An excellent use of Free Will, that's the new term people of my generation are using, right? I was out and about and absolutely starving! I did a Google search of restaurants near me, and I was thinking something like Panera, but Cici's popped up. I haven't been here since I was in college, but it was a luxury when I was a kid, so why not? I paid $14 for the buffet and a drink, and was free to eat what I wanted. The salad bar is simple, but loaded with vegetables, there is soup and pasta, then a selection of pizzas. And surprisingly, the vegetarian pizza was delicious! Like Cici's has great pizza, who would've thought. I remember my friends and I would indulge in the Macaroni and cheese pizza, so I was happy they still had it. They were making fresh pizzas and announcing to the restaurant as they came out. It was clean inside, the drink counter was just a little messy. There is a lot of seating in this restaurant, though it wasn't crowded. I'm going to tell people to stop sleeping on Cici's Pizza, they take you back in time with their buffet and the red plates and offer a decent meal on a budget. After eating, there is an arcade to try out some games you may or may not win. Grown up 80's and 90's kids, life is hard, you'll have a blast and forget about your troubles at Cici's. read more

This Cici's is a little odd. No booths, only dining tables throughout the large restaurant space. Pizzas were also slow to come out and be replenished with only a 1/3 of the restaurant full. Most locations will keep things in the oven to quickly rotate on the Buffet, but we felt like we had to wait for them to make the same Buffalo pizza three times and little else. No cheesy bread and overcooked pasta was also a bit disappointing. It's a Cici's Pizza, so I don't have the highest expectations, but I couldn't help feel let down by the kitchen a bit here. The staff on the floor was wonderful though, always coming over to check if we needed anything and clear plates promptly. read more

I spent a few hours here with a friend and it was a funny experience as I had never been to a place like this before. Staff was friendly. Place was well kept up for cleanliness. But many issues: no ice machine, token machine out of order, nasty bathrooms. The food was meh and all pizzas tasted the same to me. The brownie was hard as a brick. Just gross but kids eat free on Tuesday so that would be a good reason to come. Adults are 9.99 each. read more

That little Indian racist workers there's a whole family of them and they keep staring at you while you eat and won't let you get a break. If you try to get up to go get a drink they say you can't get a drink. You can only get water the Indian chicken eater. The service is so bad. read more

Food ? The pizzas had been under the lamp on the counter for so long that they were impossible to eat. The pasta was a massacote. The bathroom was missing the urinal. Never again. read more

This Cicis Pizza needs a inspection check asap! Went there and couldn't eat just at looking at the non sanitized place. Also manager has nasty attitude towards customers. Do Better be Better! read more

They do not give cups for tap water, you have to buy a drink or water bottle. The fountain machine was working fine, they just basically think people will steal soda so you either have to buy something or go thirsty. Pretty ridiculous read more

Food is bad and management needs more control and all workers need more training and the table are dirty and gum and playing games area had food and more gum and dust and the bathroom not even clean. Slow service with pizza and we hear loud music coming from kitchen the manager not paying attention read more

Worst experience ever with a manager by the name of victor which is the name he gave - he challenged me in front of many other guests and confronted me at the table when I asked him to leave me alone. If you are looking for great service this is not the place for you. Waste of $25 when all I had was a salad. I guess the owner doesn't want to hear our side i just wish we had it recorded. This location has 5 stars from a employee who does magic tricks NOT because of Victor! Management at its best - he lied to get himself out of trouble if the owner would like to refer to video he can clearly see victor hawking out table. Oh did I mention Cici's filed Chapter 11 and they wonder why! Not COVID bad management like this one. read more

Cicis Pizza - "Owner response" - Pizza Near Me - Davenport, Florida

They was being racist to my family and said one of my family members ate 5times but she's lactose and tolerant and we told the owner can we see the cameras because he said that he was the one that saw it but she came in the store the first thing she had did was seat down so we told him can we see the camera and he said no I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

Okay starting this off with saying, i came here for the brownies and they had no brownies ??? How do you guys not have brownies if that is the only good desert. The employees were lazy and barely did anything. Crumbs on the table, there were no lids for the cups either. The pizza barely has sauce on it and nobody comes here! read more

This was the worst cicis ive ever been to. The pizza was disgusting and barely left in stock. The dessert was only a canned biscuit with cinnamon and no icing. The brownies were thin and nasty. They had no forks no tops to cups and tables were nasty and sticky. Please I don't care who you are do not waste your time here. Its very dirty like the floor s and everything. Even the kitchen. And of course they allow pets INSIDE. One lady was holding her dog up while getting food. My experience was very interesting and I will never come back here I couldn't put 0 stars but if u could I would. read more

the worst Cicis pizza ever. sure it was clean, but food was bad and kinda cold. salad bar was pretty low on things or covered in the other foods. the soup was bad. Only had like 3 pizzas out to begin with. i acknowledge Cicis isn't the best food in the world but it just was not good by Cicis standards read more

I've been here twice. The bathrooms have been absolutely DISGUSTING both times . They do not keep up with restaurant cleanliness at all.

Came back a year later after a disappointing visiting. I'm not going to say there was a vast improvement, but there was some. All pizzas seemed fresh and hot, although not much to choose from. Staff was friendly but largely nonexistent (in back somewhere?). The hillbilly bbq has moved out and down the strip a few space with a less offensive name... honey's bbq. They moved the loud arcade games into this spot. Very loud compared to the space they had previously been in back. Also takes up space where dinning guests could sit by windows. I guess all the kids staring at the game screens will enjoy the view outside more than mom and dad back at the table. Only three seats near/looking out windows. One only a couple feet from the one and only trash can, so does that really count? Those three seats have the lovely view of the backside of signs! Do you think there were any signs on the windows in the arcade section where nobody is ever trying to look outside? Not even one!!! Just seems like a few poor chooses by management/owners who have probably never thought about the dinning experience or sat and ate in their own restaurant. read more

Cicis Pizza - Loud arcade room. No signs in any of these windows - Pizza Near Me - Davenport, Florida

Tried the Tots n Bacon pizza. Pizza is very bready , lacked a lot flavor. 1 maybe 2 tots. Note to the owner, please get new tables I feel like I am on an amusement park ride while eating. For me, won't come back but will make this pizza at home. read more

We've been coming to this location for a few years and we are done coming here. Service and quality get worse each time. Today was my last time here unless things turn around and I start seeing better reviews. We arrived around 4:30pm and the place was empty of customers. There were a few mostly dried up pizzas sitting out. The ice was empty but they promptly filled it. As they were restocking plates and paper bowls a worker dropped a bunch of the paper bowls to the floor. The worker proceeded to pick them up from the floor and stack them for customers to pick from to hold their food! I have to wonder how much of what I ate off of had been on the floor or handled by hands that might not have been washed recently read more

We have been going to this location for almost a year, truth be told, it's only when a manager is working, the food tastes better, there's more food available in a timely manner, and we actually get the food we order - how we ordered it (you're able to order custom pizzas). It also seems that every time we visit it gets worse and worse; today was the shit show. For once they had a nice selection of veggies at their salad bar, which I was really excited about cause usually I just put lettuce and onions on top, (it differs each time) and I set up my salad with radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, while my husband ordered his pizza (chicken, ham, and bacon) and my pasta (the pasta salad (( cold pasta with ranch, onions, cheese, and ham (( I aways ask for no ham))). We waited a while for the custom orders, I ate 2 big plates of salad and my husband had a few slices of pizza as they were placed in the buffet (which was absolutely barren). Now, we definitely were not the only customers to place custom orders as another gentleman was very frustrated with one of the employees, after being told his daughter's pizza would be out in five minutes only to learn that after 20 minutes that they didn't have the toppings he requested, his daughter was fairly disappointed. Now, we went up to the counter more than once to ask about our orders. First time, they admitted they forgot (for whatever reason this location doesn't use the notepads). 2nd time we saw my husbands pizza go into the oven but it was topped with pineapple (he's allergic) so we flagged them and reminded them of his order. 3rd time the food was brought to us, my pasta had no cheese and once again there was pineapple on his pizza. We rejected the pizza, as he literally cannot eat it, I don't eat their pizza, and then I asked for some shredded cheese for my salad and pasta (which the pasta is supposed to come with it). I was told by 2 different employees that I'm not able to have the cheese because it's only reserved for pizza, which is bull, one of them told me they could give me Parmesan cheese and after I told her I didn't want Parmesan cheese she went around the corner and got me Parmesan cheese. So placed it with all the other Parmesan cheese containers and told her that I really wanted the shredded cheese that comes on my food, which she promptly denied. So I asked the last employee I could see cause someone could understand that I just wanted some cheese for my food and she went and got the same girl who handed me the parmesan cheese and told me that each location is different, to which I explained that this had never been an issue before. She shrugged and so I told her that this would be the last time we go there. I get that it's no big deal to them just one family less that they have to deal with. But it's just so obnoxious to never know what you're going to deal with whenever you go in to this location and I don't understand why I had to argue with the staff to just get a little thing of some fucking cheese for my salad and pasta, I don't eat their pizza & most of their staff know that. I pay for my overpriced salad buffet each time and occasionally have their soup when it has some flavor. But I really enjoyed having that pasta option once it became available. The manager told me they'll always be able to make it cause they have the ingredients even if it's not in the salad bar. So I just don't get the issue and yes this whole rant is literally because they denied me cheese, call me a Karen if you will but what stopped me from ordering a custom pizza with no dough, no sauce, only cheese and tell them I don't need it cooked. Like I can give malicious compliance and all but I just wanted to eat but instead I tossed the pasta, since you can't take it home, and we left. read more

Came around 5 pm and the tables were empty with no food, chicken noodle soup had just juice. Waited over 20 min for pizzas to be put out. Then there was no thong to grab the cinnamon rolls so one of the workers grabs the ones from the brownies and tells me to use it, I told him flat out that's cross contamination and told him to grab one from the back that is clean. They had multiple families coming in with no pizzas ready. The manager had an attitude and didn't even care about what was going on when she was in the back. I made a complaint and she had nothing to say. Spend $24 for 2 people with almost no food read more

Online says they're open until 10, walked in at 8:30 and they were throwing all the pizza away in the trash. Please update your hours and just a suggestion to maybe work with a local food bank/halfway house for the extra food? Honestly super heartbreaking watching nearly whole pizzas go straight into the trash can. read more

I usually try avoiding cicis because from what I remember they used to be pretty bad however this one in particular has completely changed my mindset. I was greeted the second I walked into the store, the store was super clean and surprisingly even the buffet line was very nice and neat and clean. They had many varieties of pizzas and their manager Tania even walked around asking if we wanted a specific pizza when I asked her for a pepperoni with jalapeño it was truly the best pizza I've ever tried from cicis. I truly will be returning because of such great care their workers truly look like they love the healthy environment they're working in. Tania, thank you for taking such great care of me and my family we hope to see you here when we come back! read more

Shut down for roaches, both live and dead. See picture. "inspectors saw over 25 live and dead roaches under the buffet bar, dining room, near a freezer, dry storage rack, on a case of pizza sauce, under the pizza oven, under the hand sink and front counter." read more

Everything at this locations is trash the employees the food is cold the pizza is hard to chew the cinnamon buns are not made correctly it's like they don't care to make anything right. You guys maybe need to hire older people because the young ones are not doing things properly. I would never ever come back to this location read more

The floor was sticky made noises when walking through there, they had no brownies at the buffet and the pizza was tasteless and hard as a rock... definitely not to par with the other Cicis pizza in the area and my kid bugged me to play the coin machines like any other kid and 5 dollars got him nothing because all the machines were out of order not stocked or broken and they kept stealing my kids quarters even though they didn't work... sad experience left hungrier then when I went in and definitely not worth the cost $ people go the extra miles to any other cicis so your not disappointed read more

One of the best Cici's I have visited. Chris is always a pleasure (and will do magic tableside) and one of the nicest employees I've ever met. This location always has fresh pizzas available (or will make a custom order for you quickly.) read more

This cicis has been a wonderful experience because of how above and beyond management went to make sure me and my family were taken care of. Tania greeted us from the second we walked in and checked on us repeatedly throughout our whole experience. Highly recommend read more

Establishment is very clean and accommodating. Ordered low cab veggie bowl with red sauce. Sometimes just missing a little crunch order flat bread very nice & filling. Friendly attentive knowledgeable staff. It was a few minutes before opening but they opened early. Extremely nice & thoughtful. As the pizzas starting coming out the business became busy. It's very family friendly. Plus there is a game room for kids entertainment. read more

NO COVID PRACTICE! Workers with no masks on. People at the buffet talking over food no masks on. Gloves displayed no one using them and no workers requiring it either. The food looks like it's been sitting for hours the pasta looked old as well and so did the sauces. I paid for nothing I had one slice of pizza and was so disappointed I got up and left. My daughter had a browning it tasted like mix like it wasn't even cooked. read more

Cicis Pizza - No mask no gloves - Pizza Near Me - Davenport, Florida

My husband and I are truck drivers. We stopped in to this Cicis that was in the shopping center. Glad we did, all the people are very helpful and friendly. The manager Victor was great. While eating Chris one of the workers gave us an up close magic show. It was eye opening. We never been a part of a magic show before. We really enjoyed our time in Cicis. Come out and dine in with these wonderful people. Wish the Cicis in Dallas Texas were like this one. read more

This place was terrible. I wanted a refund, they were very slow with bringing fresh pizza out for the most part the buffet was 75% empty. The pizza wasn't great. Most of the drinks were out and there was no ice. read more

Let me begin by saying I have never been a fan of Cici's Pizza and have been avoiding the establishments for many years. However, this particular Cici's is extremely clean (the cleanest I've ever seen), the employees are all very friendly with smiles on their faces and a willingness to go above and beyond, and the pizza is pretty decent (for Cici's that is). Who doesn't love a buffet for just a little over $4 a person, especially with the economy the way it is now. Best pizza ever? Not by a long shot. But, for the price, the friendliness of the staff, and the pizza.. you can't beat it! I'll definitely return; many more times, I'm sure. read more

As always my return visit here was wonderful!! You can always tell when an establishment has a strong, passionate owner because it trickles down to the employees and the place glows with pride! Scott Bailey is that owner and has been there from day one, making pizzas, cleaning up, serving customers, you name it, this owner does it with a warm smile and can do attitude! I have been to many Cici's between Florida and Nee York and it's amazing what differences I've seen even though it's a "chain restaurant", each are owned by different owners. I've been to a few where it is a total disaster with employees that just don't want to be there! But this one is the shining star of Cici's! This Cici's outshines them all and is always top notch! As soon as you arrive you are greeted by Dallas Hooper who is very nice, knowledgable and attentive! Even figured out which coupon to use for this ditsy blonde! The food is laid out beautifully and fully stocked for this tasty lady to dive into! You start with a salad bar with a big selection of items plus new salad dressing squeeze bottles that I thought was a great concept! Onto soup and pasta with your choice of Alfredo or marinara. I love their chicken noodle soup with these huge fat pasta twirls!! The pasta is never over cooked but al dente! Now to the part we all have come here for, the Pizza!! An amazing selection of pizza, sausage, pepperoni, meat lovers, Mac and cheese, thin crust, stuffed crust, you name it they got it or will make it for you!! Manager Katherine Townsend made sure I was taken care of and more! She was quick, professional and very nice! As usual we were stuffed to the gills but had to have there dessert pizza, brownie bites and cinnamon rolls!! I will pay for this later at the gym, but it was all worth it!! Scott keep doing what your doing!! Your Cici's is the best! read more

We went to Cici's after reading the COVID Guidelines they followed. This location did not follow any of them. We were greeted by an African American woman that was not happy to be there. Thankfully wearing a mask. We were then told to enjoy the Buffett. There were no posted rules or any guides about how to access the Buffett line safely. A young man with big curly hair proceeded to fill the ice machine with no mask or gloves and then walked around the tables picking up plates ,maskless. So irresponsible to have young and disrespectful people running a restaurant during this unprecedented time. read more

CHRIS WAS SO AMAZING. I love magicians. His tricks were crazy. Very funny. Go to this place now

when there on a Friday and men... dissatisfying soup canisters empty, lettuce old and brown ich... i ask for fresh soup and lettuce twice and the young lady on the back said "yes i can do that" and she just put new soup but no fresh lettuce, i asked the guy at the register same thing "yes sr i can do that" never put the fresh lettuce, the buffet was poor, just a few pizza's there, the location was nasty dirty. I went there with my wife, her daughter, her daughter husband and grands thinking that is a new restaurant in a decent area it was going to be the best Cici's Pizza but nothing at all . Im giving 1 star cause isn't less than 1 star read more

Received excellent customer service. Went there today (12/30/2019). I put in a request for a specialty pizza and they asked me what size. I pointed at one of the pizzas on display in the Buffett as a reference. The employee acknowledged and gave me a number. I proceeded to get some other items as I waited for my pizza to be ready. After about 4 trips to the soup/pasta bar (soup was delicious btw), I went up to inquire about the specialty pizza I ordered. It had been about 20-25 minutes at this point. I wasn't in a rush or anything, but figured it had taken quite some time already. As I approached the bar, one of the employees (different than the one who took my order, and who I now assume was the manager on duty), asked me if I wanted anything. I explained I was waiting on a specialty pizza. It turns out that they don't do large specialty pizzas (just personal sizes) and when the specialty pizza came out, it was just added to the buffet. I was ok with this and simply asked if they make one in personal size for me. I wasn't in a rush and was enjoying have lunch with my best friend. The manager brought me my specialty pizza as soon as it was done. He then gave me a buy one/get one buffet coupon. He then brought me a second personal specialty pizza, and then told me he would be sending me home with an additional large specialty pizza. Now, some may say that they messed up and should not deserve a 5-star rating. The thing is, I was not an angry customer. People make mistakes and that's just how life is. My experience was not negatively impacted by not having my pizza in "ten minutes or less". I did not ask to be treated differently nor did I ask for anything for my troubles. The manager took it upon himself to ensure I left there with the best possible experience. Not because I was upset (which I wasn't), but because he felt "our mistake so we will do what we can to fix it". This left a long lasting positive impression on me. People tend to be quick to pull the trigger when something goes "bad", but rarely do we go out of our way to compliment when something goes "good". I for one, will be returning to this location when I'm next in Davenport! And if you were the awesome staff working there on this day, thank you very much for the great customer service and delicious food! read more

I've always loved CiCi's but the busser Chris gave my family and I the best experience there! Very kind, and funny. He even did some magic for us which made my daughter very happy! Chris was very respectful and caring! Thank you so much Chris for such a great experience! read more
