When it comes to buffets, my criteria are variety, taste, cleanliness and (for lack of a better word) restocking. This Pizza Ranch definitely delivers on the variety and restocking. Each trip to the pizza buffet featured an assortment of fresh, hot pizzas. Unfortunately, the flavor was only average and the salad bar was a bit of a mess, with lots of cross item spillage. I guess that's okay if you like macaroni salad in your chocolate pudding. Seating was kind of sparse, but I have to admit that it's nice going to a restaurant where being 30 pounds overweight makes you one of the skinnier people there. read more

Super duper fried chicken, service and ambience. Next time we'll stop again! I've never had their pizza ( had our own pizzerias for nearly 20 years, and we were named "Best Pizza in the Midwest by Pizza Today magazine 2013 ) read more

Pizza Ranch - My life-long friend and his sweet wife at Pizza Ranch. - Pizza Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

1. Need better Cleanliness! 2. Too many empty tables that still needed to be cleared. 3. Chairs greasy! 4. Tables not wiped clean! 5. I watched a young guy wash the Buffett line glass, standing so close to the food line spraying glass cleaner on the cloth in his hand. And, guess where the spray mist landed! 6. Walking in, it just looks not clean! We Won't go back! It's a consistent problem with this company! We Thought since this NL location was fairly new, it might be cleaner! Not so! read more

Wow! We were in Iowa from Chicago for our nephew's 3rd birthday and were very impressed with Pizza Ranch, especially the manager Abby Lee. The staff was amazing. They decorated the whole party room and stayed on hand during the whole event. Kids loved the ice cream and parents LOVED the chicken. The game room kept the kids busy and seemed to be brand new. Staff was actively disinfecting games-which was awesome to see during these winter months. We will for sure be back next time we are in town. read more

Stopped in on my way home from U of I and had great service! Amy stopped by several tables to check on service and food. It was clean, neat and the great food and staff! read more

Every time we go to this pizza ranch they don't have very many pizzas and not a lot of chicken. We have requested a pizza and that takes a long time and by the time that comes we have already done eating. We like the food at pizza ranch but at lunchtime they need to have more pizza and chicken. My husband only has so much time at lunchtime before he hast to go back to work. read more

Disappointed is not even the word. Ordered the potato wedges and got waffles fries. 8$ and an excuse when I picked them up. So upset. Please do better or don't give someone something they didn't order. They were hard and stale on top of that. read more

Pizza Ranch opened a brand new location in North Liberty. The new location has great food and service. The Fun Zone Arcade next to Pizza Ranch has the latest and greatest arcade games. read more

This is usually hit or miss. We tried again last night and it was AWESOME! Lots of pizzas out, plenty of chicken, tater wedges, corn, mashed and gravy. Salad bar was full as well. Unfortunately TONS of dirty tables, but they remedied that while we were there. Great service, not very many folks there. Chicken was DELICIOUS, crispy skin, moist meat. They earned a 5 stars this trip! read more

Was on hold for over 10 minutes. Called back took another 5 minutes. Guy that answered the phone said they have staffing shortages. But, it doesn't matter this location doesn't care about customer service, since I've had problems here before. Management issues is the real problem. Too bad, it was a good place in its day. Anyone know where to get good bloated chicken? read more

See all

Delightful buffet and loved the pop suggestions pairings with pizzas! On par with Godfather's buffet, but here they have way better pizza options including, but not limited to, BBQ chicken, Chicken-Bacon-Ranch, Buffalo Chicken, Cheeseburger, and the classics. Chicken, rolls, cheese sticks, veggies and salad were all slightly above average as well. Great after church spot! read more

I went there with my son I had just sat down with a plate of food had 3 or 4'bits, I got up to give my son a hand with his plate came back my plate was gone. They cleared is. Now the other two table where they prop had left they were still there I complained about this issue there answer "sorry"! That's it nothing else I won't go back poor food quality VERY poor customer service and I am afraid they will take the fork out of my mouth before I am done read more

Food was cold. Service was not good. Two children kept taking off their masks and coughing on the buffet and talking about waking up sick. Manager just shook her head. Walked away. Won't go back there. read more

This Pizza Ranch has it figured out. The entire NE corner is a kids area for little ones to stay entertained while you eat. Anyone with a 3 year old knows that this can make the difference between enjoying your meal and trying to get out of there as fast as possible. So if you're up for unlimited pizza, fried chicken and ice cream, plus you're dealing with kids, make this Pizza Ranch your stop. read more

Pizza Ranch - Pizza Near Me - North Liberty, Iowa

This place is fine but if you are getting delivery beware. The past 3 times I've gotten delivery it has taken over three hours and is cold by the time it arrives read more

Since I live in North Liberty, I come here from time to time. And the place just keeps getting worse. Came in the other night, and they're short of chicken. Which pretty almost seems the case. Their basics are chicken, pizza, and salad. But half the time they have no chicken during busy period (Friday and Saturday nights, 5:30 - 7). Then when i go in, there's no pepperoni pizza and half a tray of cold breadsticks. I ask the front desk person as I pay for my buffet: I'd like a pepperoni pizza. She tells me it's on its way. Twenty minutes later, no pepperoni pizza. The breadsticks go quickly and they're not replaced. Chicken comes out once, and of course there's a mad rush for it because everyone else has been waiting as well: there's at least one party in a back room, and they're up there complaining about the lack of chicken. I'm lucky to grab two pieces. How do you run a pizza buffet and not have pepperoni (or sausage, or cheese, or hamburger: none of them, either) pizza in a 20-30 minute span? They have their theme/"special" pizzas, but none of the basic. No breadsticks, i.e, a cheese pizza cut up into "sticks". Barely any chicken. I don't expect them to bring the pizza I asked for to my table, but they can't even get it on the buffet table. My advice: when you come in, take a look at the food before ordering the buffet. If there's little or nothing there, go somewhere else. Red's has decent flatbread, Digiorno's is nearby and you can get a decent pizza there. There's no buffet at either place and Red's is usually busy, but you ain't getting any buffet at Pizza Ranch Buffet either for supper on Friday and Saturday nights. And if you go to the other places, you won't have to fight for the food when it does come out. read more

You cant reall y have too high of expectations for a ten buck pizza buffet, but the food was pretty terrible overall. The salad and mashed potatoes were fine the rest was just a grease pit. Dessert was. Pretty tasty. Staff. Was friendly and helpful, but food was not decent enough to bring me back read more

If I could give this place a 0 I would. This is the Worst Pizza Ranch in Iowa. I have had so many issues with this place. Pizza Ranch is great just NOT the North Liberty location. They NEVER answer the phone. They have messed up my order multiple times. I'm really not sure how they are still in business. I wish I lived closed to the Iowa Pizza Ranch they know how to serve customers with accuracy and great customer service. read more

On average I enjoyed going to this Pizza Ranch but this time was different. I fell and hit my self on the buffet, spilling a plate full of hot food all over me. An employee watched this happened and laughed at me. Did not ask if I was okay or offer to help me up. For most people that would be bad but they managed even piss me off more. I ordered a pizza when I paid for the buffet. An hour later we where still waiting for our Pizza. By the time we left we did not have our pizza. We left with out enjoying the pizza we ordered. The employees where no help and rude. read more

Showed up for buffet on Sunday afternoon. Buffet table was empty. We were assured they could "throw a few things in". We didn't hang around. Unimpressive. Kind of defeats the purpose of a buffet. read more

Don't go there! This was recently remodeled and just reopened a couple of weeks ago. When it first reopened they had partitions in front of the food and they served customers. This was clean and safe. This week barriers have been removed and it is an open buffet which is not safe at this time. I inquired about the change and they stated restrictions have been lifted so they took barriers down. read more

Took the family to pizza ranch last night. Once again let down. They just don't or can't keep up with demand. A regular thing as far as I'm concerned. Both party rooms were in use and dining room was busy. I will give them credit that it was a busy night. Knowing there are 2 party's on a Saturday night you would think they would schedule enough staff to keep up(assuming that was the problem). Appeared to be lots of dirty plates and silverware on the buffet. Had a hard time restocking buffet. People leaning on the wall around the buffet waiting for food to be brought out. Standing water in the bathroom hallway. There are cleaner bathrooms in truck stops. People cleaning their own tables with napkins and water from the pop machine so they can have a place to sit. Two people had messed up take out pizzas(in 1 hours time). I think they need a few more adults that know what they are doing on the clock. At least on busy nights. The only reason I keep going back is because my daughter likes going there for the buffet experience. She's 6, what can I say. read more

The meat is extremely questionable and the dining room looks like it hasn't been properly cleaned in years. Plus there's some sort of strange tie between Pizza Ranch and Bob Vander Plaats, but even if there weren't, the food is still questionable enough that I wouldn't go there. Then again, I don't have kids, so perhaps that's the appeal with this place? It's a mystery to me. read more

I keep hoping that this place will get better, but it's nothing but disappointment. 3 parties tonight and severely understaffed, as usual. We walked In (Family of 4) and there was no pizza, no plates, no forks. Almost every table in the place needed bussing. 30 mins later and I've only managed to snag a chicken breast, 2 slivers of cheese sticks (half of what would be considered "normal" size) and the worlds smallest slice of pizza. read more

First off kids don't eat free, second they had no milk, third they had no ice cream. How do you run a place that runs out of milk and ice cream? Isn't that one of the reasons people come here, ice cream? read more

It's my favarote place to take my kids on Monday nights!

This place blows pizza h*t out of the water. Awesome taste and amazing prices. I'll be ordering from this place a lot more and I highly recommend you do the same. read more

Nothing to go out of your way for its a pretty boring buffet when I was there the pizza was cold! Just a classic example of you get what you pay for! read more

Always a nice variety, food cooked fresh, the "buffet your way" option is super nice! You get any pizza you want to your table, get the first few slices, and then the rest goes on buffet! I've been going here since I was a kid and this place has never disappointed me! read more

The food was gross and nothing was fresh. the chicken taste like dried out rubber and pizza sauce was more of solid state than sauce! Also the AC wasn't on because we felt like we were in the kitchen. It was cooler outside with the temperature 85 Sunday afternoon. read more

Very unimpressed with the food here. When we got here there was barely any fresh / any food out for the buffet. The guy at the front was very pleasant and nice. Had to constantly ask for food to be out. 2 out of 5 stars read more

Great place for lunch buffet. price could be a little lower....but buffet is always well stocked and the food is good. Ice cream is also a nice touch. read more

Love this place. I've only had a messed up order from this place once in the 5 years I have been ordering from them and they fixed it right away. read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced!Called for delivery and after getting nothing but ringing for the first 5-10 tries we finally got through to the girl that struggled through the whole process of taking our order. Finally got quoted a 40-45 min time frame for delivery. After an hour and fifteen minutes we called in 2 more times and was told it was out for delivery. Twenty minutes later I spoke with the manager Janelle to express our concerns and all she could say was "what do you expect me to do." Not the best response from a MANAGER!! We then came to realize we were lied to previously when we were told it was out for delivery. Won't be giving them our business anytime soon! Finally got our food one hour and thirty six minutes after ordering only to discover they left food out of order but charged us for it . NOT OK!! read more

The food is good, but the service is AWFUL. It feels like its being run by a bunch of trashy people who are consistently rude and lazy. The place is usually really dirty, which there is no excuse for considering they are not busy. If you do get food there, order out. Its not worth dealing with the staff read more

Gluten free pizza is not to be desired. Too thin crust, usually burned,very scant toppings. Might as well eat a piece of cardboard with a bit of sauce on it. read more

Well as much service ( i was just their yesterday) as i give this place because my son loves it...i called placed an order told it would be hr or an hour and a half for to go order for delivery. .ok I was fine with that... 1 hr 45 min goes by called asked were my order is they said ya we voided that order and never even called to tell us they were never coming...asked maybe you should have called to let us know that u weren't going to make the guy states that was not my job to call you I was just suppose to void the ticket read more

Pizza Ranch always seems to have pizza ready when they say it'll be ready. Really enjoy the chicken but almost never eat it because I'm obsessed with their Buffalo Chicken Pizza! Put it on thin crust and SO delicious. read more

I am a pizza ranch fan, but this place definitely let me down from my expectations. I was there once when visiting the area and everything on the buffet was burned to the point of being blackened. The staff didn't seem to care or surprised when I mentioned the charred looks and taste. They surely didn't do anything about it (like speed up the conveyer on the oven so it didn't burn) Salad bar was average. Chicken was below average for pizza ranch. I see a lot of positive reviews here, but things I've heard in person are much different. I won't go here again. read more
