EDIT August 10th, 2025: We called in a group of 10 in advance for 4:30. We show up and there's not many people eating, and yet despite our advance notice, the pizza side of the buffet is not stocked (only 3 slices of non-dessert pizza).
It was a full 15 minutes before any pizza was added to the buffet. There is no reason, with us informing them of the group prior to us showing up, that they weren't more prepared for us.
We let them know an hour and a half before we arrived, had a slightly smaller group than planned (9/10), and there was maybe 2 other small tables there when we showed up.
Aside from that, the food was good. Loved the mash and gravy as usual, and the breading on the fried chicken was great.
Review History:
EDIT: visited with my family for Veterans Day and I still see constant thin crust pizza on the buffet.
We also had probably 8 empty plates at our table before anyone ever offered to take them.
This is not the quality i praised when I wrote my original review. Disappointing.
EDIT: We returned recently this past Saturday the 21st of October at around 5:30pm. We learned that they changed their Military discount to only apply to the veteran, not the family. So much for feeling like a family restaurant.
Then when the buffet was restocked, they put out 3 thin crust pizzas back to back instead of giving variety for those who don’t like thin crust pizza.
Between getting more expensive for us, plus poor handling of what goes onto the buffet, I may not visit as often
ORIGINAL: Went in for the buffet with my parents on Saturday, April 1st. Dad got a military discount so I want to thank Pizza Ranch for their support on that end.
As it was my first visit, I tried as many things as I could with the intention of writing a review.
The fried chicken had good flavor, wasn't overcooked or dry. Love the mashed potatoes and gravy, went back for more. I also tried the (home made?) potato chips and I enjoyed how they were seasoned.
I won't review the salad this time, as I made the mistake of getting onions which upset my stomach. Will try without onions next time. I do feel like it was hard to reach some options for constructing my salad, however.
Of course, I had to try the pizza here too. Mom requested a supreme pizza and I enjoyed a slice of it. The cheese pizza and cheesy bread sticks also had good flavor and plenty of cheese as you would expect.
My highlight has to be the pepperoni pizza though. The best in the county, well seasoned, great flavor. This will be the main item I brag about to my friends, family, and co-workers.
Service was great too; empty plates never stayed at our table for long, and they checked up on us just the right amount.
Thank you for the great meal. Next time I'll give the salad another go, and try to take photos to update my...

The food is absolutely amazing, good pizza, great salad bar, and a selection of home style foods. Your buffet price includes a drink and dessert (ice cream machine!), but the best part is that you can custom-order a pizza for the buffet! You are personally served the first slices that you want, and then the pizza goes to the buffet line. This is an absolutely fabulous accommodation especially if you have picky eaters. They personally made our girls a cheese pizza. Simple, but it meant so much to have a pizza they would eat.
The staff is extremely friendly, the owner even came to clear our plates and chatted with us. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and clean. Overall it was just a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone...
Read morePizza Ranch never disappoints! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The buffet was fresh, well-stocked, and full of delicious options — from classic pepperoni to unique specialty pizzas. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned perfectly — honestly some of the best around. And don't even get me started on the cactus bread… pure dessert heaven!
The dining area was clean and family-friendly, making it a great spot for both casual dinners and gatherings. We even requested a specific pizza, and they made it fresh and brought it right to our table. That extra touch really made the experience feel special.
Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll...
