Stop trying to figure out what pizza topping will please your whole crew! At Blaze Pizza in Asheville, everyone can order exactly what they want in their own made-to-order pizza. They specialize in delivering quality pizza at lightning-fast speeds so you can have a filling meal with plenty of time for the rest of your day’s activities.
When we walked into Blaze Pizza, the smell of sauce, garlic, and bread greeted us, letting us know we were in for a flavorful treat. The menu featured some favorite combinations, such as the Carnivore, which had three savory meats and plenty of cheese, or the veggie-friendly Herbivore, topped with practically an entire salad. If you don’t want one of these combinations, you could opt for a build-your-own, picking and choosing the toppings that best meet your needs. There are over 30 toppings and multiple sauces to choose from, giving you the freedom to be creative.
One thing that sets Blaze Pizza apart is the option for multiple crust types. The traditional crust is a thinner option, but you could choose a gluten-free dough, a cauliflower crust that is also gluten-free, and a high-rise dough.
Ordering pizza is easy because you tell the worker exactly what you want. Then, after your pizza is built to your liking, it goes into a wood-fired oven, where it gets cooked right before your eyes. It comes out hot, fresh, and crisp.
This is a fast-casual restaurant, so choose your seat and enjoy your pizza or salad. We were pleasantly surprised at how large and fresh the pizzas tasted, and we had our choice of drinks from the soda machine, but we found the house-made lemonade to be particularly refreshing.
You won’t leave hungry if you choose to dine at Blaze Pizza. In addition to the pizzas, which come in 11-inch and 14-inch sizes, they also have cheesy breads, salads, and desserts.
Here are some favorite pizza combinations at Blaze Pizza:
Blazed BBQ
With just the right amount of tang, Blazed BBQ chicken pizza packs a punch. Tender chicken sits on top of the store’s signature BBQ sauce. It’s then sprinkled with cheese and topped with red onions and jalapeños for an extra punch. You’ll find the cooling ranch dressing drizzle is just what it needs.
Vegan
Vegan diners rejoice! There’s finally a pizza for you that’s packed with flavor. Starting with red sauce and vegan cheese, this pizza has a spicy vegan chorizo combined with basil and fresh veggies. The olive oil drizzle pulls it all together. Since most of the restaurant’s crusts are vegan, you can choose the one that best fits your tastes.
Meatball Pie
Meatball Pie is topped with juicy, flavorful meatball crumbles. Combine this with a house-made tomato sauce and dollops of ricotta cheese, and you have a hearty pizza that’s full of unique flavor. Don’t worry; it still has plenty of mozzarella to go with the rest.
Pesto Garlic Cheesy Bread
If you’re adding a side, we recommend this twist on a classic. It features oregano and a chopped garlic pesto drizzle on top of the traditional mozzarella cheese bread.
We found Blaze Pizza to be a tasty option for a fast meal that’s just a bit fresher than most fast food. If you’re in the mood for pizza, but everyone in your group wants something different, you can’t go wrong with this option.
Insider Tips:
If you want to ensure a crisp crust, be cautious about how many fresh veggies you add to your pizza. These add natural moisture to the pizza and can make the crust a little soft.
