Review: Located on Lafayette’s south side, this pizza king is a real treat for kids. I haven’t visited Lafayette’s other Pizza King locations, but this one is quite nice.  It’s new and very clean.  There are two dining areas, one large one with tables and booths, and then another row of booths down a hallway.  These are the fun booths.  Each booth has a solid wall on one side, which has a TV that you can turn on for $0.25 and then a window where you can watch the toy train go by.  It’s not just a toy, though – that train delivers your drinks!   The kids get such a kick out of getting their drinks from the train.

If you sit in the dining room, you place your order at the counter up front and they bring your pizza out to you.  If you are in a train booth, you place your order via speaker and they deliver your drinks by train and your starters to your table.  Then they will call  you when your pizza is ready for pick up. It’s a really fun system.

On to the food – well, it’s pizza.  Thin crust pizza mostly, cut into squares.  I know it’s very popular among a lot of people, but to me, it’s just super greasy.  (I know, that’s why people like it!) The breadsticks and garlic bread are very good, and my grilled chicken salad was quite tasty, even if it consisted mostly of iceburg lettuce.  They could use a few more salad dressing choices as well.  The menu has sandwiches on it as well, though we’ve never tried those.

It’s a fun restaurant to dine at, although I’m not sure it’s one I’d pick if I was dining out with no kids.  Definitely a good time.
