Blaze Pizza - Buena Park

The Buena Park Blaze Pizza is the best! Every time I come in, I feel welcome and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. Especially Alexia, her customer service is exceptional, and she makes our pizzas like a pro! Each time I visit, she quickly but carefully crafts our pizza, and goes above and beyond, even asking if the portions are to my liking. The location is clean and there's a variety of seating. Definitely would recommend this Blaze over other locations!

Every single time we come in, Alexia and the other girl working today are carrying the team. 4 workers and these two girls were switching from station to station to cover them all, boys couldn’t keep up ? Luv the topping portions

At first, I was shocked to see the overall rating, but after my first visit here, I could understand why Blaze Pizza in Buena Park (BPBP) was no buena.This Blaze Pizza in located in Buena Park Downtown (not Downtown Buena Park lol) on the north side of La Palma between Stanton and Dale. Blaze is situated in between Golden Bowl and Ono Hawaiian.In July, Blaze Pizza gave me a reward for any 11 pizza for $5, possibly to counter MOD Pizza 's National Pineapple Day promo of a $5 pizza with pineapple. I was planning on visiting a teahouse nearby to take advantage of another deal and figured why not take advantage of two different deals on the same trip?Upon arrival, it took about a minute or two before one of the employees greeted me and asked what he could get me. I said I wanted the 11 pizza on regular crust.After selecting my choice of sauce, spicy red, as well as the cheeses, mozzarella and parmesan, he then asked me which toppings I 'd like for both the meats and the vegetables. I like piling my pizza with every topping possible except for artichokes and anchovies, but since Blaze Pizza doesn 't have anchovies as a topping, I simply said all toppings except for artichokes. I usually do this so they don 't pile my pizza with too much meat at first only to realize I wanted even more vegetables. However, that employee who prepared my pizza piled on the toppings like there was no tomorrow. Don 't get me wrong, I 'm all for more toppings on my pizza, especially if it doesn 't incur an upcharge, but I 'm also a believer in the adage Too much good is no good , one that I 've preached in several of my previous reviews.By the time he finished assembling my pizza, it was like a pizza mountain lol.There was plenty of seating inside, especially booth seating by the wall. However, the seats had hard backs instead of cushions, which was a little peculiar. The first one at the near corner had one side as a booth seat, but the other side of the table had two chairs, one of which I sat at. It wasn 't until I got my pizza that I realized I should have grabbed napkins by the pickup counter first because there weren 't any napkins anywhere else. Not wanting to leave my pizza unattended with several other customers inside, I waited until after finishing my pizza before getting napkins to clean my hands.Blaze Pizza also has the words Fast Fired in its name because they cook the pizzas real fast. It was pretty fast, like no more than 5 minutes before the cashier called my name to let me know it was ready. Since I ordered for here , he kept the pizza on the metal tray, which was a little warm to the touch, so I had to be really careful and not drop the pizza.The pizza was incredibly inconsistent. I understand with additional toppings on your pizza, the toppings don 't get baked evenly, but some of the toppings still tasted like they were never even baked at all! A lot of the toppings had a rather unusual aftertaste that I 've not experienced at any other BYO pizza places; like they were pretty grainy in texture for whatever reason.Some bites saw a ton of cheese, but other bites saw no cheese at all! And the spicy red sauce wasn 't even that spicy anyways. There 's a noticeable difference if you taste the two side by side when you order a cheesy bread, but this spicy red sauce tasted like the regular red sauce.I was this close to giving 2 stars, but after filling out a Tattle survey online, I got a call from their manager, who was apologetic and wanted to invite me back at a later time, which I think was after that manager had moved on, at least from BPBP. I still pressed on, hoping the pizza would taste better. It did, but the employees were sloooooooooooow as molasses. The crew members were chatting amongst themselves way too much even when there were a handful of customers inside trying to build their pizzas. Not only that, but I saw my pizza sitting at the counter directly across from the oven waiting to be cut, yet it took 5 minutes befo

Poor service , they take really really long to produce a single pizza . It's unfortunate because this is the closest location to me and I have to travel further to get to another one . Run by youngsters trying to get their paycheck ....

I don't understand the low rating but I've come here now three times for lunch during lunch hrs 11-12pm and I've had nothing but positive reviews about this blaze. The food firstly is great and crispy I always order the meat lover and it's excellent with fresh ingredients! The customer service during these hrs is just as great the manager is very very nice and always attentive to anything I need more than most places!! Love the place to eat it's very clean and very well conditioned against the heat not too loud which is a major plus when trying to enjoy your meal! Will definitely be coming back!
