After being a customer for 20 years (going with my family as a kid) I am unsure if we will be customers anymore. the quality of the food has drastically deteriorated. our last visit consisted of a Luke warm pizza with absolutely no crust on it. This visit tonight, we were given an orange pizza....a literal layer of grease just floating and dripping on top. the pizza was soggy and the amount of napkins that were needed to get just half the grease off was ridiculous. the wing sauce has changed as well and without notice. The signature red bbq wing sauce is no longer, now they have a cheap Kroger brand tasting bbq sauce. This was such a sad experience and I hope that I am wrong in saying, I don't see this place staying open much longer with quality like this.

Met some friends here for lunch. Food was only so so, I have a lasagna, wingsthe wings appear to be triple fried, like beef jerky wings. Five dollar pitcher of beer is a good deal. Probably won't be back.

We have been going to pink cricket for 30 years when Paul owned the restaurant you never left hungry or unhappy last night we left feeling both ordered a pizza at 7 got it at 8 and it was cold we had drinks while waiting and already pd the bill before the cold pizza came we didn't eat it we were offered another pizza but didn't want to wait they would not refund the pizza we gladly pd for drinks and tip but wanted the pizza refunded the manage declined. We will miss this place loved the people and the food but things have changed won't be going back ?

We ordered the big Paul's sausage sandwich and it was missing all the toppings, the chips were stale and missed the extra side ranch. Since the new ownership, the food has changed and we won't be back.

It took my husband four tries to get something they actually had available. I had a Ruben and it was the thinnest sandwich of this type I've ever had...I know it's under a new owner. He needs to do better with this stable established restaurant.
Just not worth writing home about. Met friends who had already ordered the chicken wings. Our server delivered breaded, fried, and sauce-soaked wings to the table with no plates or silverware (or handy-wipes). Got the plates myself. Walked to the bar to ask for silverware. The wings were cooked well. The sauce was standard buffalo sauce. I ordered the barbecued chicken pizza and added onion (because the server didn't "think" there were onions on the pizza) and banana peppers. Red onion is usually standard and was missed. The soggy white onion in the pizza was no treat. Also, the pizza was delivered, as ordered, but with canned mushrooms added. I've NEVER had canned mushrooms (or fresh mushrooms) ever on a barbecued chicken pizza, anywhere. Our server said "that's the way it comes". The barbecue sauce was barely noticeable or taste-able. I did like the thin crust and "the cook" on the pizza. Nice crisp edges. NOTE TO OWNER: Put descriptions of what's on your specialty pizzas ON THE MENU. And, bring plates/silverware to the table immediately AFTER ordering appetizers. That way it isn't forgotten. Sloppy, sauced wings deserve a wipe or two delivered with the wings, also. My friends split a hoagie, salads, and a basket of fries. Condiments were't offered. There were none on the table. So, I found the ketchup and malted vinegar my friends wanted for the fries. Though they seemed like real fresh cut fries, had potential, and looked good upon arrival, they were undercooked in the middle and limp. My friends split the hoagie and enjoyed it. The side salads were sparse, uneventful, and iceberg lettuce only. The beer was cold. The mugs were frosted. Prices were good for the beer, but a bit high for the quality of the food. Reasonable overall. The server seemed stressed, though they weren't full.

I've had better frozen pizza. Looked like it was under a heat lamp for 1/2 hour. And tasted like it too. Was never like this when Paul owned it. If the pics look like it's dry and chewy, that's because it was.

If I could give it zero Stars, I would. Since the latest change of ownership, this formerly iconic restaurant has gone sharply downhill. Pink Cricket Pizza has been one of my favorites since I was a kid.This is our second try since the new ownership.With intrepidation, after the last very bad experience with their take out, we decided to give it one more shot. I called in an order for a large pepperoni pizza and chicken tenders.I was told it would be 30-35min. My husband arrived within 20 minutes. It was a Saturday night and almost no one else was in the place... no one at the bar and a couple of tables with people. He ordered a beer and waited at the bar. Another couple came in, ordered a pizza and appetizers, and had their food on the table while my husband was still sitting there waiting... So, closing in on an hour since I called the order in, they offered him another beer, so he asks if his order is ready yet. They said they'd go check and brought out a pizza. He paid and almost left, but realized they didn't give him the tenders. Got the tenders and headed home. When we opened the food, it was obvious someone forgot he was sitting there waiting because everything was cold and dried out. The pizza had barely any sauce, was overdone, dried out and had not at all the flavor of the original Pink Cricket Pizza. Like, you take a bite and you just chew and chew and chew and it won't go down. Horrible. I don't have anything good to do say about the dried out chicken tenders either. Won't ever go back.
