Blaze Pizza is firing up its growth engine thanks to a partnership with a multi-unit franchisee with extensive fast casual and quick service experience.

Blaze Pizza’s latest development plan targets the Southern California market, covering Ventura, Santa Barbara, and the Upper San Fernando Valley—all areas west of Los Angeles. This five-unit agreement is with Red Phoenix Group, LLC, owned by Ray Luthra and his family—second-generation restaurant owners and current Wingstop franchisees who bring extensive experience from operating and managing brands like Denny’s, Del Taco, Nékter Juice Bar, and 7-Eleven. The first two Blaze Pizza locations are set to open in 2025.
