Blaze Pizza is expanding beyond its pizza roots with a revamped salad lineup rolling out nationwide this week. The chain introduces three new premium entrée salads featuring ingredients such as chickpeas, pickled red onions, feta, fresh mozzarella, and house-roasted chicken, alongside new dressings and a signature fast-fire'd flatbread. Priced between $11.95 and $12.95, the salads aim to deliver a more satisfying and flavor-forward experience.
New Ingredients and Preparation Enhancements
As part of the refresh, Blaze has added chickpeas, pickled red onions, and cucumbers to its ingredient roster. Preparation methods have been upgraded: chicken is now seasoned and roasted fresh each morning, and bacon is prepared for a crispier, more flavorful bite. Every entrée salad is paired with a warm fast-fire'd flatbread made from the same fresh dough used daily for Blaze pizzas.
“At Blaze, we’re always looking for ways to elevate the guest experience,” said John Owen, Chief Executive Officer of Blaze Pizza. “We’ve taken a fresh look at our salad program from top to bottom, from ingredients and preparation to presentation and packaging, to create salads that are more flavorful, more satisfying and more aligned with what today’s guests are looking for.”
New Entrée Salad Offerings
The lineup includes three thoughtfully crafted entrée salads:
- Chicken Chickpea Salad (Limited Time Offering) – A protein-packed blend of roasted chicken, cucumbers, chickpeas, feta, pickled red onions, roasted red peppers, artichokes, and crunchy pita chips, paired with a creamy Sundried Tomato Parmesan Dressing.
- The Chop – Crisp romaine topped with chickpeas, roasted red peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled banana peppers, red onions, kalamata olives, shaved parmesan, fresh mozzarella, and basil, with an Italian Herb Dressing.
- Bacon Pesto Bliss – Romaine layered with crispy bacon, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, artichokes, and pickled red onions, finished with basil and creamy Pesto Ranch Dressing.
Signature Flatbread and Side Salads
A key component is Blaze's signature fast-fire'd flatbread, served with every entrée salad. Made from fresh daily dough, it is finished with olive oil, oregano, parmesan, and salt before being baked in Blaze's fast-fire'd ovens. The updated program also includes new side salad options: a refreshed Caesar Side Salad and Spring Greens Side Salad. Upgraded packaging features new compostable bowls designed to keep ingredients fresh and enhance portability, supporting convenient grab-and-go meals.
