my pizza they didn't even ask if I wanted any other seasoning on top like others do. Will NOT be coming back here. read more

I love Blaze Pizza because you can customize your pizza just the way you like it. I usually load up on cheese and protein, and by the time my pizza is baked, it's huge. I've been to other locations, but this was my first time at this one. It's spacious, clean, and the young staff reminded me of my college days working part-time. They were friendly and accommodating. The three of us each ordered our own pizza and took them back to my house to watch a movie. It was a perfect evening with friends. read more

I was in the area and decided to treat myself to Blaze! As a first time customer, I knew the premise of the spot but didn't realize how extensive their sauce, cheese and toppings options are! Wow! I was in heaven haha It was around 2pm on Saturday and it wasn't busy at all. I let a guy go in front of me bc I was still deciding and wanted to see what he got hahaha after learning the ropes, I made my order with 1/2 garlic pesto, 1/2 spicy red, 3 types of cheese and various meat and veg - one being roasted broccoli yum!!!! The service was fine and friendly. I was stoked and took a snap of the pie / pre-boxed!!!! Seriously best pizza ever with so many options. Can't wait to try more and may be my new go to pizza place. read more

The food is good but the service I received today from the lady cashiering was terrible. I ordered the deal they have going on 5 items for 35 dollars. As I am paying the cashier asked if I would like purchase drinks I said no thank you just 3 water cups before I could say anything else, she says these cups are only for water. Yes I know this and if I wanted a fountain drink I would have gladly paid for it. It was all in her approach. My son needed to use the restroom they stated that the door was locked from the inside and that they could not open it (weird) you would think you as a operating business you should state that the restroom is out of service. Overall this was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever experienced. Please work on customer service! read more

So clean, welcoming and fast! All staff acknowledge you once you step in and make you feel welcomed. Definitely recommend!

After a long day of walking came here to fill up in carbs. The guys behind the counter were awesome. They asked if I needed a glove switch due to allergies etc. I got vegan cheeze w a variety of veggies. We came towards the end of closing so no line and empty-ish lobby. Place was reasonably clean. read more

Blaze Pizza - Vegan Pizza (11-inch) - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Comida riquísima. A mis hijos les gusta esta pizza mejor que cualquier otra. Es su pizza preferida.

I came for the food, but am never coming back due to the poor attitude in service. I will be specific: it was the so-called manager (female, middle-aged, fake blond-streaked hair with glasses) who had all the attitude of a dump truck. After ordering & paying for my pizza, I asked for a cup for water, and she snipped, "Just a second!" (As if I was pressuring her. Of course, I'd give her a second. I was just letting her know what I needed.) When my pizza was ready, she didn't speak, just lifted her chin to indicate that the pizza was ready. Also, when asking for napkins, she snipped (again), "They're behind you." No indicating the direction. Napkin holders were NOT plentiful, or on every table; just 2 spots. She clearly did not care to be helpful to customers. The attitude on her (the other workers were fine) shows how miserable she is at the job and frankly, driving customers away from a store that otherwise offers good food. The other reviews here align perfectly with my experience; it's unfortunate. With a proper manager, the store would get much higher ratings, for sure. read more

Blaze Pizza - Rude with a Capital R - mid "manager" - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I left after standing waiting to order for 5-10 minutes. Horrible service go to the one on main it's great

Food is decent for what it is, no complaints there. However the service drops this down to 2 stars. We get it, you're miserable. Don't drag the customer experience down to your level. The lady working the oven just gave me a "what..?" when I asked for some additional takeout items. Said thank you upon receipt and got no response. Prices go up, service goes down, amazing combination we are seeing these days.. read more

Did management or ownership here change? The culture is off. This doesn't seem to be the original blaze pizza. The menu was different. I'm wondering if someone else bought this branch bc its obvious. Please bring the original blaze menu back read more

~Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time~ This was one of my favorite jangles growing up and definitely should be a throwback to all my millennials out there! But if you're reading this review, you probably agree that pizza is delicious any time of the day. Blaze is my go-to build your own pizza franchise for good reason. I'm probably one of few to get pizza without cheese or minimal cheese but that's how my stomach likes it - sans dairy. I opt for mushrooms instead of cheese to cover the pizza and never has a Blaze employee questioned my life choices. I appreciate that the majority of crust options are vegan and I have so many to choose from: thin, regular, high rise, keto, gluten-free, & cauliflower (even though I usually stick with the thin crust). I get to pile on the toppings of my choice and can create whatever pizza I'm in the mood for. Afterwards, they pop it in their oven and you get to watch your pizza creation transform into pure deliciousness. Right before I take my seat to crush my pizza, I ask them to top it off with some arugula and drizzle some pesto for the finishing touches. Service is reliable and consistent at this location. Depending on the amount of pizzas cooking in the oven, it can take a little bit of time but nothing unreasonable. I love that they have their own parking lot as well as street parking available. Cheers my fellow pizza lovers! read more

I have come to this blaze many times. Food wise, I like this blaze better than the others because they seem to make the pizzas better. The service here is horrible! As many people say the "manager" acting person (female with glasses and tattoos all over her right arm) is completely rude! I have seen her snap at customers and be rude to them many times. People come in and wait for 5 minutes before getting service. I have seen this lady put her finger up to customers and say "wait" in a rude manner. This ruins the ambiance and experience of the restaurant. This time, she was rude to me! I asked if my order was ready and she replied rudely, "you're not the only one waiting for your food". This was rude and completely unnecessary! There was only 2 other customers there. It wasn't like it was a busy time. The other customers heard her too and had a disgusted look at her response! By the looks of it people have complained about her on here but blaze doesn't do anything about it! I have contacted corporate because her attitude is not necessary and if she continues to be employed with that attitude I will no longer be going back to blaze. I've had enough of her rudeness! read more

This location has convenient parking, nice seating area, and well maintained. Like all Blaze Pizzas, you make your own. I tried the cauliflower crust and really like the taste and texture. The pizza was really good except it was too salty. They messed it up! Wait, that was me...opps. One thing about these create your own joints is that if you don't like the pizza it's probably your own damn fault. Service was good and ambiance was pleasant and quiet at a late hour. read more

Blaze Pizza - Cauliflower crust. Inept chef made it too salty. - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Pizza is very much one of my weaknesses. Thin crust, deep dish, cafeteria style, pan crust, whatever crust, I'm in. The major thing for me though, is red sauce. I may dabble in the bbq sauce if the place is known for it (you know that bbq chicken pizza), but no white sauce, no pink sauce, RED. And Blaze does a very delicious red sauce. Blaze is your typical "make your own" pizza chains where you can choose either a cheese, 1 topping, 2 topping, or all the toppings you want pizza. I used to be a "all the toppings you want" pizza girl until I discovered 2 was the magical number. The cheese to sauce to crust to topping ratio is PERFECT. There's a lovely crisp, the red sauce flavor comes through, and cheese (mozzarella) is ever so light and tasty. Top it off with that pesto!! Honestly, a game changer. You can add arugula too if you want to make it feel healthier. I don't though :D I tried their brownie and cookie too. Holy smokes. So good. There's a small parking lot along with street parking. The staff is friendly. There's outdoor and indoor seating. Place is clean. For those on special restrictions, they have keto and gluten free crusts! Their regular crusts are vegan :) read more

3.5 stars This pizza joint will definitely fulfill your fire-oven pizza cravings. This is my first time at this particular Blaze and really liked how clean the restaurant was. There were 2 downsides - the line and mask mandate. I was hoping for a quick meal, but instead, stood behind a deceptively short line only to realize every customer ahead of me wanted 3 pizzas each. And then there were 2 employees who didn't wear masks. I know not all companies will enforce mask-wearing anymore, but I believe it should be a part of the food and safety guidelines. Like, why wear hairnets and gloves whiling handling food, but not a mask? Anyways, my personal opinions aside, this Blaze will definitely cure any pizza cravings. Free parking beside the store is a huge bonus in Pasadena. Arrive when the restaurant opens to avoid getting crazy amounts of black ash all under your pizza. I guess, that is another issue I have against Blaze... oh well... read more

A slow Monday night and they can't get it right. The service is terrible at this location. They made my order wrong which happens but how they handle is just pathetic. The manager shows little concern but could have offered a simple apology. Nope not a peep out of anyone. The owner needs to train his management on customer service. It starts from the top down and it shows with the staff. I'm going to Mama's pizza across the street next time. Do better if you want to earn my business in the future. read more

I came in here in the afternoon and the place was pretty empty. I always love coming to any Blaze pizza to get the "build you own pizza" for $9.65. You can load on as many toppings and ingredients as you like. The fountain drinks with their assorted teas are always delicious. The employee who helped me was very nice. The ingredients looked pretty well stocked. The seating area was quite large and the parking lot was empty perhaps due to the time of day. Overall, i had a good experience and would come back again. read more

Blaze Pizza - Pizza Near Me - South Pasadena, California

This place has really gone down hill and the company has extremely poor customer service so there's no way to get any resolution to problems. (The franchise location doesn't seem to have the ability to rectify any mistakes.) Over the past several months, I've had random but tolerable things wrong with orders (garlic instead of basil, banana peppers instead of roasted red peppers). But this last order...it's the last one I'll make. I ordered two 11-inch pizzas, one with vegan cheese, at 6:05 pm for delivery. The driver texted at 6:25 telling me they spoke with Blaze staff and the order would be ready in 5-10 minutes. Almost 50 minutes later, the driver arrived. As soon as I got the order inside I realized it was wrong and when I looked at the invoice, I confirmed that I was given someone else's order. My name was nowhere on the invoice and neither pizza was remotely close to what I ordered. I caught the driver before he left and told him he brought the wrong order. He just kind of shrugged. I called the location and after being transferred to 3 different people, I was told there was nothing they could do. They confirmed that my order was sitting there on the counter but they couldn't deliver it since they use a third-party. So I contacted the corporate office as suggested to request a refund since I never received an order. Instead, I received a canned response and a coupon for a free pizza. I don't want a free pizza. I want to be refunded for the two pizzas that I paid for but never received. There's no phone number to call and the only way to reach corporate is to use their feedback link on the website. I'm less mad about not receiving my order than I am about the refusal to refund it. I get that the franchise owner's hands are somewhat tied but I'm not taking another chance. That was my last order to Blaze. read more

Worst location in the SGV. One pizza burned and bitter as a result. The other, a pepperoni lover with supposedly 32 slices of pepperoni...well, see pics. This was a totally different pizza than the one that was assembled in front of me. Prices are low, so hate to complain, but rude manager to top everything off. Other staff is great and friendly. Still, though, totally dissatisfied with the food. read more
