    Joselyn was a good server. The Bus Boy was so kind and organized. He was so accommodating that evening. Celebrating daughter birthday. Was hoping they would have brought a little slice of cake for her as we mentioned it was her birthday

    I'm glad that BJ's does reservations now via OpenTable. Checked in at the front desk and the host showed us to the table that was already setup. Service was good and food quality was consistent as it has been there for over 20 years.

    I could write whole books about how much I love the pizza (because it's utterly sensational), but I really love how accessible and low key this restaurant is while still giving you the incredible flavors that Che Fico's locations consistently deliver. Ordering with QR code is a breeze and everything comes out super quick, but servers are still available & very friendly. Really love meeting friends here before/during a Warriors game or on a nice clear evening to share a pie with a view of the bridge, it's just too easy not to!
