Cicis Continues $5.99 Buffet Deal Through December 30

The Monday-Tuesday offer keeps a valuable offer on the calendar through late December.

September 23, 2026 • National • BY BUFFET AUTHORITY

Cicis is keeping one of its most familiar value plays on the calendar through late December, with a $5.99 adult buffet available Mondays and Tuesdays at participating restaurants. The offer is scheduled to run through December 30, giving guests nearly three more months to start the week with unlimited pizza, pasta, salad, appetizers and desserts.

The promotion is available through the Cicis app and Cicis Rewards, with the discounted buffet offered in-store at participating locations. Current deal terms allow up to four discounted adult buffets per party. Cicis’ standard adult buffet starts at $9.99, although pricing varies by restaurant, so the Monday-Tuesday offer can represent a meaningful cut from the usual price.

Rewards itself is still relatively new territory for a chain that has been serving buffet pizza for more than four decades. Cicis launched its first national loyalty program in late 2025, drew more than 500,000 members in its first month and passed one million members by June. For diners, the program is straightforward: members can earn points toward rewards, receive exclusive offers and a birthday surprise, while new members currently receive a $3.99 adult buffet after signing up. That welcome offer is valid Monday through Friday and must be used within 30 days.

The current $5.99 deal also fits a pattern. Cicis has repeatedly used discounted Monday-and-Tuesday buffet pricing to pull traffic into the quieter front half of the week, including recurring $4.99 promotions in 2023 and 2024 and $5.99 versions during 2025 and 2026. At this point, the early-week buffet special is less a one-off coupon than a recurring piece of the chain’s value calendar.

Cicis opened its first restaurant in Plano, Texas, in 1985 and built its identity around a simple proposition: one price, repeated trips to the buffet and enough pizza variety to make another plate seem perfectly reasonable. Its current U.S. locator lists 271 restaurants across 21 states, with Texas accounting for roughly half of the system.

For buffet regulars, the immediate news is uncomplicated: the $5.99 Monday-Tuesday deal is not disappearing with summer. It is set to remain in place almost through New Year’s Eve, which leaves plenty of Tuesdays between now and then for anyone who views ‘one more slice’ as a scheduling decision rather than a question.
