This thread is cracking me up.

I moved to NC from NJ over 2 yrs ago and The Emissary hit the nail on the head. People here think Papa John's & Cici's are real pizza.

Any "buffett" style pizza is not good quality. Its really marketed to young kids because its cheap, readily available and small slices.......but its on the level (in terms of quality) of somewhere between Cat and Dog Food.....You could substitute Domino's, Papa John's, & Donato's for Cici's...same thing

It MAY do well in certain areas actually where people are looking to feed their kids something cheap and dirty (kind of like Mickey D's dollar menu stuff).....

Just my honest .02

I just asked my hubby how bad it is. He's gone to one in Badin with the granddaughter.

He said it wasn't bad, said you had to get there early when the stuff was fresh.
He said for the money it was ok since you could have all you wanted.

He may have been so happy to see GD that he didn't pay attention to anything except her being happy. lol

You proved my point.

Cici's and the rest of them are more about quantity than quality.

Chuck-e-Cheese does well here and their pizza is hardly gourmet - soft and sweet and geared towards little kids.

If the OP picks an area where people have less money, the shop has a decent play area/arcade area for kids (birthday parties would be a good source of revenue) and avoids the biggest Italian neighborhoods, he may just be able to do it. Parents of young kids are always looking for somewhere they can take them.

Original Poster...I don't think it would be wise to open up a mediocre pizza chain in Bayonne.

Does anyone really know what anyone really wants? I remember being out in Southern California several times, and wondering why Taco Bell was so popular. San Diego is flooded with excellent local mom and pop Mexican restaurants. However, a lot of people do go into Taco Bell; which sucks beyond belief.

I would not open a Cici's Pizza anywhere in New Jersey, New York City, or Philadelphia. Try Delaware, it may be a better location for this type of establishment.
