What a neat place this is!! I am used to boring old pizza places or just ordering delivery. The kids wanted to go out and have some fun, but after the move, my budget was limited! I remembered a pizza place we used to go to on vacation and that there was a large mall like store attached to it. Well, the store part is no longer there, but they put in an arcade instead!
It is right in the middle of 76 strip attached to the end of the Grand Country complex. The building itself is painted in bright inviting colors and has the handle of a giant guitar sticking out of the front! We headed and in and wow did it smell good. The price was 7.99 for adults, 4.99 for children 4-10 and under 4 was free. It was all you can eat pizza and a soup/salad bar. We all headed for the pizza! Now I have eaten a lot of pizza in my life, but this stuff was amazing. There was a spinach pizza that people were going crazy over. As soon as they put one up, it was gone. I got ahold of a slice and understood why! Spinach pizza is usually bland and had little flavor but this was buttery with a creamy sauce and a nice hint of the spinach flavor. The sausage was also very good. They had cheese covered bread sticks that were perfect and when you got your fill of pizza, soup and salad, they even had desert pizza! One was like a chocolate chip cookie and the other was cherries covered with a crumb toppingI don't really want to think about how much pizza I actually ate. Then the kids wanted salad so we tried it out. It was very fresh and full even though it was a busy time of day. They had the usual salad bar items so it was well rounded and good. Then I checked out the soups. I just about did a little dance because they had a cheesy ham soup that I hadn't had since one of my first restaurant jobs. It was so good I had two bowls. We all ate ourselves silly!
Attached to the pizza place was an arcade. We had promised the kids we would take them there after we ate, though in our stuffed state, we were regretting that promise...lol. You load how much money you want each kid (or adult) to have on a plastic "credit card". They can then use that to place the games and try to rack up tickets. They can trade the tickets in for prizes afterward. As I had four kids, I only gave them 5.00 apiece. I really figured we would only be there a few min. and they would walk away with a tootsie roll or two. We wound up spending an hour and to my amazement they actually got some pretty neat prizes! One got a velvet art posters w/ markers, a glass mouse clip, a pig bank and some rattle snake egg magnets. Another got a glass paperweight with laser etched mermaids inside. The little ones chose a cowboy hat, whoopee cushion, Chinese finger trap, a ceramic tea set and several other little items. There are also other things that cost extra if you want to do them such as bumper cars, a climbing ball shooting thing, photo booth, and laser tag.
The main thing they had was FUN! Even us adults had a great time helping them and watching (I am pretty sure we might have played a game or two ourselves...hehe) I highly recommend this place to families for a great dinner and an evening out!
