Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza is giving fans in Vestal, New York, a reason to celebrate. This Thursday, the leading fast casual brand will open a beautiful 2,600 square foot open kitchen restaurant with interior seating for 78, at 3714 Vestal Parkway.

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.
