We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Doce Taqueria, born in 2015 on Pittsburgh's South Side, brings a unique blend of authentic Mexican street fare with a vibrant Los Angeles twist. In 2022, Christie Miller, a Pittsburgh native, took the reins as the new owner of both the South Side and McKnight Road locations. Christie's connection to Doce runs deep; she's been a dedicated part of the team since its inception, having served as an employee and manager, and even played a role in the franchise's early development. Christie, alongside Head Chef Gage Lubbert, another Doce veteran since 2015, is on a mission to transform Doce Taqueria into a household name. Their efforts are already bearing fruit, with a third Doce location opening in Bridgeville. Building this full-service restaurant from the ground up has been a challenging yet incredibly rewarding endeavor for both Miller and Lubbert, marking a significant milestone in their careers. For Doce Taqueria, the future looks incredibly bright!
