Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza will open its first Arlington, Texas, store tomorrow at 841 E. Lamar Blvd., in Parkway Central Shopping Center. To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will offer free build-your-own pizzas from 10:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. Friday to anyone who follows Blaze Pizza on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Additionally, guests will enjoy entertainment provided by Lone Star Bottle Band and prize giveaways, according to a company press release.

"Great pizza starts with great dough," said Bradford Kent, Blaze Pizza's executive chef. "That's why we make our dough from scratch in-house daily. No frozen dough, preservatives or dough conditioners — EVER. Just a few simple ingredients and a mixer."

Local craft beers will be poured on tap, including (512) Pecan Porter, (512) Pale Ale, Community Public Pale Ale and Community WIT. The restaurant will also partner with local schools, sports clubs, nonprofits and other community organizations to host fundraising events at Blaze, donating 20 percent of an event's proceeds back to local groups, the release stated.

"We couldn't be more excited to introduce Arlington to Blaze," said Brian Kelley, managing partner of Saddles Blazin LLC, a Blaze Pizza franchisee. "By providing fast-fire'd artisanal pizza, local craft beer, and an inclusive fundraising program, we know residents will soon come to know, and love, Blaze."

Blaze Pizza will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
