Papa's Pizza To Go

This is not a 5-star pizza establishment by any stretch of the imagination. The pizza is what you would expect at this price point. However I will have to say everything I tried (which was 2 well 3 or 4 of everything) was pretty darn good. But what made me give it 5 stars was they have mastered a simple concept that most establishments fail at. They nailed the customer service aspect. From the minute I walked in the door I felt that I was actually welcomed there and that the staff wanted to make my visit pleasurable. Sandy who was working the floor made a buffet restaurant seem like it had table service. Hats off to her for just being a wonderful person. Heck, the manager even stopped by the table to ask me how things were. Although I think he may have thought I was having a medical emergency when in fact I was just suffering from I ate too stinking much...

To start, the atmosphere is inviting. You walk in and it reminded me of a cleaner Chuck-E-Cheese. I ordered 3 buffets and the prices was 41 bucks, not bad at all for a pizza buffet. They immediately asked what pizza we would like on the bar and were very inviting. We then went to the bar and started grabbing some slices. They had a small selection but brought out a pizza/pizza-adjacent food almost every 2 minutes. Getting to the food, it was great for what your expect from pizza buffets, fresher and better quality than others. All in all, we will be back whenever we come up to Elijay again. Absolutely recommend!

My family has been eating here for years. While the food has never been 5 star, the service has always been exceptional, until last Saturday. We ordered the buffet, as usual. It happened to be Apple festival weekend, so I was surprised there weren't alot of people there. Also, I assume, the food would be fresh , in anticipation of all the tourists. Well, there was practically nothing on the bar. What was there , was so hard and nasty, I spit it back out! I am not a picky eater. I put in a request when we paid and a good number of people walked in behind us ( including party goers) So, I thought food would be coming out soon. We sat there for over half an hour before making the decision to leave. On the way out the door,they started bringing out food 😡A couple sitting across from us also got tired of the service and left before us. Never in my life have I left an all you can eat buffet hungry!! I don't know if it's the price of food ( maybe they were ordered to not stock the buffet,or throw out old food) or if it was bad workers,or just an off day? I do know, it will be a very long time before I take a chance of trying it again.Which sucks because I used to really like them.
