UPDATE: Opening Day for Blaze Pizza in Scarborough, Maine

We're gonna have to wait just a little bit longer for Maine's only Blaze Pizza opening in Scarborough, Maine.

It was nearly two years ago that Blaze Pizza announced it was coming to Maine. They weren't sure where, and said either Portland, Westbrook, or Brunswick. Well, it's none of those locations. The first one will be at 451 Payne Road in Scarborough, next to the new Starbucks.

Get free pizza for a year at the new Blaze Pizza in Scarborough, Maine

Blaze has been trying to open in December but may have to push the opening date back to January 2025. But, on opening day everyone who comes will get a 'fast-fire'd' pizza - free! If you are one of the first 25 people through the door, you'll get free pizza FOR A YEAR! (limitations apply). Definitely a reason to stay tuned for the opening date announcement!

This is THE fastest-growing casual fast-food chain in the country. Could be that it's backed by LeBron James and they are proud of how they do franchising. They were founded in California, but they grew from 2 stores to 200 in just four years. They currently have 340 locations in 38 states and 6 counties. And Maine is now included in the fun.

Maine has a thousand pizza places, what makes Blaze Pizza different?

Blaze Pizza is made-to-order pizzas. You'd think that would take forever, but that's the whole 'fast fire'd' concept with wood-fired stoves. A pizza takes about 3 minutes to cook. It's kind of a Chipotle concept but for pizza. The only thing that could make it better is if it was free!

Stay tuned for Maine's first Blaze Pizza's opening date!
