Primo's Pizza & Pasta

If you think the food here is "average," try ordering something special. The staff is more than willing to whip up specialty pizzas ranging from artichokes and spinach to the delicious buffalo chicken. My latest concoction is the white sauce and either all-meat or supreme. I much prefer the white sauce here to just about any pizza sauce in town.

No secret that this is my favorite splurge (on calories). I go here far too often, and my waistline has only me to blame. The food is always good (usually fresh, but if you drop in at opening there's usually nothing available yet; if you're within 45 minutes of closing, you'll definitely want to ask for something new).

The decor is nothing special, and the games have a tendency to eat quarters (I understand the staff can't address the issue, but my daughter and I put $1.75 in a machine while an employee was standing next to us advising us to try it again... and still wouldn't refund the money it ate until a repairman arrived). That's the -only- customer service issue I've ever experienced here, and as a foodie who's been all over Boise, it's saying something.

Prices keep going up, which is saddening. I understood the price increase when they added BSU football games, but since most evening games go past store hours, it sucks to have to leave in the late 3rd to 4th quarter. Just about every restaurant -except- Primos that pays to show the game would stay open till it's over. So, don't go for evening games.

Latest price increase has me befuddled. I can only guess (as a former businessman and now business writer), that it's to cover the new discounts for children on Mondays and Seniors on Tuesdays. Nothing else seems to have changed.

The new price puts it on par with most other food buffets in town. Chuck, Corral, Din Fung, those other Chinese... but it's the only pizza buffet left (not excluding lunch buffets at the Hut and Idaho Pizza), and if you go specialty, you won't go wrong.

Never have bad service! Everyone acts like they LOVE their job, even if they don't. They ask you what kind of pizza you want and they bring it to you! I enjoy going there, not only to stuff my face with good pizza, that they load with cheese, and super good dessert pizza, and VERY yummy salad bar [one of the best I ever had], but for the SERVICE. The people that work there are super nice and do what ever they can for you.\

I went to The Idaho Pizza Company to eat at their buffet. I don't eat meat and I don't like peppers and onions on my pizza. When I asked the server if they could make a mushroom and tomato pizza, she said to me: "Um.... We probably won't do that." I said I didn't eat meat and she said they could make a veggie, but when I said I didn't like peppers and onions, she gave me a look of disgust and said: "You don't eat vegetables either?" I just wanted something besides plain cheese and they wouldn't make it for me. Actually, besides the plain cheese they did make, everything had bacon on it. And not only was the service very poor [everyone was basically outright rude, not caring at all if we ever came back again, which I won't be! EVER.], but the pizza wasn't that great either and the salad bar was mediocre.

So we decided to try Primo's because it was less money and the first thing that happened when we walked in and ordered: the server asked us what kind of pizza we wanted. I asked for a mushroom and tomato pizza and he said: "Sounds great. We'll have that right out for you." And not one time since has any employee ever been rude or inconsiderate. I like that I can go there, have whatever pizza I ask them to make [and it's actually good pizza!], and I literally get to eat to my hearts content in a kind atmosphere. I always eat way too much dessert pizza.

Very average and that is about the best I can say.
