December 30, 2019
Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza is making its Jacksonville, North Carolina, debut Thursday at 3040 Western Blvd., and will celebrate Friday by giving customers who visit the store and download the Blaze app free 11-inch build-your-own pizzas from 10:30 am to 10 p.m.
"Our pizza is aimed at consumers that don't just want convenience, but also seek customization and fresher, healthier, inventive options in their food choices," Mike Reed, operating partner for Blaze Pizza in North Carolina, said in a company press release. "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."
The 2800-square-foot location, which is the state's 10th unit, has seating for over 75 inside and 24 on an outdoor patio, according to a company press release.
Along with 11-inch individual-sized pizzas, the Jacksonville restaurant will offer Blaze's larger 14-inch sharable pizzas for delivery and carryout, available exclusively by ordering online or through the Blaze Pizza App. Pizza fans with specific dietary needs may choose gluten-free and keto crusts, vegan cheese and plant-based spicy chorizo.
Blaze Pizza was founded in 2012, by Elise and Rick Wetzel and is backed by private equity firm Brentwood Associates and several founding investors, including LeBron James, Maria Shriver, movie producer John Davis and Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner.
