Anyone else ever totally destroy a pizza buffet?

Yeah, we used to go to Shakey's back in the day.

In my heyday I'd dominate 24 or 28 slices at Pizza Hut buffet. It was either 6 or 7 trips of 4 slices apiece.

Didn't seem like that much because generally they gives you the thinner pizzas and not deep dish.

Shakey's wasn't to that pizza extreme because they had huge cinnabuns and also a sandwich bar so it was a more balanced stuffing.

I hated when Shakey's, then Furr's departed the Las Vegas market. Pizza Inn left also but that was earlier.

Nowadays in my 50s I settle for 12 slices at Cici's with a big salad in midstream.

Golden Corral has terrific pot roast by buffet standards. If I stick to that and huge portions of green beans and other healthier stuff I can exit okay. If I pretend I'm still in my 20s and eat accordingly it's at least 15 minutes on the toilet before I can wobble out of there.

Try it at an Indian Food buffet. Might makes the projectile vomiting a bit more colorful.

Cicis made it easy with those thin slices. Any amateur could go over 10 slices there.

We have a mom and pop place that does a pizza buffet, but only during lunch. Really high demand for it, so it's hit or miss depending on the random selection of pizza and their ability to keep up with all the people.

I have to agree with Golden Corral having surprisingly good pot roast. I'll often take just the celery from it in an effort to binge on something healthy to offset the culinary debauchery in which I'm partaking with the rest of the buffet.

Little known fact--Pizza Hutt will make a specialty pizza for you if you order their lunch buffet. They do place it on the buffet instead of bringing it to your table, so you have to be ready to rush to the buffet counter when you see them bringing it out before the other hungry diners get to it first. In fact I did this yesterday--had them make a thin-crust vegetarian pizza then scarfed down two thirds of it before anyone else knew it was out there.

My freshmen and sophomore years in college our team would go to a Mr. Gattie's on Wednesday for the $5 buffet night. We all had punch cards too, 10 punches and you got your 11th free. Anyway, one night a fellow distance runner and a middle distance guy went head to head to see would could eat the most slices. To keep track and make sure someone wasn't grabbing all the small pieces they each made a line with the crust of each piece, that ran from one end of the table to the next. Longest line won was the idea. Anyway, they had gone through 4 or 5 cheese pizzas, the manager couldn't keep up because they kept taking the whole cheese pizza every time it came out. Finally, the manager walks to the back where we are sitting, looks at the lines of crust, turns super red, veins about to pop on his head and screams, "that's it! You're done. I'm closing the buffet. Time for you to leave." Can't remember who won, but the fact that two skinny distance guys shut down a all-you-can-eat pizza buffet is something I'll never forget.

Very good point. I've done that many times. I prefer the Veggie Lovers pan at Pizza Hut but no chance that will ever show up on the buffet unless I ask for it.

The good thing about that selection is that it isn't particularly popular with the masses so I have time to make additional trips before it is gone. The secretaries on lunch break may pick at it but the guys are looking for sausage on top of pepperoni.

Sometimes at least 75% of buffet pizzas have sausage on them. It must be cheap enough and popular enough.

Once my college cross country team headed for a pizza buffet. One guy told us to get ready, he was putting on a show. He ate a SHOCKING quantity of pizza. Toward the end, he was groaning as he held his stomach, but he kept eating. We all watched in stunned silence at his display of gluttony.

Finally, we walked out. We turned around and he was bent over puking his guts out right there in the parking lot. When he finished, he wiped his mouth off, grinned ear to ear, and asked where we were going next.

Amazing.

Did a raid on a Chinese restaurant after last race of Xc in college. Third visit to buffet table this tiny little old woman comes out from the back waving her arms and yelling: no 'mo' pho U, no mo' fo' U" even though sign said : "all you can eat"

Its all about the dessert pizza at pizza hut

A thrower on my college team got kicked out of a CiCi's Pizza for completely wrecking their buffet.

9/10 I enjoyed reading that

Cavanaugh's in Philly. $5 at the door, $5 pitchers of lager and all you can eat pizza. The cheese only extended about half of the radius, so we would each get a pitche, stand by the trash can and throw away the non-cheesy part before grabbing another slice.

Make a snowman out of the pizza crust, they will love you for it.

RIP Straw Hat 1980

35 slices at Cici's fresh yr of high school = GOAT

Back in the day a few of us middle distance guys, a couple of throwers and a hurdler would hit the Wednesdsy night all you can eat at Shakeys. Other diners would be laughing and cheering as we laid waste to the buffet.

Way back in college, a teammate and I got kicked out of a CiCi's buffet. We had just finished a tough workout, and we consumed round after round of pizza, then turned our attention to the desserts. After finishing off two entire pans of brownies, the manager angrily shouted that we were abusing the system and we had to leave now. I had horrible, explosive diarrhea the next morning.

I regret nothing. Yolo.

Think I read about one of these "all you can eat" deals in UK some months ago. And today another.
