The Original All-You-Can-Eat Pizza Buffet​

Enough with ordinary, our pizza fans deserve the extraordinary. Each time you grab a plate and head to our all-you-can-eat buffet you know something amazing is coming. Choose from dozens of unique pizza flavors, create custom pizzas, and load up on unlimited salad, pasta, sides and desserts to thrill your tastebuds. Our all-you-can-eat pizza buffet has come a long way since day one, so let's take a look back at how it all began.​

Almost 40 Years of delicious pizza

In 1985, Cicis opened its doors for the very first time in Plano, Texas – and just like that, the Original home of all the pizza, pasta, salad, and desserts you can eat was born. For nearly four decades, Cicis has been committed to creating fun, family-friendly restaurants where guests can spend quality time together and enjoy all their favorites for one low price.

Consistently adapting to meet the changing needs of its guests in recent years, Cicis put a stronger focus on its off-premise options with the launch of online ordering, and new menu items. Now, fans can easily order their favorites for pick-up or delivery at Cicis locations across the country, making it easier for guests to enjoy TBPVA™, wherever they want to!  TBPVA™, you ask?  The Best Pizza Value Anywhere! 

Today, the brand has more than 300 restaurants in 30-plus states and has been ranked by CNN Money as the No. 1 “Casual Dining Pizza Chain (for your money) in America,” named by Technomic as the No. 2 “Most Kid-Friendly Chain as voted by Millennial Moms” and recognized by Nation’s Restaurant News among its Top 200 Restaurant Chains and Franchise Times Top 400.
