We had a great time at John’s Incredible Pizza in Roseville celebrating our 15 year old’s birthday with several friends. Here are the highlights…The buffet format allowed us to avoid time spent calculating what flavor pizza, how much pizza, and how much soda to order. The game tokens came preloaded onto cards – no dividing up coins. The variety of the foods made everyone happy with their meal (kids, adults, and those with severe food allergies). It had all the latest video games, amusement style rides, and interactive games (from trivia quizzes to “Deal or No Deal” and carnival style watergun races). We were assigned a hostess who handled all of the tedious details such as refilling pitchers of soda, cutting and serving the cake, organizing the presents and cleanup so that the adults could enjoy the party and take pictures. The facility is HUGE. That’s a good thing since all 10 party rooms were filled (14-18 people each) and the 5 other dining halls had lots of diners as well. It felt crowded, but the only lines were for the fresh donuts and ice cream. The place was crawling with employees. When two of our guests had trouble with a video game, an employee was right there to help. And the (not so) lowlights…The delicious fresh mini donut machine couldn’t keep up with the crowd. These little treats are so tasty that there is always a line for them which kept me from eating my fill. (Oops - that might be a good thing!) The kids had to be pried away when we were ready to leave. Rounding all of them up would have exhausted the most dedicated Border Collie. Honestly, the kids weren’t ready to leave, but we had an hour drive home and stuff to do in the a.m., so we pushed and pulled to get them out the door. The more than 3+ hours we spent there seemed to fly by. The older generation suffered a bit of “overstimulation” and sorely needed a break. We were thankful for the ESPN style room with an adult décor, but it was still loud with several televisions showing sporting events. Although we would have loved an “adults only lounge” I appreciated seeing lots of families together – I didn’t see any disruptive or obnoxious kids.

John's Incredible Pizza - WOW!

Glad to see another 530 Blogger! John's Incredible Pizza is a great place. Good food, cool rooms, and tons of games. My niece loved the jump rope game.
