Chez Joey's has opened where Mr. Gatti's used to be, near the south end
of Promenade shopping center on Coit, a little north of Beltline in
Richardson. They got rid of the space where Mr. Gatti's had games for
kids, and repainted the inside.

Menu is similar to Mr. Gatti's, but with more items and more items
standard on the buffet. Unlike Gatti's, drinks are now extra instead of
being included in the buffet price.

Pizza is good and the staff is consistently extremely friendly and very
anxious to make whatever you'd like. Desserts are better than Gatti's,
in our opinion.

They don't list a Senior price on the menu, but they have one for people
that qualify and it is a very good deal.

Does this mean it's less infested with the little screamers? My
tolerance for rampaging hellspawn is limited these days.

We've been there twice since it reopened and have only seen one child
there, a boy about about 10. The game room and prizes that made Gatti's
attractive for parents with young children is gone.

Is it better quality pizza than Cici's?

Sorry, but - well, that's like asking if something's better
than a cold cat turd.

When I came to Texas, it was for a job with TI. I had my
pick of two. Group A offered me the job after a phone
interview (as I'd already interviewed in person with their
San Jose office). Group B flew me down here for an inter-
view, and took me to lunch at Cici's in Richardson. That's
one of the reasons (certainly not the only one) I went with
Group A.

I think every place is better quality than Cici's.

Incredible! Or maybe there was a hidden message there. If they took
you to Cici's either their budget was so low they couldn't afford you,
or they hoped you would reach the conclusion that you did reach. Either
way, they certainly weren't trying to make a good impression - although
the staff at Cici's in Richardson has been very friendly the few times
we've been there.

I think the Incredible Pizza Company on 183 in Euless may actually be
worse. Apart from that, no argument.

I tried it once. Between the Tongans and the "It takes a village"
parents who let their screaming hell spawn run wild, I could not get a
slice of pepperoni for 30 minutes. Salad bar was ok.

Seriously, pizza buffets should only be compared to frozen pizza.

They tried to have a wide variety of things on the food bar in addition
to pizza, and it all pretty much was awful. Sort of Golden Corral
minus, which should be very telling.

The food was really not the worst part, though. Perhaps it was just my
experience. I hate to sound elitist, but I really felt uncomfortable
having my daughter around some of the customers in the place, and it's a
place really meant for kids. Between the teenagers trying to hook up
between the video games and some of the trashy parents yelling f-bombs
at each other near the go-karts (not making this up), I'm out.
