BJ's Brewhouse

Nice people, but the worst gf pizza I have ever had! The crust - on all 4 pizzas - was hard and difficult to chew, the "extra" cheese was ignored, and there was not enough sauce to even cover the crust - even though we ordered double! We ate the toppings - scant as they were - and threw the crusts away. In fairness, the manager offered to replace them when I called, but we all decided to stick with PizzaRev from now on. UPDATE: I ended up returning on New Years Day and the pizza was much better this time. I learned that it is best to specify that you are ordering GF due to allergy so that a manager makes your food. Also, I let them know that I had a bad prior experience, which helped in getting my order right. Consequently I am revising my rating from 1 to 3 stars.

So yummy pizza and cookie is to die for!

Delicious gluten free pizza

Got sick an hour later

Visiting El Paso for work, not many celiac safe options. I ate here twice and had the salmon quinoa bowl. It was healthy and tasty, I did not get “glutened”. They even had a GF pizookie, but I’m dairy free so I didn’t order.

I spent time researching the menu items online before going and I ordered things that were on the GF menu (a salad and GF piezookie). When my piezookie was brought to my table the ice cream was in a carton so I put it on my piezookie and started eating it. I assumed they brought it that way so it wouldn’t melt as fast. I was about halfway done when the waitress said “you know the ice cream isn’t gluten free, right?”. I had never heard of plain vanilla ice cream containing gluten. Their online menu says the ice cream is safe for people eating gluten free so I don’t know if they changed distributors or what, but I was annoyed that nobody told me that before I started eating it since I mentioned celiac disease.

Usually BJ's is good, but just as a heads up I got glutened last time I was here. The cooks had been using a palette knife to put aioli on all the burgers, so the whole lot was contaminated with crumbs and gluten before they put any aioli on my burger.

Be wary of sauce that's not from a bottle!

Ordered a cup of soup and it came out with croutons on it. While they fixed the issue, the service was sub par and the food is average. By far, the best thing about BJ’s is the gluten free pazookie!
