“This organization has deep ties to the local community, and we are tremendously passionate about providing good food to all who work and live here,” said Rick Austin, president of Blazing Partners, which owns and operates the Blaze Pizza locations in Tulsa. “We’re hopeful local residents will get fired up to support the Food Bank that provides hot meals for so many in the area.”
Since 2012, Blaze Pizza has been serving 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 your own, all for around $8. Every pizza features our made-from-scratch dough crafted in house daily, all-natural meats and vegetables, and is finished in an open flame oven which cooks pizzas in three minutes flat. For guests with special dietary needs, Blaze offers gluten-free dough, vegan cheese, animal rennet free dairy, and tree-nut free pesto. Each of these elements have assisted the brand with becoming the fastest growing restaurant in history.
