BJ’s in Pineville was great back in the day. Same pizza as Johnny’s somehow.

I can only speak for Rapides, but this is how I remember it. The current BJ's started as a Johnny's. It was great. It became BJ's. That was great. Ellic then got a Johnny's. It has always been terrible. At some point, BJ's changed the crust. It's now only mediocre, and I really can't say it's better than the other chains like I used to be able to. Honestly, I'd probably rather have Pizza Hut or even a Sam's Club pizza. We now really only eat Wildwood or Rotolo's since being burned by BJ's numerous times.

I think they were brothers, or somehow related. Elec locals swear BJ’s is better than Johnny’s. I grew up down the street from Johnny’s so it’s pretty much the only pizza we had. It’s not near as good as it used to be- the crust somehow is thicker, not thinner, and they cut the damn buffet slices wrong!

Pepperoni, Sweep or my personal favorite, pepperoni, mushroom and black olive, crispy crust.
