My main problem with BJ's thick crust is that the amount of toppings-to-crust ratio is not good. Not enough cheese and other toppings at all, so it's like a really thick (3"
bready crust with some sauce smeared on it and a few toppings.
I know that individual restaurants with chains can be vastly different. I haven't had the overly salty experience with our two local BJs restaurants, thank goodness! I don't like too much salt and hardly ever add it to food and cook with the bare minimum. It drives me crazy when people add salt without even tasting the food first.
On a side note: I love our local Carrabba's, but when I went to Arizona with my husband, we went there with a large group of people and the food was not great. Every single one of us though the food was way too salty. Very disappointing. Also, I have noticed that out of about 12-15 local Papa John's, only 2 of them have a pretty good pizza. The other ones are not very good at all. A couple of them add too much sauce and not enough cheese, and a few others somehow screw up the crust where it's either tough and chewy or doughy and undercooked. Vastly different experiences sometimes with chains!
