CiCi's was one of the places I was really excited to go to once I moved to AZ from WA because they always played commercials for them but there aren't actually any restaurants in Washington!
It was smaller than I expected it to be but not having any other comparison I'm not counting that as a bad thing. The hostess who greeted us was very friendly and made sure we knew what our options were for dining and she gave us her name in case we had any questions. Pretty good service for a buffet if you ask me.
Being as I had never been to a CiCi's before and that I was really hungry when I went, I tried pretty much everything they had to offer. I had a couple different types of pizza, both of which were very good I thought. They had just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The amount of toppings kind of depended on which piece you picked, some had a lot, some had just one or two toppings on the entire piece.
The salad was good as well, I had the pre-made Italian style one. I liked it, I would have liked to have had croutons either already in the salad or the option to add them but it's not a deal breaker so I got over it.
Moving on to my favorite part...dessert! I had one of each of the three desserts they had out and I enjoyed all of them. The brownies were nice and soft and had a good flavor. The apple crumb pizza thing tasted JUST like apple pie but in a less messy, smaller serving size. The sticky buns were my favorite though. They were very light and fluffy and had just the right amount of frosting, not too much that you had a sugar overload but not so little that you feel like you're eating a biscuit.
I left feeling very satisfied with myself for getting good food for such a cheap price and I will definately be returning in the future!
