Blazin Pizza Company — Restaurant in Emory

Waited 5-7 minutes to be seated while the hostess did other things and checked out a to go order. Not that big of a deal. There were two of us and we ordered a salad to share (with red onions on the side) and a large pizza with different toppings on each half. My mom ordered beef, mushrooms and onions on her half and I asked for jalapeño, pineapple and basil (I’m vegetarian). When I asked for basil the server looked at me funny. So I said it again thinking maybe she didn’t hear me, and this time pointed at basil on the menu. She looked at me like she didn’t know what I was talking about so I held up the menu and showed her and she said oh ok. I thought it was weird that something would be on the menu, yet she either didn’t know what it was or didn’t know it was on the menu.

When our salad came out, she put the bowl on the table and brought one small cup of dressing, no plates and no red onions on the side. We asked for plates and more dressing and asked if the onions were on the salad, and she said no I have to bring them. She brought back plates, no dressing and no onions. We reminded her about more dressing and the onions, and she brought those back separately, which we thought was strange.

When our pizza arrived, the outer crust was burned black on half of it and the bottom of the pizza crust was very hard and difficult to cut. The basil that is listed on the menu was not fresh basil, but instead dried basil that they sprinkled on top. After I took one bite of my pizza, I realized that there was beef on my side of the pizza as well. Then I realized that all of my mom’s toppings were on my half as well, so I had beef, onions, mushroom, mushrooms, pineapple, jalapeño, and dried basil sprinkled on top. 🤢 We had to send the pizza back for a new one And we had already waited a good half hour for the other pizza to be cooked so we were there for quite a while. Before we sent it back, we also asked them to not cook the pizza so well done where the crust would be burned again. But we got burned crust on half of it the second time as well. The pizza was good once we had what we ordered and the salad was REALLY good. But we were very disappointed that the server or manager didn’t offer to discount or comp anything. It didn’t even seem like anybody cared that much. I think the server may have apologized once when she realized I was a vegetarian, but nobody really apologized for getting the pizza wrong, for the burned crust, for the bad service. Nothing. It was a very strange experience and for the amount of money we spent, I expected better. ($36 for one pizza, one salad and...

I was very impressed with how the restaurant was set up. Very clean establishment and open when everyone else in Emory Texas was shut down save fast food. Downside, we were a group of four and were placed at a table that was about 3×3 ft. We ordered 2 appetizers, and the garlic knots come in a set of 3, not 4 , which is fine, but why have an uneven set when your table is set for 4? This isn't necessarily a review over the appetizers it's more about the service. There were, in my estimation, at least 4 waitresses on the floor and 2 hostesses. Our waitress started with our table of 4, and after we ordered, she was given a table of around 8 or 9. She appeared to be a bit overwhelmed, which is fine. I believe most everyone has dealt in the service industry. People will people. As she was overwhelmed with her large table, our drinks were not refilled. There was not a napkin in sight, save what the silverware was wrapped. Now, mind you, there were several young ladies who appeared to not be doing anything. None would make eye contact with our table. Finally needing napkins, I stood up and went to see if there were napkins on the bar....this was my mistake. I grabbed a few of the small coaster napkins off the bar....to which one of the young ladies slowly rose from leaning on the bar walked over to me....said nothing....took the napkins in my hand from my hand and passed me white table napkins. NEVER SAYING A SINGLE WORD. She then returned to her post of leaning on the bar. I was dumbstruck. I couldn't fully comprehend what had happened. Then the pizza came out. 3 pizzas with 2 appetizers, 4 drinks....plus an array of plates, seasonings, etc. It was uncomfortable to say the least. Then, after waiting for some time. I tried to pay our total, as our poor waitress was still very busy with her large table and didn't have time to attend us at that moment I went to the register and requested our ticket. To which the young lady replied that we could only pay the tab at the table. Our VERY FULL table. I'm unsure what exactly was going on between the young ladies but it appears maybe they were having some sort of silent war.....maybe this was the reason none appeared to desire to help our waitress. Needless to say, management may want to start handing out fire helmets to the patrons if their waitresses are going to start a cold war on a Sunday afternoon when those of us who just wanted to grab a sit down dinner get caught in...

Blazin’ Pizza Company – An Absolute Dumpster Fire

Blazin’ Pizza Company? More like Burnt and Pathetic Pizza Company. This place is hands down the WORST excuse for a pizza joint I’ve ever had the misfortune of walking into. I wouldn’t feed this garbage to a stray dog.

First off, the second I walked in, the smell hit me—burnt cheese mixed with despair. The staff looked like they were auditioning for a zombie movie: dead-eyed, slow-moving, and completely uninterested in doing their jobs. I ordered a basic pepperoni pizza, figuring it would be impossible to screw up. BIG MISTAKE. What I got was an insult to pizza and humanity.

The crust was limp, soggy, and tasted like they kneaded it in dishwater. The sauce? I’ve had ketchup packets from gas stations with more flavor. The cheese was oily sludge, and the pepperoni? Paper-thin grease circles barely clinging to life. This monstrosity wasn’t even warm when it hit the table. I’d swear it was cooked yesterday and reheated under a dying heat lamp.

And let’s talk about the wait time. It took over 40 minutes to get this disgrace, and the place wasn’t even busy! What were they doing back there? Churning butter? Building the oven from scratch? The soda was flat, the tables were sticky, and I’m pretty sure I saw a cockroach giving up on life in the corner.

Blazin’ Pizza Company is the culinary equivalent of getting punched in the face. Save your time, save your money, and for the love of God, save your appetite. This place needs to be shut down and turned into a parking lot.

0/5 stars if I could give it. This place made me hate pizza, and I didn’t even know that...
