As is standard procedure here at Pizza Locust, we don’t do formal reviews of pizza buffets; however, I did eat at Cici’s Pizza for lunch this week and have some general observations.
For starters, it’s hard to take a pizza place seriously that serves a macaroni & cheese pizza – and not just as a joke on the menu for adventurous souls. (You know, like bars that serve bull testicles, assuming you’ll get so drunk someone will dare you into eating them.) They actually had one on the buffet line, and people were eating it!
Quick assessment: It’s not very good, but it certainly isn’t the worst all-you-can-eat pizza place I’ve ever been in. The crust is light and reminiscent of the individual pan crust from pizza hut. The sauce tastes far too much like spaghetti sauce rather than pizza sauce – in fact, I accidentally ate a “white” pizza slice (with pepperoni) and it was better than the regular pepperoni just because of the sauce. (It was the first slice I had at Cici’s and as I took it back to my table, I couldn’t help thinking it was the most unappealing, anemic-looking piece of pizza I’d ever had in my life, but that was before I realized that it had no sauce for color, and only the grease from the pepperoni gave it a reddish tinge.)
Salad on the salad bar was wilted, but the cinnamon rolls were really good.
I can’t say I’d recommend Cici’s pizza, but if you’re hungry, and not too picky about your pizza… it can be economical.
