Blaze Pizza

"Went there on Pi day when it was super chaotic, they definitely had a plan in mind and we're pretty efficient with their process. It was honestly the tastiest pizza I've ever eaten and I was sad that I ate the whole thing because I didn't have more."

"My family had a pizza party because Blaze Pizza was helping a club at Ames Middle School that my grandson belongs to. Even waiting for our sx pizzas to be ready for takeout was enjoyable! The five or six young people who were working really knew their jobs and worked smoothly together. They were all kept really busy but still managed to be polite and friendly with their customers and with each other. The customers all seemed to be having a good time, too, a nice mixture of family groups and Iowa State University students. It made me think that my family group might want to try during in next time, rather than take out. And the pizzas were delicious!"

"Went here two days ago… I would have given this place 5 stars… but it’s only 5 stars during the day. I waited a couple days to leave a review so I could make it as objective as possible. I went here in the evening and EVERYTHING was cross contaminated. Want cheese? - they have cheese with 10 other things that have fallen into it. They also slap on ingredients without a care in the world (also why so many things are cross contaminated… they sprinkle whatever is in their hand into every container on the way to your pizza). The floor was also disgusting. I have never seen a floor/work area so dirty in a restaurant. It looked like they were making a pizza on it. My pizza was also so burnt the guy offered to cut the burnt crust off the outside rim but didn’t offer to remake it (it was pretty BLACK at the bottom and edges - more than usual - every bite tasted like charcoal). I enjoy it here most of the time, but two days ago was just gross if I’m being honest. It was one of those situations where you look around and think “should I even risk eating here” as the flies danced around the spilled ingredients. A lot of employees were also just standing around despite the place looking like it exploded. I almost wanted to grab a broom and sweep it myself. If you have a dietary restriction I would not recommend as they don’t do a good job of preventing cross contamination. I know this isn’t “gourmet” food, but the service I was paying for was lacking. Will edit the review in the future if I notice things change. I also get that rushes of customers can happen - but it was just gross on this particular occasion. I would still recommend giving this location a try, though. They do make good pizza most times. The only reason I didn’t give 1 star is because I know it can be better."

"Great food and service! Best way to describe it that is easy to understand is like it’s a Subway for Pizza! Mix and match creating your own and many options! Highly recommend giving it a try! Pizza is enough for 1 or just a couple slices to take home. Also have a great alternative for their fountain pop straw waste with a lid that already has a hole."

"Whenever I come to Ames I always eat at blaze Pizza. When people ask me what kind of pizza place it is, I said it's like a Subway but it's pizza. You get to either choose signature pizzas from the menu or you can choose individual ingredients. There are even dessert options. It's always very quick and I love the choices. My teenagers also love this place and we're never disappointed. I just wish LeBron didn't own 10% because I hate putting money in his pocket. I'm going to give it five stars because I love the product. But I will say every time I go there it's hard to find a table that's been cleaned and I feel like the eating area could be a little more picked up, swept, tables wiped down, etc."
