Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza has announced that it will be opening its new location at 301 W. Esplanade Drive in Oxnard at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 3rd. This 3,400 square foot location is located in the Esplanade Shopping Center.

To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will be offering FREE build-your-own artisanal pizzas on March 3rd from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. to anyone who follows Blaze Pizza on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.

Founded in Irvine in 2012, Blaze offers custom-built pizzas, freshly made salads, blood orange lemonade, s'more pies and more.

Signature pizzas or create your own pizzas are about $8.

Restaurants make their own dough from scratch using a recipe developed by critically-acclaimed Executive Chef Bradford Kent (the “Pizza Whisperer”), which requires a 24-hour fermentation period to produce his signature light-as-air, crisp crust. Almost all of the pizza and salad ingredients are free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and fillers and for pizza fans with specific dietary needs, Blaze Pizza offers gluten-free dough and vegan cheese. The new Oxnard restaurant will also feature a selection of wine and draft beer.

Founded by Elise and Rick Wetzel (co-founder of Wetzel’s Pretzels), the concept is backed by investors including LeBron James, Maria Shriver, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner and movie producer John Davis.
