This pizza is delicious. Doesnt replace the greasy one slice craving but it does fill a belly without letting you down. So delicious!! We love the pizza kits too - really good family activity - very doable for kids and very tasty.
Very unique experience for me-loved the speed at which they made the customized pizza. Crust was awesome we did the keto and the toppings we chose were all veggie woth a pesto finish ! Really good!
Really good and fresh pizza. They make it right in front of you, with a healthy number of customizations on offer. Really good value and taste plus welcoming staff, making the experience even better. The can overwhelm you the amount of olive oil so Id say to have a slight control on that, but overall its great place to have a delicious pizza.
As good as the pizza is, the incompetence of the people taking your order is just unbelievable!! The staff are constantly struggling to handle customer orders. I have been given a wrong pizza 2 times! This time my pizza was given to another customer - when that customer brought it back saying it’s the wrong pizza, the staff tried to give me the pizza as if it had not been contaminated - during COVID pandemicWhen I asked them to remake, the lady just would not listen to my order and made the order incorrectly!!Had to wait and watch them make my pizza a third time!!
Love how you can customize your pizzas here, theres so many options and all the ingredients are always fresh and delicious! The inside of the restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly, they have gluten free and keto options too!
Subway and Chipotle’s face-to-face food making method + Little Ceasar’s high speed cooking= Blaze Pizza. Imagine making a crust thin yet still dense somehow. Oh wait, they can and did!!! Definitely tied as my number one pizza destination now.
Great concept, excellent pizza! Crust choices for everyone-regular, keto, gluten free, cauliflower. Assembled as you order and ready quickly.
I came today @ 3:15ish the gentleman in the line who made my pizza was so sweet and king and so was the gentleman who gave me a side of hot sauce at the end, he had piercings was super kind and cute!
Terrible service. I ordered a simple pie and gotten the wrong pizza..because the two people were not paying attention and messing around instead of doing their job.
I always like to read the 1 star reviews before making mine. One of the biggest complaints is waiting for their Pizza. You cant compare blaze Pizza with McDonalds. These are custom made pies per order and that will take a little time. So if youre rushed for time or an impatient person go eat the garbage at McDonalds. Second complaint was counters be a little dirty. First off its not dirt mostly cheese that they were sprinkling on other pizzas that ended up on the counter. So any intelligent person will understand during peak hours the preparation area wont be 100% clean from toppings thats spilled off other pizzas. This was my first time there with 5 of my family members. We ordered seven different personal pizzas and it might have took a total of 20 to 25 minutes for each one of us to order and for each of us to get a finished product. And thats with about 6 to 8 other people in front of us. To me that isnt bad. The pizza dough is good for the type of pizza youre going to get here. To me blaze Pizza is all about the toppings. My pizza had 20 different toppings. And I was extremely happy with my lunch. For $8.95 where can you get a unlimited toppings personal Pizza custom made for that price and taste good. Im a friendly guy and the employees even though they were trying to concentrate on making all these pies as quickly as possible still maintain a friendly smile, he laughs at my jokes, and answered all my questions intelligently and friendly. Wowthey were making my pie they asked me if I was satisfied with the product and when I was totally happy thats when they sent it off to be cook. I was very happy with my pie. I couldnt finish it all and I will be uploading a picture of the leftover slices a day later. Ive just finished eating the leftovers and the pie was just as good as it was yesterday. Over all extremely happy with the product and I will be back. I would have gave this place five stars if the music was just a little bit lower and the pizza dough with a little bit better.
Excellent pizza, friendly staff and always good quality pizza and the employees have good attitude
Went here to try a new pizza place and i will be back again. Pizza was very good and there are tons of options for toppings and sauces (traditional red, spicy red or Alfredo sauce). Pizza is made and cooked right in front of your eyes in minutes. The line can build up quick but they are also quick on service so it equals out somewhat. Really good prices and friendly service
Basic pizza with ranch on half..delicious! Toppings are fresh and employees are friendly. Nice to watch the pizza making process.
I have lunch here every now and again... Even though they seemed short handed today, the newer guy in his 30s was excellent. I was very pleased with my experience and felt it needed to be mentioned.
The pizza was really good! Possibly better was the service. A young women named Shakirah helped us and she had such a great attitude. You could tell she really cared and wanted to help you have the best experience you could. Always appreciate that kind of service!!
Several options for the Vegan and Gluten Free folks. The art lover pizza is spot on delish!!!
Totally unprofessional: I tried to place an order for a pizza on the phone 11/21/2021 at around 6PM- I was driving from in from out of town, and being totally aware of ridiculous their wait times, when you order in store, I thought I would order an hour before I reached and can pick it up on the way home. The person who answered the phone said they were busy and cannot take the order on the phone.They have previously taken the order on the phone and even that is unprofessional- they want your credit card number- so if you are driving and wish to order with Blaze on the phone- please please memorize your credit card number- they are very worried that you will prank them by ordering a pizza and not showing up to take delivery.The wait time is horrendous, and the pizza is overrated. I switched today to Dominos- no problems with the ordering, they delivered on time and I will never be going back to Blaze anymore.
The best pizza around,. You cant beat them when u can get many toppings of different kinds of stuff on your pizza👍
All the team members are wonderful and they take care of people with different food habits. Nati was the best. The energy she have makes anyones dull moment into a Happy One.Thanks for your service.
The pizza was great, made just the way I wanted it & I would tell everyone who want pizza to go to Blaze
Deep dish - pepperoni, banana peppers. Pineapple, balsamic drizzle, they just need to cook it a few more minutes otherwise good pizza
This place is awesome ! Every pie is made to order ; personal pizza style. Nice arrangements of toppings and the ones I tried tasted delicious.
Vegan cheese without the upcharge you see everywhere else, so it stays affordable. Plus when I went this time they were doing a fundraiser with a local elementary school where they got 20% of each order which was also awesome!
The pizza was really good. The cheesy bread was great as well.
You can fully customize the pizza the way you like it! Ask to put some garlic pesto on the crust. So good.
It was a nice meal. One can get the small pies with a little extra cheese for a great price. Very nice.
A little confusing for first timers, and would be a pricey make your own pizza if you want anything put the original crust. Cauliflower crust was pretty good, gluten crust was on the thin side and high raise crust was ok.
One of the the best Pizzas I ever had!!!Must try their Red Wine , they will let you choose your own toppings, which is the best part.
The wait time is a little long, but the food is absolutely fantastic.
Really amazing Pizza. You can customize your pizza from the Base sauce to each little topping and cheese you wanna add.
Always on time.They have vegan option and they are cooking with wood fire.
Customer service is top notch. I was a little annoyed by the long line but they kept it moving quickly. If you ever get a chance to meet Evelyn (hope I’m spelling that right!) she’s my favorite!!!!!
Love the option to have a white pizza! I always ask for the pizza a little under baked so that I avoid any crispy parts. Get the olive oil on top!
1. Love the atmosphere. Modern, loud, and fast paced. Perfect for a quality/quick lunch or dinner.2. Blaze offers personal sized pizza with multiple options that include thin crust, cauliflower, and gluten free. Blaze’s has a great assortment of fresh ingredients. Overall, I was pleased with the pizza. Solid 8 out of 10.3. My only complaint is that I asked the employee that took my order if they offered smaller sized options for children and she offered a half sized pizza. Long story short a half size pizza with only cheese cost more than a full sized pizza with pepperoni.If I was informed of this I would have just ordered a full sized cheese pizza. Also, the half size pizza price wasn’t displayed anywhere on the menu. This pricing makes absolutely no sense. This puts a bad taste in my mouth, especially considering this is my first visit. Please fix your prices Blaze!
Great quality and affordable pizzas, available with customizations. Friendly staff and a great experience.
This blaze should be shut down immediately! Not only was my pizza burned to a crisp, I received poor customer service. After waiting 20 minutes for a manager who said she would refund MY order I was given a refund receipt with someone else’s information on it. This included PPI like name phone number address and card number. They are lucky I work for law enforcement and I told the unsuspecting person I was given her information instead of my own. The lack of professionalism and manner in which I was treated was disgusting. Save your money and time.
Took a bit to get the food because it was packed, but the Red Vine (margarita) pizza and the cheese bread was really good. The staff was great.
Very very clean. Quick competent. Awesome!!
Stopped here on a road trip from Minnesota with my family. I ordered it from the road, but because of a time zone difference on my phone they didnt have my order and our pizza wasnt ready yet when we arrived. They apologized profusely (like it was their fault!) And made my pizzas right away. The staff was so friendly and personable. The atmosphere is awesome, very rustic and comfortable. And the pizza is amazing! Good quality ingredients and they even offer gluten free crust. I also loved that they dont have men/women restrooms...they have 2 gender neutral restrooms.
Ordered two large chicken pizzas and pesto garlic knots. The white sauce is better than tomato. Tomato felt too tangy. The toppings were good and the pizza was baked just right. Pesto garlic knots were amazing.
Pizza is always good BUT do not come here if you want to social distance!! Went on a Saturday evening so not unusual that it was busy but it is IMPOSSIBLE to social distance inside this place. Staff were trying to hurry through the line so customers would have to get close to one another to hear the staff and choose toppings. No place to wait for your order once you have paid. One staff member did not even have their mask on while walking through a crowd of customers. Maybe better with curbside or at a non-peak time but wouldn’t recommend going inside the restaurant if you have even the slightest concern about COVID.
Love blaze. I’m glad I can continue coming here and eat vegan.
Very good pizza, especially the crust. The build your own pizza option for ~$9 allows you to pick unlimited toppings. They also have half pizzas for $5 for lunch during the week. Good value for money. Usually busy during lunchtime with a wait time of approximately 10-15 min.The app allows ordering online to skip the queue. It also offers special deals every now and then and allows you to collect points to earn a free pizza or drink.
The pizza here is reasonably priced and made fresh while you wait, and there are tons of options to make the perfect custom pie. All of the toppings look fresh and the presentation is very good. The staff is friendly and courteous, too. You can order online and save time when picking up your order. I really have no complaints about Blaze. Strongly recommended.
Great build your own pizza place. They sell personal pan size pizzas and you tell them what you want as they make it in front of you. I got the veg out and my husband got the bbq chicken. They were both delicious. The vegetables were fresh and the crust and sauce were great. Service was fast and friendly. I look forward to going back.
We loved the concept of this quick-casual restaurant. It was our first time visiting a build your own type of pizza place. Staff was friendly and helpful in going through the various options. Overall speed was quick considering the number of patrons and that its made it order. They also have some unique drink selections!
Great pizza made in front of your eyes, food - 5 stars. Location atmosphere - 3/5 stars.
At this build your own pizza place you get a personal size pizza (I can only eat half at one meal) with anything or everything you want for a reasonable cost. I love the thin crust. They also have a gluten free crust. Its slightly fascinating to watch them cook the pizza in the flames. Ordering on the app has it ready for you when you arrive.
Blaze Pizza lets you pick your own sauce, toppings, and pretty much every other aspect of the pizza you want. The quality of the ingredients is great, and the pizza was cooked perfectly (and fast: its placed close to an open flame). It didnt have anything particularly unique from other similar chains (e.g. 1,000 Degrees). Its a solid choice for a quick bite if you want something more than your average by-the-slice places.I knocked off one star because the ordering process itself took a while: the counter had run out of the cheese I asked for, and it took a few minutes to refill because they didnt seem to have labels on their small refill bins.
Man, that whole pizza was demolished in 1 sitting entirely by self. The pizza was phenoms!!! Pepperoni, sausage, banana pepper, green pepper, mozzarella, red sauce, and buttermilk ranch. I didnt feel bad eating it either. It felt great! The flavor was very good and the pizza was excellent! Man oh man! Repeat visit when I return to this area and will likely try the one back in Detroit. Thank you,
This place is a contender for the top pizza spot in my list. I love their pizza - great cheese, not too much sauce, and a delicious crust. I have eaten there a couple dozen times and never been disappointed. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone of my friends.
* The music is way too loud. If youre coming to talk with a friend, you might have trouble. If youre coming alone to read, that might be a problem too. The only thing louder than the music is the advertising every 15 minutes -- come on, youre a business, spring for the paid version of whatever stream youre using.* No straws to go with your drink.* The crust is merely okay. When youre in New York and use a machine to flatten dough, you arent doing great.* The toppings were many and varied. Lots of good ones to pick from.* The pizza is cooked at a high temperature, so you get some real nice browning.* The prices are pretty good.
Everything is 5 stars except the kitchen, the employees just throw stuff on the floor because it is quicker and sweep it up at the end of the night which imo is kinda gross. Also there is a lot of cross contamination, like I order black olives and in the black olive container there were also onions and spinach leaves just left ontop, which also grosses me out especially since I have many food allergies, however I havent gotten sick yet from eating here!
Pizza is very good. They have only one size, personal, but it satisfied. They serve cafeteria style. The crust is thin and crispy. The cheese and sauce delicious! We will return. There was a 20 minute wait to order, but it was worth it.
I Love it ,Amazing I never knew I could build my own personal Pizza until I went in here. The customer service isnt so great but is definitely worth the wait for that pizza
Yummy pizza that is soy free. (that is hard to find!). My only complaint is that the menu is not viewable while waiting in line (at lunchtime there is a bit of a wait). Once you get to the ordering station you then have to decide and it can hold up the line. If you had that time in line to peruse the menu options, it might make things move a bit more quickly. This can be an issue with new folks who arent familiar with the menu and process.
Pizza is surprisingly solid, and of course getting to choose whatever you want and have it baked quickly is nice. Also, they have Mexican Coke, which is a bonus. However, I cant stand the obnoxious restaurant design with high ceilings and zero soundproofing. That creates an incredibly loud and very unpleasant environment. So, that means takeout or delivery are really the only options, and given that, you have plenty of other, local, cheaper, and better options for pizza.
This weekend I ordered three pizzas during dinner rush hour. The place was packed, but the service was still amazing. The food came out hot and cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this place. My only suggestion would be to have a menu available right as the customers enter the line. The first time you are able to see the menu is when you are about to order and it is too late at that point.
Placed two orders tonight. The first, highly anticipated after a long gym workout, was the wrong item. Not the wrong size, not the wrong type, just wrong. I didn’t know that there were pizza toppings I hated until finding them compiled on this wrong pie. Called to inquire about the order I actually placed. Thomas, the young man who was kind enough to assist was very friendly and apologetic. Absolutely nothing wrong with his customer service! Got a refund and the recommendation to place a new order. Ugh, more waiting. Order number 2 placed at 8:45. At 9:17 I get an update that my order will arrive at 9:14. Finally, at 9:44 MY PIE rolls up... Cold like nuclear winter! Great pizza, but door dash lost a serious pizza-loving customer. Shame on you door-not-so-dashing people!
I order a build your own 11inch on ubereats this evening and when my pizza got here it was burnt. I was looking forward to having pizza from here and it was a total let down.
We love blaze pizza! Each time my adventurous son likes to see how many toppings he can pile on his pizza while my daughter is happy with just cheese. They feel special getting their own and we like to watch them being made! Yummy!
Visited during the lunch rush. I have visited this Blaze before and no matter what pizza you put together for yourself it is good. They just need to get a little more organized during busy times. Felt rushed through picking my pizza items to have the cashier backed up to pay. But my pizza was good.
I am so impressed. Already ate there twice last week and about to place an on line order right now to pick it up. Pizza is excellent, the crust is delicious! Many toppings to choose from! The price is super cheap for the quality you get! Staff is friendly and efficient. LOVE this place!
If you cant get a pizza that you enjoy at Blaze, then you have no imagination. Their standard crust is thin, but you can get a high rise or gluten free. Red sauce, spicy red sauce, white, pesto, no sauce, whatever. Great toppings from traditional to a little out there, including drizzles over the top at the end. I like a little olive oil drizzle on mine. My whole family loves the blood orange lemonade. Quick and tasty. Yummmm.
Every staff member cared about my preference of select ingredients (vegan) the manager Tom went up to the the staff member who is in charge of firing and asked him to change his gloves and a fresh roller to cut my pizza.This meant everything! I’ve never been to an establishment that cares this much about one persons order (and it was busy!) Will highly recommend!
Pizza is always amazing and super quick and my son loves being able to pick all of his own toppings and watching as they build his pizza! Best to order ahead online or with app or go in after normal dinner hours because otherwise u could be waiting for a while on a line that can go all the way out the door!
What a serendipitous find in a sea of choices. A unique pizza place with gourmet selections. We enjoyed every bite!
Fresh pizza made on order in front of you. Good service, pleasant waiters. Oven fired pizza, absolutly delicious. Surprisingly competitive prices. Nice student crowd though the place was quiet when we visited after nine pm. Great experience!
The food is delicious but the customer service seems low for being a fast-paced venue. It took 15 minutes for a Cesar salad and I was very hungry & their pricing for drinks is outrageous but again its not your normal establishment. People were very nice and the place is setup to be cozy & comfortable. Would recommend to others.
I love this place and the food. Never a bad meal and quick/ easy.
Upon entering Blaze Pizza, you’re greeted by warm industrial-themed lighting and lively pop music.A line leads up to the counter where a friendly cook asks if you’ve been here before and takes your order, carefully explaining all of your options.After the order is taken, you get to follow your pizza down the line as a very hard working crew quickly prepares it.At each of the three stops, a new pizza maker adds your desired sauces, cheeses, and toppings, making sure you get as much as you want.At the end of the line, a cashier rings you up and a final cook places the pizza into the big oven where you can watch it cook in just a few minutes.The quality of the pizza is unbelievable. The roasted garlic perfectly complemented the pepperoni, bacon, and goat cheese toppings with the perfect amount of mozzarella cheese and the LUDICROUS (yes, I told them ludicrous) amount of oregano.While I wouldn’t call this fast food – expect to be in line just about 12 minutes – this is definitely a great place to stop if you need a quick bite with great service.
Order here on N off. Online order placed for a large pizza which I guess they burnt pretty well. They compensated after reaching our car to leave. The second one was also burnt. I don’t know what’s up with the ovens today! Not a good pizza lunch this time
The pizza is always delicious. I usually order online and of course go pick it up. The online portal is easy to use and navigate.
I loved the freshness of the pizza selections and the variety. The service, similar to a cafeteria style line, is fast and efficient. The restaurant also has gluten free crust. The pizza was absolutely delicious.
I have eaten at the Stuyvesant Plaza Blaze Pizza many times. Tonight I chose to order from them through doordash. After waiting an hour for my order to come, and another 10 minutes for someone to pick up the phone when I called to ask if my pizza would be delivered, I have decided I will not eat at blaze Pizza ever again.A pizza delivery service that cannot deliver its pizzas on time and does not pick up the phone when customers call is not worth a customers time.Edit: I ordered a pizza through GrubHub from Westgate Pizza Bella. It arrived in twenty five minutes. The pizza is delicious.
We ordered curb side pickup as is common during COVID. We arrived right at 5:59 when we were instructed. Called and they said they were delayed 15 minutes. No problem, there’s a pandemic. Called 15 minutes later and now 10 more minutes. This dog and pony show went in for an hour and fifteen minutes until they said it was done awhile ago and they tried to deliver it to the wrong car. We left with cold pizza.I get it, it’s a pandemic. The issue is, if you can’t perform a curb side pickup. Don’t!I called later for a refund and the manager “Matt” was extremely passive of the situation.Update: was in touch the the owner and he is apologetic for the situation.
*Please see updates belowThe pizza is very good, the service is horrible. You will wait 30-45 mins for a pizza during lunch hour, whether you order online or not. The online order system glitches out, and there is no way to contact anyone about it. Also, They dont answer their feedback emails, so dont bother emailing it. I really like this concept, but the service is horrible.Edit:They contacted me and made this right. The food is fresh and takes some time to make. Worth the visit.
Really awesome place! The build your own pizza is amazing, you get so much for the price you pay. Plus they have gluten-free and dairy-free options. Definitely a fun place to go with a group or family
The food is great! Its just not a customer service place. They were handling money on top of my pizza 😬 The front looks nice and put together, I guess to cover up the mess in the back of the house. 🤷🏻♀️ The salad look really old... I hope they arent giving people expired salad.
The pizza was good, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Not a bad meal for under 20 bucks.
Food is really good and the price is good. My complaint is when I go there are 2-3 employees behind the counter that are just seem like their hanging out. Ive also encountered them just moving slow. There is also ALWAYS a bunch of fruit flies in the drink corner by the lemonades and juices. Its a good restaurant and a really cool concept, but could use a manager that is a little more strict.
Best walk-in pizza joint hands down. You can get gluten free or vegan pizza here. Their online ordering app allows you to order ahead skip the line. They also do delivery through a third party service.
Watch your individual pizza being made, from fresh dough to oven. Pick your ingredients: sauce, cheese, meats, a nice assortment of veggies, and they even do kosher, vegan, and gluten free perfectly! Its an assembly line and the line is long at lunch time, but its fun and moves along quickly.
I love the make your own pizza there. Besides the normal toppings they have whole garlic and artichokes, just to name a couple. I think the price is fair and the line moves pretty quick.
Total disaster. Fast food shouldn’t take 45 minutes especially when using their ‘simple’ app to order before you arrive. 3 of our 5 pizzas were done 25 minutes before the others.Poor service as well. Cashier was rude the whole time. A smile goes a long way.
Excellent service friendly staff fantastic pizza
Gross, girl tried to used same gloves to make our pizza that she handled her pen, touched her hair, and scratched her face with. Cool concept but like others said horrible service. Girl cutting our pizza had two nasty unwashed pizza cutters covered in cheese, sauce and toppings from past pizzas. Asked for a fresh pizza cutter to be used, or simply a clean one. Got an attitude and would only do it if i stated there were allergy issues. Person folding pizza boxes in dining room with cardboard shavings and pieces everywhere. Watched the kid cutting dough wipe the sweat and itch his face multiple times with his gloved hands while portioning dough.If it was cleaned up and properly ran could be a goldmine but only reason this place exists is its in a high traffic area.
Ordered from blaze for the first time, 2 pies cost me $41. Huge disappointment. I could have ordered from Dominos and it would have been better. I Didnt have a choice in how I ordered because they pushed online orders and didnt I didnt get an option to give further direction for my order. I added goat cheese to one of the pies and it didnt taste like it was even on the pie. The crust did not taste any different then a chain crust and the red sauce that was lathered on the pie was bland. A waste of money.
This is our new favorite go-to pizza place. The pizzas are delicious and you can build them with a wide variety of toppings and sauces. Also love the Kale salad with citrus dressing. Pretty good variety of beverages, too, The Vitamin Water is great for me as I can not have carbonated drinks.
Its the subway of pizza places. You build your pizza from the sauce up complete with toppings you didnt know you wanted. They have premade options if the whole experience is a little overwhelming for your first time. Even when the line is long it moves quickly so youre never standing long. The shining star in my opinion is their blood orange lemonade.
One of the better pizza options in albany
Thin and crispy crust. Very good , and they have a vegan pizza. Thumbs up
Delicious pizzas. Theres usually a queue during lunch time and after work. However it is fast moving. They let you customize your pizza to your liking.
Traveling wanted a quick stop so I looked up good pizza places in Albany area close to interstate 90. Never had heard of or had blaze pizza before. Called and found out you cant call in an order, so had to order online. Ordered, paid then found out that once you arrive they put the pizza in to be cooked. I called again and was told its quick so Id have to wait and check in before they would cook it. Arrived and checked in. Waited 15mins and saw lots of other people arrive and leave so decided I would check back in. Found out that they forgot to put our pizza in and would have to wait another 10 mins or so. This was supposed to be a quick stop and turned into a long stop that we could not afford having. Customer service is terrible as they did not care that we had waited. I did complain and they finally just said sorry and moved onto the next customer. Pizza was just ok. You get what you pay for I guess. Next time if i cant place an order over the phone Ill know to find another pizza joint!
Ive eaten here twice and I had to stand in line a long time to place my order, they were rude, and the pizza was nearly tasteless. In my mind the place attracts people because its a gimic.
Great as always. And not very expensive too.
So. I am not a big person, just keep that in mind. I wouldn’t recommend this place because the pizza is thin and in my opinion even though you get your own personal pizza, I went back in line for another one and ate half my dates pizza. Still went to coldstone ice cream next door after. It’s overpriced and weird-small and too thin. So, left hungry and that date didn’t work out because I ate his pizza basically while waiting for my next one to be made. Yea, blaze pizza, more like a blazing trail of fire behind me running away!
Why there is a line out the door when their pizza comes out like this I will never know.
Love the concept of choosing your own toppings for one fixed price. Everything is fresh and made right in front of you when you order. Workers are very friendly and patient. The blood orange lemonade is delicious!
I love Blaze, but the line at this location was unreal and the staff was a bit slower than most locations and even dropped someones pizza, lengthening the line. I ended up being there over a hour. I was just driving though ALB and hoping for a quick bite. Food of course was delicious.
Pizza was good (not the most flavorful, but that may have been due to my pizza choice), staff was friendly and order came out quickly and as expected. This was my first Blaze pizza visit and Im not disappointed. Good portions for the money, quality ingredients and clean restaurant. Recommended.
Blaze pizza is the place to go to if you want a specialized and flavorful pizza. With the custom pizza option you can almost literally put as much of a topping or a wide variety of toppings as youd like. This allows for mouth watering combinations of fresh ingredients. You can choose a combination of different: sauces, cheeses, meats, veggies and other toppings.Highly recommend if you are looking for multiple toppings, fresh ingrediants and flavorful pizza.
Food was delicious and it was a fun experience getting to make my own pizza. The staff was very was above and beyond polite. Amanda even came by to check and make sure we were doing well. Will definitely be back.
The staff were very careful when preparing the pizza for a family member who has food allergies. They used sauce from a different container, changed gloves before making the food, and they used a different pizza cutter to cut the pizza. Good pizza as well.
Line moves right along smoothly. Order placing is simple. The only drawback is how the place echoes, especially with masks, very hard to understand voices. I enjoy their food.
Like pizza? Youll LOVE Blaze!! My go to spot for quick, hot, made to order pizza. The sauce and topping choices are endless and the pizza (unless you choose the gluten free crust option) is never more than $7.95+tax no matter how you craft it. The only problem...stopping by a little too often 😉.
This place is always busy but always worth it. Highly recommend the high rise crust, especially if you are like me and want every single type of cheese and most toppings (one of the only places where its one price for as many toppings as you want), it holds it all together and is enough food for 2 meals
This place is quite the find. Service was quick and the help was really friendly and helpful. Have them make a pizza with any topping and as little or much as you want. How can you not like that?
The staff is great. They offer gluten free pizza and the servers take the necessary steps to provide a safe space to eat. By the way.. The pizza is amazing.
Never had pizza this good. Service was fast and cooked the pizza fast. Though you have to yell in order for the person to hear what you are ordering. Overal great experience and will come back. 🙂
I ordered from blaze a few days ago through the online portal. Scheduled for a pick up about 40 minutes after I had ordered, within 5 minutes I received an email saying my order was received but about an hr later my coworker who was picking up lunch called me and said they had not received the order and would take about 10 minutes to remake the order. I sent her a copy of the online receipt saying the order was received, half hour goes by she calls me back saying the staff claims the order never came through so they can refund the money or we can get in the back of the line and re order but have to wait until all of the other orders are complete first (all of the orders that were taken way after mine) I told her to get a refund and a receipt. She came back to work saying they refunded me but couldnt produce a receipt I would get the money back in 24 hrs. 4 days later no refund and no receipt of a refund. Would not recommend this location, she said they seemed lazy and just lacking work ethic so tried to play it off and get her out of the store rather than making the order or giving me my money back
Love the wide variety of toppings. Pretty fast and they customize the pizza pie just for you. Music is a bit loud and makes it hard to have a conversation with a group.
Pizza was GAS, Lebum James is better at making pizzas than playing basketball. We went with Bryan and he made a good first impression, definitely seems gas mental pog.
Blaze Pizza was great! Food was terrific, service was fast. Received our pizzas quickly. My daughter loved the smores pie, said it was excellent.
My kids LOVE this pizza, so we come here a lot. Never had a bad experience. Pizza isn’t always made exactly the same way, which I like.
Ordered a customized pizza online. They have so many options of ingredients to choose from . Fast delivery and great service. Pizza is delicious. Will definitely order or visit again.
Yes, I went to this location this evening and it was great. Everybody working together, the young man, kept going to wherever the backup occurred to knock it down. He was very pleasant to talk to. He definately had a bunch of other customers laughing. Its nice to see a Manager actually care about whats going on in the store, he seems to care about his employees as well. Telling the how well they are doing and to keep up the good work. We have had bad experiences here, bit if thos is the new Manager guy we will definately be back to see him and his team. They were all great. Thank you Blaze!! Thank you Tom for making us a priority and caring about your guests. It is appreciated.
Love this place. Large personal pizzas made with whatever you want on them. Think Chipotle, but pizza. Quick, affordable and very tasty. Its only pizza though so dont go looking for anything beyond that. No breadsticks or pasta or anything. They have one dessert option that kind of sucks. Just go eat their pizza. I typically have a slice or two leftover to take home. Its also very fast so great for takeout. No delivery.
Excellent food, but the service has been terrible the two times I was there. Line out the door both times, line barely moved. The second time I had ordered online to avoid the line, and they only made one of the two pizzas, the other they had completely forgotten about, so I ended up waiting there forever anyways.
30 dollars for skinny pizzas. Not worth it. Drink was water down. Wish I could get my money back. Nics for now on. 30 dollars at nics I could have ate for 2 days. Also it was cold inside, I thought I was sitting outside.
They are always running behind here but it’s well worth it because the pizza is delicious.
The food here is really good BUT THE MUSIC IS ALWAYS WAAAAY TOO LOUD!! Also, they need a much more efficient process to deal with phone and online orders; Ive frequently seen the line reach literally to the door and not move because the staff is busy making pizzas for people who arent there.
Super quick even on their busy days. The options are all laid out in front of you so you have a variety to choose from. If you dont feel like choosing theres always a put together already option. Best Pizza Ive had at Albany.
Was a bit disorganized. They didnt have enough of the high rise dough ready for the influx of customers that came in for the fundraiser that night. Then when our food came out of the oven they mixed up all the little papers and the #s for the pizza so they had no idea which pizza went where. They need to get it together.
Its decent. The only thing is the line is always so so long each time I have been. You are going to wait as long as if you ordered a whole pizza for delivery from another joint.
Blaze is awesome. You cant really go wrong since you get the exactly what you want on your own pie. Unless what you want is.. ANCHOVIES! Which I love. In spite of at least 4 cheese options, 5 kinds of ham/ bacon/pork/sausage.. No fish. i realize they arent for everyone. But if they had them along woth virtually every imaginable topping, Id give them the 5 th star. Try the arugla on your piping hot pie. yum!
What a great concept for fresh made build your own pizza. Hundreds of combinations are possible, if you like choices. The pizzas come out pretty quick and they are great every time.
Great pizza!! Had an issue and management took really good care of me - good people, very thankful for them and pizza is always fresh and tasty!
It does taste good. If there are none of the local pizza places open, its better than freezer section pizza, because they cook it.
Food is always great but tonight service was phenomenal! They appeared to be slightly understaffed but service was quick and polite! Amanda checked to make sure we were enjoying our meal and even helped me fold a pizza box instead of just laughing at me!
Service is hit or miss miss-- Ive had a few times were my order was messed up and had to wait as they correct the problem. Pizza is ok, not bad not great. Lots of toppings and (usually) quick service.
Great concept. Build a pizza or order from menu. Sometimes the pizza is cooked a little too long and the crust gets burned.
Stopped on a road trip with the family traveling west. Every single employee was nice and helpful. The food was fresh, hot, and fast. I let the manager know that the entire family was thoroughly pleased. This place is excellent!
Can be skimpy with pizza ingredients. But they to put more on per request dont be shy. Its probably just because they can add toppings easier than they can remove them.
It was a nice experience service was great and prompt
Amazing pizza! Customer service was delightful! Very warm and kind atmosphere! 5 stars all day and highly recommended!
I love this place. There are so many options for the build your own pizza. The staff are friendly and service is quick! The prices are reasonable too!
Blaze is always good for a lunch stop. Build your own pizza with a good selection of toppings. The staff is friendly and helpful and the pizza size about right for two people.
The pizza was wonderful, fair price, and FAST. Oh yea, the people were very upbeat and seemed happy to help us get a pizza. We will absolutely go here again soon.
They had a wonderful sauce they drizzled on my pizza after it came out of the oven. I had the gluten free crust. The worst thing about the place was they had little bugs flying around.
Been here twice and REALLY enjoyed it both times. Most recently had the meat eaters pizza with black olives instead of onions, with a drizzle of Buffalo sauce - - its the food of the gods.
I was really impressed with the pizza and the service. They will put all the toppings you want for the same price. Pizza was very good (not the best I have had but for around $ 10 it was good).
Service was great its a new way of getting pizza. Quality of food is alright you can tell the sauce is from a can. Overall good.
Pizzas good but customer service sucks. The guy cutting pizzas gave away my garlic knots to one of his friends for free. 10 minutes later theyre finally ready
As a first timer, this was GREAT!! Lyndsay was amazing and took the time to make sure I was taken care of! Keep making a difference
So Good! The crust is the star here. The wait can be a bit long but you can customize your pizza to your liking and they make it fresh.
Great place with an interesting concept, but really just something you try once and then forget about. Lines are long but well managed and move quick. Dont let it deter you. Menu is overwhelming so if its your first time ask the employees behind the counter to help explain it to you. They dont mind and they can give you a quick 30 second explanation of everything you need to know.
Most Value for Money Pizza in town wherever they have store. The B.Y.O option, although being a pizza, one can manage calories with all taste and hunger. Its the no. 1 choice amongst friend and family. Must try.
Cant say anything negative About Blaze! On point and if theres ever any issue they will certainly make sure your satisfied!
First time here and I loved it. I went around lunch time and there was a line but that employees moved quickly and made sure they got everyones order right. They even had someone walking around asking if everything was alright and clearing your table if needed. Definitely will be coming back
The food and service is amazing! My only complaint is their compliance to pretentious diets, especially Kellens ridiculous request. If you walk in and see Kellen, I recommend coming back in 35-40 minutes.
The chicken isnt the best and avoid the cherry tomatoes because they release a lot of water, but other than that its a fun pizza spot, and the, marinara sauce and dough knots are delicious
Their pizza was great! You can make your pizza however you want it and they cook the pizza in a wood-fired oven that takes only a few minutes.
First time there and it was amazing! You can watch them make your pizza. You choose how you want it. It was a great experience!
Build your own pizza allows you to choose as much or as little toppings as youd like for less than $9. They are personal pizzas crafted around your cravings.
Great idea. Pizza is a good size, decent price. Can get a little confusing/backed up at the pickup counter since it takes a few minutes to actually cook the pizza.
Fast, efficient, keto crust, good choices for toppings. Definitely will return.
It always takes 20-30 minutes to even place an order. Why am I standing in line for that?! So the Blaze owners can live out their sick assembly line fantasy? I only go because I mystery shop it. Otherwise wouldn’t step foot inside.
Love Blaze Pizza! Fresh ingredients, and endless options to customize your pizza. Download the app, and get discounts/coupons
Its like chipotle but pizza instead of burritos. Owned by the same company and same concept. Pretty inexpensive too with fresh ingredients. Be prepared for a long wait usually and slow staff.
Most people that love blaze pizza doesnt have good taste in pizza. I think its average for a pizza but its a chain so therefore it doesnt beat an actual NY Style Pizza.
We always enjoy the experience.
Best pizza around. Really love the variety and the many options for pizza selection. Be prepared for a bit of a wait but very much worth it!
There we so many tiny black flies everywhere! I saw then behind the glass where the saucing station, one of the workers covered the fly with the brown paper. Another worker commented on how filthy a station was. When I rang out what I handed the App for points, the cashier said the scanners werent working that can do something in the app but they didnt know what... Proceeded to just shrugged their shoulders.Will be going to Clifton Park in the future
Blaze Pizza is basically a subway/Moes with pizza. Its an amazing place to go for a date or anything. Worth it. I would recommend the high rise dough
Messed up pizza order. Had to wait over 30 minutes for them to remake pizza after my online order said itd be ready. Second pizza was messed up again. Didnt feel like waiting another 20 minutes for them to remake it again so left with the wrong order
Said they were understaffed, but I only waited 5 minutes for all 3 of us to get our own pizzas. Very polite staff!
I enjoy this place regularly for lunch. It’s crowded but what do you expect during the lunch hour? It’s worth it to me. They make it how I want it and they do it with a smile. 😁Will go back repeatedly and bring visitors here too!
Coming from someone who worked in a pizzeria growing up, the quality and price is unbelievable in the capital region. We are so lucky to have Blaze in Albany (let alone in Stuyvesant Plaza).
Great pizza. Great vegan options. The Subway of pizza.... they make it to order right in front of you. Fast, cheap, delicious.
If you like pizza go here. Download their app and order ahead to skip the line. They have vegan options and really tasty ingredients.
Great service, above and beyond customer service and attention to detail. Loved!!! The pizza.
I liked this place a lot the first couple times I tried it but quickly began to notice that the quality of what you get depends on the people working that day. The customer service and actions of the employees while I have been waiting for food has made me NOT want to return here.
Antipasto pie is a great idea. Tasted excellent and there was an very good, if limited, beer selection. I recommend this place highly.
I love the build your own pizzas here. You can add whatever you want to and they taste amazing !
Eating here right now. The first staff person in line was not helpful. She didn’t have any patience for questions from an eight year old. The rest of the staff in line were ok. The food was ok.
Well-run franchise at this location and very busy.
The personal pizza was great, the cheese was just okay.
This was a unique pizza experience. The subway of pizza. The service was so friendly. The pizza was perfect. Seldom have I had better pizza.
Great pizza, nice people, theres a little wait time but thats to be expected when youre building your own pizza.
Terrible！terrible！terrible！when i come to pick up my order，the stuff said someone pick it up，and they didnt let the person provide the details about this order，so stupid！and they wasted my time ，so bad
They are a team. And work well together. The pizza is not bad and tbe place gas a nice atmosphere.
Excellent Pizza! Excellent price!
I always love going to Blaze! I never heard of Blaze before coming to Albany, so this will always be my original Blaze Pizza place and I love their pizza and also drink options.
A great place for a quick lunch or dinner. Ordered the half pizza/half salad combo. So yummy and a great price!
Make your own pizza is a chance to make your own mix, delicious. Thin crust is absolutely great
If you want fast and fresh pizza. Then try it out so tasty and the tin crust is delicious
Good pizza choices and taste.It’s just pretty expensive $9 for a thin crust make your own pizza.
Choose own ingredients as you walk through assembly line. Pizza is good. Orchard tavern is better.

2021-08-14Red vine is hands down one of my favorite pizza! It is thin, healthy and tasty with fresh mozzarella, basil and cherry tomatoes. This time I also ordered the new pesto garlic cheesy bread. That was good too. I wonder if they stopped making the garlic pesto knots?

2021-07-31Ive eaten here half a dozen times and have been pleased with my pizza every time. I especially appreciate the vegan cheese option, and gluten free crust. Im not vegan, but have a dairy allergy which would normally make pizza completely off limits. This is place saved going out for pizza for me. As far as customer service goes, this location has been good. Today they actually messed up my order, but they handled it very well.

2021-12-282:33 pm. No dough. 2 girls talking behind counter with 12 people in line. Finally some kid with blue hair is making dough. Guess no one else feels like working? How long do the pizzas sit getting cold before you box them? 10 MINUTES???

2022-02-11This location is decent but not as good as the Clifton Park one. They taste the same but this location always seems to rush through the preparation of your pizza and the toppings are never even. The cut is way way off so you get a sliver piece next to a triple piece. They just need to slow down and bit and focus on the quality of the product.

2022-02-11I was honestly afraid to eat anything from this place after waiting in line and being able to visibly see how filthy everything was. Yes, they were busy and yes, counters get dirty in busy food establishments but from the counters, to the vent above the over with dirty hand prints all over it, to the walls, I was completely disgusted. Then... when, making my pizza, the employee took their gloved finger and wiped any sauce from the outside of the dough and flicked it in the center, which might be standard practice for all I know, but completely grossed me out. I see the appeal of the whole make your own pizza quick theme they have going on but I will definitely not be a repeat customer.

2022-04-04Its always a great time. Employee hustle is an understatement. These folks were working hard and quick. Just thinking about putting in an 8-hour shift, there makes me tired. Delicious pizza 🍕 every time we go there.

2022-05-19A little pricey at $14 for a Pizza and a large soda. But I will say my Pizza was delicious original dough, spicy red sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese, salami, sausage, bacon, spinach, banana peppers, oregano. Very nice combination highly recommend 👌.

2022-04-22Would be a 5 star review because the pizza is so good and the staff was friendly and helpful... But the wait!! About 10 people ahead of me and it took 45 mins from walking through the door to walking out with my hot custom pizza.

2022-06-14How can someone not like Blaze Pizza?? You know the taste that you know you just found something good? This is what I felt when I first tasted the pizza here. Since than too many bites here. Lol.
