Southern California-based Blaze Pizza will move its headquarters from Pasadena to Atlanta this fall to boost growth, company officials announced June 5.

“California is where this brand was born more than a decade ago, and we have a tremendous heart for communities across the state where so many of our restaurants are,” CEO Beto Guarjardo said in a statement. “Moving our corporate headquarters to Atlanta will help us drive our next wave of growth.”
