If you just like quantity over quality, then it's well worth $5 because you can stuff yourself on salad, pasta, pizza and desserts. The pizza is about a 3 on a 10 scale though. But, the few times I've gone in there, I've been disgusted because of the patrons, not the food. It's a Walmart crowd, comprised mostly of dirty kids with no manners running around the place and who's parents obviously do not have any control over. The worst is seeing these nasty kids up at the pizza bar and using their grimy hands to pull apart pieces of pizza. Just nothing quite like seeing some brat pick his/her nose and then go handle the pizza. I've also never been when there wasn't food all over the floor or scattered all over the salad bar (not much of a bar anyway).

I liked it a lot more when it was $3 and change. For the price the pizza is fine, but I'm not as picky as some apparently are on ATOT.

The price is what gets you.

I imagine if they charged $10 per person, many more people on ATOT would be less ashamed about liking it
 
It's OK. Generic tasting, but not bad.

I know how you feel, though. We have alot of Sonic commercials, but no Sonic.

Yea same, no sonic, no Cici's. Yet they are heavily advertized in my area.
 
I kind of like it, but in reality it is the cheapest pizza (in taste) that you've ever had in your life. But it is so inexpensive I have a hard time not liking the place.
 
I love CiCi's...my wife hates it though. I would rather go there than Pizza Inn, Pizza Hut or Mazzio's. CiCi's has a nice, large buffet while the other places have a joke for a buffet.

The Alfredo Pizza is damn good and that Mac and Cheese one is top notch.

Ah...good point, the variety.

I suppose that's one thing it's got going for it. There are flavors there that other places may or may not have...

Besides those two, other flavors worth mentioning are spinach, taco salad, buffalo chicken, and barbecue chicken

don't forget chili
 
I love their BBQ pizza and they make a decent deep dish pizza. The kids love the desserts. I wish they would expand on their salad and pasta bar, though.

They need to change their name to Slo-nic, because there sure isn't anything "sonic" about their service.
 
After eating at Cicis was tempted to open my own Pizzeria buffet for $5 a person and serve Chef-boy-ardee pizza. It has the worst crust of any pizza I've ever had. The sauce has no flavor. Toppings/cheese are ok. Price is good. A friend and I were actually in a Sam's club (Walmart pizza) and grabbed a slice of pizza there and were talking about how much better than cicis it was. When walmart pizza can beat a restaurant that specializes in pizza, houston we have a problem.

No doubt... I still like their food, though.
 
$5 is the absolute upper end for the stuff they serve.
I'd much rather take my $5 and go to a local pizza joint and get two large slices and a drink for $3.

I think it is better than the pizza hut buffet. Their cheese bread sticks are heavenly. Other than that the pizza is pretty good. Good enough that you will eat way more than you should and tell yourself that you will never go again because you ate 5000 calories.

im not a big fan of pizza hut. but pizza hut is at least 3.5 times better than cicis

cicis is garbage

When some of my friends worked there in HS, we called it "Greasys Pizza" or, better yet, "Feces Pizza."

While gross, it is fitting for the quality pizza they serve.

It's worth the $5. Their macaroni and cheese pizza is awesome.

Yep.

5 bucks for all you can eat is great. It's even cheaper if I go in uniform (the local one gives an EMS discount) so that's tough to beat.
