The real issue is that they market…read morethemselves as a made to order pasta place - but everything comes in separate containers, not cooked or heated together, not mixed, not sauced, not a cohesive dish. Also the pictures are misleading, and you get less than they suggest. For example, the sides pictured are a pile of garlic bread or a few breadsticks. We paid $2 extra to pick the option for the cheesy garlic bread side (vs regular garlic bread) and it was a single 2 in by 2 in tiny square of garlic bread with about a TSP of cheese on it. What is the $2 for? The dressing for the Italian salad was basically pure olive oil. And of course, was on the side vs a dressed salad. Definitely should change their slogan from "a taste of Italy" - it's not even good American Italian.

A lot of the food from these places have the same menu, and the food tastes the same... tasteless. I suspect that this is because a lot of these places get their food from the same suppliers. Now I don't know where Tower Pizza is getting their food, but they mainly focus on Pizza and appears that they are selling a lot of it. Which means no freezer burn shit. The pizza is tasty!!! My only criticism is the over emphasis on pizza sauce. Now it should be noted the restaurant is literally a hole in the wall with only a hand full of tables, but is very family friendly.

I went to Pizza ranch about 30 years ago here in wadena and I refuse to go back until last year. The pizza I had 30 years ago was so bad I refused to go back. Well they changed their menu around so it's a lot more than what they used to have. The waitress was very on Target with refilling drinks and getting whatever we needed. We now go to Pizza ranch regularly and my son and daughter will get whatever they feel like eating and they enjoy it. I get the chicken and salad bar and JoJo's. They're chicken is one of the best in Minnesota. I gave it a three-star review because of the first time I was there but since then I would have to give it a four to a four and a half star

I would never eat here again. Then on top of it they charged an $8 fee to use our credit card! Cheapo! Disgusting I will never eat here again EVER!!! Unbelievable! I eat at very upscale restaurants and this one is an absolute NO!! Yuck he said I ate half my entree. No I ate most of the noodles and left the majority of the shrimp and fake lobster. I tried to be polite and not say anything initially but it was so disgusting I would never have brought any of the leftovers home. I eat shrimp and scallops all the time at fine dining restaurants in AZ and this was disgusting. Shrimp is always my favorite but I would give a negative 5 for taste and poor management by the owner Jason! We spent $163 at his restaurant and he wasn't willing to do anything about his disgusting shrimp/fake scallops entree! Beware of this place! Ugh

It was pretty dead on a Saturday night around 8:30 (maybe because they close at ten). I tried the honey citrus salmon and my mom tried a burger with chilli. You get fresh buns before the meal. The buns do have lightly melted cheese sprinkled on them that I didn't care for. For my entree, the honey-citrus glaze was really good over the salmon and spinach. I didn't like that the potatoes were also mixed in the spinach with the salmon put atop it all. I felt the potatoes should have been a side dish because they didn't pair well with spinach. I'm basically eating a salmon salad with some potatoes in it... that's not a normal dish. But overall, it was good. Service was without issues. Looks like they have a nice patio for outdoor seating. Parking is plentiful in a big lot out front.
