Lit Pizza - From Izzo's Founder

Excited about this, as there is no great pizza option in the metro.
from WBRZ
BATON ROUGE- The founders of Baton Rouge-based Izzo’s Illegal Burrito are opening a pizza restaurant called Lit Pizza.
The new fast-casual wood-fired pizza restaurant is coming to 3930 Burbank in the Southgate shopping center this summer.
Partners Ozzie Fernandez and Gary Kovacs will offer the same “craft your own” experience Izzo’s offers for the 11 inch pizzas.
it was created based on our belief that everyone should be able to create their own pizza with no rules and limitless options,” Fernandez said. “We are excited to bring this concept to the Baton Rouge community and offer an artisan style wood-fired pizza experience with fast-casual convenience and prices.”
Fresh spun dough will be a Lit specialty, made daily and fired to create a light, crispy thin crust pizza. Locally sourced proteins and vegetables, gluten-free dough and vegan cheese options will also be offered. After crafting the pizza is crafted, it put into a wood-fired oven at 700 degrees.
Ten signature pizzas will also be offered, ranging from the “Easy Caprese” with fresh basil, buffalo mozzarella, EVOO and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, to the Louisiana inspired “Localite” with locally sourced andouille sausage, jalapeños and cayenne pepper hot sauce.
Prices start at $6 for a cheese pizza, and range to $8 for unlimited topping selections.
Other menu options will include grab-and-go salads, local craft beers on tap and fresh-squeezed lemonade.
The restaurant will feature an open kitchen and Louisiana handcrafted wooden tables and bar stools.

Better way to read it:
"it was created because the Moe's guy did it when he created Uncle Maddios and we know we can make a bunch of money doing it too."
belief my arse.

Talk about a Blaze Pizza ripoff, they even borrowed the name!
Posted on 4/14/16 at 12:48 pm to Fat Harry
Hopefully it's better than Blaze but I doubt it.

I don't mind them ripping off an idea. Uncle Maddio's, Your Pie and others do well with the concept.
I just get ticked off (irrationally) when they act like they had some great new idea.

Sounds like a Pie Five Pizza (never been there though). Is that place any good?

There is a whole slew of similar places around the country including some Vera Pizza Napoletana certified joints. Cavalli in Dallas(Irving) has been doing it for nearly 10 years now. It's difficult to accuse anyone of ripping off an idea that has been around for so long.

In and out quickly with a solid pizza that I can't finish in one sitting for under $9. I have no problems with it.

They can't exactly proclaim that they're stealing someone else's idea.

Blaze already beat them to the punch.

That's true. And let 'em rip all they want. Fine with it.
But
"it was created based on our belief that everyone should be able to create their own pizza with no rules and limitless options,”
is such utter crap that it is insulting.

Is Izzo's considered a Chipotle ripoff? (FWIW, I prefer Izzo's.)

Or vice versa.
If they say, "we see a great opportunity in the custom pizza space, and we think we can add to it and make something better" or something like that I say "kudos".
Don't take me too seriously on this. I'm just having the internet equivalent of an afternoon bar chat.
