Gatti’s Pizza

GattiTown is the BEST pizza buffet in Hattiesburg. You can’t beat the value that they offer.
The Service: First of all, the staff has always, and I do mean always, been very friendly. The hostess always greets us with a big smile, and a warm welcome. She’s extremely personable, and if I were a business owner, I’d want her to be the very first person my customers met too.
The rest of the staff is just as delightful as she is. When you get to the pizza buffet, the cook usually comes out and asks what type of pizza we want, or he’ll tell us what pizzas he has in the oven. «If you come back in 5 minutes, I’ll have a fresh bbq chicken pizza waiting for you!» he’ll say with a huge smile.
If the employees at GattiTown hate their jobs, they sure don’t show it. They’re always so happy, and friendly! I hope the managers appreciate the employees here, because they really are a step and above the typical employees that you come across in other restaurants.
The Atmosphere: Always super clean, at least in the dining areas. I’ve never stepped foot in the gaming areas. Oh and the restrooms are clean too. I think they have 3 dining areas, but I’ve always dined in the area to the left when you walk in.
The Food: All I can say is YUM! The actual salad bar has a great selection. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. I’ve gotten used to salad bars that consist of a bowl of lettuce, tomatoes, croutons, and salad dressing. GattiTown offers much more than this with their salad bar, which is nice.
The pizzas are really good. I think I’ve tried every single one that they offer, and I’ve always been happy with them. They’re always hot, cheesy, and have the perfect blend of ingredients. Yup, these pizzas make my mouth happy. Oh and I looooooooove their pizza crust!
The Price: Unbeatable. It’s around $ 16 for two adults, and that includes drinks.
So if you’re in the mood for pizza, and you’re willing to go out for it instead of having it delivered, I suggest GattiTown. It’s one of the best deals in town. :)

This is the nastiest pizza I have ever tasted. This plaza is so nasty they should just shut down the pizza oven and never turn it on again.

For once, Chuck E Cheese might actually be a better choice. That’s saying a lot. On 9÷5÷2015: The TV screen looked like a thousand poopy hands have been all over it, the bottoms of the chairs were caked with ages of dried soda gunk, half of the games didn’t work (couldn’t read cards), the ticket redemption machines were ALL down (all 4 of them), there was a time we waited up to 15 minutes for clean drinking cups to be washed, and the kitchen staff didn’t seem fond of keeping stocked on the dessert pizzas. In a word – SUCKED.

A cross between Cicis Pizza and Chuck E Cheese. Smaller pizza selection on the pizza bar than Cici’s but what they had was fresh, warm and delicious. The salad bar had great fresh spinach, green onions, cucumbers and other assorted salad ingredients. Bigger than Cici’s smaller than CEC. Only bad part of the salad bar was the watery tasteless jello. Three types of pasta, two soups and baked potatoes round out the bar.
Arcade and ambience is adequate for kids or adults… much bigger than Cici’s a bit smaller than CEC
Sitting area could use a good wipe down, especially the walls but the bathrooms were much cleaner than the Cici’s and especially CECs I’ve visited.
Worth the visit and at $ 3.99 for the buffet plus $ 1.89 for a drink, easily a better deal than either Cici or CEC.

This place sucks. Worst pizza ever. Unclean atmosphere. Some younger children may enjoy, but my two children and I didn’t. Someone needs to teach them what pizza is and how to make it. Also, mediocre selection of games and prizes. #RipOff

Yes, it was packed but it is a huge place with loads of choices. The salad bar was sparse but very fresh, which is more than I can say for any other salad bar I’ve visited in town, ever. The buffet was wonderful, especially considering the magnitude of customers. If there was a pizza we wanted NOT on the buffet, we simply inquired and within ten minutes a fresh one was presented. Indeed, it was noisy and chaotic, but what do you expect from a specialty location such as this? The staff was courteous and extremely helpful all across the board. Not being a big pizza fan personally, I found the variety excellent; I personally recommend the barbecue pizza, with chicken, red onions, and BBQ sauce instead of marinara. Divine! Also treated myself to some classic chicken noodle soup (fair) and a loaded baked potato, which I dressed myself with ingredients from the salad bar. My husband enjoyed the spaghetti very much and my son loved the macaroni and cheese. We were all pleasantly surprised with the variety of food on the buffet!
Great prices, too! My family of three all ate extremely well for under $ 30, and that’s including a $ 10 game card. Chasing around a six-​year-​old and a six-​year-​old trapped in the body of a thirty-​six-​year-​old helped me sweat off some calories.
Clearly, my whole family had a delightful time, in spite of my own skepticism. I can’t say anything for the party-​planning, as we just visited as regular diners. If you’re looking for a fun, kid-​friendly night out, Gatti Town should be an obvious first choice.

If you are planning a birthday party for your child either go elswhere or pray you get the employees that were running the birthday next door to us. The personal party hero we had was friendly enough, and at no fault of hers, part of what I paid for was the buffett for the adults.3 or 4 trips later (the buffett barely had any pizza on it and was even empty the first time people went out) I think everyone got a couple of slices. So at the time we paid we got a comment card (and yes we did say we DID NOT get a good value for our money. we bought the Platinum Package for $ 200) Oh how I wish I got this comment card after the kids went to the game room! My son and his friends had circles (balls?) painted on their cheeks, then we get to the gameroom; the kids from the other party arrive and they have all of these cool designs on their faces. The look of utter dissapointment on my sons face will forever haunt me (no facepainting is not a big deal, but for a 5yr old it is important) So, I had to try an explain that yes it was his special day too, but unfortunatly people are not treated the same in the world we live in. Thanks a lot gatti town staff for giving him that birthday gift…
