A family-friendly pizza night at Cicis turned into an all-out food fight straight out of a pro wrestling ring, with plates, dishes, and buffet grub flying as shocked customers, including kids, ducked for cover.
Video captured inside the restaurant on Thursday shows a massive brawl exploding near the buffet line, where multiple people shoved, swung, and hurled stacks of white plates and food across the dining area.
Patrons in hoodies, tank tops and casual gear screamed and scrambled as the chaos unfolded, with one woman in a colorful dress and others in plaid and athletic wear caught up in the melee. Broken plates littered the floor while bystanders, including families trying to enjoy their meal, watched in disbelief.
Social media reactions poured in fast and furious, with users noting the demographics of those involved and calling for arrests, hefty fines and accountability.“Arrest every mofo that tossed anything,” one commenter demanded. Others lamented the decline of public spaces, asking why everyday spots like pizza buffets have become battlegrounds.
This isn’t the first time a Cicis location has seen headlines for drama, but Thursday’s incident hits especially hard as parents look for safe, affordable places to take the kids.
Cicis Pizza, known for its all-you-can-eat pizza, pasta, and salad bars, has locations across the country that cater to budget-conscious families. Management at the specific store has not yet commented publicly on the brawl.
