I used to love Cici's as a teenager. Now in my mid 30s, I go about once a year to remind myself why I only go once a year. After my most recent visit (and my local store is probably the nicest & cleanest one in the whole company - a germophobe owns it) I think I'm finally going to cease my annual visits. No bad experiences, just tired of the terrible food quality. Cheapest ingredients imaginable, "high gluten" dough, watered down ranch, broccoli always starting to mold. Not to mention you always feel like crap every time you leave regardless of how full (or not) you get. The only pizza really worth it there is the flatbread-like pizzas they sometimes serve simply because it's less crappy dough, but it still has the crappy toppings. I finally learned my lesson and added it to my 'banned' list. I'm sure most people (especially those with kids) will disagree with me and that's fine (not trying to be the diabetes guy in the soda thread), just giving my two cents for anyone not familiar with them.
Pizza buffets are a dying breed. Only reason I enjoy going to cicis is to remind me how awesome Pizza Hut *used* to be.
Get the whole team together after a win and storm Pizza Hut at lunch time. Managers would panic and say "MORE PEPPERONI! MORE SAUSAGE!" as we poured in the door.
I feel like it depends on the location. There's a few near me, and some are good while others are worse quality. I will say their pizzas are very oily, but you can ask them to make any pizza free of charge (like Flatbread), which is a plus.

Look this place gives me the drizzling shits but as an obese man I farking love it. If you go at like 1pm and eat until 5:30pm, you're basically paying $5 for two meals.

I remember going there as a kid and my brother asked them to make a macaroni pizza and they brought one out not too long after.

Cicis just doesn't have the same energy
Facts. Stupidest decision Pizza Hut ever made. Now they have tons of the old large restaurants and every last one of them is literally always a ghost town because there is absolutely zero reason to dine-in. So why pay to maintain the large buildings? It doesn't make any sense. And since they took the Domino's model, well, sorry but Domino's does it better and cheaper. The icing on the cake was when PH took away the Peruvian cherry peppers as a topping. Haven't been back since.
