I had to give a five star alone on the fact that they have gluten free pizza & a buffet.. although I did not agree with you have to pay the buffet price plus $2 for one pizza ( but you can make it any way you like). The chicken I tried just because and it was seasoned well, juicy and freshhhh. The salad bar and old school soft serve ice cream was good as well. Overall we enjoyed the food, cleanliness, constant restock of food and how the servers made sure plates were picked up for more food to be enjoyed. Will visit again

Went and tried pizza ranch tonight, and they were very busy but they were very well organized and every single staff member was amazing. The owner was outside in the heat taking names for the list and keeping people entertained. We waited maybe 15 minutes to be seated. the young man that walked us to our table was so sweet and gave a brief rundown of everything they offer and how to get a custom pizza. We were greeted by every staff member at the buffet and asked if we needed anything. The pizza was good I wouldn’t say the best but it was good. I really enjoyed the chicken it was incredibly well cooked, seasoned and crispy! I would go just for the chicken. We had a little slow service at bussing tables but they were busy so I don’t hold it against them. The owner then made his way around to every table and spoke with everyone. I can tell you everything he stands for and his expectations for that establishment is above and beyond. I hope they are around for a while and we will definitely visit again. Bottom line good food, great service and amazing values.

Really liked it! I’m not a big buffet person, but I think they did really well. The staff was super nice and attentive. I heard them gladly answer questions from families. The layout worked pretty well, even with a large crowd for lunch. It did get a little complicated with a lot of little kids in line with families, but if you’re patient, it’s fine, and it’s totally not the stores problem. Pizzas were great and had lots of flavors to try. The dessert crumble pizzas were awesome too. Fried. Hicken was good and I really liked the salad bar also! Over I would highly recommend. My only hangup was price, but it’s a buffet, so I totally understand.

I love the pizza ranch. This location gets 4 stars for the following reasons. 1) If you order a pizza they buzz you, they don’t serve you. So you could miss the entire pizza by the time you get to the buffet. 2) there are no labels for the pizza. Some are obvious, some contain surprises. 3) there are only 4 handicap parking spots and there are 3 carry out. ( At a buffet)

So Expensive! They’ve upped the price being open less than a month. $20 a person is more than a little high. Especially knowing I could go to almost any restaurant cheaper. You could spend $20 a person at any other restaurant and eat as much as you can and then bring home your leftovers for later. Food was good, Not worth the prices.

Came to Pizza Ranch on the 3rd day of business here. The line to get in took about 15 minutes, but was obviously at the dinner rush. The pizza was hot and fresh, fried chicken was good, and the cactus bread was very good! When we sat down we were looking for Parmesan cheese and asked an employee, Nadia, who was actually on break at the time, but she didn’t hesitate to go to the back and get some for us. Parking was a bit difficult and we drove in circles for 15 minutes waiting for someone to leave before we got a space. We knew we were taking our chances going in the first few days, but we both enjoyed it and I’m sure we’ll be back. I was too excited to take pictures of the food, but got one of the sign.

From the moment I walked in I was treated with kindness and smiling faces. The service was amazing they checked on my table many times throughout the visit. There was a really long line when we walked up but it moved very quickly. There is a fun zone with a games and a prize counter. The food was great and all of it was fresh. My favorite was the chicken it was really juicy. They also had really good dessert. Me and my family walked away content with full belly’s. I recommend coming here if you want a fun experience.

Great experience during our first time after opening. We arrived around 6:00 for dinner with a party of seven and although it was very busy, the staff was able to accommodate seating. Staff was very polite, provided exceptional service, and really went out of their way to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. The food was excellent and very fresh since nothing sat long due to the large crowd, but was readily available with the amount they continuously put out. Kids played in the arcade which they enjoyed, while the adults had dessert and coffee. Our group was never rushed and continued to be attended to by employees. Everything was very clean for a restaurant, let alone for a buffet. For being open just over one week, this restaurant proved to be very well managed. Great experience and would recommend to anyone. This Pizza Ranch exceeded our expectations in every way.

Super hyped for one to open near us. Food was good. Very small selection compared to others I’ve been to. The layout is terrible for this area. The lunch line approach makes things very slow and congested. I suggest the open layout of the other pizza ranch locations where each stations can be accessed on both sides. Also bigger stations since when I was there we had to wait for chicken multiple times due to the number of people that were there. Underwhelmed by the arcade. Thought it was going to be bigger based on the pictures the website was promoting. Still fun though. It was a ok experience but was definitely let down a bit. Hope they can adjust. Also needs the Mac and cheese and fries.
