One ordinary weekday, not knowing what to have for lunch, I joined a couple of friends at Rotelli’s for lunch. The dishes ordered were: Eggplant parmigiana, baked ziti and chicken parmigiana.

Once a week I seek out new life, and new civilizations, and an endless supply of pizza. What is the solution to this overwhelming desire? The $4.99 Cici's Pizza buffet where pizza and pasta afficionados can bask in the glory of 24 feet of buffet items. Their selections include a panoply of pizza, salad, pasta and desserts. Customers may request the chefs make virtually any type of pizza they want, no matter how bizarre (I choose pepperoni deep dish with all the toppings).
