The Scene – BJ's boasts a trendy reclaimed-barn look with vaulted redwood beams. Eclectic touches abound; rococo mirrors sparkle against corrugated-iron walls and the odd chandelier sprouts absentmindedly amidst Art Deco lamps. The bar area boasts beer-label posters and the ubiquitous big-screen TV blaring the big game on ESPN. – – The Food – The extensive, carbo-loaded menu is perfect for buffering those home brews. The bruschetta, loaded with tomatoes, is a favorite and the minestrone is stew-thick with a hint of oregano. The fish and chips gives mixed results:…

Bj's Pizza

by myrnass

Bjs is always such good pizza. This has to be the best location in orange county. Located in the heart of long beach you get a lot of diverse people going in there alll the time.

by zissy

I called to place an order for delivery and the phone staff was very pleasant. I received my food in a timely fashion and the delivery person was very friendly.

I ordered the Minestrone Soup and the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. The soup was very tasty and so was the garlic bread. The spaghetti had a very strange taste to it. I'm not sure what the spices are but it's not like any sauce that I have ever had before and it will be the last time I order it.

So for almost 20. I got to enjoy the staffs friendliness and a bowl of soup.........sorry guys. I will give you another chance but it won't be for the spaghetti.

Not the best place for pizza

by panchamora

well, the pazooki is the best dessert! hands down...i mean who can resist a giant cookie, right out of the oven with some great tasting vanilla ice cream! but i wouldnt recommend anything else..the pizza is weirdly made..well not too weirdly but i dont like the tomatoe chunks on top and the calzon is not the best...the ambience is entertaining but i can go for pizza elsewhere...

Good Food!

by sxctighteyez

Imagine trying to find someplace to eat on a day like MOTHER'S DAY! We didn't really have any concrete plans and didn't feel like being bothered with a crowd...so we went to BJs! There was hardly anyone there (outside of the employees) and the food was great (as usual). I decided to be different and have the spinach and artichoke pizza...YUM YUM...although I could've done without the onions!! Don't count them out on weird psuedo holidays!!

  • Pros: Good food, great service
