After months of watching these CiCi's commercials for pizza for under $5 a person I had to investigate for myself. I had been mislead before with the promise of cheap yet good tasting pizza (anyone remember eatza pizza)? Back when I was a kid there was one day out of the month that I looked forward to when it came to the school lunch, and that was pizza day! Sure it was nothing more than the kind that your mom bought and tossed into the microwave when she did not feel like cooking, but to you it was still pizza LOL. Now as an adult I have learned the difference between that and what real pizza is.
An all you can eat pizza buffet how can that be a bad thing right? Well in this case it can be really, really, bad trust me!! Let's start with the concept. For $4.99 you gain access to salad, pasta, and of course pizza. Except the pasta looks old and flavorless, the salad taste like it has been sitting out to long and the pizza........ well it taste horrible.
They claim to offer over 10 types of pizza yet all I saw was three pepperoni and two cheese pizzas. They did finally make a sausage pizza when someone asked for it but with so many people there it was gone in 60 seconds (eat your heart out Nick Cage Lol) and it took about 15-20 minutes for them to put out another one! The pasta looked bad but I gave it a shot (big mistake). It tasted like someone just overcooked a box of pasta and threw in a jar of Ragu and some left over chicken and cheese.
Just so you don't think that all I plan to do is bash this place I will say that the tea was really good. But it was nestea so is it fair to give them credit for something they do not make? Sure....... humm I guess LOL. To be fair what does one really expect to get when they spend only $4.99? Good food that does not give you stomach pains the rest of the night? Pride in the products you offer? I don't even know anymore LOL.
I guess I will do what my grandma's friend used to and lower my expectations. For some this is good food at a price they can afford. But speaking as a person with taste buds I will have to say thanks but no thanks.
Good pizza for under $5.00? not here
Case closed
