For BLAZE PIZZA??? Is there a connection to Ramadan? Was all pizza $3.14 or bogo???? Whats the story here?

Nah, no connection to Ramadan. I only mentioned that to state what I'm eating on Day 4, lol. It was all $3.14 because it was National Pie Day yesterday. The mathematical formula known as Pi(3.14) on March.14th(3/14) & all the pies are $3.14

Our pies were more then $3.14 because we always opt for the high rise dough & they charge couple of bucks extra for that.

Waiting in line for 2 hours @ Blaze Pizza is a wild plot twist. I don't care what they were offering, a Pizza Expert of your status doing this needs some explaining.

Lol, we lined up exactly a year ago for the same reason & I posted pics in here of that too. It's partly the $3.14 deal & partly just vibing out with family + it's down the block from us so no big deal.

3.14 pizza? Yes! 2 hour wait? What? Was your time worth the savings?

I'd say it was worth it. It's kind of fun, lol + when you're fasting for Ramadan there's not much else to do so kill some time waiting in line for the fast to break. Only once a year though would I line up for Blaze .

I gotta side with DCAllAfrican on this one, Z

As a NYer, with all the talk and hype yall do for your pies, I’m thoroughly surprised you not only went to Blaze but also openly admitted to it

Are you okay Z? Da opps holdin you hostage b?

Lol, I go to Blaze a handful of times a year. Their high rise dough is legit & for retail pizza, it's actually pretty good with fresh ingredients. We chopped it up with the owners & one of them gave us each an exclusive coupon for a free pie next time we come in so can't complain .

As a NY'er I lowkey delve into & see what else is out there pizza wise once in a while. Singa's Famous is pretty good too. Ain't nobody holdin me hostage, I promise .

2 hour wait just shows Z's commitment to pizza. that's why he's the pizza king in here

How humble of you Mr. 110, we all know you're the undisputed of NT .

Lmao. Have you tried Blaze? If not, give em a shot. They're solid, man!

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea I just went to Blaze last week.
100% agree with getting the "Super Dough " instead of the weak cracker thin crust.

Very good

Ni sorry, that was MOD Pozza.

 

[mplsdunk]

you guys act like blaze is bad or something.

3 dollars is the price of one slice and he's getting a while pizza.

I haven’t.

Maybe NYers just over hype their pies but I swear yall make it sound like solid gold and nothing else should be touched.

I thought for sure going to Blaze should be grounds for someone to hit you with this

It’s not that I thought it was bad necessarily

I just am so overwhelmed constantly be NYers condescending (this does not include @z btw, he is an outstanding citizen of da thread) attitude in regards to pizza that I never would have thought they’d give any chain a real glance when the “best in da world” is right around the corner

 

[tr1ll]

Blaze aint bad at all, but a 2hour wait? I would noped out of that in the parking lot.

it would be different if it was a douchey member posting but he's one if the chiller guys on nt.

Let there be no confusion, I always CIP when speaking to zmaqbool , probably one of the best food thread regulars around.

I was concerned about him when he said he waited hours for a chain pizza doe, I had to ask about his safety

Yeah, that cracker thin crust ain't it. My younger brother put me on to their high rise dough when they first opened & I, in turn, put my older brother & sister in law on to it & we never looked back. Other than the high rise, strictly speaking on their dough- their pizzas look pretty sad.

This! With the high rise dough we opted for it was about $6.35 for each of our pies(still not bad) + the free pie coupon from one of the owners for next time.

Yeah, I totally get that. NY'ers always are high praise about the city's pizza game. I, too, was like that until I started driving out to NJ for pizza. I strongly belive NJ has some of best pizza. There are some insanely great pizza joints located in NJ.

Going to Blaze for pizza- handful of times a year/waiting 2 hours in line for a Blaze pizza- ONLY ONCE A YEAR! Lol

If I remember correctly, last year was almost the same wait time as well. People come out of the woodworks on Pi Day, lol.

NY pizza prices suck. It’s $24-25 for a large plain pizza now. If a pizza tastes good then idgaf if it’s from a chain, a popular spot, dollar slice places on every corner in NYC, or costco.

Not sure if it was blaze pizza or just a similar chain but I tried it once years back. It was good but not enough for me to go back.

 

[B Sox]

Pizzas are starting to cost close to that all over the place.

 

[StillNice$hoes247]

2 hours to save $8
So ur time is worth $4 hr
Interesting

 

[spizike231]

Z don’t work bro he’s retired

His time is priceless he does whatever he wants whenever he wants

He be goin on trips to the motherland and finding pizza for Funsies

Mans is living the life

I like the top comment:

Why are we asking average Americans to adjust their habits, but no one questions corporate greed?

Seems like most of the talk around this has been "tighten your belt" to consumers with no focus on the BS these companies are pulling.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think there has always been (especially today) plenty of convo around the topic of over inflated food prices. Especially since social media has been around.

Not sure if I agree that most of the talk revolves around asking us to change our habits. But even with that, that is what will cause the most instant change.

[mplsdunk]

Where tf isn’t a large pizza 25 bucks?

This isn’t just a ny thing. Unless you live in Amish that’s what it cost.
