Dine like a swine for five ninety-nine! OK, it might cost a little more than that these days depending on where you go, however for this edition of Freedom Rolling's pizza reviews, we'll be looking at a few buffets to see how they stack up against the competition. Is it a better deal to go to one of these, or is the quality at a traditional pizza shop more worth the value?
They say that everything is bigger in Texas, and buffet portions are certainly able to satisfy this claim, especially at Port A Pizzeria in Port Aransas, Texas. First started over 30 years ago, Port A Pizzeria has been servicing this island community with both their dine-in buffet, as well as a traditional take-out or delivery option with basic Italian fare you'd find at most pizzerias around the country. Coupled with a sports bar-like environment on the inside, this has become a relaxing place for the gulf visitors to enjoy, while at a surprisingly economical price for the location that benefits the locals and thrifty visitors. So don't feel like you have to venture to the mainland for some well priced grub; give Port A Pizzeria a try.
Come for the pizza and get your fill of fried chicken! That's what you'll experience at Pizza Ranch, a buffet-style pizza outlet with many locations across the Midwest and Rockies. First starting in Iowa in 1981, Pizza Ranch offers several different varieties of pizza, many with cowboy themed names, at regular intervals to their customers. What's most unique about this place is that if you're not really feeling like pizza, you could head over to the bar with fried chicken and all the fixings that you'd expect with that sort of a dinner. Some locations will also include an arcade in the back to help keep the kids occupied between plates or during a party event. So if you're looking for pizza but not sure what you want, maybe give this buffet a try.
Next trip finds us on the edge of the college city of Clemson, South Carolina for Joe's New York Pizza. Founded in 2009, Joe's services three different locations in the Clemson area with both buffet and traditional pizzeria services. The Clemson location offers a weekday lunch buffet in a bright and inviting restaurant. The ambiance is very much dedicated to the local Clemson Tigers sports teams, with some memorabilia in the bar area in support of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Joe's pizza knows how to do the product the way it should be, with a thin cracker-like crust that allows the toppings to be the main feature. The buffet will not offer the same foldable slices you'd be able to get with the larger pizzas at this establishment, but the dessert pizza is one where you will want to save room. If you want good pizza while in the area, Joe's is a must-have for everyone.
So while you Follow Your Internal Compass across this great nation, be on the lookout for pizza buffets where you can get your fill, whether stationary or on the road.
