    We ate here for dinner at around 5pm on a Wednesday. A lot of the pizza was pretty dry crispy like it had been sitting out for a while, which makes sense considering the restaurant wasn't busy. It came out to be $26 for 2 which wasn't horrible. The desert pizzas and salad bar were especially good and fresh. But the regular pizza was lacking. Still a fun experience and probably a good place to take kids. I'd definitely recommend going when they're busy so the pizza is more moist and fresh.

    It used to be decent. The last two times I've come, there's literally no pizza. I've been here for 20 minutes now, zero pizzas have come out. It has been 10 minutes with literally zero pizza on the bar. There are 16 people sitting in the dining room, 12 have been there longer than I have, so it's not like it was a sudden rush. Nothing is coming out of the kitchen. It's beyond disappointing to go to a pizza buffet and having 0 pizza. In the 5 minutes I've been writing the review, two pizzas have come out. A plain cheese and a dessert pizza. 25 minutes now. For this. I could have gone to an actual pizza place and had a custom order by now. Instead I watched that plain cheese pizza be devoured by just 4 people in less than 1 minute. This happening once is disappointing but fine. Happening repeatedly is a pattern of poor service I won't be back a third time. I used to come weekly for over a year.

    0 stars this place is just awful. Service is terrible. They were rude. Refused to put any other pizza until those were eaten. They wouldn't put out any fresh desert pizza either. There was another family there having the same problem. They ended up asking for a refund and left. We paid $46 to be ignored when asking for a fresh pizza,of any kind. One of the employees came over to talk to us and we told him that the employees were rude,the pizza was all old and cold and the salad bar was warm and wilting.

    I understand that it wasn't busy when my family came in. however, when I requested fresh pizza, it was obviously all very old and dry, I was met with attitude. We even saw a family complain and demand a refund. I recommend going to Clinton Highway location. For $46 I am extremely disappointed in my experience.
