Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza Opens Artisanal Pizza Restaurant In Lutz

LUTZ. FL -- Just in time for National Pizza Day on Feb. 9, Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza opened this week at 25456 Sierra Center Blvd., across the street from Tampa Premium Outlets.

Known for its artisanal pizza, Blaze's new 2,600-square-foot restaurant is the first Blaze Pizza in the Tampa area and includes seating for more than 70 inside and 40 on an outdoor patio. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily.

The new Lutz location is owned and operated by the Millennial Restaurant Group, which created 50 jobs when it opened in Lutz.

Blaze Pizza serves up artisanal pies that are both fast and affordable. Each restaurant features an interactive open kitchen format that allows guests to customize one of the menu’s generously sized, personal signature pizzas - or create their own - for around $8.

Every pizza boasts made-from-scratch dough crafted in-house daily, all-natural meats and vegetables, and is finished in an open-flame oven that cooks pizzas in just three minutes. For guests with special dietary needs, Blaze offers gluten-free dough, vegan cheese and tree-nut free pesto.

“At Blaze, we’re taking one of America’s favorite foods back to its roots by offering high-quality, affordable pizzas – without the wait,” said Dennis Sherer, operating partner for Blaze Pizza in Florida. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring Blaze to Lutz. Guests will love our focus on customization without compromise.”

Blaze Pizza looks forward to building strong roots within the Lutz community. The restaurant has developed a fundraising program that returns 20 percent of an event’s proceeds back to local organizations and will be partnering with schools, sports clubs and other groups to host regular fundraising events.
