Blaze Pizza HQ Moving From California to Georgia

A popular pizza chain is moving its headquarters from California to Georgia — likely attracted by lower operating costs.

The Pasadena-based Blaze Pizza company said it plans to complete the move by September.

"Atlanta will serve as the headquarters for the company's operations, business development, marketing, finance, HR and other departments," the company said in a statement, ABC7.com reported.

There are more than 300 Blaze Pizza restaurants in 39 states, with one-third of them in California, where the company was founded in 2011, ABC7 reported. A 2022 Kosmont-Rose Institute Cost of Doing Business Survey showed Los Angeles County was the most expensive in Southern California for running a business.
