Board approves PJ's Pizza liquor license but requires site plan and bars entertainment and carry‑out
The Worcester County Board of License Commissioners approved a new class B beer, wine and liquor license for PJ's Pizza at 12806 Ocean Gateway, imposing several conditions intended to limit off‑premises sales and entertainment.

At the hearing, the applicant and their counsel confirmed the premises and lease details. Licensing staff and commissioners noted that the site lacks a clearly attached exhibit describing the precise portion of the building covered by the license. Commissioners required a site plan that delineates the licensed area before the license will be issued.

Board members made clear the license would not include carry‑out privileges and that no DJ, games or other live entertainment would be allowed under the approved conditions. The motion adopted by the board also required the applicant to supply a site plan that depicts the portion of the building specifically described in the application (the dining room on the right side of the building) and to respect the existing restrictions on entertainment.

The board recorded that the license transfer and related reductions of an existing license on the same property would be processed together, and staff confirmed the lease as presented was in order for the board's purposes. The record does not show a roll‑call breakdown but does record commissioners' motion and second and the board's approval with the listed conditions.

The licensee must return with the requested site plan and cannot begin licensed operations, per the board's rules, until staff receives the documentation and confirms compliance with the imposed conditions.
