Default CiCi's - Now Village Pizza

CiCi's in the Colony Plaza is now Village Pizza. Same owner and staff and it looks like it hasn't changed, other then the name.

I was at Colony Plaza tonight (stopped at Peachwave Yogurt - mmmm). The sign has not been changed yet -- still says CiCi's Pizza.

I went to the Cici's website and did a zip code search to see if the Colony Plaza location came up. It didn't!

Sign "is" still Cici's but if you go in you will get the greeting "Welcome to Villages Pizza". Think they're in transition!

Villages Pizza-----original name and if the pizza lives up to their new name IMHO it would be terrific. CC'S food was "so so" at best. We should know something in a few weeks.

CiCi's being a chain I'm guessing the owner was locked into their ingredients and their menu. It will be interesting to see what they do to with both.

Any change would be an improvement over what they serve now. Last time I ate there it was a step below gas station pizza. IMHO

I'm glad he's removed himself from the chain. The owner has been very accommodating to TOTV requests. I've been going there since they opened.

We asked him (TOTV members through me) to put signs above the pizzas so we would know what they were, and he did. We asked him to add more side items in the salad bar, and he did. We asked him to stop the clean up cart from making so much noise while cleaning up tables, and he did!!!! A great guy listening to customers.

Now I'm hoping he will add more to the pasta section instead of corkscrew pasta and ketchup (LOL) and make that more appetizing.

I wish him much success and will continue to go there. I lost 40 lbs by eating his salad bar, 2 pieces of his garlic rolls and diet coke... Quick, convenient and cheap...

You can tell, I love that place.

Congratulations on your willpower. It couldn't have been easy losing weight in an "all you can eat" pizza place!

It will be interesting to see how it changes. I'm bummed I didn't use up all my freebie cards before the change. Now it is too late.

Last time we were there, there was a poker tournament in the back of the room. Haven't been back.

I hope the owner can replicate CiCi's rustic pizza. It was our favorite! Our 8 year old grandson will be disappointed if he doesn't offer yummy brownies and sticky buns. Nathan would always eat a good dinner just so he could get his favorite desserts. Time will tell.

I hope the owner stays and is very successful. He is a very generous man as far as donating to charity. He donates pizza to the Special Needs Kids when the Streetrod club takes them for cart rides at the Polo field. Im talking about 100 or more kids. He is the father of a special needs child. So I wish him great success.

As a retired teacher, this warms my heart. I wish him success (and still hope he makes the rustic pizza, brownies, and sticky buns...lol)
