Diners: 4 - Me, Wendy, Andy & Eric
Experience: CiCi's is a nationwide chain with over 600 locations, scattered around the southeastern part of the US. Not your average pizza place, their uniqueness is that it's a fixed-price buffet, serving pizza, pasta, salads, and desserts. Their web site advertises the price as "all-you-can-eat for under $5*", with the asterisk explaining that "prices may vary by location". At the Leesburg CiCi's, it's $5.99 for the buffet, and another $1.69 for a drink with unlimited refills.
CiCi's is also one of Leesburg's newest restaurants. It's located in the new Fort Evans shopping center, on Fort Evans Road. Most of the stores there are still empty, and CiCi's is the only restaurant so far.
We went to CiCi's on the recommendation of my son Eric, who has frequented the CiCi's in Blacksburg, being a cost-conscious Virginia Tech student. We found the new Leesburg location to be very casual and fun, featuring good pizza and lots of it! We'll certainly be back.
Nostalgic Note: CiCi's buffet style reminds me of another pizza chain called Shakey's, that I went to while growing up in California. They too served pizza buffet style, but also featured live banjo and piano music, plus sing-a-long time!
