Tampa, Florida · Since 2018Three locations. One shared essence.
Blasys Pizzeria's first trailer in 2018

Port Richey, 2018 — Tampa, today

We did not start big. We grew step by step.

Before three locations, there was one little trailer, a Cuban flag and two people willing to work until an idea became a legacy.

The next chapter

Our next destination points to Orlando.

We are planning a fourth Blasys Pizzeria location in Orlando. It is not open yet; we will share the address, date and full details when the project is ready to welcome its new community.

The story behind the name

Blasys started small, but never thought small.

Reinier began with a simple mission: serve Cuban pizza that tasted like home and treat every guest like family. What followed was not one sudden leap, but years of work, learning and the courage to begin again whenever a new opportunity appeared.

This is the road from that first trailer to the three locations that make up Blasys today: Waters, Causeway and the Hillsborough restaurant.

2018
Blasys' first blue trailer in Port Richey
The little trailer where everything began.

Port Richey

Everything fit behind one little window.

The menu was short and the space was small. But every pizza served became a conversation, a lesson and a chance to earn another family's trust. The Cuban flag beside the trailer said, without words, where the flavor came from and how much pride stood behind it.

2019
Blasys serving a guest from the Waters trailer
Waters turned guests into community.

Waters Avenue

We found our community in Tampa.

At Waters, Blasys put down roots. The menu became sharper and more guests returned for the pizza, milkshakes and warm service. There we learned that real growth is not measured only in sales: it is measured in names you remember and people who return.

2020
Large blue Blasys trailer on Waters Avenue
The larger Waters trailer allowed us to serve more families.

Waters Avenue

We sold the little trailer and took a major leap.

A growing community demanded more from us. We sold our small trailers and invested in a much larger one, gaining more kitchen space, better organization and the capacity to serve many more people efficiently. That step made Waters a stronger operation, and the large blue trailer remains one of our three locations today.

2021
Green Blasys Ice Cream and Churros trailer
The dessert trailer first proved that we could diversify.

Blasys Ice Cream & Churros

We dared to try something new.

Ice cream, churros, coffee and desserts opened another window—literally and figuratively—for the family. The dessert concept did not leave pizza behind: it taught us that experience could become new ideas, each with its own identity and the same care for every guest.

2023
Blasys trailer on Hillsborough Avenue
Hillsborough opened the road to the restaurant.

Hillsborough Avenue

From serving through a window to welcoming people around a table.

Hillsborough became another decisive step. What began on wheels started taking the shape of a restaurant experience: more room, a broader menu and a place where the community could stay, share and celebrate.

2025
Fruit Garden location in Tampa
Fruit Garden — Your little piece of Cuba in Tampa.

Fruit Garden

The same roots, another way to serve.

Fruit, juices, familiar products and flavors brought Fruit Garden to life. It was no longer only about expanding a menu, but about creating different spaces around one shared promise: quality, warmth and a piece of our culture in Tampa.

2026
Blasys Pizzeria trailer on Causeway in Brandon
Causeway brought Blasys to Brandon.

Causeway · Brandon

The family expanded into Brandon.

Opening on Causeway expanded our reach and brought Blasys Cuban pizza to a new community. With a trailer built for the daily pace and an outdoor seating area, Brandon became the second active location in this stage of growth.

And finally, we opened the restaurant doors.

After years of cooking on wheels, that dream found walls, a larger kitchen and a patio where people could stay. The Hillsborough restaurant became much more than another location: it was visible proof of everything learned since Port Richey. Today Blasys lives in three Tampa locations, but we still cook with the mindset of the first little trailer: care for every order and never take a single guest for granted.

The restaurant changed the table

More room to create. More reasons to stay.

Reaching the restaurant also allowed us to go beyond the service window with kitchen-made dishes, steaks, pasta, burgers and appetizers to enjoy around the table.

Blasys today

Three locations built on the same story.

Waters, Causeway and Hillsborough represent three stages of the journey: growing on wheels, reaching a new community and finally opening the doors to our restaurant.

The chapter we are living now

Three locations and still the energy of day one.

Waters, Causeway and Hillsborough are not the end of the story. They are proof of the road already traveled and the responsibility to keep doing things right.

It was never about growth for its own sake. It was about proving how far an idea can go when cared for every day.
