BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse: A Webster Brewpub

Webster locals looking for a draught of exceptional beer and a solid meal have been flocking to BJ’s for years, and for good reason. This small chain started in 1978 in California and has spread throughout the United States on the strength of its food and atmosphere. The key to BJ’s success is their exceptional deep dish pizza. Made Chicago-style, these pizza pies are dense, filling and flavorful.

Some of the more popular combinations include the Pepperoni Extreme, featuring BJ’s signature five cheese blend and the Sweet Pig with pineapple and oven-roasted ham. The menu goes way beyond pizza, though, with other high-quality offerings including the baby back ribs and the overstuffed burgers. As you’d expect from the restaurant’s name, they also brew their own beer, which is quite good. The Oasis amber is the pick to sample for first-timers, but just about everything is worth trying.
