If you’re known as a “bottomless pit,” there’s an Italian restaurant in Peoria, Illinois that offers some all-you-can-eat specials that will fill you right up. No one can resist this famous pizza buffet that’s been going on for decades.
Fresh ingredients and authentic recipes make all the difference at this eatery. Check it out:
In business since 1986, Tyroni's Italian Cafe in central Illinois offers the most memorable dining experience if you love buffets. It is known for its fresh food and authentic recipes that have been handed down and perfected over many decades.
In some ways, the restaurant has actually been around much longer than the current owner has had claim to it. Tyler Barnes actually started working in the restaurant while in college and worked his way up to management before buying the place.
Today, Barnes is still making homemade pizza dough and other fresh ingredients on-site daily.
