A all-you can eat pizza buffet sounds like a great idea. I remember when Pizza Hut had the lunch buffet and that was good stuff. ALL all-you-can-eat buffets are awesome, right? Most of the Cici's in this area closed but this one remains standing and I'm not sure how. Or why. There was a short line when we arrived but it took forever and a minute to get up to the register. The cashier was answering the phones, walking away from the register. It was really frustrating. Finally made it to the front of the line and paid our way to the full belly party. The food is not fantastic. It's not even great. Some of it is not even good. But it is all-you-can-eat... So they got that going for them. T he restaurant is in pretty sad conditions. Missing and waterstained ceiling tiles and filthy restrooms are the two that really stand out. I really got turned off when they ran out of clean plates... and people started reusing their dirty plates. Not cool people of Cici's, not cool. Don't you know the cardinal rule of buffets?! It's like double dipping at a party - You just don't do it! It would take a really good review from a trusted friend to get me back into this location... Or maybe an empty stomach and only $8 to my name. Meh, probably not,

seriously disgusting .. when I am paying 5 dollars for AYCA pizza I don't expect a 5 star experience by any means .. honestly, we have been here in the past when we wanted something cheap & easy & it was not bad .. again, for 5 dollars for all you want .. NEVER AGAIN .. on my last & FINAL visit this place was totally filthy .. granted it was crowded but the inside of this place looked like a dumpster .. the ice machine was empty & I could see why .. kids were running around everywhere grabbing more & more soda & what was left of the ice was on the ice machine under the dispenser in a huge pile that just kept melting & dropping ice on the floor .. the 1st 5 forks I pulled out were either dirty or bent .. no knives available .. the pizza selection was not as good as it usually is but tasted as I expected for 5 dollars .. when someone finally saw it was time to clean tables off the person that came around was just as filthy as the rest of the place .. uniform caked w/what looked like days of old food & the cart he was using was not fit for the inside of a restaurant busy w/diners .. there were also clear containers on it filled w/liquids w/food floating around that looked like the inside of a toilet .. a very dirty toilet .. gross .. so again, granted it is 5 dollars but I won't spend that much to eat here ever again

This place is actually really great if you're on a diet. You're guaranteed to see or smell something that will make you lose your appetite. Need to use the bathroom? You'll have to walk through the back hall which will either smell like a dumpster or vomit. Shame these places are so filthy. The cheesy garlic bread is actually phenomenal. And I know others who feel the same way about the cinnamon rolls.

If I'm not craving for buffet pizza, I'm not going there. This place really like a garbage restaurant, it is really dirty to dine in. Food wise is great for the price, too bad other cleaner Cici's pizza is closed.

I was in the mood for some pizza - right away! I had purchased a frozen pizza at the local grocery store, but decided I didn't want to wait to get that baked. So... never having been in this place, I stopped by on a Sunday around noon to check it out. I must have timed it right, because even though most of the seats were taken, there was no one in line. I had to ask the cashier to explain how it would work if I wanted just some slices. Turns out you can order as though you were going through the buffet, and you are given a to-go box - but you are limited to 2 slices of pizza, 2 breadsticks, soda and a dessert - for $5. So I gave it a try. I decided the veggie pizza was fine, and loved the soft crust. The buffalo chicken had a nice flavor, but the chicken itself was just these miniscule cubes thrown on top (well, only part of the top at that). The dessert I chose was like a danish, and was very yummy. Overall, I'd say this is a quick and easy way to get a hot pizza fix, and I would go back and probably opt for sitting down so I could get the unlimited version the next time.

Wish I could rate negative stars! For starters there was no silverware and the very few plates they had were mostly dirty. When I managed to find a semi clean plate I passed by the "salad bar" which was just lettuce olives and peppers, no meat or cheese. Then I get to the pizzas, they had maybe ten or so pizzas out and every pizza was basically just a meat pizza of some sort. With the exception of the one cheese pizza. I should probably add that the customers were some of the rudest, most obnoxious people who have no idea what a line is. I would compare it to a bunch of hogs fighting over the food trough. When we finally sat in our dirty booth we took one bite of the pizza, which tasted like cheap frozen pizza, my wife found a hair on her pizza. We had enough, so we proceeded to walk out having paid about $12 for one bite of disgusting dirty food. For all fairness I have been to a Cici's in Indianapolis area which I was very happy with and it was NOTHING like this one.

The best word to describe CiCis is mediocre. The tomatoes sauce they use lacks Italian spices and the pasta is usually mushy and overcooked. The salad bar has been slightly improved with more veggies hurray. With a little imagination and a few spices this place could be greatly improved. This is pizza for people with six little kids and no idea what good Italian food is. This is corporate UNINSPIRED food.

My kids LOVE CiCi's. I could live without it. The pizza is edible, but nothing spectacular. They do have some cool pizza's like Mac n cheese, buffalo chicken, BBQ, deep dish, and so on. There is a small salad and pasta bar, Alfredo and red sauce with some noodles. I would never order pizza to go, just because it's not that good. Usually pretty dry, flat/thin, under or overcooked, too little or too much sauce, just not constant in any way. I can honestly say my kids have never once complained about the food NOT ONCE. I will however pay $5 for my kids to fill up and play some games in the mini game room. The place isn't overly clean, and the staff isn't always the nicest, but I don't expect much at a $5 buffet. If you've got kids take them, but I suggest you , the parents, eat first! 3 stars instead of 1 only because my kids would have given it 5! Fair is fair!

Cici's is great for me. I am a student on a budget and Cici's gives my as much as I want for $5. I can't find that freedom anywhere else. The food, however is fairly low quality. I think that Cici's is a value buy but you are getting what you pay for. As for post meal issues, I have never been unsatisfied no matter how much dessert pizza I eat!

Nothing to brag about...it wasn't really packed (went on a Sunday afternoon). The cinnamon rolls was not done and parts of it was raw dough. Saw a little girl (maybe around 12) scratch her "area" and touched the straws...that definitely did not go well with me. High chance that I will not be returning to that particular location.

Man, this place is packed every time I go! Well, I've only visited twice and both times, it was insane. Kids running everywhere, pizza being dropped on the floor, people hustling to get in the pizza line, and refilling drinks all make for a 'unique' dining experience. I could see coming here and tolerating the atmosphere IF the pizza was good enough. But it's not. The pizza is just average, at best. Actually, I tried some BBQ chicken pizza and the chicken was terrible. It was dry, over cooked and it had a funny, rotten taste to it. The price is right and I love the all-you-can-eat buffet concept, but it's just too crazy for my taste. I doubt that I'll visit again.

First time Ci Ci's virgin. Took the kids here to get their eat on. Started off with the salad which was average. I liked the fact that they had soup available for you as well. It was chicken noodle the day I visited. Cheeseburger pizza was pretty good, different, and did taste like i was eating a cheeseburger. Taco pizza was good, tastes like an average taco. There is also desert pizza to satisfy your sweet tooth. All you can eat makes it a good value as well. It was moderately busy with kids and adults balancing out the crowd. The place was relatively clean. I would come back here again, not so much that the pizza was outstanding, but it was good eating and family friendly.

Let's just get this out of the way right now. This place isn't Angelo's Pizza or some place that's going to serve up some gourmet pie with unique cheeses and meats. If you're expecting a unprecedented culinary experience, don't go here. However, if you're looking to spend a little and to get a lot to eat in a fun atmosphere, this is the place to go. The manager here is exceptional. He asked us what type of pizzas we wanted him to make multiple times, and he even brought a few pieces out to the table for us. The guy's personality was infectious and jolly and he really made our eating experience a lot of fun. There are some really great pizzas here, in my opinion. The thin crust pizza is good, and so is the BBQ chicken pizza. I always have several helpings of the various types of cheesesticks too. The dessert pizzas are quite good as well. Also, it's good to get a few vegetables in the mix, so be sure to check out their green salad. Sure, there's kids everywhere and the place may not be immaculate, but it's nothing that a personal-sized bottle of hand sanitizer won't fix. I always eat way too much when I come here, so I don't come here very much. When I do, though, I've never left disappointed. Lower your expectations, open your mind, be ready to have some fun, and you won't either!

Disgusting place! We've seen the commercials so many times but this was the nearest one to us so on our ride home from Chicago we decided to finally knock this off our list of places. This location was DIRTY! The floors were absolutely disgusting with food everywhere and if not they were soaked with some thick non water substance we both gave up trying to figure out what it was. We assume spoiled milk since that is what the building smelled like. The food was incredibly average. The pasta sauces had no flavor, neither did the pizza. The best was the Mac and cheese pizza and the white pizza was ok. The dessert was ok too but nothing special. I decided to use the bathroom before we headed back on the 140 miles we had left and I believe I would have been better whipping my junk out on the highway and playing chicken with my rod versus a speeding car. I do not know if all CiCis Pizza are like this but pretty much certain we will not go and find out. If you are in Buffalo, visit Toni Pepperonis and see a real pizza buffet with cleanliness and flavor. Even for $8 each this was overpriced.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
