Build-your-own pizza chain Blaze Pizza should worry traditional pizza retailers from Pizza Hut to Domino's. The LeBron James-backed company has gone from an idea in 2011 to nearly 160 locations nationwide, with an additional 94 restaurants in the pipeline.

The company racked up $130 million in 2016 sales through September, up 86% year over year. Revenue is on track to hit $300 million in 2017, according to a company spokesperson.
