Gatti’s Pizza

I had never heard of this place and was just driving home to West Lafayette from French Lick and it happened to be there when it was time to eat. I thought it was a local joint. It certainly felt local and one-​of-​a-​kind. I just googled and there appears to be about 65 of them. I am impressed that a chain restaurant had such a homey, old-​time feel.
First, the staff was pleasant and friendly from start to finish. They offered to make a pizza on-​demand to put on the buffet. Very nice. I was there with a 5÷3÷1 year old and my wife. This place is PERFECT for kids. They have plain spaghetti at the pizza bar and macaroni and cheese, and cheesy bread and meat sauce for the spaghetti. The pizzas are replaced relatively quickly. The pizza style was sort of thin pan pizza if that makes sense. I really liked it, but my wife was a little more ambivalent about the pizza. All side dishes were excellent. Cheesy bread was outstanding… which is why it kept disappearing from the buffet instantly.
The salad bar was basically perfect. They included normal vegetables, but also pizza topping like pepperonis. Nice touch. Also they had sunflower seeds and goldfish which are also very nice touches when you have kids. Kids also liked the broccoli chunks.
It only cost something like $ 8 for an adult buffet with a soft drink. Kids over 2 were maybe $ 4. Great prices.
The restaurant feels old-​timey to a degree and it’s very cool. There was a Ms. Pac-​Man, a couple other video games, a couple crane machines… my kids loved it, I loved it and I would be happy to stop in again if I ever travel that route again.

If your looking for average or below average food a fairly cheap price then go for it. This is a buffet style pizza place that never had pizza out. Every time they brought one out you had to be quick cause everyone was waiting on it. The taste was average at best. I won’t be returning but have it.

We used to go to the Gatti’s in Louisville on a regular basis for good buffet pizza. We found this one in Martinsville and thought we would give it a go. Food was what was expected for Gatti’s pizza, but their selection was limited on the buffet. the salad bar was very good with a large varieties of toppings. Good place to go for pizza and salad buffet.

I think their slogan now is «Gettin’ Together over Gatti’s» or something like that. It used to be something like «The Best Pizza in Town… Honest,» and boy was that true for me. Actually, I do think you can still see that slogan in places so I guess it hasn’t been completely replaced.
While their pizza is incredible, I think the best thing they make is the cheese bread. The pizza sauce you can dip it in is amazing as well. I also like their regular breadsticks with their cheese dip.
One item on their menu that I don’t think came around until a few years ago is the pepperoni roll. It is very similar to the stuffed pizza roller from Pizza Hut, but it tastes so much better than PH in my opinion.
I’d heartily recommend this restaurant over any other if you’re looking for pizza.

I like Gatti’s. It’s a good place to eat, the buffet is always stocked and they’ll even make you something at request. I love the cheese sticks and the BBQ chicken pizza. I also love the Boston crème dessert pizza. Like I said, it’s good. Always crowded, and while there is no wait staff, there is a dining room attendant who walks around and clears off plates and offers refills.
You should try it. It’s no Ci Ci’s, but hey.

As others have said, this place is a part of my childhood. I come here when I crave two things: nostalgia and cheesy bread. They have the best cheesy bread known to man.
Sure, there is something inherently gross about Mr. Gatti’s. Not necessarily this particular Mr. Gatti’s, or really any particular Mr. Gatti’s, but just the idea of a pizza buffet in general as a concept. There are usually a lot of fat people (like honestly obese people) that are attracted to places like this. I don’t mean this to be disrespectful or mocking, its simply a fact. There will be gluttonous people at a pizza buffet, almost guaranteed. It’s not going to make you feel good about yourself, I will tell you that much. I liken it to visiting a KFC Buffet, which although humiliatingly gluttonous, is still all you can eat KFC and that is totally amazing.
I try to limit my Gatti’s intake to four times a year, max: two carry outs of cheesy bread and two buffet visits. We went after sledding down the big hill behind Martinsville high school last year a few days after Christmas for a pitcher of beer and a couple of trips to the buffet line. Did I feel great about it before, during, or afterward? No. Was it an amazing experience? Yes. WIll I do it again? You bet your ass.

Great family restraunt. If they don’t have the pizza you want, get some salad and come back to the buffet in 5 minutes.

My favorite pizza of all time! I live in Los Angeles and fly back just to get two extra large cheese pizzas. I have been going here for years and you still see the same faces. If the owners would like to set up a sister shop in Los Angeles, I will let you set it up in my garage — rent free. Not joking. You just have to give me all the free extra large cheese pizzas I want… and my friends too… but they hate this place so it will probably just be me. Think about it.

I’ve been to some Mr Gatti’s restaurants that are more like circuses but this one is pretty normal. Actually I would go as far as saying that this is the best pizza place in Martinsville and the only pizza buffet as far as I know.
