We had a last-minute family thing with Mharie's family and I decided to cast around and see if there were any vegan pizza joints close by that I have missed so far (so we would have something to bring to the family thing if that's not clear)..Believe it or not searching 'vegan' on Google Maps is one of my go-to processes. Sure enough, Blaze Pizza popped up.
Located in Grandview Corners (160th and 24 Avenue), it was not far out of our way. We would be able to place an order and pick it up on the way to Mharie's sister's place.
There are no designated plant-based pizzas at Blaze but you can build your own as they have vegan cheese and plant-based chorizo as well as a variety of veggies and sauces. We ordered two of this build-your-own variety. The first started with spicy tomato sauce and cheese and chorizo (we had these on both). We added pineapple (for my wife), basil, and some spicy peppers and we were quite happy with the result. This was on their regular crust which was pretty good. It lent itself to the NY-style fold. Nicely spicy as well.
For our second Build Your Own, we started again with the classic dough but with pesto sauce. Adding red onion, roasted garlic, mushrooms, chorizo and vegan cheese again, we ended up with a delightfully garlicky affair once it was completed with a pesto drizzle. This is one you definitely want hot out of the oven. It suffered a bit due to travel and cooling time but that was our fault. It was still a great pizza. The 11" pizzas were $16.25 each which doesn't strike me as cheap but there was good value just the same.
Next time, we'll dine in. This is an enjoyable space and would allow us to spend some time after at Indigo while digesting. Bookstores have become a rare and precious commodity. We ordered online but the staff that we did deal with were quite pleasant.
