Mazz’s Pizza Buffet

New to area. Tried it and cannot stand it. Same poor food and layout as the previous tenant, CiCis Pizza. They were bad and this bunch is equally poor. Save your money. There are much better pizza places in the area.

Tried to take a non-​foodie kid out to dinner. He said «anything,» and I said «Asian,» and then he said «pizza.» There was some Pizza Inn/​Mr. Jim’s/Some Pizza Buffet in a shopping center Pulled up, and realized it was closed. We were jonesin’ for pizza now, and cruised a little aimlessly. Then– Mazz’s.
Hey, that sign kinda looks like CiCis. Something about the font, and the coloring. And I kinda want CiCi’s right now. That place reminds me of CiCi’s. Maybe I should go there (following my train of thought yet?) Stepped over some pasta on the sidewalk. Just spilled pasta, not barf. That might’ve been a dealbreaker.
Buffet with just water was like $ 5 something. Already this is looking good. Oh! They got that chicken noodle soup they have at CiCi’s and… broccoli and cheese soup?! The rest of the offerings were like that: Stuff that seemed like genuine CiCi’s grub (that alfredo spinach pizza, macaroni and cheese, et al.) combined with Mazz’s creations. The kid and I theorized what happened. He thinks there are regular CiCi’s heists that keep this thing afloat. I joked it was a former CiCi’s restaurant owner (are they franchises?) I have noooo idea. Just pizza dinner talk.
A disappointment, and a caveat: Mazz’s kinda jacked up the dessert. And I’m usually a 2 – 3 plates of cinnamon rolls kinda girl. None of their stuff was edible (and again, bar low here). The bathroom is also disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. My mama used to tell me to never eat at someone’s house who has a dirty bathroom. I walked out of it feeling kinda freaked out. I probably wouldn’t have eaten here if I had stepped in there first.

Food was fresh. Restaurant was really clean. Buffet was inexpensive, and had good mixture of pizza for adults as well as the basics for the kids. Good family buffet.

I believe this location is actually in what used to be a Cici’s pizza buffet, because it’s set up exactly the same. I haven’t lived here long enough to be sure if it was a Cici’s before, though.
The food was all really good and fresh. Their pizza dough they use was a lot better than Cici’s, and it was priced about the same. Everything I tried was really yummy, and it tasted like they used better quality ingredients than Cici’s.
The only thing I would change is add more fresh ingredients to the salad bar. I was really sad that they didn’t have sliced mushrooms to add to my salad, because mushrooms are the best ever.
I’ll definitely be back, and can’t wait to take my toddler and let him have a pizza fest.
