John's Incredible Pizza, Not Just for Kids

Established in 1996, John’s Incredible Pizza was created to provide an alternative for dining entertainment for children with the consideration for adult entertainment as well. John’s Incredible Pizza is a fast food pizzeria in a large setting with pizza, pasta, soup, salad, and desert buffets. It’s basically a family orientated dining facility spread out over 60,000 square feet in each of its restaurants. Although it can be a fun place for adults with our without kids, it does not have an outlandish bar like a Dave & Busters might have, and it is not quite as toddler-audience orientated as Chucky Cheese. John’s Incredible Pizza finds a middle ground between the two entertainment restaurants.

While John’s Incredible Pizza offers variety of different pizza’s to choose from, they are notably famous for their Spicy Peanut Butter and Alfredo pizza. Other creative pizzas available are the Macaroni Pizza, Cheeseburger Pizza, Fiesta Pizza, BBQ Chicken Ranch and Garlic Pesto Pizza, the Nacho Cheese Pizza, along with the typical traditional pizzas are available to choose from as well.

Even though pizza is their main commodity, they have an assortment of other menu options to choose from, including two different soups that vary on a daily basis. They also have traditional spaghetti with meat marina sauce and fettuccini with Alfredo sauce, macaroni and cheese, and other pasta creations. For a daily dose of fiber, JIP has a 40 item salad bar that is very impressive for a pizzeria buffet.

To end a fulfilling meal, the desert bar is a sure way to complete the experience. The desert bar includes an array of assorted cakes, cookies, and soft serve ice cream.

As if it may appear they have it all, the taste test can make or break the opinion of their customers. For an affordable price of $8.99 for adults and on nights and weekends, and a price of $3.99 on up for children with an all you can eat buffet, one cannot expect hand tossed, freshly made pizza dough, and sauce to be prepared on a daily basis. Instead, the dough is frozen, and the sauces are premade, and toppings are minimal in proportion, but the flavors are not sacrificed. Their pizza is best enjoyed when a freshly baked pizza is served hot. This is the absolute best way to enjoy their pizza.

To top off the evening, enjoy a few hours playing with the kids or with friends in Fun World. Fun World is an arcade and miniature amusement park. Many of the games are arcade style and ticket games to redeem for prizes at the prize booth. Not all John’s Incredible Pizza’s have all the amusement rides, but some may include bumper cars, Twister ride, Express roller coaster, Go Kart Speedway, a bowling ally, and the glow-the-dark miniature golf.

For a listing of which rides are available in each of the nine locations in California, go to the John’s Incredible Pizza website.
