BLAZE FAST-FIRE’D PIZZA (TEMPE)
Blaze Pizza is another fast design-your-own pizza concept that has been rising in the Valley lately. It opened its first location in Tempe on April 14 near Arizona State University’s campus. Guests can choose an array of toppings (meats, vegetables, cheeses) and sauce and it will be cooked in an oven in 180 seconds. The chain plans to open four more locations in Tucson, Phoenix, Avondale and Glendale.

Last Thursday, Crisp Greens opened its doors in downtown Chandler. It’s a fast-casual create-your-own salad and wrap concept for those who are looking for a healthy option, but don’t have a lot of time. You choose your lettuce, toppings (apples, croutons, grapes, egg, onion, peppers etc), proteins (chicken, tofu, bacon) and dressing. It can be a salad or a wrap.
