Don't want to cook dinner or need somewhere to host a party? Look no further than Potter's Pizza with two convenient locations in Graham & Abilene, TX!
Reviewed By Richard S
Potter's Pizza is in the initial phase of establishing itself as a destination restaurant. The owner took a space that once was a an exercise gym and converted it into a rather large Pizza Buffet restaurant. The space allows for a large dining area, a large area for meetings/private parties, and a great deal of linear buffet space. The interior is simple with concrete floors ( easier to keep clean), tables and chairs with a great deal of space between, and white walls that create a feeling of a clean and fresh place to eat.We were greeted at the door by the owner who guided us to our table. Our server arrived, introduced herself, explained the options of either ordering a pizza from the menu or enjoying the buffet. We elected to enjoy the buffet and and our server keep our drink glasses filled, removed dirty plates, and replaced them with clean plates on a continuous basis.The salad bar has a good selection of fresh salad toppings and dressings. There are both fresh chopped Iceberg and Romain lettuce. There is also a Caesar salad. There are two hot soups ready to enjoy. The buffet also includes three style of wings...plain, barbecue, and spicy buffalo. The wings were good and the wings served with sauces were competitive with other places that serve wings. There are Italian bread sticks, spaghetti, and three sauces (tomato, Alfredo, marinara). I especially enjoyed the marinara sauce on the spaghetti, bread sticks, and my pizza selections.The pizza portion of the buffet had six choices. Potter's also invites you to order the the pizza you like for the buffet. It is difficult to keep a pizza buffet full of selections when the customer count is low, but Potter's did a good job while we were there. there is pudding and dessert pizza available to finish your meal.The pricing for the buffet is probably best the feature: $9.99, including drinks and $7.99, including drinks for seniors.Give it a try, seek out Henry Potter and provide him both your positive and room for improvement feedback comments...it is the only way to continuously improve the buffet.

We ordered pizza delivery to our hotel and I was pleasantly surprised. They used fresh ingredients and the pizza was very good. We also had the cheesecake which was good, not fantastic. We obviously did not go to the restaurant so we can't say whether or not it's nice inside.

Danteâs Pizza and Pasta is a pizza delivery service in Abilene, Texas that promises that they deliver the hottest temperature food in town. They certainly kept their promise last night in Abilene when the temperatures were soaring and we wanted pizza delivery because it was too hot to leave our dog in the back of the car. We ordered shells with cheesy sticks, and we were surprised how much food you get. It was too much to eat, though even the dog gobbled down his meat ravioli quickly.

Co-worker and I were tired and just wanted something close to our hotel, I have been to Joe's a couple years ago so we thought we would try it again. Our salads were so so but their roles are really good. We both enjoyed our entrees, I had Alfredo and she had spaghetti with sausage and meatballs. Portions are quite generous. I don't mind getting my own drink but I'm not crazy about needing to bus my table.
6. Pizza By Design

Abilene is the home of 3 universities (Abilene Christian, Hardin-Simmons, and McMurray College.) All three of these colleges had their graduation the exact same day and there was a rodeo in town, so we decided to find a nice place that we didn't think would be overwhelmed on graduation night for dinner, planning to have the fancy graduation dinner the next day. We decided to go to Pizza by Design(Design). Our graduate had heard good things and there is a second location in town if the first one was swamped. Fortunately, Design wasn't swamped. It had a nice selection of toppings and the line looked clean and appealing.The dinig room may not be super fancy, but its clean, comfortable and spacy - which is good enough for us. There were a few other people, but it wasn't like the crowds we saw in the parking lots of some of the sit down restaurants.All five of us ordered the individual pizza. I put a lot of jalepenos, bacon, and cheese on mine. One thing to remember at these custom made pizza places is not to be bashful about having the person making your pizza add the amount of ingredients that you want to your pizza. Sometimes,like on this particular occasion, it takes some persisentence - but it's worth it. After all, you're paying $8 for a pizza that's smaller than most chains' small pizza. Make sure that you get your money's worth.Long story short - I got my money's worth. It was an excellent pizza that I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone else at the table was satisfied too.The staff was super nice.Bottom line, we might not have been eating at one of the fancy steak places in town, but the food we had for graduation dinner was plenty good. In addition, we didn't have to compete with a small army at a full service restaurant. I would happily go back to Design.

We come here on a consistent basis. It is usually very good food. Sometimes the service is a little slow, especially when they are busy. Pizza quality is very good. We like the thin pizza crust. Wish their salad bar had some dark green leafy lettuce and a little more selection, but it's a decent salad bar. Overall good quality product for reasonable price.Thank you for the rating and feedback. I will speak to the Supervisor over that store and we can defiantly look into the salad bar options. We appreciate your loyalty with us and look forward to serving you again.

Iâm not sure how many rolls I consumed, but the scales wonât lie when I decide to use them. My favorite restaurant in Abilene. The service is wonderful.

We discovered this pizza restaurant while passing through Abilene. It is in a distinctive building in the downtown area. The pizza is wonderful, we had the Bella. It was individually cooked to perfection in an oven at the end of the bar, where we were seated. Mouthwatering and delicious, and the beer was most excellent, too. Service was outstanding (thanks Kalli). A very nice respite during a long road trip.Weâre so fortunate that Kalli takes such good care of us. Glad you got to meet her and thrilled you enjoyed your quick stop in Abilene. Safe travels!
