Griffin greeted me as I walked in the door, I heard him help the customers in front of me speaking clearly and explained everything perfectly, prices, surveys, etc. Then when I was eating he came around with a fresh pizza asking if anyone wanted some. Super friendly young person, you don't find this very often. read more

Well hot day So let's try the chicken ranch I had called and asked if the sr 2-4 pm deal was still on And was quoted 10.99 as food prices had gone up. Well the app is down again, fail to launch in iOS 26 grrrr I got there ahead of my party Well price was higher 12.49 plus a sur charge of .18 merchant handling fee? So 12.67 is the new sr price plus tax Second grrrrr Well let the food rationing begin Salad bar was picked over Hot pizza bar looked tired Maybe 6 big chunks of chicken looked weird like 1/2 a chicken? Or maybe stuck together chicken? No wings , no drum sticks I asked for more chicken and must to have missed that they had refilled the bin When I asked for drum sticks They brought out two and acted like I had raided a private refrigerator... The chicken was undercooked again And not up to food safety temperature Yea I think this location will be a hard pass till they get new managers Avoid this one in summer 2025 Deceptions and bad food.... Yup hard pass read more

Pizza Ranch - lol i had to post this covid notice sign off the inside pizza ranch door 07/15/2021 - Pizza Near Me - Ottumwa, Iowa

The pizza is sooo good! And They have a fun zone and their food is delicious! And the fun zone is a good place to be a kid

The pizza was so greasy it literally went through the paper between the box and pizza. Garlic Seasoning was so salty. Won't be ordering again sadly. read more

The last 4 times we've gone to the Osky Pizza Ranch were terrible. We had decided to try one more time-.... What a nice difference! Plenty of food. Clean. Pleasant staff. Thanks. read more

Great food, Great workers, Great store. Always so clean. There is so much to choose from and you can eat as much as you need unlike getting it in one bag and that's all you get.... and you even get dessert including Ice Cream. read more

Walked in July 23 , with a big group, exhausted bc of the heat and family in the hospital and was given thr private party room at no extra charge. Really nice of them. Buffett was stocked and requested pizzas were brought out soon after. Soda machine was not working right , most options were flat, but maybe they were working on it bathrooms clean and everyone was friendly. Will be back next time in town. read more

Pizza Ranch - a group of people sitting around a table - Pizza Near Me - Ottumwa, Iowa

Went there for a birthday party today and they literally had no food out in the middle of the afternoon. The pizza looked like it was frozen and we wouldn't even eat it. The only saving grace was the chicken was good but as soon as guy brought it out it was gone as they had no pizza and it's called Pizza Ranch. Won't be visiting Ottumwa Pizza Ranch ever again. read more

We paid almost $50 for takeout for six adults to eat tonight. $26.99 for a 12-piece chicken meal, including potato wedges and a roughly quart size serving of vegetables. They were out of corn so we had to get green beans. We also chose to add mashed potatoes and a large cactus bread. We only waited about 10 minutes longer than the quoted time, but we were missing our cactus bread and (as pictured) only received enough wedges to feed maybe two people. We went back in to get the cactus bread we paid for and to ask about the small number of wings. To make up for it, they gave us three biscuits... when there were six of us. Definitely not planning to get carryout from this location again. read more

Pizza Ranch - Amount of wedges in a 12-piece chicken family meal - Pizza Near Me - Ottumwa, Iowa

I've never had a problem until today we got here at 6:30 and they had no food at all. Very upsetting

I am elated that Ottumwa now has a Pizza Ranch. The food is delicious, the environment is clean, the employees are courteous and friendly. It is a wonderful establishment that is family oriented. I highly recommend Pizza Ranch for a dining out experience. read more

Delicious pizza, good salad bar, some of the best friend chicken I've ever had. At first glance it seems odd to have this combination but it works! It's all buffet style but when you pay for the buffet do you let them know what kind of specialty so you would like them to make and then they bring it to your table and ask you how many pieces of that do you want before putting the rest on the buffet for others. That's pretty cool. They have ice cream and dessert pizza also available and the ice cream is really super creamy. I was torn between four and five stars because the employees were unfriendly ( even a little grouchy), but then I figured everyone is entitled to a bad day so went with the 5 read more

Am an out of state Truck Driver. Checked this place out when I passed it going to Walmart. Decided to check it out. I really liked the fried chicken here. A good country style recipe. Crunchy outside, tender juicy inside. My only wish, would be a better grade of mashed potatoes. Seemed to be a pasty box/instant type. The pizza bar was ok. I didn't stop in for the pizza. Salad bar was fresh with good selections. Dessert bar was Dessert Style pizza. A lot of sweetness with an Ice Cream machine. Overall, I would stop in again, for the Chicken Country style bar. read more

Pizza Ranch is Awesome!!!! Awesome chicken and really good pizza and salad I was impressed. Grew up in Ottumwa but left after graduation for the service. I try to come home once a year too see family and eat iowa's best food. Well Pizza Ranch is now on my list of restaurants to eat at whenever I get to come home. Highly recommend Pizza Ranch. read more

Just sad. Not worth $10 a person. The pizza on the buffet was dried out and mediocre. The salad bar had no lettuce - a full bin of spinach - but no lettuce to make a salad. Our first and last trip. read more

The buffet pizza was good, but dry. The salad looked rotten (not good at all). The desert pizza was very old, crusty, and hard. I recommend it since it's cheap and it would probably be better if it was earlier in the day. We came at 6:30 pm. read more

We went to Pizza Ranch after a long day of moving into a new house. The place was busy but clean. The chicken was good and the pizzas were decent also. There were many special order pizzas on the buffet which made me a little nervous because I didn't know all that was in them. The basic pizzas were good. Overall this was a good experience and we plan to go back. It was a nice big meal with no frills. read more

I live in Kansas City , and they just built one of these there. I stay here for work so obviously my options are limited in ottumwa. I really liked this eatery, of course on opening day every ottumwanite in town is heading here, what else have they got to do! so pizza ranch is going to be pushed to clean tables, stock food, and have cashiers that are not nervous their first day. When I have gone the place is busy, clean and the food is hot and stocked. If you want a pizza you don't see, then you ask them for it and they bring it to your table. The fried chicken is awesome, bbq, salad bar and dessert bar and unlimited refills on beverages are included. I can feel my waist line expanding already and can't wait for the one by my house to open. read more

Jesus, guys, give them a break. Obviously they're not gonna have their s**t together on their OPENING NIGHT. For God's sake, most of their employees are working for the first time in their lives. I've gone there multiple times since they've opened, and I've always left satisfied. I even walked in and ordered a pizza to go, and they gave me a complimentary drink while I waited. I love their buffalo chicken pizza, as well as the BLT, and lots of others from there. I recommend this place to everyone. There's no reason this restaurant should be short of a 5 star rating. It's a great environment, and great pizza for the price. read more

Ok, I admit it. Buffets are not good for me. If the food is good, I can try way too many offerings. The Ottumwa Pizza Ranch can really fill me up. It is a newer location, opening in 2012. There is adequate parking and plenty of seating space. When I entered today I received a prompt and friendly greeting. While paying I was asked (as always) for special requests so they could meet my desires. And when asked, don't be afraid to request your favorite dessert pizza as well as any traditional one. Food was hot on the buffet and replenished regularly. My special order was delivered to my table ("How many pieces would you like?") in a very reasonable time. But no waiting--I had been to the buffet! Of course, the chicken was super. With salad, pizza, chicken and fixings, and dessert (including soft serve at this location), there is plenty to choose from. Tables were cleaned promptly when I have been there, and there are staff members circulating to pick up plates as you finish. Compared to Ci Ci's pizza buffet, give me Pizza Ranch any day (though Ci Ci's has the best sweet rolls around!). And look for the specials. Example: Monday and Wednesday senior buffet is $6.99 all day. A deal. Bring your appetite and save up on those calories all day. You'll get your fill here. Recommended. read more

Had plenty of food the whole time.. They bring your "favorite" pizza to you and ask how many slices you want of it.. Picked up our plates almost immediately when done.. Great place and great service read more

My wife and I ate at Pizza Ranch often but noticed they took from the salad bar three things that we like. Cottage cheese,cole slaw and potato salad. We asked why they took it off and the employee said that they had to. This was in Ottumwa but we went to one in Fairfield and they had all of the above on the salad bar. We don't eat at the Pizza Ranch now as much as we used to. read more

My family been to pizza ranch several times since their grand opening. Everything seems to be fine every time we eat there. But last time we finished our plates and about to leave the restaurant. We found out that there was a roach crawling from our table to the wall. we ended up leaving the restaurant right away. We never come back again read more
