Free Pizza As Blaze Fast Fire'd Opens Thursday Near Fenway Park

BOSTON, MA – Fast-casual pizza chain Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza opens its first Boston location Thursday, and it's marking the occasion with the best gift of all: free pizza.

The freebie is conditional, of course. It lasts 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and is only for Sept. 29. It also applies only to people who follow Blaze Pizza on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

The new pizza place, backed by Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner, is opening next door to Baseball Tavern on the street-level of The Viridian luxury apartments, at 1282 Boylston St.

It's only the second Massachusetts location for the chain, which opened in Cambridge this June. Another Boston location is coming this fall in City Place, 123 Stuart St., near Boston Common and Emerson College.

Blaze bills itself as a "modern day 'pizza joint'" serving build-your-own pizzas and a menu that would make Whole Foods proud: freshly made salads, blood orange lemonade and s’more pies. Almost all of the pizza and salad ingredients have no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and fillers and for pizza fans with specific dietary needs, Blaze Pizza offers gluten-free dough and vegan cheese, Blaze said in a press release. Doughs are made in-house.

Personal pizzas go for about $8 per pie, with fast-fired, thin crusts ready in two minutes flat.

The Massachusetts locations are locally owned and operated by BGR Hospitality, a franchise group developing Blaze Pizza in the state.
