Mozzarella Sticks for happy hour!
Deanne L.

Been here a couple times but this most recent visit was great. All four of us ordered off the $13 meal that includes a mini pizookie. There are a handful of dishes to choose from, like a personal pizza, burger, and chicken parmigiana pasta. Also tried the wings and chips with salsa and guac. I ordered the pasta and it was a solid meal. Came with a hearty piece of chicken and good heap of noodles. No complaints about the apps. Enjoyed my hibiscus mezcalrita. Loved that we all picked different flavored Pizookie. The cookies n cream pizookie was too good. Our server was great and checked up on us frequently. Super friendly; I think her name was Cassidy.

BJ's is always open late and we came here just for that since we arrived in LaJolla late in the evening and was hungry. We also have this in the Bay Area and it's pretty slow service though. This place is a little faster service. Food is good. Good for groups or just to hang out at the bar to watch sports. We shared their BJ's personal pizza and new sampler platter. The sampler had bbq tri-tip sliders, mozzarella sticks, chicken wings and spinach queso dip. Everything was good but I really liked their pizza and chicken wings the best. Oh I chose the lemon pepper flavored wings with bone-in. We also had blue moon beer tap. Would have loved to have Pzookie dessert but I couldn't fit anymore food in me. LOL. Those are a must have! Inside the restaurant was decent and seemed new but so dark inside to see what I was reading on the menu or trying to eat my food. Servicer was good, friendly and she tried her best to accommodate us while waiting for our meals. Would come here again. [108R,2025]

Each fall I look forward to the arrival of BJ's pumpkin ale! Stopped by for a delicious early dinner. Service is impeccable, ambiance is relaxing and comfortable. Plus they have numerous flat screen tv's playing various sports. So if you're into watching sports this is a good place to go.

ahi salad

I would rate this place a 3.9. The food was good, it's a chain restaurant. The service was decent, about 20 minute wait time for food. The ambiance was roudy, very loud bar like scene. But fun if you wanna go out and watch football games or other sports games. The ahi salad was not good, so definitely skip that. But the pazookie was amazing, most of the food here is good. I've been here so many times and the food definitely is up and down in terms of freshness/preparedness, but overall a better chain than most.

Food is on par and I love that BJ's has different deals every day. The only issue is how long everything takes. My friend and I were there for almost two hours, and it was just the two of us. The pizookies are always delicious and definitely live up to the hype. But if you're looking for a quick bite or have plans after, BJ's might not be the best choice. The place is usually loud and crowded, so expect a busy atmosphere.

I didn't know BJ's has a $13 meal deal that has a small dish with a small pizookie! Such a great deal and it's perfect if you don't want to feel too stuffed. Our server was great and always checked up on us.

Happy Hour Menu (as of Aug 2025)
Eid F.

Stopped in for Happy Hour. Cold beer! Great service! Ordered Sliders and Mini Deep Dish. Sliders tasted great (x4) but mini deep dish pizza was too soft and doughy and didn't taste that good. Place was very clean. Parking was a little limited I'd come back but not order the pizza.

Chips & Housemade Guacamole Salsa
Christopher A.

First it was a going away celebration for one of our nurses in our team. Seated outside and ordered from happy hour menu. Our server was Andrea and she was great . Loud outside with cars driving by . The mozzarella sticks had the pull and the pizzas were good. Chips and guacamole nothing special . Forgot about the slider we had too was okay . Food is so so here but service was great .

Classic Cheeseburger*
Angelina Z.

Overall great experience every time! The meal pizookie deal is awesome and so affordable. The fries stood out to me most. I don't know what they do but they're so crispy and light. And BJ's pizookie are a classic. However, I think the big pizookie is a little expensive because the cookie part is pretty thin, but still really delicious and fun.

Michelle P.

Always consistent, always good, always fun service, always lively - and the food came quickly and it was piping hot - husband had a salad that looked better before he mixed it - sorry - and I wanted a small pizza - ham and pineapple - thank you very much! - nice and deep dish and hot hot hot. The beer was cold and delicious and though from a tap, did not give us that tap headache you can get from nasty tap lines. Cheers to clean tap lines! Just happy to not have to cook in my moms tiny electric kitchen, and just relax with a few beers while someone else cooked!

Dubai chocolate pizookie, monkey bread pizookie, chicken ranch piadina $13 meal deal
Melissa H.

WE LOVE PIZOOKIE TUESDAY!!! We came around 9pm and it was PACKED, but we got a seat pretty quick for a table of 3. Dubai chocolate pizookie (7/10): I've been looking forward to this for forever. The pizookie is just a brownie with some pistachio spread and knafeh. However I feel like I was kinda underwhelmed because there wasn't enough pistachio and I felt like I was just eating a brownie with knafeh. Monkey bread pizookie (8.7/10): Wow, the first couple of bites I didn't care for this but the more I ate, the more hooked I got. The monkey bread tastes like a bunch of cinnamon roll chunks, but everything was so soft and fresh! This pizookie was so big, my friends and I couldn't even finish it. I would definitely get this again! Chicken bacon ranch piadina (8/10): For a $13 meal with pizookie included, the portion was really big. The piadina came out nice and crunchy, with a lottt of cheese.

Clam Chowder, Prime Rib, Honey Sriracha Brussels & Sprouts Garlic Shrimp With Parmesan Toast
Julie H.

Stopped in after Comic Con. Prime rib special was a great deal. Drinks were decent and reasonably priced. We had a large party and were seated outside. Overall our food was pretty good. Who doesn't like a Pizookie for dessert? We were too full after our meals so we ended up taking the Pizookies home. Nice warm chewy cookies topped with ice cream. Yum! Our server was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed with the crowd of people that day.

It is the little things that make a place excel or bomb. Today, our waitress Brandi never offered a second glass of ice tea. I ordered the unlimited soup and salad combo. She never asked if I wanted more of anything. When it came to dessert, I had to remind her that mine came with a pizookie. She never checked back to see if we needed anything or if everything was tasting good. The soup I chose was the broccoli cheddar. It was very tasty, but they never seem to serve it hot. My husband ordered the Ahi tuna salad. Rather than put the wasabi on the edge of the plate, it drizzled into the salad. I guess both the servers and the kitchen had a particularly bad day today.

I was really impressed that u had a place to set my feet on because I'm very short and normally have a hard time with regular bar seats. There are a lot of cute touches like that. Hooks to hold your purse, etc. I was loving the soulful music which I thought was from a playlist so I used Shazam in order to capture the song. However, the music started to sound live so I walked around...only to find it was coming from a very talented woman named Marianne across the bar. Service was friendly, but we both noticed other tables were a bit ignored or slow to be served. We ordered a few margaritas. Cesar salad with chicken and the lobster arrabbiata with table-side Parmesan. The food was great. I'm not a big focaccia lover but there's was the best I've ever had. It was warm, light, airy, fluffy, and came with this amazing butter AND olive oil, balsamic rosemary. We used the bread to dip into the leftover pasta sauce. We ordered margaritas. I would definitely recommend the blood orange drink they have on the menu. Shout out to Morgan, who was an amazing server and Marianne whose live music changed my whole mood. You are so talented girl!

A large Supreme runs about $24, but the quality of the ingredients and consistency help justify the cost. They do have a very cost effective lunch combo. Unfortunately, I've never been able to participate in it as I work weekday. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the customer service has been solid every visit. The vibe inside is laid-back and relaxed, making it an easy place to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. It's also very family-friendly, as I almost always see families dining in. The Pizza Taproom is located in a large shopping plaza with spots like AMC, Barnes & Noble, and World Market, which makes it a convenient stop after shopping or catching a movie. Parking is plentiful, which is another plus. Overall, this is a reliable spot for quality pizza with good service and a comfortable atmosphere. While the prices keep it from being a perfect 5, everything else lines up for a solid 4-star experience.

The spirit free drinks were surprisingly expensive, with some being $14. My server, Tony, was helpful and the food came out relatively quickly. However, everyone seemed to disappear toward the end of my meal. *Lilac Fizz: a refreshing combination of lavender, lemon, and soda. This was bright and tart, although the lavender was subtle. A bit more lavender syrup would have made it feel more spring esque. *Skirt Steak Chimichurri: came with a side of broccolini and either fingerling potatoes or fries. Tony recommended the fries, and they came with a side of kalamata aioli. The fries were a tad limp but salted well. The broccolini was a bit underdone, but similarly salty. The most notable flavor came from the kalamata aioli, with pronounced acidity. I ordered the steak medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. It was juicy and pink throughout. However, it was very bland. The chimichurri tasted like almost nothing, which was a shame given that the skirt steak itself wasn't seasoned much at all. My companion ordered the salad and while the greens were piled high, the roasted chicken was skimped on despite being $21. Overall, the flavors needed to be more concentrated and distinct. Especially for the higher prices, I expected better ingredient quality. I guess it isn't a bad place to eat if you're shopping on the top floor of Nordstrom, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here when there are better options at UTC.
