Pizookie Night brings students together

If you are a high school student looking for a fun weeknight activity with a sweet treat, Pizookie Night at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse is the place for you.

We go to Pizookie Night almost every Tuesday. A Pizookie is a skillet cookie with ice cream on top. They offer a variety of different flavors, including seasonal specials and our favorites, the Strawberry Shortcake and the Cookies and Cream.

BJ’s has a menu of 10 signature Pizookie flavors as well as specialty and seasonal flavors. This includes a gluten-free option as well as a Pizookie Trio option where you receive three mini Pizookies and can mix and match flavors.

When we asked freshman Lauren Hough what her favorite Pizookie flavor was, she answered, “Chocolate Chunk.”

Young people, including Fossil students of all grades, pack BJ’s on Tuesday nights.

“I think that it can be really fun just to … get out, see your community, see your friends, and hang out with everyone,” said Fossil senior Hannah Fechheimer.

Pizookie Night is a great deal for high school students because BJ’s offers a large dessert for $5, making it relatively affordable, especially when shared.

Although the Pizookies are delicious, many people go for the vibes and community. Whether you go with a group of fifteen or just one other, it’s a fun hangout spot. Many sports teams go together as well for after-practice or game team bonding.

Our personal favorite part of Pizookie night is getting to see everyone and all of our friends from different schools and friend groups. BJ’s Pizookie Night brings together various schools and groups for a fun night.

“I think it’s just the environment. It’s kind of like a mall with all your close friends that you can just talk to them,” said junior Josh Stetz.

Just because it is a night focused on dessert does not mean you cannot still get food. BJ’s also offers an extensive menu of food and drinks that has options for everyone who visits.

We definitely recommend going to BJ’s on Tuesday nights to experience the tradition many Fossil students created.

“I think it’s just tradition because everyone from all schools go, like people from Rocky, Timnath and Collins,” Stetz said.

If you are looking to go to Pizookie Night with a big group, we recommend calling ahead to check the wait list or looking online for reservations, considering the amount of people that visit BJ’s on Tuesday night.

“Everyone’s super relaxed at BJ’s. It can be really fun, and so everyone’s just jolly, having a good time. They want to talk to people,” Fechheimer said. “So if you can find a way to get there, you should totally go. And if you’re already licensed, you should 100% go.”
