BJ's restaurant (Melbourne)
Pleasantly surprised by all the options here and the last time my youngest daughter and I had lunch there, we left FULL and we had extra food to take home!

PIZZA
Only the gluten free crust is vegan and you will need to build your own pizza - Just remember you’ll need to use olive oil as the base since the marinara contains dairy. Toppings include: artichoke hearts, roasted asparagus, black olives, fresh basil, re-roasted red peppers, green bell peppers, jalapeños, mushrooms, pineapple, roasted brussels sprouts, roasted garlic, white onions
*** NOTE ABOUT BURGERS - Their veggie patty contains eggs as a binder, so it is obviously not vegan. The portobello burger could easily be vegan (without cheese or pesto), unfortunately, all of the buns contain dairy/eggs.
