CiCi's Pizza - Hermitage TN — customer humiliating

Valerie Review updated: Apr 13, 2020

Cici's Pizza - www.cicispizza.com
4451 Lebanon Pike, Hermitage - [protected]

My family entered the Hermitage, Tennessee CiCi's Pizza restaurant, and my wife, who is physically unable to stand comfortably, seated herself at an empty table while my son and I went to the register to place our order. Moments later the manager confronted my wife at the table and ordered her out of her seat. She pointed to my son and me at the register, and explained that we were placing our order and would join her momentarily. The arrogant manager told her that the seats were for customers who have already paid, not customers who are saving seats. My wife was totally embarrassed and humiliated, and we decided to leave the restaurant. Although we have dined there hundreds of times, we will never return. Cici's needs to provide this manager with some sensitivity training for helping customers with physical disabilities, not humiliating them.

I think you should def. call the corporate office and file a formal complaint. That was totally unnecessary.

I wouldn't go back into the CiCi's Pizza in Hermitage located at [ 4451 Lebanon Pike, Hermitage - (615) 232-0950 ] again if my life depended on it.

I am leaglly blind and have a service dog and the [email protected]#$%$#@ manager that was on duty one night told me I am NOT allowed in there with my dog. The next day I went back to talk to the owner and he told me I need pappers from the Health department. I went and got them, gave them to keep and then about a week later one afternoon went back there again to eat and now I am told that I am refused service, not my dog.

This place should be closed and put out of business. Not only are the people that work there lazy, but the food is cold, dried out and the place is always dirty. NEVER any hand sope in the mens rest room.

If any one thinks this is a BS message, go look for you self.

There was no pizza, and the pizza that was there was old. Worst buffet experience ever. I attached a picture for you to see that I am not exaggerating.

My sister is said to have lost her job because she was in the hospital tending to my nephew's broken arm. She has worked for your company for years made many sacrifices in the last 15 years for your business. I am just disgusted so that is how you oh well your companies to be run.

On saturdays there are kids in the back that help their parents. They also touch the food. Also there is a girl that busses and she goes around asking people for money and also telling people she has bed bugs and lice.

Every time I try to call this location to order pizza I can't get through. I hear it's the phone, but after 4 months with the same problem. I've determined the staff is taking the phone off of the hook to reduce the work load. If you don't want the business, no worries. There are plenty of other options in this market.

I've dealt with too much from CC's.
CC's new order policy demanding a drink be purchased when ordering a Pizza, LEAVES ME COLD.
What? No more Speciality Pizza's AND you demand I order a drink along with a Pizza.
SEE YA, Gary Harvey

This complaint is a little out of the ordinary, and I have screenshots to back it up. Your employee that claims to be a general manager at one of your stores in north Texas (Travis Cooper Pierce) beat a woman that tried to give him a ride. Pictures of her face are all over my facebook newsfeed.

Ive been here 20 minutes with my family and there is little to no pizza on the buffet line. As soon az pizza is cooked...its gone...due to no pizzas on buffet line and high demand. Very limited staff for a slow tuesday night. Very disappointed in the service and food choice.
