Pizza Village

Lunch buffet every day. Buffet pizza is terrible to me. I will only eat ordered pizza from here and its not as good as it used to be. Salad bar is basic. Couple of the servers are great and a couple can be terrible at times.

Oh the pizza was so so good, my granddaughter wanted a thin crust meat lovers pizza. So I said I could help her eat that thing, and we ordered it. When we got that thing it look awesome, now to get a slice on my plate. The crust was the thinness I've ever experienced, but it was firm and crisp even in the center. And the bottom was not burnt, it was the best pizza crust ever. Now they had plenty of toppings on this baby. I'll have to try this same pizza again, but I don't think nobody else can touch it. Now if you are in town give it a try, it'll knock your socks off.

**THIS REVIEW WAS WRITTEN ABOUT THE BUFFET EXPERIENCE ONLY.**

A-OK pretty much says it all--it's decent, but nothing to write home about.

The interior is spartan (think diner or cafeteria) but nice enough for what it is. We were there for the twice-a-week buffet (Tuesdays and Saturdays) and started with the salad bar, which turned out to be the best of the buffet offerings--the lettuce was nice and crisp and they had a decent variety of toppings and dressings.

The buffet pizza, however, can only be described as lackluster. It's pizza to be sure, but there's nothing exciting about it--no deep flavors or anything that pops on your taste buds. The thin crust is super thin, dry, and flavorless--and the toppings, although abundant, don't really help, either. That said, they do have a thicker crust pizza which is definitely better overall, though it still wasn't what I'd consider good pizza (the crust was better, but the toppings still seemed blah). One small bonus is that buffet nights are quite busy so the pizza stays fresh and they're constantly bringing out a variety of fresh pies (we saw everything from plain cheese to ham/pineapple to pepperoni/jalapeno to a desser pizza).

They also have a "pasta bar" but all I saw was spaghetti, a red meat sauce, and garlic bread--not really a pasta bar in my opinion. (I thought there was an Alfredo sauce, but once I took the cover off it looked like gravy--and the other two bins looked strange as well, so we guessed it was maybe soup but nothing was labelled. Boo.) The red sauce wasn't terrible but the pasta was slightly overcooked. The garlic bread looked great but was actually mediocre.

The service is great--full of "Sweeties" and "Sugars"--with frequent and plentiful refills (plus you can get a cup to go!). So this, in addition to the salad bar, earns the three stars. Without either one of those it would get two stars. The buffet price also helps a little--I think it was $6.99 (my parents picked up the tab but I tried to steal a glance at the bill) which wasn't too bad.

Overall, I'd say it's a decent place if you have kids who don't really care what pizza tastes like or if you live close by and want a quick and easy dinner. But it's nothing I'd go out of my way for...and I doubt we'll be eating there again.
