Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza

I love love love this place! I consider myself to be a very lucky gal (or not so lucky when you think of all the calories that I’ll be consuming now I’ve discovered this gem!). Why you ask? Because it’s literally a 5-​minute walk from my office!
I love the concept of building your own pizza with unlimited topping — you get to eat what you really love! Plus, the super thin crust means less carbs (yes, please!). I especially love the fact that they have 4 different types of sauces that you can mix — also if you’re a huge pesto fan like I am, don’t forget to ask for pesto drizzle as you’re picking up your freshly made pizza.
Another aspect that made this place so special is how easy and fast it is for them to make pizzas — the wait time was less than 5 minutes for me, on a very packed Friday afternoon.
I’d say this place is the real deal and will definitely reco it to everyone! With the price as low at $ 10.49, it’s definitely my new go-​to place for lunch.

Around $ 11 for a pizza is on the expensive side for a pizza, but you get to choose all your toppings and have it made in a few minutes. Do feel free to put anything you want on your pizza, we got to the end of the ingredients list, and realized we should have put some more things on it at the beginning — different types of cheeses and meats. I saw a few people doing this, so I realized, but you can have half your pizza with one sauce, and one with another, which I thought was a very cool idea.
When we came around 1pm on a Friday, there was a long lineup, but it moved fairly quickly. About half their customers choose to eat-​in, so spots are definitely limited during peak hours.

This place is a chain? Well gimmie some more chain food!
Place is a bit pricey (about $ 10.50 for a pizza) but given the location its a welcome addition to the food options at Yonge and Dundas.
Build your own pizza is great! But beware you risk adding too many toppings and soggying the delicious crust that they make.
I tried the BBQ chicken pizza and my Unilocalmate had a build your own. I did not love the bbq chicken toppings so I enjoyed my Unilocalmates bespoke pizza more than mine.
That may just be a matter of personal preference for taste but the crust was amazing on both.
Give it a shot! especially great before catching a movie upstairs.

create your own fire oven thin crust pizza with unlimited toppings for under $ 15 and under 15 minutes– you can’t get any better
I came here on a Saturday night around 9pm, there were still tables available. Join the line and like subway move down the counter to pick what seems like endless toppings with no restrictions! You can choose from red, spicy or white sauce. Lots of variety of cheese including fresh mozzarella, shredded, parmesan and including gourmet choices like gorgonzola and goat cheese. Lots of meat options as well which you can pick them all if you really wanted to. I opted for the italian sausage. Also a huge variety of vegetables from the usual peppers and mushrooms to arugula and artichokes. Seriously for about $ 12 load up on everythinnnnngggg!
Also got the blood orange lemonade which is also refillable by the way! Love how they also have take out boxes ready for you to grab on the side if you cant finish the pizza there. Seriously affordable, completely customizable. My friend and I who went wasn’t that hungry and we were even full just by sharing 1 pizza.

I can’t believe that I’m going to say this, but this is pizza in Canada doesn’t suck. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t the most amazing pizza that I’ve ever had… But it is the best pizza I’ve ever had in Canada. For $ 11 you can make your own or go with one of the pre designated flavors. The pizzas cook super fast and allow you to customized in any way you like. I really enjoyed the blood orange lemonade, was a nice refreshing change of pace. The s’more cookies were really delicious, I recommend you having them heat them up. If you are looking for something fast, convenient, reasonably priced and you’re in the area its not a bad choice.

Great pizza at a great price.
Think Subway, but for pizza. You pay a flat fee of around 12 bucks and you get a personalized small pizza in front of you in about 10 – 15 minutes. I’m already thinking of different topping combinations I’ll use for future visits as I write this review. If I were a Ryerson student, this place would be a VERY regular lunch spot for me. If you want a relatively quick, cheap bite around the Dundas Square area, look no further.
It turns out, the King does know best.

Finally had a chance to come here and try this franchaise that came from the US! I walked in — warmly greeted by staff. I have heard about the online order so i placed my order online and then went to the store and picked it up. after i checked in they then fired up my pizza :) I’ve never selected so many toppings for a pizza before! I used three types of cheese — both mozzarella and parmesan, 4 types of meat (chicken, meatballs, bacon and sausage), +++ vegetables (onion, green peppers, red peppers, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, roasted garlic, basil, cherry tomatoes) and topped with arugula!
The flat fee of 10.49 plus tax — was a pizza that was SUPER DELICIOUS! this is like my dream pizza — all the toppings i want with a nice thin crust (my fiancé loved the crust) and for such a reasonable price!!! I coudln’t believe how good this pizza tasted — i took this pizza fresh out of the oven INTO the subway, back to my home. When i got home i briefly toasted it and omg… it is STILL so good! My fiancé laughed at me for taking it all the way back home… but hey, until they have a location uptown… looks like I have to eat the pizza either down there or take it back home :)
Anyway this is going to become one of my new favourites quickly! I make pizzas at home from scratch regularly, and i have to say it does take a lot of time and effort. however at this price, i might as well come here and get the gourmet pizza that i want without the messy kitchen! :)

Let’s just be honest, let’s just be real. I would like to thank Lebron for leading me to this brand! The place is a real treat — fresh ingredients (laid out like a salad bar and explained as you make a pizza), excellent staff and customer service, and a delicious product. The pizza is reasonably well priced and is ready to eat in minutes.
I had the red vine pizza because it seems like the best item to test the core product, that is, the crust and sauce. I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised — the crust is more towards the crispier side than spongy (I prefer greasy and spongy but this is a healthy product), it certainly tastes good, and there wasn’t an overbearing aftertaste. The tomato sauce actually tastes like tomatoes and doesn’t have that metallic flavour that some other places might have.
The other thing about this place is that their attitude towards health — ingredients seem wholesome (ex. they highlight their gluten-​free crust) and calories are listed (not terrible amounts considering it’s pizza).I saw a lot of runners stop by for a quick bite to go.
All in all, a great experience and I will be coming back to try the unlimited toppings next time!
Side note: s’more sandwiches were eh.

Things like «good pizza» and «located in Canada» are not typically found together, at least not coming from a Western New Yorker. In fact, I gave my husband a hard time when he told me we were headed to a pizza spot mid-​event in Toronto. He defended his honor of course by stating Unilocal says it’s the best.
So we went… for pizza… across the border. And I have to hand it to my fellow Unilocalers because this place was the bomb dot com. Great music, friendly and accomodating staff, overall, great atmosphere. There are several in house pizza’s to choose from, of which my group of three shared two. Patrons are also offered the option to create their own pizza. The two we enjoyed were not at all disappointing. In fact, I typically detest thin crust but these slices had something special to them, because I ate three slices and easily could have kept going (if there was more time to do so and space between my waistline). Ricotta, fresh clumps, yes… CLUMPS of delicious cheese… wood fired… if really is something to try.
So, if our have ever had pizza in Canada and realized they just don’t know how to do it right. try this place when you are scoping out the wonders of downtown Toronto. If you enjoy the pizza on a regular. Definitely try this place to find what you have been missing and your taste buds will be forever thankful!

This was a sort of planned visit as was catching a movie later on next door. As the time was limited had to choose a place nearby. I hadn’t had a chance to look at their menu beforehand but after going through their already designed pizza menu one can easily find something that will be OK. If that doesn’t work you build your own which would require you to go through their extensive options. Decided to stick with some familiar topping versions Vino (like a margherita) and artisan version (artichoke and dollops of what felt like marinara). First of the assembly line looks chaotic to me as I counted three people handling my pizza (maybe their process consultant went overboard here) and each repeating my order, kind of reminded me of chipotle to tell you the truth. It wouldn’t have mattered if the end product is good and one gets the pizza in a reasonable amount of time.
Here is the verdict either their pizza oven needs to be hotter or they need to sauce a little less or cook a bit longer as the crust was wet! ingredients are decent so can’t fault them there, am not expecting a lot at this price range. Service was decent though its mostly self service. I would rate it way above the chain which makes you say the product name twice. This location will bring in crowds as well I guess. I would say almost 3 stars.

Found this place on Unilocal — location is super convenient when in downtown as it’s right in Yonge-​Dundas Square.
In a nutshell, you can build-​your-​own individual pizza for $ 11 with unlimited toppings — they have various options in sauces, cheeses, meats, and veggies. The pizza is then cooked in front of your eyes within a few minutes.
I ordered a pizza with spicy tomato sauce, mozzarella, goat cheese, meatballs (they’re Halal! No other meat is, but this was an awesome bonus), kalamata olives, jalapenos, and mushrooms.
The spicy tomato sauce was delicious — just the right level of heat for a pizza. Pizza was thin crust and tasty. My friend loved her custom creation as well. Awesome concept and executed very well :)

I’ve only been here once, the other day for a late lunch with a friend and it was damn good pizza.
It’s kind of like One Pizza on King St East if ya ever been.
You make your order at the front; either one of the signature pies, or you choose your own (unlimited!) toppings. They also have the calories of each topping/​signature pies just for your own reference (didn’t stop me from putting everything I loved on my pizza). You also have the option of whole wheat or gluten free (+ $ 4).
I made my own and put almost everything (the amazing girl helping me was totally not judging at all, or made it seem like she wasn’t anyways). Came up to still under $ 12.
If you do decide to overload things WILL fall off. That being said, most of it fell into my mouth so I was a happy duck. It was a really great pizza though, they know exactly how to cook it and for how long depending on how much/​what you have.
Definitely would come here again though for the diy food, location and service!

Blaze is a good name since this place is on fire. I decide for my first visit to try something predesign signature the bbq chicken, as much meat eater was calling my name I’m a sucker for bbq on pizza it’s awesome
The pizza was good, it was a thin crust which i dont usually eat thin crust but this pizza was so good and the pizza is spot on 10 dollars for a personal that is pretty filling. I was in around 3 on Wednesday and not too many people. Thou I probably missed the lunch rush from the last review (Collin S.) He noted it being packed with «cool people» probably college students since Ryerson is right there and it not too far from Eaton centre and right across from Dundas square.
I be back to create my own

Whoever thought of this idea about fast food pizza is a genius!
Located in a prime location of Toronto, I always wanted to try this place out. I even heard that basketball star LeBron James invested into this place.
Upon entering, it had that Chipotle kind of feel with the décor. I heard that the Build your Own was worth it and you could put unlimited toppings on your pizza. The staff were pretty helpful with explaining how things worked and I started building my very own pizza.
They have tons of sauce and topping selections. So this is the fraction of what they had has I put these toppings on my pizza: classic sauce, 4 types of cheese, ham, pepperoni, mushroom, green peppers, zucchini, and to finish it off with presto drippings.
The total came out to be $ 14.25 with a fountain drink which is pretty decent for a medium sized pizza. I was also impressed how fast the whole process goes and you get to watch your pizza bake in the oven too.
I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends and I will be back for more blazing pizzas!

Blaze has been generating a lot of buzz lately, so I thought I would come and check it out. It’s really close to the movie theatre, so the address on Unilocal is actually incorrect and misleading– it lead us closer to Santouka Ramen, for some reason. Just know that it’s close to Cineplex! It’s on the same street!
The whole build-​your-​own meal really reminds me of Chipotle or Subway– you can watch them make your pizza and then thrust into the open oven, so there is no funny business here. The staff are so nice and full of smiles, which is really rare for any ‘fast food’ restaurant. I ordered one of their classic pizzas, but you can still customize whatever toppings you want! Everything was done both efficiently and professionally.
Blaze has parmesan, chili flakes and herb shakers to sprinkle on top of your pizza. I love how the pizza itself is inexpensive, filling and delicious! I literally wolfed down my pizza slices in three bites. I would definitely come back to Blaze– I may order it online next time!
One super-​small, nitpicky complaint– you need to ask the staff for the washroom key. This is my least favourite form of toilet access. No one should know I actually use the washroom– no one.

This place is amazing. At $ 10.45 for a custom pizza with unlimited toppings, I have nothing to complain about. That’s what I got: the build-​your-​own. (
)
You know how places with unlimited anything are often stingy and wait for you to pick what you want so they know how much you plan on ordering and how little they’ll give you? This place is NOT like that. It truly is unlimited.
I picked three cheeses. They asked, «Do you want any more cheese?»
I picked three meats. They asked, «Do you want any more meats?»
I picked six veggies. They asked, «Do you want any more toppings?»
And all of that with a smile.
Original red sauce, mozzarella, ovalini mozzarella, feta, italian sausage, pepperoni, applewood bacon, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, roasted garlic, cherry tomatoes, sautéed onions, spinach.
12 toppings (not including the sauce).
I already had a drink, so I didn’t buy one, but with a drink, it comes to $ 14. Next time, I would consider it because it’s refillable and they even have lemonade and blood orange lemonade.
There are a few people working the assembly line, kind of like Chipotle, so it’s a really quick process and after maybe five minutes in the oven, you get your hot delicious pizza.
I would definitely come back. This place is amazing.

I used to go to these build your own pizza places all the time in LA (I haven’t been to Blaze… not sure if they have locations there). I’m glad this place has opened up in Toronto.
I have to say that I actually preferred this to most of the ones I went to in LA. First of all the price is very reasonable (just under $ 11 for a build your own).
You don’t get a choice of base (eg gluten free, etc). But there’s a few different sauces to choose from. Also, they do have goat cheese available, which I love.
I always go pretty crazy with the toppings at these places… It’s hard to say no because they all look good. After I was done, my pizza was stuffed. Everything ended up going well together though.
Pizza takes a couple of minutes to prepare. It’s super thin crust. I guess that means its healthier… so I don’t feel bad devouring the whole thing.
Will definitely be back.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of this place but I must say, I had quite the enjoyable experience today.
For starters, the service was impeccable. ⁵⁄₅. From the second we walked in to the moment we stepped out of the store, I felt like a valued customer. It started with one of the female staff who greeted us with a smile from behind the counter as soon as we entered. Then, the male who created our custom pizza for us was patient and nonjudgmental as we clearly fumbled with choosing from the variety of toppings. While we were eating, we had 3 instances of amazing customer service. 1) a girl came by to ask how we were enjoying the food 2) shout out to the employee, JJ, who asked if we would like cups of water and got it for us 3) JJ who, again, came by and volunteered to collect our finished tray of garbage.
Again, the variety of toppings was amazing — there was lots to choose from and all of the vegetables and meats were fresh! The pizza itself was thin-​crusted which was nice and crispy but it also wasn’t overly hard. Overall, the pizza was fairly tasty but cooled down relatively fast. so I would recommend that you eat it in-​store for optimal temperature. My only complaint for this place would be the cost, which was a little pricey.

I thought that Pizza Pizza coming up with an online pizza builder was a game changer but then I came to Blaze’s. It’s a Build-​a-​Pizza workshop come to life. The staff are friendly and walk you through on how to make your dreams come true.
If you’re something of a basic (nothing wrong with that!) you can get a simple sauce, cheese and 1 topping pizza for about $ 8. But if you’re like me and want to sample all the fine toppings that life has to offer, then I suggest the $ 10.45 build your own. You get unlimited toppings! However, I’d advise against overloading because your pizza will resemble a land-​slide when you try to eat it. If patience isn’t your virtue — don’t fret. They say it takes 180 seconds for your pizza to be ready.
For the price it’s awesome and incredibly filling! I couldn’t finish it for lunch and ate the rest for dinner. The crust is more on the thin side, which I prefer. Also, they’ve got a great selection of cheese, sauce, and toppings. It’s wonderful for those who are vegetarians or only eat halal (only the Italian meatballs are halal!).
They’ve got a fountain drink station. Be sure to try the lemonade which is sweet and tangy. Also, grab an adorable Smore pie if you want dessert. They put it by the oven so that the marshmallow is melted when you eat it.
I wouldn’t call it a restaurant as you have to place and pick up your order at the counter. However, there was a server who came around later and asked us if we needed anything else. Good thing is that there’s plenty of seating so be sure to try your pizza as soon as it comes out the oven!

$ 11 for all-​you-​can-​put toppings on your pizza yaaaas. Love their concept.
A popular place to grab pizza to go around ryerson. Being selfish me, I wanted to put everything on my pizza which got kind of messy later when the toppings dont stick as well. However, they do have pre-​combination pizzas for $ 9. Time wise, took about 5 mins from ordering to getting out due to the line. However, service is really friendly! Will be back for sure!
