About

About BJ's Restaurants

BJ's Restaurants was founded in 1978 in Santa Ana, California, as a small pizza parlor specializing in Chicago-style deep dish. The concept grew steadily through the 1990s and 2000s as BJ's expanded into a full-service casual dining experience, adding an on-site brewery and a broad menu that now covers everything from soups and salads to ribs, pasta, and burgers.

The chain's defining innovation has been the Pizookie — a portmanteau of "pizza" and "cookie" — a full-size chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast-iron skillet and served molten-hot under a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Introduced in the mid-1990s, the Pizookie has become one of the most recognizable desserts in casual dining and is regularly cited as the top reason guests return to BJ's.

Today, BJ's operates more than 200 locations across roughly 30 states, with a concentration in California, Texas, and Florida. The company brews its own handcrafted beers on-site at many locations and offers a rotating seasonal tap list alongside a full bar program. BJ's continues to position itself at the intersection of a neighborhood sports bar and a full-service family restaurant, offering a broad menu and happy-hour specials that appeal to a wide range of diners.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the Pizookie at BJ's Restaurants?

The Pizookie is BJ's signature dessert — a full-size cookie baked fresh in a cast-iron skillet and served straight out of the oven with a large scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. The name is a blend of "pizza" and "cookie," a nod to BJ's roots as a pizza restaurant. It comes in over a dozen flavors including Original Chocolate Chunk, Salted Caramel, Oreo, Peanut Butter, and seasonal varieties. The Pizookie has been on the menu since the mid-1990s and is consistently one of the chain's most-ordered items.

Does BJ's Restaurants brew its own beer?

Yes. BJ's is a full brewhouse and crafts its own handcrafted beers on-site at many locations. Flagship beers include the BJ's Handcrafted Lager, Piranha Pale Ale, Jeremiah Red (an Irish-style red ale), and a rotating lineup of seasonal and limited-batch brews. The beer program is a central part of BJ's identity as a brewhouse rather than a standard casual dining chain. Not all locations have an active on-site brewery, but all carry the full BJ's beer lineup.

Does BJ's Restaurants serve Chicago-style deep dish pizza?

Yes — deep dish pizza is how BJ's got started. The chain was founded in 1978 as a Chicago-style pizza parlor in Santa Ana, California, and deep dish remains a cornerstone of the menu. Guests can order individual 6-inch deep dish pans or larger formats. BJ's also offers thin-crust pizzas for those who prefer a lighter option. Toppings range from classic pepperoni and sausage to vegetarian builds.

BJ's Restaurants hours vary by location, but most are open seven days a week from approximately 11:00 AM to midnight, with some locations extending to 1:00 AM on Friday and Saturday nights. Happy hour is typically offered in the late afternoon and early evening. Check the official BJ's website at bjsrestaurants.com and use the location finder to see the exact hours for your nearest restaurant.

Does BJ's Restaurants have a happy hour?

Yes. Most BJ's locations offer a happy hour with discounted drinks, including half-price craft beers, discounted cocktails, and reduced-price appetizers.

Confirm your location's schedule on the official BJ's site.

Does BJ's Restaurants have gluten-free options?

BJ's offers a gluten-free menu that includes pizza on a gluten-free crust as well as salads, proteins, and sides that can be prepared without gluten-containing ingredients. As with most restaurants, BJ's kitchens are not certified gluten-free environments, so cross-contamination is possible. Guests with celiac disease or a severe gluten intolerance should inform their server and review the allergen guide on the BJ's website.

Does BJ's Restaurants have a kids' menu?

Yes. BJ's offers a children's menu with kid-friendly options such as pizza, pasta, burgers, and chicken tenders in smaller, more affordable portions. Kids' meals are typically served with a choice of side and a fountain drink. The Pizookie is also popular with younger guests as a shareable dessert.

Yes. BJ's Restaurants offers takeout orders placed online at bjsrestaurants.com or via the BJ's mobile app. Delivery is available through the app and through third-party services such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub at participating locations.

Does BJ's Restaurants offer catering?

Yes. BJ's provides catering options for groups and events, including party platters of appetizers, pizza, and desserts.
