Pizza House — Restaurant in Salinas

I came to try this place out after seeing they offered a lunch buffet. Normally you can't go wrong with a good pizza buffet.

The atmospehre here was bad. The place was dead empty and only one guy there. It felt very unfriendly and like you weren't welcome. The guy they hired clearly didn't even want to be there cause he seemed bored, lifeless and more absorbed into his headphones and phone then his work.

The buffet had a decent price, but was bad. Nothing was ready to go when I ordered and the buffet was empty. Not even a salad bar. The food was decent, but he only prepared a single pizza and garlic sticks. Ranch wasn't free either, so another strike against this place.

Decent price and food, but with that and everything else against it, there's no way I can reccommend eating here unless you're absolutely curious about it.

Avoid it if you can. I personally...

I love pretty much all pizza, but I’ve been hitting blanks finding a truly great pizza anywhere in this area.

My hometown has spoiled me with off the charts delicious food and I’ve sadly become a food snob. I keep trying pizza place after pizza place throughout Monterey county and haven’t even been able to find any better than Pizza Hut. UNTIL NOW!!!!

I’ve only tried the Mexican Pizza (and will absolutely be back to try the other flavors) but everything worked with this pizza (except the pineapple which is just added for a dexterity exercise). The crust was both light with the perfect balance of chew and crunch, the flavor of the sauce was intense with a small amount of kick, and the toppings were unique and delicious.

I don’t live anywhere close to this pizza place, but...

The best pizza places I have been to add something extra to the sauce and dough. This place doesn't taste like it adds anything; the sauce didn't stand out at all, and while the dough was to the thickness I prefer there wasn't anything special about it tastewise. The cheese was good and I preferred the sausage to the pepperoni by quite a bit.

The jalapeño & cheese groovy twists could have benefited from the cook being more liberal with the cheese, as it was a little more doughy and less cheesy. Overall, pretty decent but nothing amazing.

If I lived near this place, I would go there every now and then. As somebody who might pass through this town again on vacation, there are too many other options that it is not worth...
