Brewery City Pizza (BCP) has been ‘doughing it right for 40 years!’ “Pizza is community,” says Bob Ramaker, Regional Manager. Pizza is a favorite for family gatherings, sporting events, celebrations, graduations and fun. Find BCP restaurants in Tumwater, Olympia, and Lacey. “We feel connected to the community,” adds Ramaker.
BCP’s new program supports local non-profits through a meaningful partnership. The selected agency ‘takes over’ the restaurants for a day, receiving a percentage of all revenues from the food, beverages and take-out orders. People from the non-profit will be on hand to provide information to those who are interested. Any customer who happens to show up on the given day is welcome and not required to do anything but enjoy their meal.
Plans are to partner with eight to twelve organizations over the course of a year. The Thurston County Soccer Association leads off in the spring. Other days are scheduled for Habitat for Humanity and GRuB (Garden-Raised Bounty).
Brewery City has always been a steady employer for students and young people. “It’s a good place to start your career,” notes Ramaker. Employees learn cooperation, effective communication and other valuable skills. “We take care of our people the right way. We want people to feel valued in a culture of care,” adds Ramaker.
The family-owned business creates well-crafted pizzas, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. The dough and sauce are made from scratch, as are the meatballs. Salads change seasonally and recipes stored safely in the ‘vault’ reappear at various times. There are also pizza recipes in the vault. The Spudtacular is back by popular demand. If one of the original pizza pies isn’t exactly what you want, you can CYO, Create Your Own. BCP offers two gluten-free crust alternatives, including one made with cauliflower.
BCP works thoughtfully to provide value and satisfaction. The lunch menu is designed with tight time frames in mind. There are specials at a happy hour from 3-5pm with value-priced appetizers and drinks.
“We feel the heart and soul of community is small business,” says Ramaker. Whether you want to celebrate or enjoy a casual time at home, Brewery City Pizza can help. The people within Brewery City plan to be part of this community for a long time.
