BJ’s History
It was 1978 when two guys who had a great recipe for deep dish pizza
opened the first BJ’s Chicago Pizzeria in Santa Ana, California. The pizza
was an immediate hit and as years went by, new BJ’s restaurants were
opened in beach cities along Southern California’s coastline. In 1996, with
seven restaurants in operation from San Diego to Los Angeles, the first BJ’s
brewery began production in our Brea, California restaurant. Guests
welcomed the introduction of fine handcrafted beer, and the newly renamed
BJ’s Restaurant & Brewery concept was launched. New menu items and
new beers have been added through the years as the BJ’s brand has expanded
across the U.S.
Our passionate desire to provide extraordinary value for our guests in a highenergy,
fun, child-friendly environment, along with a sincere commitment to
support the communities in which we do business, goes to the heart of what
differentiates BJ’s from other restaurants.
Our success is maintained with careful attention to outstanding quality and
service. We believe that every detail makes the difference in providing a
great experience for our guests. As a member of the team, it is essential that
