It would have been absolutely asinine for me not to try the all you can eat pizza and salad bar for $11.38!   Let’s get the non-pizza items out of the way quickly… Woody’s has free popcorn, which I dislike based on the fact that I worked in a bar that had free popcorn, and when it’s free, the numbers break down like this.    50% makes it in the mouth of the consumer, 35% ends up on floor, and 15% in various other odd spots.  Their salad bar was decent, and featured a solid pasta salad with artichokes, that found its way onto 2 of my 4 servings.  The salad bar also offers made from scratch beer cheese soup, but due to my limited experience with that product, my overall baseline was determined to be too weak for assessment.   Let’s talk about the pizza!  I ended up housing 7 slices in 4 servings, which proves that I enjoyed the product.  They use 100% mozzarella cheese, and it is distributed in proper fashion.  The crust is garlic kissed, and puffy enough to be considered for bread stick potential when you reach the end of your slice.  The sauce has enough presence to participate in the flavor, and they use agreeable toppings.  The all you can eat deal presents a fair rotation of pizzas at all times, making sure to keep a respectable mix of classics, multi toppers, and specialty pies.  My servers name was Scooter (which rules) and he happened to be very friendly, just like everyone on their staff.   You might want to go during off hours, or you can expect to wait.  One last reason to love the all you can eat for $11.38 is that it is offered ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!
