There is indeed such a thing as a free lunch (or dinner) — provided you like pizza, and provided you’re willing to stop by the new Blaze Pizza at 1620 E. Craig Road in North Las Vegas between 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. Friday. Show up, follow the brand on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, and the pizza is yours.

Blaze Pizza, which famously is partially owned by NBA superstar LeBron James, is known for its “fast-fire’d” customizable pies that sell for about $8. The dough is made in-house daily and finished in an open flame oven in three minutes. There are gluten-free and vegan options, as well as tree-nut-free pesto. The menu also includes such choices as salads, blood orange lemonade and s’mores pie.

This Blaze location, which opens Thursday, will seat 70 and have a patio. There are five other outlets in Southern Nevada, with two more on the way.
