I don't do cheat days, but when I'm presented with the opportunity to eat whatever and however much I want and happen to be in the "IDGAF mode", I would go for buffet most times. I really like variety, and I can have pizza any time so it doesn't sound special unless I'm specifically craving pizza. I don't have access to a buffet whenever I want, at least not the kind I like. It would also depend on the food available. I'm not crazy about meat, so if the buffet is mostly meat based dishes, my choices are limited and it's not as appealing.

Are you bulking or cutting

Neither. I'm kind of in a diet limbo right now. I'm maintaining, but not really. I have my calories set to maintenance but don't bank the calories if I eat less one day, so I end up slowly losing. I'm kind of taking a semi-break.

My answer wouldn't be different regardless of my caloric balance. I just don't feel the need for a dedicated cheat day. I can have whatever I want whenever I want even when trying to keep a deficit. There are many ways to achieve that, be it by eating smaller portions, having a food less often, manipulating the caloric content of other meals/days, or being active enough to afford it. I don't usually go for big deficits when I'm losing weight, so there is that.

Alternate! 1x Cheating Pizza with 1x Cheating Buffet. Preferably not at the same time so as not to dilute their effect. Goal is dirty bulking, right?
