An interesting little place. When I arrived there was no pizza on the buffet. I indulged in the salad bar while waiting for the pizza. The salad bar was good but, it only had shredded lettuce? And a mixed greens strawberry offering, of course there were salad toppings and the usual salad bar items. Not crazy about shredded lettuce for a salad, but that's what I had. The chicken was very good! The pizza is good, but definitely second fiddle to the chicken. The other little glitch was when I asked the person at the counter if they had any salt and pepper, she said "I don't think we have any." To her credit, she said "I'm new, let me check." A few minutes later she brought me some packets of salt and pepper. Which was very nice. But why not salt and pepper shakers!!?? That's weird to me. Probably some leftover Covid procedure. All in all, a nice small town place. I would stop in again.

Absolutely love Pizza Ranch! The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. Especially the fried chicken, which is hands-down some of the best around. The pizza bar has a great variety, and they’re always willing to make your favorite if it’s not out. The salad bar is clean and fully stocked, and the dessert pizzas? Don’t skip them. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the whole place is clean and family friendly. Whether you’re there for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with the family, Pizza Ranch hits the spot every time. Highly recommend!
