As of this week, Fenway will be home to not only hot dog, burger, and greek fast-casual restaurants, but also a build-your-own-personal-pizza joint—and you can try it out for free on Thursday.

Blaze Pizza is opening its second Massachusetts location Thursday inside the Viridian luxury apartments at 1282 Boylston Street, across the street from Yawkey Way. To celebrate, it’s offering customers a free build-your-own pizza if they stop by the shop on Thursday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and follow (or show they already follow) Blaze Pizza on social media.

The new shop will feature a 2,600-square-foot interior with seating for 54, and additional seating on an outdoor patio. It’s also conveniently located for Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner, who backs the pizzeria, along with LeBron James.

Executive chef Bradford Kent’s menu offers custom pizzas where customers have the option to mix-and-match their crusts, sauces, cheeses, and toppings to make a crispy, cheesy creation all their own. The restaurant also offers eight signature pizzas, gluten-free dough, vegan cheeses, and salads on its menu. Each pie is fast fire’d and served within three minutes.

“This is not a slice sitting under a heat lamp that’s then reheated for you,” the Cambridge location owner Jamal Bourote previously told Boston.com. “It’s a whole 11-inch pie and all 36 toppings are free; we don’t charge extra.”

The chain opened its first Massachusetts location in Cambridge in June and the chain is still expanding. Blaze Pizza also announced it will open a third Boston location in City Place, near Boston Common and Emerson college, before the end of this fall.
