celebrities to endorse their products
these sponsorships usually relate to the
celebrities profession
like playing professional sports or
looking beautiful while walking down a
runway
in these instances the company pays the
celebrity to endorse the product or
service
but in other cases celebrities are so
intrigued by an idea that they actually
decide to invest their own money to help
it succeed

early investor in blaise pizza
he even gave up a deal with mcdonald's
in order to back the pizza chain
but it seems like his risk has paid off

blai's pizza is led by chef brad kent an
accomplished culinary mastermind with a
serious food background
kent started his own catering business
while he was in college
he then went on to earn a degree from
the culinary institute of america
he holds a degree in food science and
nutrition according to zagat
kenta also opened his own pizza shop
olio pizzeria and helped trader joe's
develop some of their snack food items
over the years he's developed his own
delicious pizza dough recipe
which somehow manages to be both soft
and crunchy at the same time
kent is the real deal and he lends his
expertise to blaze pizza locations all
over the country
so we do we press your dough fresh for
you
and then we walk you down the line as
you assemble your pizza with exactly the
toppings that you want on it
if you've ever eaten different styles of
pizza then you already know that not all
crusts are created equal
far from it in fact the crust made by
blaze pizza are also unique in that
they're fermented for at least
24 hours blaze's dough is made with
filtered water
unbleached flour yeast extra virgin
olive oil and just a sprinkle of salt
this simple dough is then allowed to
hang out for 24 hours to let the yeast
do its thing
which ultimately leads to air pockets in
the dough
the result is a crispy light crust that
serves as the perfect base for all of
blaze pizza's many toppings
blaze pizza also makes gluten-free dough
keto crusts and cauliflower gluten-free
dough
so even if you've got certain dietary
restrictions like a gluten allergy or
intolerance you can still enjoy their
pies
pizza can be a pretty conservative and
simple food if you want it to be
red sauce mozzarella cheese little basil
boom you're done
but the folks behind blaze pizza are
taking a totally different approach
offering unique and artisanal
ingredients that go beyond the standard
cheese pepperoni and supreme menu items
offered at most restaurants
in addition to fun toppings like italian
meatballs or garlic pesto sauce
the culinary team at blaze pizza isn't
afraid to experiment with some outside
the box ingredients too
blaze pizza recently created a pizza
with white claw
the popular alcoholic seltzer drink
instead of adding the usual water to
their pizza dough
they substituted mango white claw the
alcohol cooked off while the pizza was
in the super hot oven
leaving behind just a tiny hint of mango
flavoring
if you've ever made pizza at home then
you know that when you're starving it
can feel like it takes forever before
all the cheese is finally melted and the
crust gets crispy
not at blai's pizza in fact the pizza
cooks at blaze pizza restaurants only
bake each pizza for a
maximum of 180 seconds three
minutes to be exact because the oven is
so incredibly hot
blaze pizza's ovens can reach
temperatures of up to 900 degrees
fahrenheit which essentially flash cooks
each pizza in record time
because of this each location can churn
out more than 200 pizzas an hour
the team at blais understands the oven
inside and out
including where any hot spots might be
located
they know if and when they need to move
the pizzas around to get the perfect
level of doneness
the specially trained crew of people who
bake the pizzas are called pizza smiths
or pizza yolo
an italian word that literally
translates to someone who makes pizzas
in a pizzeria
how very appropriate lay's pizza takes
its commitment to using only the
freshest ingredients
very seriously in 2017 the popular pizza
chain decided to completely stop
using ingredients that contained
artificial flavors colors
preservatives and other additives they
also stopped using high fructose corn
syrup at all restaurants
they called this bold move the keeping
it real initiative
it took them 18 months to find new
suppliers and work with existing
suppliers to find sources for all
natural ingredients
on the menu this means that you won't
find any nitrites and blaze pizzas cured
meats
nor will you find any artificial
preservatives in the popular chain's
salad dressings or sauces
blaze pizza locations also began
offering blue sky cane sugar sodas
and began using barbecue sauce made
without corn syrup
they promised that pizza lovers will be
able to taste and appreciate the
difference that all these changes have
made
blaze pizza is truly a modern restaurant
chain

values of their customers mostly young
people
including millennials and gen zers and
they're putting their money where their
mouth is

eco-friendly packaging

storage container soda cup
and utensil is recyclable compostable or
made from post-consumer reclaimed
materials
in 2019 the popular pizza chain also
started getting rid of plastic straws
replacing them with new domed lids
instead
according to the blaze pizza website
forks knives
cups lids even those cute little
containers that hold the salad dressing
were thoughtfully chosen because they
left a smaller footprint than most
commonly available choices
