Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza announced the opening of its second Knoxville location in March. The new restaurant will be located in the Turkey Creek shopping complex at 10978 Parkside Dr., between Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks, according to a company press release. This marks the third Blaze Pizza in Tennessee.

"Considering the success of our first Knoxville location, opening a second restaurant was a no-brainer," said Mike Forte, Knoxville resident and Blaze operating partner in Tennessee. "Knoxville diners know Blaze Pizza offers a one-of-a-kind, interactive experience, along with a wide range of options to create the perfect, custom pie. We look forward to continuing our growth here and throughout Tennessee."

The restaurant will be constructed with recycled and sustainable materials, use energy-efficient LED lighting and will feature eco-friendly, compostable packaging, the release stated. The 4,000-square-foot interior will include seating for more than 100 inside and additional seating outside.

The new Knoxville Blaze Pizza will be operated by Millennial Restaurant Group, which continues to develop the concept throughout Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. The partnership consists of James Patterson Sr., Jim Patterson II, Ulysses (Junior) Bridgeman, Wayne Albritton and Collins Cogan.
