A great place to blow $30, eat a ton and have fun!

My son has a new favorite location. It's not technically Sacramento, but it's close enough that he does not complain once about being in the car. If you have kids under 40 you must take them to the new John's Incredible Pizza!

Located in the old Sam's Club building in Roseville, just off the Atlantic St. exit, you'll find fun, food and entertainment. John's has some of the best pizza I've ever had, especially considering it's mass produced buffet style. The Garlic Alfredo is worth the drive alone! For $6.49 at lunch or $8.49 dinner and weekends, you'll be treated to all-you-can-eat buffet of pizzas galore, a large salad bar, breadsticks, pastas, desserts and ice cream. You'll load up your tray and sit in one of the theme rooms from cartoons to cabins, techno to calm and quiet. The cartoon room is our favorite because we can eat and chat while the little man watches a few cartoons that are generally kid appropriate.

After you are stuffed to the brim, venture into the gaming room where you can play a variety of games, bowl, ride a few rides and gamble for tickets. You can purchase individual credits on a card or just go for the gusto and get the $24.95 fun card with a ton of credits on it. There are many choices and the place is much cleaner than any Chuck E Cheese I've ever seen. Little man loves that the games give out tons of tickets too so you can buy cool prizes at the end.

If you're looking for an alternative to the same movie and coffee date, JIP could easily be a fun and exciting date night as well! My husband and I could easily spend an evening there playing games, dueling on the mini-bowling alley or battling bad guys in the teen/adult games in the back.
