| - BJ's has been around for a while, and I've always wanted to go. I don't eat at chain restaurants often, but every once in a while I do. Their specialty is pizza and beer, and I was expecting a lot from BJ's and came away not impressed, but it wasn't awful.
The good:
The fried portabella fritters were awesome. They were crunchy with a lot of breading, but there was a lot of portabella in each fritter. Dip it in ranch dressing and it's a match made in heaven.
The pizza crust was excellent. It was a deep dish pizza and the crust was light, fluffy, and buttery.
The bad:
I got the BJ's Classic Combo pizza, which contained mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausage, and pepperoni. The sausage was okay, but could have been better and lacked flavor(needed more fennel). The mozzarella was actually pretty good. What killed the pizza for me was the pepperoni. The pepperoni looked like it came from the supermarket and was not high quality to me. If I'm going to pay 15 bucks for a small pizza, I want to have quality ingredients all around.
Overall, the food was okay. They need to get better pepperoni.
