Hmmm, this is a tough one. In general we would rather eat at/support a local place with history and community involvement. We would also like a clean table and some sort of waitron.
We walked in and the place had a few tables with people, an empty table by the door, and several empty booths with the detritus from the last meal. Like most people, we don’t want to sit five feet from the front door, so we settle into a booth and scoot the tip out to the front and skim the napkins, paper plates, and styro cups to the back. We sit, we wait, we wonder. Finally I get up to eyeball the pizza buffet (all you can eat). After thoroughly memorizing the offerings, I decided to stand in line a the register to enquire if we need to place the order there or if there is a service staff. After a few minutes of queueing, I notice a person who might be a waitress walking by our table. She doesn’t stop, so I stop her and ask for instructions. She indicates that, 1) yes she is a waitress and 2) yes, she will take our order. She comes back, no menus (I saw them while queueing, so they do exist) and takes our drink order. She leaves, the tips go with her, the trash remains. When she returns with our Cokes, we start handing her the trash. Maybe she was having a bad day, maybe I was hungry, mabye-schmaybe.
We order the buffet. The pizza is not bad, its of the thickthin crust variety and the sauce is minimal and ok tasting. I guess it tasted better than Papa Johns or Pizza Hut, but marginally so.
It was pretty cheap, $14 for 2 including sodas. Still not sure what to recommend though. Support your locals I guess. Damming though faint praise?
