My wife suggested a pizza place she passed by the other day while driving through Deerfield Beach. When I finally found the shopping center a couple of days later, I assumed she meant All Star Pizza. All Star Pizza is located on 1315 S. Military Trail in Deerfield Beach, Fl 954.481.3455.
Upon walking into this establishment, I wasn’t too impressed with the decor. After waiting a couple of minutes at the counter, someone came and asked me “yes”, now I am not sure if this meant something like “what would you like today”, or even “what can I get you”. So just taking a guess that Yes meant one of these, I asked for a slice.
After paying I asked if I could have a receipt (you know all these pizza tastings add up come tax time) and he looked at me like I was some sort of idiot. Like by me asking for a simple receipt, ruined his day. Oh no! What is he supposed to do, actually take out a pad and manually have to write 1 slice $…. ? If this is the Yes guy that works there with the bald head, sorry to have troubled you this day by making you do something extra. Excellent customer service buddy!
Eventually he left to go do something else that must have been very hard, like maybe moving a can of soda from the counter to the trash, or maybe figuring out how to use the phone. When the slice came out a more energetic guy gave me it and actually smiled, which was very unique for this place. If the pizza sucked, I would have enjoyed continuing on the things I disliked about this place, but the pizza was actually pretty good. It was nothing amazing that would make me travel out of my way to go there, but if I was in the area, compared to the other places located around it, this place would be my place of choice.
All Star Pizza has bubbles in their pizza, which I do not care for. The guy making the pizza seemed to actually care about the pies and ingredients he was using on them, so I am a bit shocked he didn’t open the oven to pop the bubbles. The crust had a nice taste and was crispy. The cheese was adequate and the sauce was put on perfectly and evenly!
All Star Pizza gets 5 out 8 slices. Hopefully during my next visit I will not ask for a recipt and things should go better.
Also guys, spend a few hundred bucks and redo your website, it looks terrible!

So, Sunday I was driving my son around with my wife, when he started his usual “I’m Hungry” chant. Since we were heading down in the Deerfield Beach vicinity, I suggest maybe he wants Red Caboose BoxCar Burgers, which is our White Castle equivilant of South Florida. When we got to The Red Caboose I was quite surprised that they closed on Sundays. The very day most people will pick up sacks of burgers for the football games, they choose to be closed. Lucky this isn’t a site about worst burgers.
We ended up driving into the shopping center across from The Red Caboose and that is when my son noticed CICI’s Pizza Buffet. He has loved going to this place since he was a baby. It is loud, he can eat instantly, and he gets to watch cartoons while eating. Does it really get any better then this for a child? But wait, if you answered yes, I should mention they also get to play video games when done eating as well. How can you go wrong with a $4.99 all you can eat buffet (I think it is only $2.99 for children). Even though the cheese tastes like some oil concoction, and the sauce is like chef boyardee, it still tastes better then some places that charge that same $4.99 for a single slice of crap. Places like peace a pizza fail in comparison to this pizza buffet.
Personally I got the deep dish plain pizza, which I special ordered from the cashier. A nice thing about Cici’s Pizza, is you can custom order any dish or pizza and they will make you as many or as little as you want. My son quickly devourered the spinch slice and the white pizza which he seems to enjoy. He then washes it down with their dessert pizza, which consists of several choices. They have apple pie, chocolate fudge and some other thing I couldn’t tell what it was. I do not really like their regular pizza, so if you happen to be stuck going to Cici’s Pizza, make sure to order the deep dish.
Let me just clafiy my view on this place one more time. In no way am I suggesting you go and eat there (unless you enjoy having the runs), but if you can accept that you get what you pay for, heck, even more then what you paid for, you might want to eat there. Especially if you are on a budget. I will give Cici’s Pizza in Deerfield Beach 3 out of 8 slices.
