(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/27/16 -- 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 Massachusetts location, in Cambridge, on Thursday, June 2nd. To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will offer FREE build-your-own artisanal pizzas on Friday, June 3rd from 11:00 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 2,700 square foot interior and an outside patio, is located at 1 Canal Park, between Lechmere Station and Cambridgeside Galleria. This summer, Blaze will add two other Boston locations -- one near iconic Fenway Park (1282 Boylston St.) and one in City Place (123 Stuart St.), near Boston Common and Emerson College.
"I''m thrilled that Blaze is bringing their custom-built pizzas to Boston," said Tom Werner, Blaze Pizza investor and Red Sox co-owner. "Blaze has been a home run around the country, and I am convinced that our city is really going to enjoy this new approach to fast-casual. Blaze is redefining the way people think about and eat pizza, and I''m proud to be a part of this game-changing brand."
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. Almost all of the pizza and salad ingredients are free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and fillers and for pizza fans with specific dietary needs, Blaze Pizza offers gluten-free dough and vegan cheese.
"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."
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.
Blaze Pizza is looking forward to building 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.
The Massachusetts locations are locally owned and operated by BGR Hospitality, a franchise group developing Blaze Pizza in the state.
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 leading fast-casual pizza chain in the 2016 Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report, Blaze Pizza is building momentum and developing a cult-like following as it expands across the country. The company currently operates 138 restaurants in 29 states and Canada, including the major metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Dallas, Las Vegas, 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, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner and movie producer John Davis.
