after watching a buzzfeed video and googling that edmonton has blaze pizza, i got super excited. i normally don't get excited for pizza, but this seemed promising. they have quite a unique concept. you can order everything online if you wish and just drive to the location of your choice to pickup. they'll cook your pizza when you arrive and it takes no more then 5mins. and all their prices are set and super reasonable. they don't really have sizes to their pizza, just one size. comparable to a medium sized pizza at pizza hut i would say. which is perfect portion size for just one person. they have a open front similar to subway. and you can have someone build your pizza to your liking. with as many topping as you like for a set price of $11.65.
i kept things simple to try things out. i got their caesar salad, simple pie ($7.45) and red vine pizza ($11.65). now for the price, the caesar salad was probably the worst thing. the romaine was sort of soft and the portion size was horrendous. i kinda laughed when they handed it to me, like seriously? i rather go to a grocery store and pickup a family size for the same price. but the pizza oh man was this good. the red vine pizza is essentially a margherita pizza, just sauce, tomatoes, mozzarella & torn basil leaves. and it was delicious and their thin crust is really something. perfect crunch/snap when you take that bite. but my absolute favourite was the simple pie. basically a cheese pizza, but this really won it for me. yeah it's super basic, just dough, sauce and cheese but just something about the tomato/red sauce they use. it's sweet & tangy which adds a nice blend of flavour with the cheese. and for less then $8. man i could eat 2 of these but that's not a good idea...
i can't wait for the next time i make my next trip back to blaze pizza. i might even fancy this place over famoso for a little while just because it's so damn affordable. all for less then $25, and maybe avoid the salad. definitely try this place out!
