The Write-Up
Blaze Pizza on North Alafaya Trail is a fast-fired, assembly-line pizza shop where your pie is built and made fresh right in front of you. Guests load up a Build Your Own and ask for it well done for that crispy crust, and the new Detroit-style pizza has been winning people over. Cauliflower crust, keto and vegan cheese options mean everyone at the table gets exactly the pizza they pictured.
