We're not sure of all the negative reviews because we really enjoyed our dinner here. We were greeted warmly at the entrance where you pay prior to sitting down. We were offered to order a specific pizza if we wanted something special (at no extra charge). There is plenty of seating of booths and tables & chairs. You get your own drinks (which were included in the buffet price). They changed out the pizzas frequently and had plenty to choose from. The other hot food was very good. I got a piece of fried chicken breast. So moist, tender, and not greasy! It was the best fried chicken I have had in a long time. My husband got some chicken tenders and just as good. There was mashed potato & gravy and pasta with sauce. They had a fresh salad bar that was kept well stocked with a variety of dressings to choose from. Everyone that worked there was so pleasant and our table was always cleared from the used plates. The restaurant was kept clean (including the restrooms). They were constantly wiping the buffet area off. I love good fried chicken and wished this was closer to home! read more

We stopped here on the way up to Mall of America. It was my first and last visit to a Pizza Ranch. The restaurant was filthy! The floor had food and was not swept or vacuumed, finding a table was difficult because they weren't bussed (and the restaurant wasn't that busy). There was very little food left, absolutely no dessert pizzas. Went back up after they added more, but the food did not look appetizing. The potato wedges were the best thing I ate. We ended up with 6 plates on our table, the bus boy passed by us numerous times and never took the dirty plates. For $50, for 2 adult meals and 1 kids meal it was not worth it. I think we ate 5 small slices of pizza, one chicken tender, and some potato wedges. With how dirty the restaurant was, I was nervous to eat there. I would skip this and go elsewhere. read more

I don't know why the rating is so low for Pizza Ranch. When I first entered, it was a bit chaotic being a first timer. You pay first at the cash register and then you find your own seating. It was quite packed since it was July 4th weekend. We managed to find a table for two, but getting in and out of our seats was a bit of a struggle since all the chairs/tables were so close together. The restaurant is an all you can eat buffet with a pizza station, salad bar, hot foods station, dessert station, and a drink station. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy! The mashed potatoes and gravy were good and the potato wedges were huge and crispy. The stuffing tasted like instant stuffing and quite salty, so I don't recommend. Next are the pizza. The taco pizza was my favorite and then the pepperoni pizza. I took a bite out of the mac and cheese pizza, which wasn't too bad either. They also had breadsticks with marinara sauce. The salad bar looked fresh, and the dessert pizza looked amazing. They even let you order any kind of pizza for free, and they can bring you the entire pizza or just a set number of slices. How nice is that!! The service here is actually a lot better than I could imagine!! They constantly have someone wiping off the drippings and food from each station. They have someone sweeping the floor, wiping down tables, and removing dirty plates. They also have someone constantly refilling all the food. Most buffet places just ignore this stuff, but Pizza Ranch really does do a good job keeping the place as clean as they possibly can with kids everywhere. This place is ultimately a buffet, so I think expectations shouldn't be overly high, but overall, I would come back again. There was enough variation to make anyone happy. read more

My family and I always enjoy going to Pizza Ranch when we visit the Dells. For affordable buffets this is the spot to go to! I think your experience can be really hit or miss based on what time you go. During peak lunch and dinner hours food is always coming out fast and fresh! I love their variety and also their Broast chicken is amazing! For all you can eat prices range from 12-14 per person which is a steal for an area like Wisconsin Dells. Majority of restaurants in this area will most likely run a family of 4 around 60-80 while pizza ranch tends to be around 50-60 for us and we are stuffed for the rest of the day. The service is great! They allow you to order pizzas that are not out on the tables. The ambiance is pretty solid like any other American buffets but much cleaner in my opinion. read more

I just went to make a plate of salad and witnessed an employee flicking bacon bits BACK into the bowl with her bare hands with a dirty plate in the other. Absolutely disgusting. Out of ice & rootbeer. Please do better especially in a tourist city. read more

First time in been to a buffet in years. There was a wide variety of pizza in the pizza bar including chocolate chip cookie pizza and apple pie pizza. Salad bar was good. I got some pizza, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, pasta, ice cream and soda. Food was very tasty, people came several times around to pick up plates, workers were quite friendly. Pricewise it was extremely cheap and they do provide military discount. read more

Just yuck. Food is just bad here. I would not return with the family ever again. Expensive for garbage food.

Pretty good food. The pricing is very nice, especially with kids under 10. It's $1 per year of age. Very cheap for my 1 year old haha. We came with a group of 55 people and the establishment took great care of us. The workers were very friendly. read more

I grew up going to my local pizza ranch in MN but it has since been closed. When I saw this in the dells I immediately told my husband we have to go. I have been dreaming about their taco pizza for years!!! I am happy to report the pizza is just as good as I remember. Their speciality and dessert pizzas are what they do best. 10/10. Next time we are in the dells we will be stopping by! read more

The food was AMAZING. The pepperoni pizza was amazing I don't like ranch but my sisters said it was even better with ranch. And the cookies were really good too. I highly recommended coming here! read more

So... a buffet, so take this as it is. We came in for an indulgent (quantity) meal, and were welcomed with a friendly greeting and helpful check-in. We had a couple coupons, and were helped to get the best deal. If you don't have a coupon, it's still only 10.95 (?) for an all you can eat buffet. A great deal if you want a lot of food. The food was surprisingly good. Pizza was decent, with a very bready dough, though nothing special. Definitely buffet pizza. Salad bar was great! Fresh salad and all ingredients. For those of us who like salads, this was a fantastic bonus! Dessert bar was good, with standard pies and a killer chocolate chip cookie! It seems they are known for their fried chicken, which did not disappoint. A little crisper would fit my tastes, but it's coming out of a buffet bin! Very well done! Sides of chips, waffle fries, and mashed potatoes (in rotation) were fair. Overall a great value to feed people with big appetites. This IS the Wisconsin Dells, after all, where things are done in grand style. ;-) read more

We love Pizza Ranch. Our last visit was in early June 2020 (pandemic) and while we knew Wisconsin had different guidelines for indoor dining - there was literally zero social distancing going on and it was pretty busy. We struggled to find a table that looked remotely clean - and had to break our party up because we couldn't find 2 tables near each other. They also seemed pretty confused when they brought out our pizza request that we made at the register when we paid - I guess they weren't expecting us to want the entire thing (we had 10 people in our party). These things made our experience less pleasing than normal. Thankfully all turned out - and we are well past the potential "incubation" of any Rona - and all 10 of us remained healthy after our visit. read more

Food is fine. During the rush people forget their manners and touch the food with their hands. Kids are unsupervised making a mess. During the dinner rush there was no ice. Had to wait for food multiple times because none was available. The ambiance is ok noisy with western decor. read more

It's a pizza buffet. Don't expect too much. It's a one time thing only. Wouldn't go again.

This visit was FANTASTIC. The service was amazing. Plates were cleared by friendly personable staff. The buffet kept getting fresh delicious food. Our special order pizza with thin crust could not have been better. The blueberry desert pizza with ice cream topped a great meal. Be sure and request your favorite pizza-your way. read more

Who doesn't love pizza? Pizza Ranch offers unlimited buffet style pizza, fried chicken, salad, and desserts pizza/ice cream. They even take customer requests for pizzas which was great to see that you can ask for whatever you'd like on your pie. Awesome place to eat at with the family. The pizza in particular was great, fresh, and delicious. I loved the simple veggie pizza. The friend chicken was good too. The salad bar was decent, I wish it was consistently being touched up like the pizza station was, because the lettuce was low and some greens were wilted and dressings were out. They had dessert pizzas and a vanilla soft serve ice cream station which was tasty. There's a coupon at the Dells welcome center for 10% percent off your entire bill. It has an country down homey feel to it, clean, and friendly service. read more

I had just spent 6+ hours in my car driving to the sella and had to deal with Chicago traffic first so you can bet I was hungry. I saw the pizza ranch as I was turning to check into my hotel. I had no idea what a pizza ranch was but looked it up and found that it was a pizza buffet. So a quick drive back and no wait to get in and even better no wait for food. I can't stress how convenient it was just to get in and get our food quickly. They had a wide array of pizza all hand tossed no deep dish. There was cheese, pepperoni, BBQ chicken and several others. All we're about what you would expect at a pizza buffet. The BBQ chicken was exceptionally good. I also had a lot of pepperoni as it had just been brought out. They also had a unique additional offering of fried chicken. I found that the fried chicken was great even better than the pizza. Unfortunately after eating many slices of pizza and a salad from the decent salad bar I only had room for the leg and wing. They do have hot sauce packets. The soda machine also worked well and the drinks tasted pretty good. They did have excellent service for a buffet. They cleaned of all plates rapidly after you finished. Also they serviced the items and kept up with the rapid pace of the guests eating them all. They also had many dessert pizzas and ice cream. Unfortunately after all the pizza, salad, bread sticks, and chicken I could only eat a small bowl of the excellent soft serve ice cream. Note at first I thought the place was kind of expensive I think it is $14 or so per person, but I hadn't been to any other Dells places and I can now say it is very reasonable and most likely the fastest food you can find. read more

Online ordering was not 100% smooth and I ended up with a plain extra cheese pizza. GF box clearly marked. When I opened it up I was concerned that it was not gluten free as the crust was light and a little fluffy. I did not have gluten reaction so it must have been. Tasted good! read more

We frequently visit Pizza Ranch when we are in the Dells with the kids, but tonight it was just me and my husband. We'd been playing hard at Ho-Chunk and didn't want to pay the $20 prive tag for their buffet, so we headed to Pizza Ranch for a quick bite. We arrived at 9:15 PM, and they close at 10:00 PM, so I was a bit concerned that the food wouldn't be fresh. My worries were for naught, however, as the buffet was fully stocked with fresh options. Even though Pizza Ranch specializes in pizza, there are many other options available on the buffet. The fried chicken is delicious and they have fresh-made kettle chips that my husband loves. I enjoy the biscuits and gravy and mashed potatoes. There's also a salad bar, soups, dessert pizza, and soft-serve. Customers can request any type of pizza and it will be delivered to your table before it is placed on the buffet. The service was prompt and friendly. Dirty dishes were quickly removed from our table. The only complaint we had this evening is that the floor was pretty dirty with crumbs and food scraps, and the buffet area was sticky from soda spills. I understand that it was the end of the night, but a quick sweep goes a long way. Overall, I highly recommend a stop at Pizza Ranch when you are in the dells. Tip: when staying at the Kalahari, it's just a quick jaunt down the street, and you'll pay much less for your meal. read more

It's a good pizza buffet place. There are multiple pizza options and you can order whole or slices of your favorite pizza. There is a good salad bar. Also, there is fried chicken and waffle fries. It's a good option while we were in the dells. read more

Was in the mood for some pizza for the family and wanted to try this place out since it was by the resort. If you love pizza and southern comfort foods then this is the place for you. The pizza is not gourmet at all but it is good for a typical family. The pasta, salad, and other side items were great as well. All the food was seasoned very well. Great ambience with good customer service. Prices are decent. Not gonna break the bank. read more

The only Pizza Ranch I've ever been to that charges an extra $3 for drinks. Plates were dirty. No ice tea. No coffee.

Food was good . Staff needs a class in customer relations. Told cashiers children's ages. They entered wrong And then verbally attack children When at buffet. read more

Turned music off 45 mins prior to closing. Good good though... They are fast at cleaning tables and very polite. read more

It was fun for the kids they liked it however the pizza was just ok. The dough was a bit blan without flavor. Pizza was much better then it was fresh. Upside they will make a pizza of your choice and deliver you how many slices you want directly to your table. The salad bar was my favorite. Decor was cute, staff was friendly. read more

food was alright, it was the staff that was the issue. I was with a large group, so we had the party room thing, it came with multiple dirty plates and a old ice cream dish and a huge ice cream stain on the carpe, when confronted, they said to wait and they'll do it later. They never did. As I was getting my food, I slipped on a tomato on the ground. Spilling my food everywhere. Staff did nothing. The guy at the front desk just gave one of the guys in my party a broom and a wet floor sign, the. went back to scrolling TikTok. The only people who asked if I'm okay, where other patrons, not even staff. They just looked on. never going back. avoid this place if possible. Most positive reviews seem bought. If I could give this place a 0/5, I wouldn't hesitate. read more

Great price on a meal that will fill you up! Pizza Variety was very limited. Service is always top notch!!

The food here is ok. The chicken is quite dry. There breadsticks and chocolate chip pie was burnt.But the one thing that made me give this place 2 stars was the fact my 13 year old daughter wasn't able to serve her self. I had to serve her meal but her meal was paid at an adult price. They also were out of orange soda. I would highly recommend changing the age to 10 and younger not 14. read more

Glad to discover this place last year. Whenever we are in the Dells this is where we eat. Reasonable price for good food and clean place. Also, employees are friendly especially their employees from Asian countries. They're respectful and do their job read more

Horrible. Little pizza options. Kids are openly coughing everywhere. Pizza was bland. Desserts look like they were there for a while. Soda machine station was very dirty. Don't waste your money! read more

I actually really liked it. I was thinking it was going to be Pizza Hut or CiCi's pizza quality but it's much much better. Don't get me wrong, it's not "THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD". It's good for the price. Not only do they have pizza, they have a full salad bar, terrific chicken options, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a pretty nice selection of dessert. Not sure why some of the reviews are for 1 star. I really hope they weren't expecting an authentic Chicago pizza place when they know it's a buffet named "pizza ranch".... Also, the atmosphere is great. Very on theme, and clean. read more

My family and I were looking for a nearby restaurant, as we were staying at the Kalahari and didn't want to drive too far out due to the snow l storm. Pizza Ranch ended up being a great choice! Exceptional service, clean restaurant, ample seating, and we all enjoyed our dinner! And to top it off, you can request a pizza with your desired toppings and they'll bring it out within a short time. Highly recommend! read more

Great location of your staying at the Kalahari. The service is quick and they have a smaller buffet in addition to the pizza that included chicken, mashed potatoes and some veggies. The cool thing about here is you can order a pizza anyway you like it and they bring it to your table to grab as many pieces as you like before moving it to the buffet. Would go there again with a large group as there is a little something for everyone. read more

Pizza ranch is one of my favorite restaurants. Since my family and I travel avidly around wisconsin we have visited over 12 different pizza ranches. By far, this is the best pizza ranch in the state. They have had the best productivity i've seen and always had 5 full pizzas ready at all times as well as 1-2 pans of cheesy ranch sticks. Not to mention the salad bar was extremely well stocked. As well as the fried chicken/mashed potato station. The personal pizzas came out in 7-10 minutes which was the fastest i've ever seen. The pizza was to their normal quality as well. My only downfall to this location is all employees or foreign so their accents are sometimes tough to understand. However, since only 2,000 people live in this town, I cannot blame pizza ranch for this yet it made my experience lessend read more

To me this place is just a a different version of CiCi's pizza buffett. The pizzas weren't bad for the price and on top of that they had other things as well like fried chicken, biscuits and gravy and various other things. I had someone recommend me this place coming back from the Dells and to be honest I think I would rather go to a McDonald's just because of the cleanliness. I had a big group with me after coming back from the Dells and this place was packed with people. We got seated reasonably fast for the amount of people we had but man I don't know if I've seen a restaurant as messy as this. Food was everywhere on the ground and it honestly looks like they clean the tables and thats it. To get soda it is an extra fee as well but man I saw so many people using water cups to get soda and they seem to really not care. If you don't care about food on the floor of where you're sitting feel free to try this place out. If they don't have a specific pizza you like out at the buffet you can request one and they'll bring it out to you at no extra charge. Though i enjoyed some of the pizzas, I don't think I'll be back. read more

I've heard mixed reviews about Pizza Ranch, but I've been to 3 locations in Wisconsin, and they have been great each time. This time they fell a little behind on keeping the food out there, but it was really busy, and I ate like a pig, so I can't fault them for that. For the price, you really can't beat it. Even the chicken is good. On the way out of town we stopped for BK because it was a quick. It's right across the street, but I won't make that mistake again. Pizza Ranch is worth the money. BK is not. read more

Wow, the fried chicken tho. I'm not a huge fried chicken guy anymore...but this bird is LEGIT! I just wish they brought it out in larger batches. There were times I noticed about 4-5 people lingering, waiting for the chicken to come out. Luckily for me, there was no competition when I went up to grab a piece. All 3 different pizzas I tried were good. The salad bar could've been better, with more options. But whatever you do, please do NOT change a thing about your chicken. read more
