Saw this place on TikTok and hyped it up to my husband for us to give it a try. I feel TERRIBLE overhyping it because it 100% let us down--we walked out within the first 10 minutes after sitting down to eat. Walked in and requested for 2 buffets and an order of wings which was an extra cost. They only had 3 flavors for the bone-in wings: BBQ, zesty buffalo, and an Asian zing type flavor. We ended up placing an order for boneless instead, paid, and immediately after the transaction went thru the gentleman that took our order called out to the crew to start on the boneless wings and was immediately notified they were out. If they didn't have the boneless then we would be satisfied with just the buffet so we asked for a refund for the wings in which the gentleman had an attitude about it and called over another employee to help get our refund. They also charge $1 extra for a to-go cup (dine-in drink was included in the buffet price). We started on the buffet line which salad was first--and there was only shredded lettuce and spinach. Strange for there to be shredded lettuce for a salad as it's much harder to poke at with a fork. They had a good variety of toppings tho! Next down was spaghetti noodles, marinara sauce or meat sauce, and shelled alfredo pasta. Next was garlic croissant type bread, chicken nuggets, and seasoned waffle fries. Then began the pizza and 2 types of pizza desserts. Spaghetti and marinara was the best thing out of the entire buffet (rate 7/10 pasta). The pizza was extremely thin, NOTHING to write home about... everything overall really was just below sub-par. Extremely disappointed in this place that we almost paid nearly $45 for before taking off the wings. 100% better off going to Cici's! read more

Love the new look! I see we went up in the price, which I understand BUT if we go up on price and do a remodel you need to keep up with pizzas on the buffet. Pepperoni only came 1 time during our visit and that's what everyone was wanting. Also, it's so cold in here you can't even enjoy your food. But love the new look. read more

I literally got food poisoning from them. I thought it was good bc I seen it TikTok but hell no I got sick and went to the hospital and it was food poisoning read more

Went today for the 1st time in years. AJ took great care of us. Made sure our drinks stayed refilled and brought us the pizzas we requested.

The food was not good and it's very small. I'm not trying to be mean it's just not good, not worth the price. The service was ok the older lady giving the sodas was nice but the chubbier lady in the front was very rude and seemed like she didn't wanna be there just giving the store a bad impression since the start. If you really just want mediocre/bad pizza go to cicis. read more

Service was terrible, the owner himself was extremely rude when I asked for a refund and never refunded my money so he's also a thief as I didnt eat or drink anything. There were also bugs around the buffet area, even though he claims he has a high rating from the health dept. Dont waste your time or money. The owner is rude and a thief. read more

This place at one time was great, now that is no more. I have been a couple times recently to the buffet. This store has 80 people waiting on pizza, the kitchen is swamped with phone orders, while the manager/owner is reeling. Patrons waiting on food, owner even arguing with hungry customers. A barren buffet, bizmal effort. Do not go here unlessyou like waiting to be fed like Oliver Twist, more please? This time I waited in line, because they make you pay in advance so they got your money and you have to wait on them to decide to feed you. Pathetic. I looked on to the abismal buffet, and thank God I just left, I was giving them one more chance, No more. read more

We were looking for the Pizza Hut experience of old and happy to say this is the taste I recall . Yum crispy thin crust, very friendly and attentive staff, clean place and hot pizza coming out constantly. Will be back. read more

We were greeted by staff way better than known chains. The atmosphere was great, felt like old school pizza getaway with the family. All pizza on the buffet line was fresh and my favorite was the pepperoni it took me back to my childhood days. Awesome salad options and will definitely return. Thumbs up to the owner and please continue to support small businesses!! Every time pizza is fresh on the line you hear the crew shout it out, what better than a place that takes you back in time to your childhood memories!! Amazing pizza place! read more

Pizza Inn - Buffet line with amazingly fresh options!! - Italian Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Took my son here today for his Birthday lunch. The pizza was very good, the buffet was continually stocked with fresh pizzas of all sorts. The salad bar was kept stocked and fresh as well. The service was friendly and professional. The atmosphere was nice. I don't know about the weekends, but the weekdays I highly recommend this location. read more

Everything we wanted and more. Pizza Inn has great cracker crust and flavorful sauce. The buffet keeps a good variety and the staff will happily make what you'd like. The salad bar is terrific too. Buffet is available all day on Saturday and Sunday. Definitely worth the drive for us! read more

Ordered ONE take out pizza. Email said better at 6:02. I arrive and finaly had to ask for my pizza at 6:30. it Was supposed to be deliver to parking lot. It was sitting there and was cold. Totally inexcusable. read more

I have been going to Pizza Inn for 30 years. The food is very good and so is the service

Service is good, staff is wonderful and a variety of pizza on the buffet, come hungry.

Must do an update from my previous review. This place has gone way down hill. Now you have to prepay. I suppose this is more a comment on the criminality in this area than the restaurant itself. But when you pay $40 for three buffets and drinks I think it would be a reasonable expectation to have pizza on the buffet. They kept bringing desserts out but not pizza. What little bit of pizza they did bring out was taco pizza. Only once in the thirty minutes we were there did they bring out a pepperoni which went as quickly as it was put down. Saturday during lunch rush you need to be pushing pizzas through the oven as fast as you can. Bring out the most popular ones and mix in some exotics. They used to make an awesome baked potato pizza. This location used to not have a problem keeping up with demand. Just a disappointing experience all the way around. Been a while since we've been in. I don't think we'll be back. read more

It's a little bit of an older location, but the buffet has been great every time I've come here. My son no longer wants to go to Cici's, because the pizza is so much better here. They have super fresh food, with multiple pizza options on frequent rotation. Their dessert options are so good too- especially the chocolate chip pizza and cinnamon stromboli. The service has been prompt and friendly. It's very much a casual family environment. I highly recommend their buffet. read more

I'm not going to lie, the pizza is the tastiest in town IF you can get it delivered correctly. I have been gravely disappointed by 1) absolutely dropping my order and not fulfilling it during my last transaction then after over 45 days when attempting again 2) I received the wrong pizza after 1 hour of wait time and it's lukewarm. I get it - they really don't want to do delivery, and I will not recommend them for it. As a matter of fact, I won't recommend them at all. read more

As soon as I paid I requested a vegetarian pizza with one of the employees at the buffet.. 25 mins pass and nothing so I went to the register and they said it was put out but I went and checked for the 5th time and nothing was there. Some other employee went back yelling about my request when she wasn't the one i spoke to initially so I don't know what she was upset about. At this point both of my kids were done eating and all I had was a salad. It wasn't worth spending $45 for for 2 adult and 1 buffet. I would 100% recommend the Murphy location as the customer service is 1000 times better and not ran by a bunch of teenagers who don't know what they're doing read more

Please listen to me. DO NOT EAT HERE. They only have 6 pizzas they serve. Please for the love of god go to cicis. This is by far the worse places I have ever eaten at. $13 buffer for only 6 pizzas and the place looks terrible. I highly recommend going to cicis. I would leave 0 stars if I could. You won't regret listening to me. read more

Pizza Inn - Only thing they serve. Don't come here please - Italian Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

We went to pizza inn and it was awesome.. The craziest one was salad pizza.. It was very good.. I love the deserts.. We will be back!!

I'm really glad that I eat my pizza with a fork. I have always been teased because I eat pizza with a fork. Well today it paid off because there was a cricket nestled in my pizza toppings. I brought it to the attention of the waitress and she was apologetic. She took it to the manager on duty whose name was Barby. The waitress came back and said the manager was sorry, but there was nothing she could dot. So I proceeded to the front counter to speak with the manager. She told me she couldn't see how that could happen. I asked her was she calling me a liar. She said I'm not saying that I just don't see how this could happen. I know people try to pull fast ones on restaurants all the time. However, myself and my family frequent this particular establishment at least 3-4 times a month as dine-in customers and a couple of times for pickup orders. I am disgusted first of all that there was a cricket mixed in with my pizza toppings and it almost made it to my mouth. Secondly, I am upset at the fact that you would not refund my money or give me some type of future credit. The waitress was extremely apologetic and said that she agreed that something should be done. As a good faith measure I gave the waitress a tip to let her know that I wasn't trying to get a free meal and to thank her for the good service she had rendered, which was very early in my dining experience because this was only my second piece of pizza. The manager told me she could not do anything and that I would have to call the store manager tomorrow morning. I would strongly encourage you to avoid this establishment. You can plainly see that the cricket was crispy and had been cooked in the oven. Pizza Inn 3003 N Galloway Ave Mesquite, TX 75150 read more

Do not be fooled, this does taste anything like the real original pizza inn. I love pizza, but I gotta say that this is the worst pizza I've had. Even the dollar store titos frozen pizza tastes better than this supposedly pizza inn. This was $16 thrown to the trash on a large pizza. read more

After numerous successful orders from this location I made a mistake and had to cancel my order. The Pizza Inn email gave the number to cancel or change order. I called to cancel and after keeping me on hold for 15 mins they proceeded to tell me they couldn't cancel it and give my money back. This has ruined every precious and future orders for me and I will never order from them again. VERY ANGRY THEY REFUSED TO FIVE MY MONEY BACK. THEY ARE DISHONEST!!!! read more

The pizza here is absolutely the best in the Dallas area. I was revisiting this place a while back and was so happy that they still matched the flavors I remembered. The cheese was sizzling hot and the sauce was just sour and tart enough to balance the savory cheese. I will admit that the salads and other sides are a bit underwhelming, hut hey, they're known for their pizza and they do not disappoint in that department. I don't know many other places that gives you the customization that Pizza Inn offers. They people there are very accommodating. If they can just take their other sides and meals up a notch, it will be amazing. The staff was friendly and the surrounding was nice. Its a great place to eat out with the family. read more

Love the Mesquite location. The pizza is always consistently good. The people are really nice.

Came for an old school buffet on Father's Day. The restaurant was crowded but there were still tables in the back section. We were refused service because "they didn't have dishes" but there were a stack of clean dishes on the buffet" she said it was the managers decision to not serve more people. Sounded like laziness not wanting to deal with a crowded dining room and having to keep up with demand. Buffet full of food. Clean dishes waiting for be used and paying customers being refused service. Sad display of customer service or late thereof. Lost long time customers today. read more

Pizza Inn - Taco pizza - Italian Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

Clean and very friendly staff! Food is hot and delicious. My family will definitely be back!!

Halotus and I pine for the old school pizza joints... dark wood, red checkered table clothes, red plastic drink cups, red glass votives on the tables and... the juke box! Those days are gone... but we can still find the taste at the Pizza Inn/Live Oak and here at Pizza Inn/Mesquite. The decor isn't what it once was but the pizza is what brings us back. The Mesquite location is very clean, has Covid protocols DOWN so that guests can enjoy the pizza buffet and salad bar. We were warmly greeted and thanked for making the drive from Allen. The staff was friendly, professional and efficient. If you are a fan of Pizza Inn, please give this location your business. Mangia! read more

The owner is a disgusting person who does not care to make things better for his clients. He's rude af! I was upset, rightfully so because I waited for a request for more than 15 min! Not even a sorry , all he said was "it's gonna come out soon we can't go back to the future" dumb and rude. Save your time and go to Cicis. It's also outdated in there. Do not recommend! read more

Had lunch Buffet. I was considering not going because of poor reviews but did go and enjoyed it very much. Pizzas were brought out consistently, salad bar was fresh with lots of variety availability. Had pasta and desert items. All was fresh, well maintained clean. I'll be going back to enjoy with my family again! read more

I placed an order Thursday Jan 5th at 3:30PM. After 4 I got an updated notice that my order would be delivered at:47 instead of 4:30 as requested. At 4:52 I get a notice the driver is nearing my house. At 5Pm I called the store as my pizza had not arrived. I was informed that the servie confirmed the wrong order but that now my order would not be delivered for another hour. I told the mgr on duty to then cancel the order and refund me. He tried to claim the order was processed through door dash, but my receipt and emails all came from Pizza Inn, not DD. He told me then he would call me back and confirm my refund. Todate, my refund of $46 has not posted. You do not want to order from this very crooked business. Let them go out of biz. This re always Pizza Hutt, Dominos and Papa John. Never had issues with them. read more

The owner is a pure asshole that need to go back wherever he from! I ordered takeout for my kids after a long day. They stayed up just to eat only to call after an hour of not getting my pizza delivered. At the time of purchase the guy said it would be 45-55 mins so I didn't think anything of it. When I called the owner answered and not only was he rude he advised that they had it as a carry out not a delivery and said they were closed. This is after I have paid and everything. We ended up having to go to McDonald's. I use to come here all the time and even enjoyed the buffet but I will NOT be back and I highly encourage you all to get pizza anywhere but here! Customer service is everything especially when you are spending your hard earned money! They don't deserve 1star but I had to choose 1just to post this review. read more

If you want their pizza, especially an hour before closing time, you might have better luck going in person and ordering on-site. Because you're not getting through to anyone over the phone. Proabably because they've already left for the day (which means scratch the idea of going in person.) Their buffet opens at 8:00pm so they probably lose all interest in helping anyone afterwards. Their hold recording also offers a wide array of semi-useful information that you will hear over and over again including the option to visit their website and order on-line. It is an option you can try. But you will not succeed. A message will appear stating they are currently not taking orders. Which would make sense if they closed at 8:00pm. But they state they close at 9:00pm. They seem to have embraced a zero-f**ks-to-give work ethic. And judging by the reviews left by other people here, they are sticking to this philosophy. I imagine they enjoy it. You can see the Dunning-Kruger effect in full force with the manager's attitude. Leave hope at the door. You're dumb. They're not, and they have better things to do like watch Tiger King and eat Cheetos. This place used to be so much better. You can try another Pizza Inn. But I fear the work ethic of this place might have spread to the other franchisees. read more

I would have tried but they just looked at me like if I was dumb didn't say anything to me like if I'm ready to order or try to help me it was my first time there as well read more

Great staff, great service, food was your average pizza inn fare. Everything I had was really good. Salad bar was fresh. The place was clean as well. They even made me fresh pizza and brought it to my table. This is always a go to for me and my fam. read more

Don't know how many times I've ordered and my order has been wrong. I've gotten the wrong pizzas, missing items or wrong size of pizza delivered. It's more of a surprise if the order is correct. The only upside is the delivery guys are pretty nice but at this point, I'm tired of my orders always being wrong. read more

Something seemed off at this last visit. I can't pin it on ingredients or just the way the pizzas were cooked. This restaurant is in a gas station. It was pretty good, however so many pizzas were cold as they are just sitting out there waiting on the buffet people to grab them up. We came here at 12 noon during the week. The salad was a few days old. This pizza chain is a dying breed and I am glad to find one that is still open. I just hope that I was wrong with this review and it was just an off day. I just don't live near here but I think it's decent food they are serving. read more

I ordered through Postmates Ive been going to this restaurant my whole life. I was highly disappointed because I ordered a pizza and a salad and didn't receive the salad. When I called the restaurant upset the manager was completely respectful and understanding. She sent a driver to bring me my salad and on top of that brought a half gallon of tea that was not ordered to apologize. Great customer service I couldn't ask for anything better. read more
