Cici's Pizza in Arnold Closed
The restaurant was chosen for this week's edition of Friday Food Critic until a reader alerted Patch it had closed.
Arnold has one less choice for pizza. Cici's Pizza at 227 Arnold Crossroads has closed.
We chose the popular pizza/pasta buffet for this week's Friday Food Critic. That was until Patch reader Jennifer Solnosky told us she went there yesterday, and it was closed.
We're not sure when it shuttered its doors. But I stopped by neighboring China King within the last month, and it was still open.
So where can you get your Cici's fix? The closest location on the company's website is in South County at 7425 S. Lindbergh Blvd. Cici's also has locations in Rock Hill and Farmington.

It might have to do with the fact that the Community Development Office imposed such ridiculous requirements as far as underground detention basins and vegetation, that people literally avoid that plaza altogether because they feel like they are stuck in a game of Labyrinth every time. China King is awesome, but delivery is the only way to go so you can avoid that disaster. At some point, questions need to be asked why business after business in that plaza fails, and I think to a large extent the redesigned lot is a part of it, and likely also has something to do with the inability to find a tenant for the old K-Mart, which the Citizens of Arnold have footed via TIF to the tune of $750,000 thus far.

Matt is correct, the layout of that plaza is ridiculous. I feel sorry for China King...best Chinese take-out in Arnold. We brave the maze to get there!

It is rather difficult to navigate.
