| - My expectations were way too high--I've been hearing about this place from my boyfriend for a solid 4 years and I finally got to try it this week.
The place is one big open room, with mustard yellow colored walls and photos of their food nailed up. I'd say 85% of the customers (at least when I was there) are overweight, with a percentage of that being obese, hands down. Lots of kids of course, it's only $5.50, where else can you get a deal like that for a family with kids?
We'll go down the list here:
Cheese Pizza: Maybe this is the alfredo pizza Melissa C was talking about...it was just crust with white sauce and mozzarella. I needed to dip it in marinara to get some flavor.
Spinach Alfredo: Same as above, the sauce was more prominent and had cooked spinach. Good, but since I knew it was alfredo I only had one serving. Alfredo=super bad for me in my mind. I know, I know, I'm at a freakin' pizza buffet, but I felt like this one was higher cal than the other choices.
Cheese Pizza with marinara sauce: This was a rare occurence! I guess it kept getting snatched up by the little kids.
Macaroni and Cheese Pizza: I wish I had this when it was fresh out of the oven, but it was an experience. Interesting flavor combo.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza - I'm a vegetarian and even if I weren't I would have picked off the tiny tiny cubes of chicken. They didn't look appetizing at all. This one has cheese with drizzles of hot wing sauce--There was a little too much sauce on my pizza, I think the sauce could be changed, or the cheese, something, the flavor is just not balancing out.
Cinnamon Buns: OMG heaven. I love cinnamon. They were soft, warm, ooey gooey. Not your traditional "cinnamon bun," it was a small bun covered, COVERED in cinnamon sugar/butter mix with a light drizzle of icing.
Apple Pizza - yummy sweet dough with an apple goo (no discernable pieces of apple here!) sprinkled with a streusel topping.
The desserts made the experience. Bottomline, I had been too hyped up on this place, the expectations were too high. I'd like to see some partitions or something in the restaurant to divide it up, it is literally just one big room filled with tables, I felt like I was in a cafeteria.
If they had this place in CA I would definitely go because 1. It's cheap. 2. It's a buffet 3. Dessert.
