January 12, 2017

Fast casual pizza mecca, Phoenix, Arizona, is about to get a little something to wash down all those pies, as the beer and pizza brand, Blast & Brew, seeks to expand in the southwestern city, according to a news release.

Blast & Brew is a Neapolitan pizza and self-pour, craft-beverage concept with plans to land up to15 new locations to Phoenix. The chain features hand-stretched pizzas, up to 40 taps of self-pour craft beer and premium wines and customizable food options. 

"Phoenix is primed for development because the area is saturated with build-your-own pizza concepts, and Blast & Brew will offer something completely different," Mike Reynolds, chief development officer at the chain's parent company, Milano Restaurants International, said in a news release. "We’re taking on the space by offering guests a 100 percent customizable experience from the craft beer they pour to the custom pizzas, specialty sandwiches, salads as well as the social experience they create."
 
Blast & Brew is working to open franchises in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert/Mesa and Goodyear as part of the chain's overall growth strategy, which includes 16 recently announced deals in California.
