Blaze Fast Fire'd Pizza will open its third Detroit-area location Monday in Allen Park, according to a company press release. To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will offer free build-your-own pizzas from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22, to anyone who follows Blaze Pizza on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

The restaurant, which features a 2,600-square-foot interior with seating for 86 inside and an additional 32 seats on an outdoor patio, is located in the Fairlane Green Shopping Center (3129 Fairlane Dr.), across the street from the Home Depot.

"Our mission at Blaze is really simple — we're taking pizza back to its roots," said Jim Mizes, president and COO of Blaze Pizza. "By making dough in-house, carefully sourcing ingredients, and cooking by fire, 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."

The restaurants will be constructed with recycled and sustainable materials, use energy-efficient LED lighting and will feature eco-friendly, compostable packaging, the release stated. Blaze has also developed a turn-key in-restaurant fundraiser program that returns 20 percent of an event's proceeds back to local organizations, and will be partnering with local schools, sports clubs and other organizations to host fundraising events at the new restaurant.
