(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/19/15 -- Blaze Fast-Fire''d Pizza, the fast-casual artisanal pizza concept known for its chef-driven menu and casually hip restaurants, announced today that it will open its first Oklahoma location, in Oklahoma City, on Thursday, October 22nd. To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will offer FREE build-your-own artisanal pizzas on Friday, October 23rd from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to anyone who follows Blaze Pizza on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. The highly anticipated restaurant, which features a 2,900 square foot space with seating for 70 inside and an outdoor patio, is located at 2410 W. Memorial Rd., near Lowe''s.
Blaze Pizza is a modern day "pizza joint" serving up artisanal pizzas that are both fast and affordable. Since its first restaurant debuted in 2012, Blaze has quickly become one of the nation''s hottest restaurant concepts, with fans lining up each day for the custom-built pizzas, freshly made salads, blood orange lemonade and s''more pies. Each restaurant features an interactive open-kitchen format that allows guests to customize one of the menu''s signature pizzas or create their own, choosing from a wide selection of fresh, artisanal ingredients -- all for about $8. The generously-sized personal pizzas are then sent to a blazing hot open-flame oven -- the centerpiece of the restaurant -- where dedicated pizzasmiths ensure that the thin-crust pies are fast-fire''d and ready to eat in just 180 seconds. Restaurants make their own dough from scratch using a recipe developed by critically-acclaimed Executive Chef Bradford Kent (the "Pizza Whisperer"), which requires a 24-hour fermentation period to produce his signature light-as-air, crisp crust. For pizza fans with specific dietary needs, Blaze Pizza offers gluten-free dough and vegan cheese. The Oklahoma City restaurant will also feature a selection of wine and craft beer.
"Our mission at Blaze is really simple -- we''re taking pizza back to its roots, " said Jim Mizes, president & COO of Blaze Pizza. "By making dough in-house, carefully sourcing ingredients, and cooking by fire, we''re giving guests a great way to enjoy artisanal pizza without the wait. It''s changing the way people think about and eat pizza."
Blaze''s obsessive attention to detail extends well beyond the food, with a carefully considered, modern approach to restaurant design. Driven by its commitment to "Intelligent Choices for Our Pizzas, People & Planet," the restaurant is constructed with recycled and sustainable materials, uses eco-friendly packaging, and features energy-efficient LED lighting. Additionally, many of the restaurant''s unconventional design elements were inspired by the company''s celebration of individual expression, including an oversized wall graphic, which was custom-built to suit the space.
Blaze Pizza is looking forward to continuing to build strong roots within the community. To that end, the company has developed a turn-key in-restaurant fundraiser program that returns 20% of an event''s proceeds back to local organizations, and will be partnering with local schools, sports clubs and other organizations to host fundraising events at the new restaurant.
Restaurant developers and restaurateurs David Ostrowe from Oklahoma and Dominic Flis from Arkansas have partnered together to develop Blaze Pizza throughout two states. "Blaze Pizza is very unique. High quality ingredients, awesome value and blazing fast! I couldn''t be more excited," said David Ostrowe.
The first Blaze Pizza® restaurant opened on Aug. 6, 2012, in Irvine, Calif., and quickly gained attention for its chef-driven recipes, thoughtful interior design, and a service culture that celebrates individuality. Now ranked as the overall #2 fast-casual brand in FastCasual.com''s annual Top 100 list, Blaze Pizza is building momentum and developing a cult-like following as it expands across the country. The company currently operates 89 restaurants in 21 states and Canada, including the major metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Dallas and Washington D.C. Founded by Elise and Rick Wetzel (co-founder of Wetzel''s Pretzels), the concept is backed by investors including LeBron James, Maria Shriver, Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner and movie producer John Davis.
