Family Fun at Incredible Pizza in Urbandale

Last Monday we loaded the family, invited cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents and went to Incredible Pizza for an evening of food and fun.

Great Games

The first thing you notice when you walk into Incredible Pizza is how huge it is.  It sits on the corner of 86th and Douglas where Albertson’s grocery store once was.  The number of games is, well, incredible.  And there was fun for everyone.  Caelan loved the mini merry-go-round while Brenna found the games that required a bit more skill enticing.

Attractions

And then there are the attractions. Bumper cars, race cars, black light mini golf, mini bowling…Plenty to keep you occupied.

Buffet

Of course the place is called Incredible Pizza, so you know there is food.  And not just pizza, but a buffet that included a nice salad bar, tacos, nachos, meatloaf, chicken nuggets, potatoes, soups, cookies and brownies (and more).  Everything we had was really quite good; better than I expected, to be honest.

Where you sit to eat brings more choices than you might imagine.  Our large group was placed in the “family room” which had a TV playing classics like The Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan’s Island.

The Drive In

Also available are the “gymnasium”: a very large room with cafeteria style tables, the television was playing Blues Clues when I passed; the “diner”, styled like a 50’s diner; and the “drive in” which is dark and plays a classic, Viva Las Vegas was the movie when we visited.

Fun like this doesn’t come cheap, though there are ways to save.  We had purchased two Restaurant.com coupons a while back that saved us $25 on food.  Incredible Pizza also has special deals that combine food and games.  Monday and Tuesday have the best deals and all deals require a buffet purchase.  (FYI these offers are only good at the Urbandale, Iowa location.)

Of course a place like this does birthday parties.  They also have “Mommy (or Daddy) and Me” Monday-Friday.

All in all it was a lot of fun and the girls can’t wait to return.  OK, I’m looking forward to going back, too.
