1. 3 Family-Friendly Reasons to Choose a Pizza Buffet for Dinner
The available varieties of pizza, including the toppings and cuts, make it hard not
to please everyone in the family. But sometimes even sit-down pizza restaurants
are a hassle when taking the whole family out to dinner together, and that's when
buffet-style pizza restaurants are a good option to consider.
Pizza arrived in the United States in the
early 19th century, an import from Italian
immigrants whose many regional variations
were eventually combined into pizza as we
know it today. Some families even baked
their last names right into the dough,
maintaining a connection to their homeland
through its most famous dish. The modern
buffet came later, after the debut of
Swedish smorgasbords at the 1939 World's
Fair. Today, all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants offer appetizing cuisine from every
part of the world, and pizza buffets are no exception. In fact, buffet-style pizza
restaurants offer far more than just pizza; there are three big reasons that make
them an excellent choice for family dinners.
Price
No matter how big or small your appetite -- or your budget -- you can always
depend on the same low, flat rate, which includes drinks and sides and is often
even lower for kids and seniors. That makes trips to the buffet as easy as (pizza)
pie on the wallet, and for large families, the savings really add up. There's also no
full wait staff, so you won't have to worry about a 20% tip; and because your
meal's already right in front of you, there's no delivery fee or driver to tip, either.

2. Time
In most sit-down pizza restaurants, waiting comes with the territory. Pizzas,
especially deep-dish and pan, take longer to cook than most entrees, so when
you bring the whole family and order an extra-large, that means a lot of waiting
while the kids get increasingly hungry. Delivery ordering means waiting for a
delivery driver who may get lost, plus dealing with the mess at home after the
last slice is gobbled up. Pizza buffets offer the best of both worlds. Diners can
help themselves to a delicious, well-balanced meal the moment they walk in the
door, without worrying about cooking, waiting, or cleaning up afterwards.
Options
Pizza is already one of the most versatile and popular comfort foods, and buffets
allow diners to customize their dining experience. It's only natural to combine the
two, and with the addition of pasta, salads, and dessert, it's easy to find
something for everyone. Rather than compromise with toppings that everyone will
like, everyone can fill their own plate with exactly what they want. Buffets offer a
great chance to try something new or load up on a favorite that is never ordered
because no one else likes it.
According to data firm Food Genius, which tracked over 87,000 different
restaurant menus, pizza is actually the nation's second-most gluten-friendly dish;
it makes up 38% of all gluten-free menu items. Thanks to an ever-increasing
variety of toppings, they're also among the most popular vegetable dishes, with
everything from peppers to pickles listed as commonly ordered toppings.
Urbandale's Incredible Buffet & Fun Center is among those restaurants that offer
gluten-free crust, among many other options not found at the standard pizza
buffet. Toppings include five different meats and nine vegetables, plus a unique
variety of sauces. And the options don't stop there -- customize your own dish at
the pasta, baked potato or taco bars, and finish with some cinnamon rolls for
dessert!
