We drive from Pittsburgh because this is the closest Cicis to us and we hit Jungle Jims next door. Buffet is yummy and employees are nice. It's your classic greasy, kid filled, run by teenagers pizza place. But we are so happy to visit every couple of years. Mac n cheese pizza is such a classic Cicis experience. 5 stars for what is and if you are expecting anything more than what it is, go eat somewhere else. read more

Cicis Pizza - Time to drive 5 hours back home to Pittsburgh after coming out to relive the nostalgia of Cicis buffet :) - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The food was not worth the $9.99 that it cost for a buffet. The pizza is not much better than store bought pizza. The brownies were very gooey. The game room was a huge disappointment. The cashier seemed annoyed. The restaurant was very dirty. There were dirty tables everywhere. I will not come back. read more

It is a great place to go for the pizza and the kids would like the game room pizza buffet is good. You can get salad pasta and you go back as many times as you want to and I think the price is right. read more

Don't waste your money. Went for lunch, paid and was asked what to drink. I said water. Guy gave me a baby cup, so I could make 10 trips for water during my lunch. I put it back and got a small cup. Young boy yelled over the counter at me in front of customers, telling me to put it back, or he would charge me $2.45. (For. Small cup) I asked if he was joking and he said know. I asked for the manager. The owner Rob came to the counter. I asked again if this was a joke, he said he would have to charge me $2.45 for a small cup. I asked for my money back because I hadn't taken a seat yet. He stated in a cocky tone "all sales were final" even though I had receipt in hand. I asked again for my money back, and he repeated the same back with a smile on his face. I just paid almost $9 and he refused to refund my money. I figured I would eat, since I wasn't about to give this cheap owner anything for free. I are cold spaghetti and pizza with very stingy amounts of topping and cheese. Most everything full of Gluten, which causes all sorts of health problems. I told him before leaving, that I would post his no refund (All sales are final) policy and his greedy greedy ways. I would not recommend this place, as I watched young employees go from taking money to making pizzas bare handed without washing in between customers. Owner was not so worried about the health of his customers, as he was a .2cent cup. Never again! (See 2 photos) read more

This will be my 1st review of this restaurant as well as my last visit to it. I've been here 3 times. Each time I'm disappointed. I suppose I'm hopeful that I'll get the Cici's experience that I once had years ago. But I have to accept that's never coming back. Upon entering, we were greeted by the cashier's back as she stood watching television. I suppose she was being thoughtful and not rushing us while she stood not speaking to us w/ her eyes glued to the tv. Once we paid for the buffet. We went to look for a clean table. Unfortunately, the only clean tables were on the side closed up for the evening. ( very peculiar because we got here at 7pm & the hours state they are open till 9pm ) As you can imagine the variety of pizza was poor. The only whole pies were ones that were undesirable. Maybe I have to accept this is dining out in these new times. Maybe I should accept that I need to cook for myself & avoid the aggravation. Good luck should you decide to chance it yourself. I only rated it 2 stars because there was at least food to eat. And they did have packets of crushed red peppers, although no Parmesan. read more

I was pretty happy when they reopened the CIci's in Eastgate, because I love cheap buffets and salad bars. This new location is very clean, with friendly staff that will make anything you order right away, and really terrible food. Yeah I included that there at the end like it's secondary, but really lets think about it - for ~$6 you get a bunch of half-frozen vegetables and soggy lettuce, all you can order pizzas, but they don't really keep anything out on the buffet (or if they do it's gone as soon as it touches), and some... actually pretty good soup. If I had a bunch of people I wanted to feed really cheaply I might go here, but despite my very low standards Cici's still managed to underwhelm. read more

Received a coupon thru email for a lunch buffet for $4.99. Printed the coupon with the offer number on it and when it was presented to the employee, he refused to honor it. We are seniors on fixed incomes who don't go out to eat very often which is why we went here for lunch. We went ahead and paid full price because we were hungry. By the way, this place was completely empty for most of the time we were there. Remember/ The customer that hurts your business is the one that never returns. read more

Better than old cicis. Newer brighter inside. Less pizza options than before. 6.19 for buffet and 1.95 or 2.45 for drink. They offer 5 wings for a 4.25 addon which is expensive. Still have soup salad dessert and pizza on buffet. Dessert is apple pie brownies and cinnamon rolls. Pizza is thin or 1 type of thick. Breadsticks and alfredo or maranira sauce is good. Mac n cheese pizza and buffalo chicken pizza are repeat specialties. read more

Asked worker about soup they stirred it and did nothing. There were no noodles and maybe one piece of chicken in it.

The pizza was mediocre but the air hockey was fire 6/10 would eat at again. But kind of expensive $64 for 4 adults and 1 child.

Our kids got coupons for 1/2 off a child's buffet with a paying adult. We took them on a Saturday during off-peak dining. The place was packed. Upon entering there is a tiny entry full of people and a cashier. We presented the two coupons for our kids and paid for myself and my husband, it was a little over $35. Not bad - or so we thought. Next to the registers where everyone was crammed in the entry waiting to pay, there was a salad bar that wasn't impressive, think grocery store salad bars but a quarter of the size. The dressing bottles was turned over with dressing all over them. People had to squeeze past anyone making a salad. It was awkward. We found a table, it was dirty. We wiped it down and went to the buffet. There was 5 pizza options. The spinach Alfredo was good and didn't seem to he a favorite. The pepperoni was never available, they would put another one out and people would rush the counter to take whatever they could of it. The bbq pizza was weird and went rather fast too. The supreme had giant chunks of green bell pepper and onion that was barely cooked, only some blackening like someone held a flame to it for a second. The 2 dessert options were constantly gone. We got lucky and was standing next to it when they brought a new one out, it was hard like it hadn't been baked. I guess maybe there wasn't enough ovens to keep up with the demand. The place was a mess, there were kids grabbing at the pizzas without the serving utensil, the employees looked like they was in a constant state of disarray and the drink area was horrible. There were spills all over the counter and the floor was sticky, cup lids thrown around, straw wrappers on the machine overflow, pepperoni laying on the counter by the lids. It wasn't my scene. It felt like a daycare center. A lot of the parents that sat in the back near the game area let their kids have the reign of the place. Not somewhere I want to go again. The pizza we got to try wasn't good, it was less quality than a frozen pizza. I recommend a trip to Chuck E Cheese over this place and it doesn't cost much more. read more

I haven't been to Cici's since I was in High School so now that I am older and I found this place here I was looking forward to eating here. The food was meh, The tea was too sweet, the Raspberry one at least. Also one of the workers was cleaning the section in front of the pizzas with a rag and a disinfectant spray. He just sprayed it on the counter space in front of the food...so the food was getting sprayed with the cleaner solution!! I told one of the workers and she said, "Oh, he just started".....this is common sense to not spray cleaning spray on food...smh..don't go here. read more

My teenage grandson don't eat pizza so I bought him strips fries and a drink from somewhere else . We walked in with my other grandkids and I purchased a buffet for all of us because he wanted dessert I was told he couldn't have outside food inside . I said well I'm buying him a buffet and was told well he still has a drink he can't have it either. My other grandkids were begging to stay. Needless to say we stayed and he ate in the car. I should of followed my intuition the food was old and cold. Till the end of our visit they brung out fresh pizza's. 1st time and last time visit. read more

I had the pizza last week was very good. No complaints price was great the employees where very nice and helpful Would go there again

We came in near closing and they were more than accommodating us. They were extremely helpful with a couple variety that were not on the board yet and because it was quite enough by the time we left they told us just to leave Erb stuff on the table and they will take care of it. That was refreshing. Great staff tonight good food I will definitely be back to this location read more

In one word - Dirty. My biggest gripe about this restaurant is that it was not clean. The dirty dish return station was overflowing. The floor was dirty and almost every table was dirty. The dining room was obviously neglected for a very long time. We had to wipe off our own table. I think one of the customers must have complained and an employee came out and proceeded "clean" a couple of tables, organized the dirty plates then to go back to the cashier area. She then started to fill the salad bar. She did NOT was her hands at any time. Going to a pizza buffet restaurant I have low expectations of food quality. The food pretty much met my low expectations. There were several variations of Pizza of which non really stood out for taste. Some pizzas were hot but most were not. Our bill for two buffets and drinks was just over $17. Do yourself a favor and go to Rapid Fire Pizza around the corner or another restaurant close by. I will not be returning. read more

Great food , super clean and friendly staff . Great price to feed the family also . Kids enjoyed the game area as well read more

I visited this Cici's shortly after it opened and the food was good. I went last week though and it was just...eh... the best was the dessert pizza. The mac and cheese pizza was very dry. The rest of the pizza was room temperature at best. read more

Did not have high expectations going in but the overall visit was very underwhelming. Limited selection on the salad and pizza buffets. Overall, not much flavor to the pizza. Best thing on the buffet were the desserts. read more

Look. If you're going to compare Cici's to other pizza restaurants, like Larosa's for example, it's like comparing a corvette to a chevette. With that said, my review is based on the fact Cici's gives you a pizza, pasta and salad buffet for a little over $6! This location is above average to the other locations I have visited in the past on Cici's first launch in our area years ago. I only take off one star for the lack of variety (last time there were three types of pepperoni and two cheese pizzas on the bar at the same time). Also, they sometimes have a hard time keeping up with demand. Often, the bar is half empty because it all gets devoured so quickly. So, if youre patient and wait around a bit for the empty slots to get filled with more pizza, and if you utilize the personal custom pizza option (one with every adult buffet), then you really can't beat it for the price. If you want to spend 3x the price for pizza and are only moderately hungry, then go to Larosa's! read more
