In celebration of its grand opening,
Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza, the recognized
world leader in fast artisanal pizza, is
off ering the Fresh Meadows community
free pizzas on Aug. 1.
On Wednesday, July 31, the leading fast
casual brand opened a beautiful kitchen
restaurant in the community near Chase
Bank at 187-12 Horace Harding Expwy.
Following the grand opening, anyone
who visits the new location on Th ursday,
Aug. 1, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and downloads
the Blaze Pizza App will receive a
free build-your-own pizza. Customers are
also encouraged to grab a freshly made
salad, iconic blood orange lemonade, or
s’more pie dessert on their way out.
Since 2012, Blaze Pizza has been serving
artisanal pies that are both fast and aff ordable.
Each restaurant features an interactive
open kitchen format that allows
guests to customize one of the menu’s
generously sized personal signature pizzas
or customers can create their own, all
for around $8.
“Our mission at Blaze is really simple —
we’re taking pizza back to its roots,” said
Jim Mizes, president and CEO of Blaze
Pizza. “By making dough in-house, using
carefully sourced ingredients and cooking
by fi re, 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.”
Every pizza features Blaze’s made-fromscratch
dough with all-natural meats and
vegetables, and is fi nished on an openfl
ame oven which cooks pizzas in three
minutes fl at. For guests with special dietary
needs, Blaze off ers gluten-free dough,
vegan cheese, animal rennet free dairy and
tree-nut free pesto. Each of the elements
have assisted the brand with becoming the
fastest growing restaurant in history.
Driven by its commitment to “Intelligent
Choices for Our Pizzas, People & Planet,”
the Fresh Meadows restaurant is constructed
with recycled and sustainable
materials, uses eco-friendly packaging
and features energy-effi cient LED lighting.
Th e restaurants stylized design was
inspired by its celebration of unconventional
thinking and individuality.
Blaze Pizza is looking forward to
building strong roots within the Fresh
Meadows community. Th e local restaurant
