Blaze Pizza - Newport Beach

This Blaze pizza is in such a beautiful shopping area with very high end stores. We just left the beach and wanted pizza. I LOVE Blaze but I would highly suggest not visiting this location. The staff had ZERO SMILES, ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE EXTREMELY STINGYWITH TOPPINGS! I asked for extra cheese in the top of my pizza and this pizza chef sprinkled was less than 1/4 cup. The tableshadn?t been wiped down, bathrooms were not fresh and clean and trash needed to be emptied. Oh yes, the summer fruit salad waslacking! Lacking enough dressing, pieces of lettuce were ginormous, strawberries were tart and it was an epic failure. Theyhave no plates, yes!!! No plates. We split the salad and had to be creative eating it. No go in my book! Smile people! Afterall, it is your job.

Just good! I loved my thin crust freshly made BBQ Chicken Pizza! Sooo Yummy I paired it with her petty bottle Chardonnay

The staff were incredibly friendly and assisted me with my vegan order, which was a relief since I couldn’t find any clear indication that they offered vegan options. I opted for two items: half a pizza and half an order of vegan Cheezy bread made with Daiya cheese. Both were delicious! I also ordered a regular lemonade that I enjoyed, but I really wished I had tried the blood orange lemonade that the staff member was drinking. This restaurant is located in the Fashion Island mall, just a few blocks from the beach!

We've dined here several times and appreciate the ability to customize our pizzas right from the start, even before we look at the menu. We find it to be an ideal spot for lunch. However, if you're seeking a nice sit-down Italian dinner, this isn't the place for you. While it's not upscale, the food is good.

I really appreciate the concept, and the pizza is fantastic. The restaurant could use a bit of a makeover, but overall, everything else is great.
