Blaze Pizza
Blaze Pizza, the fast-casual artisanal pizza concept known for its chef-driven menu and casually hip restaurants, opened in October in the heart of Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square and quickly established a cult following. Unlike traditional pizza chains, Blaze features an interactive assembly line format that allows guests to customize one of the menu’s signature pizzas or create their own from a wide selection of fresh, artisanal ingredients – all for a very affordable price. Generous 11-inch pizzas go into a blazing-hot open-flame oven, where dedicated pizzasmiths ensure that the thin-crust pies are fast-fired and ready to eat in just 180 seconds.
