Pizza Delight is a standard pizza chain in Eastern Canada. I have always enjoyed their pizza—I grew up eating Pizza Delight and using it as the benchmark to which I compare all other pizza. I don't get there very often because I have to drive past several other pizza places to get to them.
Recently our local Pizza Delight has been offering a dinner buffet on Friday nights on a trial basis. So, we thought we would give it a go. We were glad we did! My mother, my three kids (only two of whom are old enough to eat pizza), and myself.
We got there about 10 minutes before the buffet started, so we had some of their new "Grill Your Own Bread." We'd had it before and knew that we liked it, but we didn't want to eat too much because the buffet was coming.
We were particularly impressed with the quality of the salad fixing's. The lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and other salad ingredients were lovely and fresh. The potato salad was excellent also, and the pasta salad was quite tasty.
Next we tried the pasta. There was a rice dish with veggies in it that was a bit unusual, and three pastas—one baked with cheese and two that you could put your choice of sauce on. All were quite tasty.
There were three kinds of pizza, plus garlic fingers. One of the pizzas was really odd and we didn't like it much, but the garlic cheese fingers were good. There was no donair sauce to dip them in which was a bit disappointing.
For dessert, they have apple pie dessert pizza. It was very tasty.
My 3-year old loved being able to go to the playroom, which was next to our table, and the 7-year old loves salad and the bread grill, so they were both very happy. Mom and I ate too much but enjoyed it.
The cost was $10 for adults and $6 for kids, plus tip and tax. Not unreasonable, but it would have been nice if drinks had been included.
Quick recap: Salad A+, Bread Grill A+, Pasta B, Pizza B, Dessert B, Price B-. Overall --- B+.
