After my last review of this Cicis Pizza's amazing comeback and the joy it game this community when they saw the sign NOW OPEN, I decided to revisit the restaurant to see how it was doing and to enjoy their buffet of salad bar, pizza bar, and a few desserts.
I arrived on a Friday early evening and the place was packed with families and groups of friends dining and enjoying a good time together. The restaurant was very clean and I was able to observe one of the suggestions the I had given management in my last review. One of the staff ladies who picked up the used plates from the tables, went further and asked a special needs lady what she was drinking so she could go and refill it.
As I walked to the softdrink machine, I notice at the back of the restaurant there was an area with modern game machines and some kids playing. One of the things that corporate had planned to include in all of their restaurants that they kept open.
At the softdrink machine, I was happy to see they had Cherry Coke, one of my favorite softdrinks that not every restaurant has. The front dining area and booths were all full but I found an empty table in the middle of the restaurant where I placed my my drink and some napkins to reserve the seat, as well as my Tommy H Winter coat that I purchased last year, at the end of the Winter, 0n sale, at Macy's.
First I went directly to their salad bar and prepared me a large salad in one of the diner plates. What I like about their Salad bar is that they have just enough of the right ingredients, and that they're always fresh, especially the cherry tomatoes. Also the right selection of salad dressing, and their bacon bits. The only vegetable that wasn't cut right was the onions, but I felt that the shift manager would shortly notice and replace it with other onions. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the food and the place.
After I finished my large salad, I went for their pizza slices selection. Their kitchen staff were continously bringing out fresh, hot, pizzas right out of the oven, so you got to eat them fresh, not reheated. I also liked the small size slices, that gave the option of having many slices of your favorite pizza, or trying a variety of them. For dessert I had a slice of their dessert pizza and what looked like an apple cinnamon roll. And a refill of my Cherry Coke.
With so many people enjoying good comfort food and a good time with family and friends, I can anticipate that this restaurant will be a total success, because word of month is a powerful advertisement. Just today in the middle of the conversation with some friends I hadn't seen in a while, we ended up talking about Cicis Pizza. They weren't aware that it was again open, but the couple told me they were definitely going there this week for dinner. read more
