Cicis Pizza — Restaurant in Bedford

So, picture this: you're running low on cash... like, tooth fairy money. but your stomach's rumbling like it's about to start a one-person band. this is the promised land of the budget-conscious and the perpetually hungry. It's like finding an oasis in the desert, if that oasis was filled with pizza instead of water.

If you're hoping for a pizza that's going to make you see the face of the culinary gods, maybe keep looking. But if you're all about that "fill 'er up for a few bucks" life, then welcome home, my friend. The pizza? It's decent. Like, surprisingly not-bad-for-the-price decent. You've got your cheese, your pepperoni, and if you're feeling wild, some of those "adventurous" toppings that make you question everything. Mac n' Cheese on pizza? It's a judgment-free zone here.

The ambiance? Oh, it's got all the charm of a high school cafeteria with a dash of adult freedom. No one's going to yell at you for taking too long at the soda fountain, which, by the way, is a fizzy nirvana. Mix and match your drinks like you're a mad scientist at a soda lab. No one's stopping you.

And the TVs! They're everywhere, showing everything from sports to those daytime shows you won't admit you watch. It's like the universe's way of saying, "Sit down, eat your weight in pizza, and catch up on all the gossip."

Cleanliness? It's clean enough that you won't stick to the floor, but let's just say it's lived-in clean. Adds to the charm, really. You're not going to perform surgery on the tables, but you'll be comfortable enough eating off them.

It's a spot to go to when your wallet's light but your appetite's heavy. You'll leave with a full belly, probably a new favorite soda combo, and the realization that, hey, sometimes decent is just...

I asked my daughter if she wanted to join me for lunch, she said yes. When I asked where she wanted to go to my surprise she said, Cici's Pizza Buffet. So, off we went to Cici's. The restaurant was very maticulous, very neat in appearance, clean and well organized. When we walked in there was a pretty lady at the register Ms. Athena. She promptly greeted us, with a nice smile, politeness and was very friendly. Mr. Jose, the GM, of this restaurant also greeted us he too was very friendly and very polite and happy to see us there. It's well evident that his staff truly respect him and all were diligently working, cleaning and bringing out fresh pizza. The buffet setup was very well organized the salad bar looked really awesome with a fresh variety of vegetables, and salad dressings, the pasta bar included what I call elbow macaroni with tomato sauce, as well as chicken soup. The pizza bar included a variety of toppings for those who don't eat meats, or pork products like me. The dessert bar I felt was lacking, but what they had there was delicious. My salad was fresh with crisp lettuce, carrots, onions, croutons, black olives and cherry tomatoes. The cheese sticks carried great flavor, the chicken soup was great and very tasty, the spinach pizza, was nice and creamy, the cheese pizza was tasty as was the buffalo chicken pizza and well seasoned. Ms. Athena, was ready to assist very one who walked in. Please come visit Cici's pizza, they will treat you well. Come see Ms. Athena, and Mr. Jose. Hope to...

Since Bedford's the only town in the H-E-B + North Richland Hills without an Asian Buffet, this is the most iconic buffet in Bedford. Like Golden Corral, Cici's has commercials. Unlike Golden Corral, Cici's has ads in radio, too. Asian Buffets don't have commercials or ads, but they do have coupons.

Anyway, they have cool pizzas, and other options! The salad bar is real nice, too. It would really be nice if they had wings in the buffet area, too, though, but there may not be room. As for the desserts, there are only 2 different kinds, while Asian Buffets and Colden Corral have a wide variety. At least the dessert variety at Cici's isn't overwhelming, though. And it's interesting to see a unique pizza, each for limited time, and if they stop serving that, they serve a different unique pizza. Therefore, that can make you want to come more often. :3

My only real complaint is that the Pokeball claw machine is rigged, and last year, I won one, and failed every time after that, and failed every time this year, too... q-q Well, at least they had that pokeball gacha machines at the Hurst Asian King Buffet last...
