Posted on Author Jay @ Welcome to Trinity!

Suncoast News is reporting that plans are moving forward for a “Town Square” in Trinity that has been tentatively named, “The District at Mitchell Ranch”.

The development will be in what the county calls the South Market Area, “envisioned as an urban gateway opportunity area with intensification supported by transit opportunities and to be developed in a manner which will enhance energy efficiency and conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” It is also considered an “urban gateway” and an area ripe for creating employment opportunities.

The complex will be structured like a town, with a main street, central square, parkland, multiuse trail, elevated parking deck and pedestrian access; a bus stop and accommodations for bikes are also envisioned.

Mitchell Ranch is a project of the Mitchell Ranch Partnership LTD, a merger of Pasco County and M&M Route 54 West LLC, a Florida limited liability company with a Piscataway, N.J., business address, created specifically for this project.

Architecture information from Dorsky+Yue gives us a rendered glimpse of what this project may look like: https://dorskyyue.com/portfolio/the-district-at-mitchell-ranch/ According to their website:

The District at Mitchell Ranch in New Port Richey, Florida, is a fully walkable residential and commercial mixed-use Transit-Oriented-Development integrating retail, residential, office, fitness, and entertainment on 43 acres creating a vibrant community and destination.

Food Review: Blaze Pizza in Trinity

1 Dec
Posted on Author Jay @ Welcome to Trinity!

Prior to Blaze Pizza opening their Trinity location in The Villages at Mitchell Ranch, I had never heard of them before. I was intrigued by their menu and by some of the things I had heard from friends and family who had tried the concept in other areas. I was also interested in trying out their “Keto” pizza.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve been on Keto for almost two years. Keto-friendly pizza is a myth and practically every place that advertises it doesn’t know what they’re talking about and will serve you a pizza that will surely kick you out of Ketosis after the first slice or two. With that said, I gave it a shot. After doing some research on their Keto product, it does, in fact, appear to be completely Keto friendly. I’m sold. Let’s try it.

Blaze Pizza was pretty busy the first time we went there. It was a Saturday night around 6:30 p.m., and the line was well outside of the door. This wasn’t a good first sign, but it turned out the line moved pretty quickly. I was a novice at ordering, so I stumbled a bit but ended up with their Keto crust, spicy red sauce, and some meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms. My family ordered two additional, non-keto friendly Pizzas.

They were quickly sent to the oven, and within a few minutes, our names were called. The pizza’s not only looked fantastic; they were very, very good. Everyone was happy with their pizza, no complaints from anyone in our party.

We’ve been back to Blaze Pizza 4 times in the past two months. Each time, the service has been great, and the resulting pizza has been phenomenal. We haven’t had a bad experience with them, and I don’t think you will either.

Blaze Pizza in Trinity is located in The Village at Mitchell Ranch. Their address is 3194 Word Way, Suite H-3, Trinity, Florida 34655. Their phone number is (727) 250-0777.
