Blaze Pizza will offer a free 11-inch pizza at its newly constructed location in Linden, New Jersey on Sept. 30 in a grand opening celebration, according to a press release.

The brand will offer the first 50 guests in line one free pizza per month for a year.

A ribbon cutting ceremony, games and merchandise will also be parts of the celebration.

Additionally, as part of a community giveback initiative, 20 percent of sales on October 1 will be donated to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway.

The restaurant is operated by GSP Group owned by Ashish Shah, Premanand Gupta, and Taral Patel. The Linden location is the second Blaze Pizza under their leadership.

"We chose Blaze Pizza because it's a brand that truly empowers the guest," Gupta said in the press release. "The combination of speed, quality and full personalization and the ability for guests to choose from a wide range of fresh toppings, sauces and cheeses makes it a pizza experience unlike any other."

Blaze Pizza has almost 300 restaurants across 38 states and three countries.
