"My family went to Village Inn on a weeknight and found them quite busy. Since the pandemic we have been wary of buffets, so we passed on the all you can eat pizza in favor of just the salad bar and ordered a “Chicago style” pepperoni pizza instead. The salad bar was well stocked and clean I enjoyed mine. The pizza, however, was another story. The crust appeared to be store bought, and was barely thicker than their thin crust pizzas on the buffet. It had maybe 7 pepperonis on it, and worst of all the cheese had a funky, somewhat sour aftertaste. Maybe the buffet pizzas are their bread and butter and where they shine, but what I was served doesn’t justify ever going back again. In my opinion, any of the major pizza chains in Lenoir serves better fare than Village Inn."
