Report: LeBron James Bringing His Pizza Restaurant To Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – LeBron James' favorite pizza place could soon be coming to Pittsburgh.

The Business Times reports Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza is looking to open 10 restaurants in the area.

The Cleveland-based franchise group launched in California three years ago, and has now grown to 88 restaurants in 20 states.

The business uses an assembly line type approach for customer orders, like a Subway, but for pizza.

James is a founding investor with the company, as well as a franchisee.

The restaurant tells the Business Times they hope to have the restaurants open in the Pittsburgh area in the next six to 18-months.
