“Delivering the best dining experiences available to travelers is HMSHost’s passion and our partnership with John Wayne Airport continues to make this happen. We appreciate John Wayne Airport and the County of Orange for the opportunity to enhance the experience in their airport with the addition of Blaze Pizza,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Iris Messina.

Travelers often seek speed and quality when choosing where to eat and Blaze Pizza’s made-to-order pizzas and efficient service format are perfect for busy airport travelers who want an excellent meal. Guests can also download a free HMSHost “Host2Coast” app directly to a mobile device via QR code to pre-order their meal from Blaze Pizza, pay and schedule a pick-up time up to 4 hours in advance.

“As part of our commitment to elevating the superior guest experience, we’re excited to welcome Blaze Pizza to John Wayne Airport,” said Barry Rondinella, Airport Director. “Blaze offers travelers a convenient dining option with a variety of freshly made ingredients perfect for any pizza fan including those with special dietary needs.” 

Blaze Pizza is a modern day "pizza joint” serving custom-built artisanal pizzas with a wide selection of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Pizzas are made fast in a blazing hot open-flame oven that’s the focal point of every Blaze Pizza location. The oven’s high heat cooks each pizza in just 180 seconds—perfectly crisped to perfection for travelers. Blaze Pizza also satisfies cravings for customers with specific dietary needs with gluten-free and vegan offerings, and non-pizza items such as a variety of salads on the menu.
