Pizza & Pasta Buffet

After standing in line for over 30 minutes at the roller coaster directly behind this location I was convinced we needed to stop in and eat! The garlic smell outside was amazing. The price wasn’t bad for all you can eat and drink. The pizzas were good, but I did not care for the pastas. I really liked the meat lover and philly cheese pizzas. The kids were pleased with the pizza. After 3:00 pm kids eat free, but we were staving and couldn’t wait to catch that deal, maybe next time.

What a hidden gem! Quality fresh ingredients and only $ 16.99 per person drink included! I loved everything here not one single thing disappointed. We did not want to stuff ourselves silly because it is all carbs of course but we did enjoy what we had.

How can you go wrong with pizza & pasta, right?!
The positive:
It’s a good place for kids.
The pizzas are okay and the Mac N Cheese will please those little ones appetite.
For adults, they have a salad bar with a nice selection of items to choose from.
They make their own pasta.
Pricing was reasonable. Adults for $ 17 & kids for $ 10. This includes the unlimited drinks as well.
What I didn’t like:
The worst Bolognese pasta I’ve ever had I had to spit out the first bite I had. Wifey tried it too and she couldn’t eat it.. I hope it was a bad batch. The meat tasted bad (was that a meat substitute?) not good eats.
The pasta salad was very bland.
Ambiance:
It’s very nice and clean. Lots of booths for the family to enjoy their meal.
All in all, this is a good option for meals inside Legoland, specially for kids =)

We are pass holders who decided to try this place on a whim. Our minds were blown! All the food is made in the restaurant according to the chef and you can taste the quality. Especially tasty are the pastas. Definitely recommend this place as a new favorite in the park. I have a feeling me and my mom are gonna be coming here more often!

Surprisingly, for amusement park food, this actually was worth the $ 16.99 at Legoland…
My girlfriend’s sister Terri hadn’t had breakfast and was rather hungry by the time she arrived at the park, so she asked one of the workers where the best place to grab a meal was. He told her that the Pizza and Pasta Buffet had some of the best food, and when he said «all you can eat,» we were sold.
Granted, there could be more varieties of pizza offered (pepperoni, cheese, vegetarian, Hawaiian, and meat lovers were on the buffet — and that was it), there could be more offerings on the pasta line than mac & cheese, spaghetti, and rigatoni and meat sauce, and the salad line could definitely use a lot more… but I was surprised at how good the pizza and pastas were. The sauces were gourmet quality (I believe they were made in house), and the crust on the pan pizzas were quite crispy. Plus, let’s face it, the Pizza and Pasta Buffet is made for families, and with picky eaters, this would be perfect for them.
Too bad the juice bar wasn’t working when we went (which would’ve come in handy with my cold), and there aren’t any desserts offered (really, Legoland? This place is perfect for a dessert bar!)… but for an amusement park, this restaurant will surprise you.

This place was OK. The employees are very nice and attentive. My brother and I came here with our kids so there were 8 of us and we sat outside. The waiter made sure that he came outside to make sure that we got what we needed.
My kids loved the pizza. They had everything from pepperoni to hawaiian style. The crust wasn’t that thin but it was still OK. The pasta and salad selection was OK too. This is definitely a good place to go for lots of food if you still need to stay in the park.

Buffet style, food is great for theme park. Kids under 3 eat free, kinda pricey. Gave 4 stars cause I could not find the parmigiana cheese

Good pizza buffet in the park. Nice place to sit down and rest your feet for lunch. I was glad we found a good pizza spot that doesn’t taste like cardboard.
It’s $ 17 per adult and $ 10 for kids. Kinda pricey but that includes drink too, so at least they throw that in.
Definitely happy with this place and recommend for those looking for good place to eat and sit.

This buffet was surprisingly ok for an amusement park, I’d eat here again on my next visit. I was starting to get hangry and the other options didn’t sound too good: hot dogs, BBQ (at Legoland?!), or burgers. I looked over my fellow Unilocalers reviews and they were mostly positive, so lil dude and I headed over.
You pay before you enter, it’s $ 16.95 for adults and $ 9.95 for children. You can refill your Legoland cups as many times as you want, including before you leave. I saw many families take advantage of this. On my receipt there was some kind of deal for free chocolate if you bought some at some store. I wasn’t interested though.
The salad bar is really the best thing here. They have freshly prepared salads, and all the items are actually fresh and tasty. They had a surprising variety of items there as well. They had different oils and vinegars for the salads as well as seasonings for people who don’t use the already prepared dressings.
There was a pretty large variety of pizzas as well. And they also had bread sticks. They had bolognese pasta and mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was not good. It tasted weird. If my son won’t eat it, there’s something wrong with it. The bolognese pasta wasn’t bad though.
The service was good. Everyone was friendly, as they are everywhere in the park. The bathrooms were clean. In women’s bathroom they even had pads and tampons in a little basket by the sink, a thoughtful touch.

Had my 6^th bday party for my son. The food was decent. Kids love it! The service was also very good. The birthday ice cream they gave you was pretty big. Overall great experience!

Unless your kids eat a lot don’t go here. Paid 30.00 for my 3 kids to eat 1 slice of pizza and Mac and cheese. It was really a rip off. The quality and selection wasn’t that great.

Normally I’d say eating a pizza buffet in a theme park is a terrible idea for two reasons:
1) theme park food is traditionally awful, so there’s no point in eating any more than you have to
And
2) it’s a horrible idea to get stuffed and then ride thrill rides
But this is Legoland… The food seems to be decent at most places, and there aren’t really any thrill rides to speak of.
This place is way better than I could have imagined it would be when my family took a place in the buffet line against my usually better judgment.
While not amazing, this pizza was actually quite good. The buffet is constantly maintained with hot, fresh pizzas coming in all the time. Pizzas are all deep dish, decently crisp crust with plenty of mozzarella.
The pasta is okay but the garlic bread is fantastic, served warm and fluffy with actual garlic on it.
The salad bar isn’t huge, but the veggies on it all seem to be fresh and colorful.
Make sure you take advantage of that drink included with your meal. I wore that drink station out, with theme park drink prices being what they are.
This place can get really crowded and the interior dining room is often loud and overwhelming. I recommend sitting out on the patio. It takes you a bit longer to get back inside for another trip to the buffet, but at least it’s peaceful.

For a theme park buffet, this was much better than expected. I’m impressed by the price, quality and selection of everything. Payed around $ 17 per adult. Ingredient selections are enough to make an impressive salad, there are about 5 different types of pasta, and maybe 5 types of pizza. Pizza was very good, much better than what you would typically find at a theme park. The part that I enjoyed the most is that it is priced as a regular restaurant without the premium price you find in theme parks. I really appreciate the accessible cost. A pizza at Disneyland will cost you around $ 20 by itself, no drink, salad, pasta, anything.

I’m not sure how much better a pizza buffet in a park could have been. Enough salad toppings to make an actually very luxurious salad, oils and vinegars and all. Kid friendly pizza, along with a pesto and roasted veggie pizza. The staff was very friendly, quick to clean the tables so more could come in. The line was long, but moved really quickly. $ 16.99 for adults, and after 5pm, kids eat free for now! We left the park full, and happy! Also, the waiter brought out this awesome giant birthday set up for a photo op for my son!

For starters we did arrive an hour before the parked closed so I don’t know if that affected the selection or not. We arrived at 7pm and since they were running a promotion kids eat for free after 5pm with each paid adult. It’s a great deal for a theme park. They do seat you but give you option for indoor or outdoor seating. There were about 5 – 6 different pizza options with cheese and pepperoni being a couple of the kid favorite choices. They also had a Hawaiian, meat lovers, veggie, and something with pesto on it too. The salad bar was small but still had all the basics including two types of lettuce and all the fixings. They also had great garlic bread and some cold salads. The drinks were refillable and we were able to refill our large cup that we purchased earlier in the day too. Overall pretty good and a great deal with the kids eat free special for a theme park.

As amusement park restaurants go, this place is quite alright in terms of price and taste.
There is a good variety of choices in the pizza; it is pan-​style pizza, so think Pizza Hut if that helps. The pasta choices, though limited to a few, were tasty. The salad bar is simple but enough options to make a decent salad to offset the pizza and pasta.
Drinks are included and younger kids eat free. Hurrah! I do think that a dessert option would have been nice. Even a soft serve or a chocolate pizza would cap off the meal nicely.
Staff was attentive, clearing plates to make room for more food, and also keeping the pans of pizza and bowls of pasta full on the buffet table. If you’ve the appetite and/​or craving, this is the place to satisfy your hunger.

This is our go to spot for lunch every time we visit Legoland. The food is good in comparison to other buffets, and with our season pass discount, the prices are more than fair.
The name isn’t the most creative one in the world, but is accurate. They do have some salad options, but if you are looking for anything other than pizza and pasta, this isn’t the place for you. If they offered some dessert options (chocolate pizza perhaps? or even a soft serve/​froyo machine), I would probably bump them up a star.
The staff is always friendly and the place always looks clean (bathroom included). I would definitely recommend them to any season pass holder looking for a decent tasting, cheap dining option while visiting Legoland.

Legoland is currently offering a kids eat free for dinner special at certain restaurants. We decided to go to Pizza and Pasta Buffet because that gave us more bang for our buck! It I’d quite pricey without the discount (you’re looking at $ 70 northward for a family of 4. However with the discount, it was a more palatable $ 30+.
There’s actually two buffet tables serving the same pizzas but people tend to gravitate toward the table near the front door. For the best selection, go to the back table.
They had all sorts of pizza: pepperoni, meat lovers, cheese, veggie, Hawaiian and shrimp salad. Pizzas are hot and fresh. Shrimp salad pizza was not good. Stay away from that one. Word of warning, there will be a sheen of grease on the bottom of the plate so eat carefully!
Salad bar was great! Lots of things to choose from. Peas were canned instead of frozen because of the sickly yellow/​green color and that horrid canned taste. Use frozen peas, please!
All you can drink soda and juice. The other place we went to for lunch wanted to sell us juice for a higher price but here you get the juice in the deal. Fill up your water bottles here, folks!
Service is fast and friendly. They kept the long lines, of people waiting to come in, moving

Legoland restaurant
This place is definitely the place to take your kids. Sit outside so the kids can run around and go crazy. Adults are $ 15.95, kids $ 9.95 for all you can eat pizza, pasta and salad bar. The pizza here is really good — great crust, lots of topping choices. Pasta is also tasty and filling, but what’s surprising is how varied the salad bar choices are. They even have beets, sesame seeds and golden raisins. And not just a good variety of green salad options but also some gourmet salads. I was rationalizing all the pizza I was eating by alternating a big plate of salad. It was a system that really worked for me!

The pizza was pretty good, better than 80% of pizza buffet pizza. The cheese was plentiful and very good. The downside was that the toppings were pretty sparse, they offered no dessert options, and they only had about 5 – 6 different types of pizza.
