Cicis

Prices are acceptable but I rather pay extra if I new the restaurant will be kept clean. 8+ of employees where standing around in kitchen all talking and only 1 was cleaning tables. Soda station was filthy, and machine with out ice! Worst of all I had asked a person bringing out pizza if they can ask someone to clean soda station it literally took 15 minutes for someone to clean it, I watched him «clean it» he put dirty silverware back where the clean spoons are where customer’s grabbed and use to eat with. Hugh! Gross! I do not recomend at all they should maintain a clean facility if they have 8+ employees in on shift. Picture is post after they «clean soda station»

You get what you pay for.
I wasn’t expecting fine dining when I decided to take my nephew and three of his friend to CiCi’s. However, I was expecting a better experience then what we had. Cici’s is an all you can eat pizza, salad, soup, and pasta restaurant.
So, lets start with pizza. The pizza offerings were at best, so-​so. We requested a pizza to be made, but apparently that was not possible. Cici’s only replaces a few «standard» offerings for dine-​in eaters, and stuff crust pepperoni pizza, isnt on the list.
Moving on to the salad nar. The salad bar was freshened up frequently, which was welcomed. However, the salad bar consist of iceburg lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, olives. No cheese, no egg, no romaine.
CiCi’s offets soup and pasta on their buffet. The chicken noodle soup was all broth, no chicken, no noodles, just broth. I asked one of the servers if there was any soup that had noodles. She replied, probably not. The pasta has a choice of either Alfredo or Tomato Sauce, both were watery and tasteless.
I know CiCi’s is inexpensive, however, next time I will spend a bit more and go elsewhere. I can eat almost anything, especially at an all you can eat buffet. This time I couldnt finish a plate. I would never revisit CiCi’sand and would definitely not recommend it.

While driving through Texas last year, my wife and I stopped at a Cici’s pizza place. We’d never heard of a Cicis but went away very impressed. It was that memory that brought me to the Phoenix locatlion on N. 75^th.
For a buffet, the food was very good. I especially enjoyed the salad bar. All kinds of pizza and if they don’t have what you want then ask and they’ll make one for you. We both stuffed ourselves silly. Staff was very friendly and helpful and asked several times if we were ok. The problem is that 75^th ave is still a long way from where we live and it takes a real reason to drive that far. I found myself wishing that I knew some little kids that I could take there. They’d really enjoy it.
Place was very clean and modern. Two televisons showing Latin program and latin music was constantly playing. Neither of these items were obtrusive but does show up the fact that the guests are predominantly Spanish speaking which didn’t bother us in the least.
We enjoyed our trip there and would do so again if only CiCis would start another store closer to the center of town.

The food is pretty good although the staff could work on the cleanliness of the facility. Over all good experience.

We waited a long time for anyone to notice we were there and trying to pay for the food. There was a big group of teenage boys yelling and being rude the whole time. Food was below average. You’re better off ordering a pizza.

Awesome Cici’s location! I live in east Mesa and have tried my best to make the location on Gilbert work, but it’s just a crappy Cici’s. I started driving the 30 miles to the location from the east valley and will never go back. The staff is so friendly. Reminds me of the Cici’s I grew up. The buffet is always fresh and resembles pizza, not the slapped together mess from the Gilbert location.
This location is where it’s at. If you’re far it’s worth the drive for a «quality» Cici’s experience.

Love there pizza. Just not a place to bring the children. The only pizza I could while pregnant. (because it’s thin)

They have decent pizza and wings. I’ve been here on two occasions and everything was good. Today when we went in to go pay using gift cards we received, they didn’t accept them as payment. We drove a long way to come here and was a waste of our time and gas. Will never come here again!

The food is decent for the money and they keep the pizza going. The eating area is pretty clean but the bathrooms are fairly messy and run down. My biggest complaint is that the video games are not well maintained and they do not reimburse if the machines take your money (and they usually do). Also, it can get pretty noisy.

Huge disappointment. Below average food.
With litle extra money I would probably go to a better buffet. Will not return.

For what it was, a $ 5.59 all you can eat restaurant (roughly $ 8 with a drink and taxes), it was acceptable. Customer base is what you would expect for a low cost restaurant of this sort. Small game room, tons of kids running around too.
Food was OK. There was a salad bar with the basics. There was pasta, pizza, and some sweets. I saw a guy literally take a whole pizza to his table.
I would have assumed that with all the pictures of dirty dishes piling up that people have posted, restaurant management would have taken more effort to minimize that. They did not. There was one guy busing tables, and he wasn’t doing it quickly. There were fresh pizzas coming out every few minutes, so at least some people were working hard, but I also noticed a lot of employees often chatting with customers instead of working.
So I will probably not ever be bringing a date here, but if I’m really hungry before 9PM, I might consider going to CiCi’s again.

All the soda flavors are flat. The Pizza is good for the money. The salad bar is good. Try the house dressing in the yellow top container, it tastes just like olive gardens. Saw a small unattended kid though … He was picking up the small tomatoes, sucking on them, then blowing them back into the salad, seriously. Can get loud at times. But like I said, all the soda’s are flat. They were flat about a month ago too. I asked the manager, they went and checked something and said everything is working OK. So don’t say I warned you. Unless they finally made a change, go for the water.

I enjoy CiCi’s Pizza. They don’t have the highest quality pizza or anything, but it’s all-​you-​can-​eat and when you get it fresh, it’s good! And their desserts are scrumptious. They’ve got cinnamon rolls, Bavarian dessert pizza, apple dessert pizza, and brownies. For the pizza I tend to stick with pepperoni and cheese varieties. Sometimes they don’t put sauce on them so I like to dip in marinara sauce. The thin crust pepperoni is one of the best. Today they also had cheesy (not just garlic) breadsticks and mac & cheese alongside the marinara and alfredo sauces. It was a very weak cheese sauce and cold though. The unsweetened iced tea was very good today. You can also request specialty pizzas and my boyfriend asked for a BBQ pizza and I asked for a mac & cheese pizza. They brought us whole «individual» sized pizzas! We were only able to eat half of each and didn’t want to waste the leftovers. I figured since you can buy pizzas to go there, we asked if we could pay to take our pizza home. They allowed it for a minimal charge. :)

Cici’s great food great bargain. Every time we go the staff is great and on top of everything. Place is clean and fun.

Still going there and it’s a great bargain for great pizza. If they don’t have the pizza that you want out on the buffet, just ask the staff and they will cook it up for you and bring it out to the table. Overall the staff are very nice considering the stress factor that they have to deal with from some customers with poor manners. Figure on 7 bucks for lunch pizza and soda.

CiCi’s Pizza is a true bargain. I’m not going to say that this is anywhere close to my favorite pizza, because it is far from it, but having said that it is much better than you would expect for the price. When we went the pizza was good and fresh. Even the desserts were tasty, which is rare for a buffet. If you are a really big pizza eater like me you will have a hard time finding a better value than this. I plan on visiting more!

Pizza is very thin. Nothing special about the taste. The crust is a bit too doughy. I’m picky when it comes to my pizza but I did enjoy the cheap price. Too bad you can taste it too.

The most disgusting «restaurant» I’ve ever been to. Apparently there are no health inspectors in Glendale. See my photos got more info.

This 5-​star review is based on overall experience, as opposed to culinary «deliciousness», although the pizza was pretty good!
My 4^th graders and I recently took our yearly field trip to this location as part of our «Fractions Unit». When we arrived, the staff was completely ready to go, despite the fact that they were swamped making the pizza orders for the local high school. The general manager himself happily greeted my students, took them on a personal tour of the location, and answered all their questions with patience and a smile on his face. Everything was clean, organized, and everyone was very accommodating!
In regards to the food, everything was fresh, hot and tasted great! The students were all allowed to decorate their own pizzas, and the staff encouraged them to be creative with their pepperoni designs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I know the kids and I both had a great time!

As far as pizza goes, Cici’s is fair. The 5 stars is for the treatment my 4^th grade students received when we went there on a field trip.
You may be asking yourself…“A field trip? To Cici’s Pizza?” Why yes! It’s all about FRACTIONS! This is our yearly field trip to close out our unit on fractions. The kids pay $ 3.00 and they get a fairly good sized pizza (I think it’s their medium) and a drink. They also get a tour of the kitchen.
When they finish their tour, they are allowed to build their own pizza. They can put pepperoni’s on their pizza however they would like. They were kind enough to accommodate my student who is a vegetarian and gave her a few veggie options to choose from. I also asked them to cut each pizza into different fractional parts… some were cut into 6, 8, or 10 pieces. Each kiddo had to then calculate how much pizza they had eaten and other fun stuff!
Now for the 5 stars… the staff! They were SOOOOOOOOO friendly and were eager to share their jobs with my kids. They encouraged them to ask questions and were just plain awesome! My kids and I (and our parent chaperones) had an amazing time. The pizza was delicious, as the teacher, I got to make my own… looked horrible, but tasted delicious!
Thank you to the staff at Cici’s for making our field trip so much fun! We had an educational experience but also really had a blast!
Thanks!
