Cicis

This restaurant had very bad service. And the food was cold. No cheese on the salad bar. Bad mangement. I will never eat here again.

Nasty food, don’t waste your money here, go to Stevie B’s instead. Noodles cold and hard. Pizza was nasty! Employees are rude and make fun of you if you have a complaint. Seriously the food was nasty!!!

This place is nasty. Dishes just piled up on the dining room tables and non the the employees where interested in cleaning them up. They just sat there for at least the 20 minutes I was actually there, attracting flies.

I recall loving Cici’s Pizza 18 years ago. The spincah alfredo pizza was the best thing I’d ever tasted back then.
Fast forward to yesterday. Just no. When I am in the mood to do this to myself, I shall find the nearest SteviB’s.
The only reason I gave two stars is because the apple pie pizza is still really tasty, and those cheesy bread squares are divine. I don’t know what else to say? The salad bar had hunks of veggies on it, not one thing was shredded, so I had a plate of iceberg lettuce with dressing since I like shredded veggies. No cheese of any type on the bar. The «pizza» on the buffet, I just can’t even comment.
You know what? This review is over.

I had seen all the commercials and we are on a budget so my boyfriend and I decided to try it out. (sent him in to check it out) he came back and said «they are bringing out fresh pizzas now!) This was at 4pm mind you! We were enthusically greeted by E. J (had to ask his name we were so impressed) he gave us the run down of all they offered and pointed out the manager and said that is Bruce if you have any questions or need anything at all! Bruce welcomed us with a smile, and as I ate I watched him work relentlessly all the while greeting every unsmiling guest and unruly child with a pleasant «welcome, hello, how are you?» His patience kindness and diligence pleasantly surprised us both and we will be back time and time again just because of them! Oh yeah and the hot fresh food they continued to supply! Thanks guys you were great! What a pleasant surprise!

So, here’s the thing…
When I was a kid I remember being retarded excited anytime I could talk my mother into taking me to CiCi’s Pizza, and when she’d actually agree I’d be geeked out and beyond stoked, all the pizza you can eat? Dessert pizza? It made my adolescent brain melt.
That was 10 years ago, thankfully my palette has changed dramatically, these days I’m more about quality over quantity.
Yesterday, wiliest running errands with my Step Mother a slow hunger creeped upon us, being that we still had a million errands to run we mutually agreed that CiCi’s would be a quick, no fuss lunch.
Wost idea ever.
While I’ll admit, a lunch for two totalling $ 14 dollars and some change is supremely cheap, however, I’m not sure if overwhelming amounts of chewy, oddly flavored pizza makes up for the lack luster dining experience.
The manager was very friendly, and offered to make any pizza we’d like to have if it wasn’t already out. The salad bar looked old and stale, and the selection of pizza wasn’t much better. I ended up grabbing a slice of cheese, a slice of what I assumed was a spinach-​y pizza, and a piece of this cheesy garlicky bread concoction. Two bites into the spinach pizza I decided to scrap it, the overwhelming after taste could not be denied.
Most of the booths and tables seemed to be covered in crumbs and watery rings from soda glasses.
Sitting in the booth I start to notice the Jesus rock streaming through the speakers, I was finally done with CiCi’s, I’m down with all kinds of music, but adult contemporary Jesus rock is not my thang, especially when I’m already enjoying such a disastrous lunch.
What was I thinking as a kid?
