    We had pizza buffet mid afternoon, and I was honestly surprised they had so many different kinds of pizza out at that time of day. I was happy.

    Good as Pizza Ranch goes. Went there for buffet with the family at lunch time on a week day. Fair price for buffet and they kept it well stocked but the pizza choices were pretty niche specialty ones so the few more mainline pizzas went pretty quick with the rest sitting there. Just made for more trips hoping for a good pizza option. Pizza was good, service was good, but the choices left something to be desired.

    The price is high even when seniors dine in. Still cost 32.00 for 2 seniors only got 2 pieces of pizza, 1 piece of dessert. Other one got mashed potatoes and corn with 1 chicken thigh cost a little high for so little and don't tell me to eat more.

    Ordered a meal to stay and was given half and said grab the rest of the buffet and nothing was on the buffet. Why order your own and not get it. Never go there again. Manager also had no clue what to say except wait til it hits the buffet.
