I love pizza. I mean I love pizza so much that it is part of my identity. A pizza has to be really bad for me not to like it. So, I was excited to see Cici's Pizza open up so close to me. A pizza buffet for $4.99!!! How could I not love it? And the ads on TV, where the lady gets a salad and then piles on pizza...a salad bar, too? I'm there.
There's just one problem though. No one would go with me. I couldn't go with myself. I have this thing that I don't like to go to a place with a lot of kids by myself, because I think that it makes me look like a pedophile. I bet I'm the first restaurant review to include the word, "pedophile"...another great first!! Anyway, Greg said, "There's a reason that it is only $4.99. It's crap!" I then read other reviews that said that the taco pizza is great. I whined at Greg stating how long it has been since I've had taco pizza and he caved.
Joy, oh joy! I get to step foot in the promised land that is Cici's Pizza. We get the the parking lot and Greg is starting to white-knuckle it. I pry him out of the car and ignore his protests as I enter the restaurant. First, there is no salad bar. Rather there are two pre-made salads. It turns out that the one salad that we did eat was really good, even for having Italian dressing. That, as it turns out, is the only nice thing I have to say about Cici's pizza.
They basically serve cooked dough here. The sauce is a mere suggestion of a sauce. I'm thinking that they use a flavorless red food coloring. The cheese is spotty and well they have perfected the technique of using no cheese and making it look like some cheese. What we end up having then is bread with various illusions of toppings. Yes Virginia, there is such a thing as bad pizza. My taco pizza....a myth. They never put any out, but I doubt it would have been of any different flavor.
That being said, kids are dumb and will love it. So, it is a good cheap place to take the dumb children that you might be raising.
