GRAND RAPIDS, MI — What’s better than pizza?

All you can eat pizza of course.

Fortunately for Grand Rapids residents, there’s a place where you can do just that. It may be easy to miss B.C. Pizza’s Grand Rapids location, which tucked away in the corner of Edison Plaza off Lake Michigan Drive on the west side of the city.

But anyone looking for quick, filling lunch for a value price is aware of the pizzeria’s weekday lunch buffet.

For $11.50, customers can help themselves to unlimited varieties of pizza, assorted breads, a fully stocked salad bar and a fountain beverage.

The buffet, which is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, is continuously stocked with different pizzas.

During my recent visit, traditional pies like pepperoni and deluxe, as well as specialty pies like BBQ chicken, bacon double cheeseburger, chicken parmazeti, taco and chicken bacon ranch were available.

The best part? If you don’t see the pizza you want, you can just put in a request with staff and they will make one fresh.

The location at 2034 Lake Michigan Drive is B.C. Pizza’s only location in Grand Rapids, but there are locations of the Michigan-based pizza chain nearby in Lowell and Greenville.

Chris and Wayne Nelson opened B.C. Pizza’s first store in Boyne City in 1988. There are now more than 30 locations across Michigan and several of them offer pizza buffets like the Grand Rapids location.

You can find a location near you, here.
