Circus Circus

I have eaten at circus circus for almost 29 years. The original owner cared and ran a business properly. After finding two hairs in my pizza this evening and called to inform them of the situation they were not helpful. Wish this place was not under a new owner they lost a life long customer tonight.

Place is under new owners and food is not nearly as good. Potatoes no longer are seasoned like before and chicken was kind of greasy. Never going back

Omg… the worse puzza I’ve ever had. Dough was way undercooked. Cheese? The little that was one my pie was not a real mozzarella. Sauce? Was there some? Seriously… new owner sorry don’t have our business!

⁸⁄₂₀₁₄ I gave it one star because not giving it any is not an option. Fish, bread sticks, pepperoni bread were terrible!!! Cheese dip and ranch were the worst I’ve ever had. Little Cesar’s is 10x better, which isn’t saying much. I wouldn’t eat this food again if it were FREE! Way over priced also, paid $ 17 for 6 pieces of fish ala carte and the pieces were about the size of my thumb This place used to be the best around in 80s. Disappointed to say the least. Don’t waste your money!!!

I would never have said their pizza was «great», but it was unique and a nice change of pace from the chain joints. I liked eating there when I was tired of the same olé and I like supporting local small business. It had been a while and I ordered last night… finished one slice and it tasted funny, powered through a second and that was it for me. Something is different and it is not good. Sauce tastes like leftover spaghetti sauce and the cheese was flavorless and barely melted. Toppings were fresh which was nice but I picked them off and ate them, threw the remaining slices into the trash.
Salad would have been great if they didn’t take hot chicken and put it on a cold salad for a carry out order. By the time I got home my dressing was hot my lettuce was warm and my chicken was room temp.
Breadsticks were very good.
Needless to say I will not return. I live 4 blocks away and would rather drive further for better pizza. Sorry circus circus, what ever you are doing differently stop. Go back to what you were doing. I really liked that. This is not 1970 and these houses are not vacation homes who would kill for pizza so they don’t have to bbq. If your product isn’t good people will just go to m59 and get jets or hungry howies.

Something changed in the year since I’ve been here but it’s not as good as it used to be. And I really love pizza. Disappointing for sure!

Worst customer service EVER!!! The so called manager Omar who also said he was the owner has no customer service skills and does not care to lose customers… we ordered a square well done thin sauce pizza and received a round extra sauce half done pizza. When I called Omar was rude and did not care to hear what I had to say I will drive 10 miles out of my way the next time I want pizza.

I pulled up this webpage to view the menu and ordered a carryout. We choose the rib dinner with fries and cole slaw for $ 19.99. When the delivery came the girl said the total was $ 27.49. I told her the online menu said the rib dinner was $ 19.99. She said «that’s an old menu that’s online… the rib dinner is now $ 22.99.» I told her she should let management know of the discrepancy and she said that they were aware. It’s one thing to have an old menu with outdated prices, but to have a business post prices that they know are not correct is just BAD business. I use to love Circus Circus for 28 years but refuse to support this type of business plan. Highland House down the street has better food and prices.

I have gotten circus circus several times in the last few years, love the breadsticks and used to love the pizza. Last time I went in with some family friends that have lived on oxbow lake since it first opened up and recently they told me the owners changed. When we ordered our food and walked over to get it the girl was really friendly apologizing for the wait which wasn’t a problem. When we got the food and walked it home we noticed the box was a little small since we ordered a large square cut pizza. When we opened the box it was a round small pizza with just pepperoni and and yellow peppers on it when we ordered half pepperoni and half mushrooms and yellow pepper. We took the pizza back up and addressed the problem since we paid for a large and even asked if they could make a square pizza since normally they don’t. The girl said they don’t make square and it would be an hour wait. When we returned for the 3^rd time 2.5 hours after the original order the pizza was square-​ish and not cooked all the way through, the mushrooms were still cold and it was horrible! We called to ask to talk to the owner explained everything we went through this time, the woman said tough shit basically and she wouldn’t refund our money. We continued to tell her we’ve been going there since it openned and she said tough, they are under new management and told us we were incompetent and she didn’t care if we never came back and hung up on us. I work with customer service in the retail industry and I have never felt with a more horrible manager, let alone owner in my whole life. I never recomend anyone go back while these new people are owning it.

Wasn’t that impressed with their pizza… Going back to Hungry Howie’s.

I’ve been coming here for 35 years and its the best keep secret around. My friends who moved away are all jealous of me cause I still get to have the awesome breadsticks & cheese dip. The subs are oven baked not like the fastfood sub place that microwaves them. Must try items are supreme burger, chili cheese fries, Ribs, breadsticks & cheese dip, Coney style pizza (BEST EVER), any of the subs I pefer the Italian sub, Coney dogs, actually everything they have is GREAT!!! I would say I would pefer to eat hear 8 out of 10 times over a fancy restaurant no joke.

I have been wanting to try Circus Circus for a couple of months now but was a bit miffed that there was no record of their menu online (I’m the sort that needs to ponder a bit). We decided to venture to the establishment and check it out. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I think if you caught them in just the right lull, you could possibly sit down and share life stories with them.
My wife got a pepperoni pizza and I got the coney island pizza. The pepperoni was good and not too greasy. Next time we will likely ask for more sauce which had great flavor — there just wasn’t enough of it for our taste. The coney island was amazing. They told me at the counter that it tastes like a coney and they weren’t lying. The sauce and cheese and onions and just a little mustard were the right flavor profile. I had them add hotdogs because I just couldn’t consider having a coney without the dog. It was a perfect representation.
We will certainly be back to try their other fare. On our way out, they mentioned that their spicy chicken is marinated to be spicy, not simply seasoned… that definitely got me on the hook for another visit down the line.

THE BEST bread sticks & cheese dip anywhere! I used to live around the corner and this was my favorite carry out (delivery did take forever). The ribs were super and pizza OK. I loved this place and really miss it now that I’m so far away.

Amazing breadsticks. Great pizza. I’ve known the owner for my entire 30 years and they’re great.
I don’t live terribly close now but try and stop in for a bag of bread and a chat when I’m in the area.

I love their pizza bread with the cheese dip – it’s greasy and delicious. Their regular pizza I thought was gross.
The manager I spoke with most recently was incredibly rude and sarcastic. This alone lost my business.
