The one near us in Northern VA is not bad. It's clean, it's cheap, & it's simple. Our family are more adventurous eaters and usually do a lot of Thai, Indian, sushi, that sort of thing, but when we want something simple, inexpensive, and Fast when we are out runing errands, this it one of the places we go. I like the more adventurous pizzas and the make your own salad.

My bf and I decided to check out the one in Plymouth, Minnesota it was horrible the food was luke warm and tasted like crap. The employees were not the nicest, and the restaurant didint look that clean. The pizza tasted like it was frozen from a grocery store. They had a dessert pizza it was dry and cold. The salad they had already had a dressing on it which was dissapointing because you dont really have a choice to pick the dressing you want or if you want it at all, and it made the salad mushy.

I was expecting some thing totally different. Maybe its better else where but I will never go again.

I go to the cici's in coral springs Florida and its fantastic. Though the food may not be of the highest quality, it is still great. The staff is really nice and helpfull and the place is clean. unlike what other people say you wont find any roaches or rats here. Its cheap and i love going. I also enjoy how they greet me when i walk in and leave.

I think that a lot of the problems people mention in their reviews are directly related to crappy franchise owners/restaurant managers. This happens with any restaurant chain. You'll find good McDonald's, and bad McDonald's. Same with CiCi's.

That being said, I enjoy the CiCi's Pizza in Lafayette, IN. I've been there many times, and it's always a great experience. I've never entered the place without being greeted by an employee. It's usually the manager who does it. The employees are usually actively friendly, in that they say "hello" and are very happy to help. The managers have even gone so far as to come talk to us at the table for a minute or two.

Regarding food quality: It's not the highest quality pizza. But look at how much you're paying in relation to other pizza places. You can't realistically expect the world's best pizza for the price you pay. It's currently $5.49 where I eat, and I think it's a great deal. If you don't like the selection on the buffet, you can request a specific pizza and it'll go right in the oven. I did that just yesterday, and had a pepperoni and jalapeno pizza in just a few minutes. True, the toppings are a bit skimpy sometimes. But again, look at how much you're paying. For the price, the food is just fine.

I've yet to see anything in regards to cleanliness that has disturbed me. Some reviewers have mentioned the table bussers constantly roaming about, cleaning off tables. It's a pizza buffet, and the plates pile up QUICKLY! They have to be out there picking up dishes constantly. This isn't a fine dining experience, so don't expect the things that go along with such a restaurant.

Bottom line: It's a cheaply priced pizza buffet. You know that before you walk through the doors. For my money, I don't think it can be beat.

Some of my particular favorites: BBQ chicken pizza, pepperoni and jalapeno, buffalo chicken pizza, the garlic cheese bread, the cinnamon rolls, the spinach alfredo...

horrible....(!!!)

Decatur Alabama~ This CiCi's pizza was really good up until recently. They have decided to go to the "new Cici's" it sucks!!! There is nothing different really about the buffet except for they make your salad now and you have to pick out what you don't want. And they don't have their signature cheese bread anymore, its just like garlic bread sticks. Yuck! Not to mention the fact that you have to pay for the drink of a 2 year old. We use to really enjoy our occassional visits to CiCi's in Decatur, but I don't foresee us returning regulary as before. Also, the manager there seems to be a dickhead and not care about his customers. While the Asst Manager is all about customer satisfaction and we really like him. I would recommend Pizza Hut over this CiCi's Pizza now.

I worked at CiCi's Pizza for a couple of years. Here is the down low.

1. We have a DM that comes in around the middle of the month, we never know who it is. If you want good service come in around the beggining of the month when they actually care.
2. Everything is hand made, which means that the tired over worked employees don't care about it. They screw it up and let it go. If it was "canned" it would taste better. We had a thing called volume, which means we work say 8am-V, this means sometimes we have to work a 16 hour shift of get fired.
3. Get your pizza made fresh for you. That means have them make it and bring it to your table. I remember they would let pizza sit there for hours and hours. That dough gets pretty hard after a while.
4. Check your glass, the dishers are annoying about actually checking to see if they are clean. Also make sure that your glass does not come off the bottom of the bin, that thing has mold down there.
5. Don't waste the money, do not pay 7-10$ a person to go in, eat around a bunch of screaming kids in a dirty, and believe me its dirty, restaurant. If you do not believe me its dirty, take your fingernail and scrape across the wood on the back of your bench. That would be oil and mold my friend.

Oh and there are some CiCi's managers posing here. So watch out for those vicious "5 star" ratings. Its almost a pyramid scheme how it works.The best rated restaurant gets money and a cruise advertising a and such.

To rate as one of the best. The food does not have to be good. The only thing that has to be good is how loud they say. "Hi, Welcome to CiCi's" and "CiCi Ya Later".

Trust me, not a good place to go.

My husband and I went to the NEW CICI'S in Zephyrhills Fla.What a hot mess!!!Itook 4 trips to what they called a salad and pizza bar to end up with 2 slices of pizza.My husband who eats everything had a plate of pizza with 1 bite gone and even he said the pizza tasted like !!!!.as he threw all of it away,So we paid 15 dollars for a small plate of lettuce!not a good value for our buck we will be going back to hungry howies we pay about a buck more but at least we dont come home and end up eating a sandwich for dinner

We visited the CiCis in Denbiegh Newport News,Va. We really enjoyed our experience thanks to Linda Rutherford. She let us try just about every kind of pizza you make, she would deliver a couple of slices to our table, whenever we asked about a certain type. Really enjoyed the vegetableovers pizza with the white sauce. Also my grandaughter loved the buffalo chinken and the macaroni and cheese pizza. We allreally liked your apple crumb pizza. Hope that sometime soon that you consider bringing a franchise to Maine. This was a very pleasnt and wonderful experience for us all. MY daughter and grandaughter asked if there was anything they could take home for a souvenier and Linda went out of her way to get them a couple of outdated posters to take home. She is a real asset to your establishment.

I recently went to a Cici's in Pennsylvania. I'm native to New York, and after seeing the commercials repeatedly every day (although there is none near us) I was looking forward to going there. What a disappointment! The pizza was horrible, and none of the pizzas were even labeled! There was one thing of pasta and it looked and tasted like it had sat there for quite awhile! The food was NOT fresh or even labeled. The pizza was like carboard, it was terrible!

Cicis is the best food ever i dn if they put drugs in the food to make me like it sooooo much but i love it and i will eat there everyday!

I will get straight to the point,
1.The salad was limp, dressing tasteless.
2.The five pizzas all tasted the same.
3.The brownies were unevenly cooked.
4.The cinnamon rolls taste like those that come from the supermarket in a can, they just add sugar and cinnamon on top.
5.The drink station was dirty.
My family and I believe we have properly renamed this establishment to "Caca's Pizza."
All this coming from a 13 yr old who loves pizza. Oh, almost forgot, the one star is for the jokes/laughs my family got out of this ridiculous pizza place!!

My husband and I have ate at four different CiCi's locations on numerous occasions and we both like the restaurants very much.  All of the employees have been extra nice.  The dining area and restrooms have been clean.  They have all had a terrific salad bar, small pasta selection,  great bread sticks, large variety of pretty good pizza,  three different tasty dessert selections, and free refills on the drinks.   It is very hard to beat all this for about $6 per person for all the food you can eat.   The pizza is not the very best but it is good.   It is tasty and I like being able to select from ten or more varieties when choosing the slices of pizza I want.  I especially like the spinach and barbecue pizza with barbecue being the favorite for both my husband and I.  Most of the pizza is not as greasy and unhealthy as other pizzas.  We have never ate anything at Cici's that was not fresh.  The only things we have experienced that we do not like is noise and sometimes they bus the tables while you are eating.  Once an employee reached over my plate while I was eating to get a salad plate from the table.  I think that was a problem with the employee and not the restaurant though.  Also, there is a small game room in the back of the dining area, a couple of TV's, music, and everyone talking at the same time which sometimes can get a little too noisy.  Overall though I like CiCi's food and restaurant and that is not even considering the value which is excellent.  I would recommend the four locations I have visited to friends and family.

I think All locations of corse are different its not cicis that is bad its who runs it and the employees. Everyone will find something they dont like and others that do its just a matter of openions and they all will be different my exp was great I visited the one in Diberville MS and its nice bath rooms clean, Fresh hot food always being replaced when empty. Salad bar was fresh and people were great! and by the way majorty of restraunts have bagged food such as dressings and sauce big deal thats how we buy it from the store to eat at home!!!

this dump (not restaurant) is the nastiest garbage i have ever eaten in my life...their commercials lie when they say there food it fresh, the keep the place clean, and they smile ad greet their costomers...and most of all how they say that "we think its strange that people think its strange"....people dont think its strange becasue you made all of that up....their pasta sauce comes out of a bag!!!i give this place a -20...but the least is 1 so whatever.

I love it I am taking my 7th grade class on a field trip there!!! All of them are excited people say it is nasty i go to the one in gardencity,middlebelt and it is delic.

One in Lincoln. BEST PLACE i have eveer been to! this friday was my first time and i will go every friday from now on! as long as those cute blondes keep doing their jobs!

I've been at Cici's Pizza in Florda I hope it's as good as Florda's pizza place!!!!!!!!

I WORK AT CICIS PIZZA IN HOMESTEAD FLORIDA AM I CAN HONESTLY SAY THE PIZZA SUX AND THE ONE IN HOMESTEAD HAS RATS WE ARE SO DISCUSTING AND THEY DONT FLIP THE SALAD DRESSINGS SO THE DRESSING AT THE TOP MAY BE GOOD AND UP TO DATE BUT NOT THE BOTTOM!!! STAY AWAY FROM THE CICIS PIZZA IN HOMESTEAD

Worst pizza ever!!!! The one in New Albany, IN is very dirty and they don't even except credit/debit cards but have an overpriced ATM machine right next to the cash register.

I went to the westland, michigan location earlier today. It was disgusting. I couldnt believe it. 50% of the stuff on the bars were gone and werent replaced in the hour i was there. The "pasta" bar was nothing more than one noodle and tomato or alfredo sauce. The only thing they had going for them was the salad bar. The pizza was atrocious. There were kids running all over, people bussing tables into huge bins, splashing dirty water all over. It was disgusting.

I have CiCi's Pizza nightmares because I was scarred for life when we were forced to eat there on all school fieldtrips because it was "economical" aka cheap. The food is definately overpriced! I was disgusted at how grody it was. If you want to know what rubber on cardboard tastes like, then I recommend it, otherwise save money for your kids therapy bill if you take them there....also bring a big shoe to kill the cockroaches running across the tables.

The service they give is very good and they great everyone with a smile. They do how ever offer far more variaty on pizza then any other place that I had been to. They also have a game room for the kids to go to even though they very little games in there. The restrooms are kept very clean and up to standards.

I entered into a location on Dec 13th, 2006 in the late afternoon with my children. I had four free buffet passes to eat with. They were for my children and I. I was approached by a gentlemen whom I learned was called Joe. Joe wanted to know where I got the coupons from and questioned me about them. There was no enjoy your meal or nothing of the sort. He then went on to tell the others not to take these coupons anymore because the managers name that was on them no longer worked for CiCi's. Anybody can come in with a coupon that they had tucked away and forgot to use. How can yu just stop taking or recieving them. He was a living asswhole and our table never got bussed while we were in the restaurant. We stacked them on the table next to ours. Basically we kept our table clear ourselves. I never want to walk into a CiCi's restaurant and see his face again. I will not eat there with him present. His very attitude was very nasty and he was a push over. I think he is a field manager for Indianapolis locations. God Bless

It's cheap. You can stuff your face. But the quality and flavor are really poor, and the food is very fattening and bad for your health. It is noise, service is bad. If you don't have money, I guess you can take your family there. Don't be surprised to see some bus load of kids arrive and mess up the place. And, don't take a date there unless you are trailer trash.

we have tried both locations in mobile, alabama. neither really impressed me,, airport loc is a cleaner than hwy 90 who got a score of 87 with the health dep,,, the place was so nasty, old towels under the prep tables, i have worked in rest where there was an open kitchen and i made sure it was clean!!! the employees was unfriendly, had attitudes, could not understand the manager, i believe there was a trainee there she was very nice but was not there very long, she looked like she was talking to a manager, then went and got her purse and left, maybe she went to another location, i hope she comes back, if she's in there when i go by, i'll stop in again. she made sure my lil girl had the pizza she like.

0 rating for this place! the table next to us left after a HUGE cockroach climbed out of their food, then the staff yelled unlindly at them as they were leaving the establishment

I found a fingernail in my food. I am never eating there again. I only went there for the apple cinnamon dessert pizzas and I found a fingernail in it. All the manager did was give me my money back. That was disgusting and insulting.

The price is great. The taste of the pizza is okay.

I don't know why they call this pizza. I'm serious. I don't even know where to begin about how low quality thier food is. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is for the price. At least you can still get your money's worth.

Oh, by the way, I should take that star back because last time I was there, I saw a damn mac & cheese pizza. NUFF SAID!

I have one of these in the strip where I work at Starbucks, I have been there a couple of times. The thing I like best about them is that they have a salad bar, but not a great salad bar, and the garlic bread rocks. The pizza is not very good even when you order it fresh to go.

aint the best, but it aint the worst either, its aight. Ya cant take it home though, thats kind of foul though mayne

I eat at a CiCi's in Oklahoma City and love it. Everytime I walk in I'm treated to an excitable bunch with an enthusicastic "WELCOME TO CICI'S". The manager always comes over and asks how I'm enjoying my visit. Their pizza may not be the best in town, but for the price and all you can eat, it's a deal you just can't beat. I will gladly go back again and again. When you leave, they are just as happy to tell you "THANKS FOR COMING TO CICI'S". It's an event everytime I go.

We had outstanding service and food.

Pretty good for a all you can eat place. You can't take pizza home though that blows!

A total pukefest

In Fayetteville, Arkansas the CiCi's pizza there is very good, cheap and clean. There have been some nights when it wasn't the cleanest (large crowds), but all in all it is very affordable and a great place to go with a family of five. For those of you that said it was awful, please take into consideration that it was that store that was bad, not the chain as a whole. A lot of your unsatisfaction largely depends on the poor managing of that particular restaurant, and that manager should be replaced.

It may be cheap, but why eat anything this fattening when it's flavorless?

I went to CiCi's Pizza In McKinney,Tx and I can't even eat the pizza because it taste very bad.Used to the price was $2.99 per person, now it cost almost $12.00 for two people.The only reason I went was because my husband wanted to,and he didn't like it much either.

I recently visited the CiCi's pizza in Beckley West Virgina, and they were very perverted and obnoxious. I felt very uncomfortable there with my small children watching every guy continuously "hitting" on me. My husband is in Iraq, and I am having a hard enough time as it is, I really didn't need this! If they want to continue their business there, they really need to hire people with some respect. And I am not the first person to have said this. When I mentioned it to another friend of mine, she was also a victom of the "CiCi's Pizza Perverts!"

I recently visited a Cici's for the first time and was horribly shocked. The restaurant was brand new...still had its "grand opening" banner hung above the entrance. The only reason why I even went was because of some coworkers. Anyways, the price is ridiculous for the quality of food they are trying to give you even if it is "all you can eat." I asked for a refund before even trying the food. The tables were unclean, I had to wipe something gross off my chair before sitting. The bus boy or girl drives a cart around with dirty dishes and uneaten food piled ungodly high right by your table while you are eating. They slosh undrunk sodas into pitchers right in front of you....it was digusting. Not to mention that I about fell due to the layer of grease that coated the tiled floors. The pizza looked and smelled unedible...digusting cheese that looked like it had been cooked three days ago and was laid out under the heat lamps until then. Very unsatisfied with the service. The manager did not even know how to give me my refund. He wanted me to write another check instead of just paying me the difference (my husband insisted on trying it so his portion we still paid for that). Did not seem to care about my obvious unhappiness with their food, service, or facilities. Never again.

I think Cici's is the best pizza around. You just have to know how to order, they will make a pizza any way you want and bring it to you. I always order the pizza with lots of extra cheese and tell them to go light on the sauce. One more tip, try dipping pizza in the white cheese sauce, they don't make much profit when I eat there as I have them pile on lots of cheese. Try ordering a pizza the way you like it and give them the details. They will soon become your favorite pizza chain too.

I went to the Mount Pleasant S.C. Cici's, it was our first to a Cici's. We found it to be very clean and service very good. The was as good if not better than most of the national chain pizza restuarants. I look forward to another visit soon.

Nothing but dough! Why would you feed your kids this garbage. Might as well go to the men's room now because you'll be in there a long time after you eat this!

I went to one of your pizza places with my husband ...he had already eaten and since it was Sunday the price was 6.99. That was alright since I live in a small town and had never tried Ci Ci's Pizza. I had seen the commercials and it seemed so friendly. I got my tray and went back to get my glass and the girl wouldnt give me one because she said I didnt pay. I explained to her that my husband paid for me and he was in the restroom right now and may I please have my glass...again she said NO you havent paid. Needless to say I left my salad and tray and went to the bathroom to wait for my husband to come out and explain. By now people were staring at me and I felt foolish. When my husband came out of the restroom we went up to the counter and she offered me a glass. I just wanted my money back I had had enough of the "good" service they offered. I live in a small town in Arkansas and went to Hot Springs, Arkansas with my husband to a meeting there. I suppose I felt so bad because I am not the type of person to not pay. I just felt so humilitated and I will never return to a Cici's Pizza place. I thought your business was a friendly place like the commercials say. I was sadly mistaken...Thank you very much...Terri Fleming

If I were rating the restaurant simply on the quality of the pizza, I would give it an average rating. That being said, the food is NOT awful. It tastes pretty good and I dont know of many places that you can feed a family of five for $20. Cicis has a variety of pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts at a price that you cant beat. This is an all-you-can eat restaurant and the food is laid out in buffet style so that you can help yourself. If you are raising a family, you will be hard-pressed to find a more economical kid-friendly restaurant. Of course, each store is different based on location and management, but, on average, this is a great place to take a family while on a strict budget and still have an enjoyable night out.

We went to just one of these - it was in Anderson, Indiana. The price was good, but that was the only good thing about it. All the pizza was cold. All of it - even what they put out new was already cold as soon as they set it out. I don't know how that was possible, but it really bothered me. The pizza slices had hardly any toppings on them. And the manager (he may have been an assistant manager - there seemed to be more than one in charge) had a terrible temper. He blew up at one of his workers and created quite a scene. I'll never go back.

We went to CiCi's in Jonesboro Arkansas tonight Aug 6 2005. First of all, the only thing on the buffet was specialty pizzas. Examples: canadian bacon and pineapple and pizza that had lettuce on it, it looked like a salad. Then there was no ice in the soda machine. The tables were so close that 2 children could not sit back to back with out hitting each other. There is no way 2 adults could sit back to back to each other. We had to move to a different table because when we went to try to find something to eat another family sat down at a table behind us and because the tables were so close we could not sit down.We have ate there several times,this was the worst visit. We will not be back,and will not recommend anyone else to go.

Clean restaurant and fresh ingredients - simple salad bar and pizza/pasta choices, but a hit with the kids, thanks to the small video arcade in the back. Friendly staff and good prices keep us coming back.
