We recently visited the America’s Incredible Pizza Company in Memphis, Tennessee. This location is just 1 of 9 locations throughout the U.S. and Mexico. America’s Incredible Pizza Company is a great place for hours of family fun. There are so many attractions including tons of video games, bumper cars, laser tag, go karts, XD Theater and the Incredible Spin Roller Coaster. Not bad when you factor in the all you can eat buffet, which includes beverage (Priced between $6.99 (kids 6-12) - $9.99 for adults and there’s a $7.99 Lunch Special for adults available Monday – Friday between the hours of 11 AM – 4 PM). The salad bar area was clean and there was plenty of staff on hand to make sure there was a rotation of fresh food items on the buffet. Surprisingly, the three boys and an old lady pretty much piled some pizza on a plate, took a few bites and bolted straight for the game area.  Hubby and moi, on the other hand, enjoyed the pasta selections and the pizza varieties an...
