Blaze Pizza began in Southern California in 2012 and now has more than 260 restaurants in 40 states, Canada, and Kuwait, the company said in a release. This will be its 10th location in New York.
Founded by Elise and Rick Wetzel, of Wetzel’s Pretzels fame, Blaze Pizza is backed by private-equity firm Brentwood Associates. That firm includes famous investors such as LeBron James, Maria Shriver, and Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner, according to the release.
“Our mission at Blaze is really simple — we’re taking pizza back to its roots,” said Jim Mizes, president and CEO of Blaze Pizza. “By making dough in-house, using carefully sourced ingredients, and cooking by fire, we’re giving guests a great way to enjoy artisanal pizza without the wait. It’s changing the way people think about and eat pizza.”
