I've grown very fond of visiting this place for their lunch buffet since they opened a few months ago, but was disappointed, during my most recent visit, to find they had hung a large thin blue line flag in their dining room. At best, this flag is politically divisive, and at worst, it's a symbol of white nationalism and white supremacy. As much as I love the pizza and the service, I can't in good conscience eat at a place that displays this type of imagery, and I have serious reservations about visiting other BC Pizza locations if BC Pizza corporate doesn't have a problem with one of their franchisees displaying blatantly right wing, borderline fascist symbols.
Edit: No matter how benign the intent behind hanging the flag, it's a symbol that carries with it a definite political valence, as it's primarily, if not exclusively used by right wing groups. By hanging it, management is making a political statement regardless of their intent. I'd encourage them to read up on some of the nefarious groups using the thin blue line flag as well as the many police organizations across the country that have banned its use by their officers.
Evocative symbols are often coopted by political movements, and the thin blue line flag is no exception, especially after the summer of 2020. Another example of this phenomenon is the swastika, which prior to the 1930s was an ancient symbol of good luck. If a hypothetical business was displaying a swastika, they'd be without a leg to stand on claiming it was for good luck, and though it's a full order of magnitude less significant, BC Pizza of Brooklyn's management's argument that their display of a thin blue line flag in their dining room is an apolitical statement in support of local law enforcement is just as invalid. The flag carries with it more meaning than that whether it is intended or not.
I'm deeply saddened to no longer be able to eat at my favorite pizza joint. I would drive from over an hour away once a week just to eat here, but as long as the flag hangs in the dining room, I'm personally...
Read moreAmazing! As a former Northern Michigan girlie, I absolutely love that a B.C. Pizza opened up somewhat local to me. I have not been to the buffet yet, but every time I've ordered takeout, it was fresh and delicious! I recommend literally anything on the menu, but the breadsticks are my favorite! The soft, chewy garlic buttery goodness is to die for! The staff seems to be really friendly when I've interacted with them. A few small notes to improve on once you get your feet on the ground would be the online ordering. I haven't been able to get the app to work for this location, and I'd love the option for a light cook on breadsticks (personal preference). Very minor suggestions. Parking can be a bit of a pain if you go during peak times. Overall, it is amazing and I'm extremely happy to have a delicious pizza place that reminds me of home. I will be forcing all my friends and family to come here since they've heard me talk of the B.C. Pizza...
Read moreI love bc pizza they make great pizza. (Wings are ok i guess) but we decided to do the buffet today because hey its hard to find a buffet. We were the first ones here and they laid out the pizzas and man. Worse options ever. Why can't you put out a good Ole pepperoni or something simple. When I asked I was told it is what it is and left. I mean for 32 bucks for 2 put some good classics out there not a bunch of nasty ones like pickle, ranch and BBQ out.
Salad buffet was ok
The the response i get....if you read my review you would see i did ask someone someone came out the side and I asked if this was all the options and all I got was "it is what it is" so for 32 dollars for 2? I guess its all we get and...
