Kens Pizza, located in Tyler, TX, has been a beloved fixture for pizza enthusiasts since 1985. The restaurant is particularly renowned for its pizza buffet, offering a diverse selection that caters to all palates. Regulars like Robert Arthur express their loyalty, praising the hot and fresh offerings that make dining a joy for families.
One standout feature is the salad bar, highlighted by Robert Hurst as "CRAZY AWESOME!" With a plethora of fresh greens and toppings, including taco salad options and various dressings, it elevates the typical buffet experience. While the dessert selection can be hit-or-miss, the quality of the pizza consistently impresses.
Tim Jones emphasizes the establishment's reliability, commending the management for their dedication amidst workforce challenges. The recent renovations have not gone unnoticed, as shared by Johnny Iyaoyas, who noted the spacious atmosphere and well-stocked buffet.
With a little arcade area adding to the fun, Kens Pizza is more than just a meal; it's a place to create lasting memories with friends and family. Overall, I highly recommend this local gem for its consistently great pizza and vibrant dining experience.

I've been eating Kens since 1985. I enjoy it just as much now. Recent trips to the buffet have been fantastic. Pizza is hot and fresh and has been an enjoyable outing for me and my kids. Keep up the good work!!

Great pizza buffet. Tons of options to choose from at all times. There is a salad bar, then pizza, then dessert. Pizza is really good for buffet style and is the best one I have come across. The dessert is off and on for me. I like a few things but don’t like others. Don’t take that to say how good it might be because I’m don’t eat a whole lot of sweets anyway so saying there is some good probably means it’s really good. I see lots of people always getting things up there. The best part to me is the salad bar because usually at buffet style food places the salad bar is just basic. Here it is CRAZY AWESOME!!! lots of different chops of lettuce. ALL the fixings you could want on it including taco salad stuff. I believe there were 9 or 10 different sauces to choose from if you want. If there’s a salad bar at any buffet style place I always try that first and this was excellent. The price was 14 and some change for each adult. I don’t know if there are kid or senior prices. I’m sure you could look it up or call. Overall I definitely recommend trying here if you haven’t. This was my 4th time so I thought a review was good based on consistency. Thanks!

For years Kens (and Mazzios) in our area have been as consistent as any other restaurant around. I am dumbfounded to read some of the negative reviews that people put on this place! The management is doing all they can with the "employees" that are in the entry level market! The salad, pasta, and pizza buffet are not the largest in town, but I find it to be my favorite. I will continue to be a return patron as long as they are open. Support local business!

Really great place to get pizza buffet in the area. Food tastes very fresh and service is great too. They even have a little arcade area towards the back. Definitely come here for some great tasting pizza and a great time!

Wow, what an upgrade from the old building. The pizza was warm and tasty, the salad was fresh and the all you can eat bar was well stocked. Very spacious and all you can expect from a pizza bar. Had a great lunch. Highly recommend.

I personally like it better than CiCi's. There is more variety here and their salad bar is a propper salad bar.

This was my first time going to Ken’s since they’d moved & I was impressed. A big salad bar, pasta options, and a assortment of pizza. They do have some desserts, but nothing that jumps out at me. Also, they have a bigger arcade area for kids.

I'm giving 5 stars, but only because back in 1987 to 1989 we would go down to the waterfall, where we would go swimming and jumping off the falls into the swimming hole. My question today, is the falls still open to the public. I have not thought of Wolf Creek Lake and the falls in 36 years. Going to go back just for memories sake.
