Asked for them to make a taco pizza when we came in and we were told that they wouldn’t bring it out to our table (which is something they offer in writing). Instead they would only put it out in the buffet. We watched for it to come out but they didn’t even make one. At one point there were no pizzas left on the buffet and also no dessert items either. They brought out a couple pizzas but chose to make pizzas with jalapeños and olives and other less popular toppings instead of pepperoni or sausage. On the fence if I will be returning in the future.
