Pizza Ranch

I’m updating my review from a few years ago when I rated this location one star. At the time, the restaurant was filthy and poorly managed, but I’m happy to say that’s no longer the case. During our recent visit, I was genuinely impressed by how clean everything was. The staff were friendly and management checked in on our table more than once to make sure we had everything we needed. Unfortunately, there is one lingering issue that is difficult to overlook: the food sitting under the heat lamps. Because this location doesn’t get much traffic, even on a Sunday during prime dinner time, most of the buffet food ends up sitting too long. The fried chicken, pizzas, and sides were dried out and stale from being under heat lamps for too long. It’s a shame because the food here is excellent. W

Their fried chicken is the best I’ve had in Des Moines. Really like the ‘order your way’ pizza that is included in the buffet. Faster than most ‘fast food,’ but 100% better!

This Pizza Ranch is AMAZING!!! Salad bar is so good, lots of different salad dressings and fresh peas! The potato wedges and chicken were delicious and hot! They have twist ice cream!!!! I hope my home Pizza Ranch reads this and gets gets the hint....Also, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was such a nice meal! 10/10!!!

The best employees, they’re always so great with the kids! They always do a great job at keeping the buffet fully stocked with fresh food.

Value for Money. Loved the Buffet with range of Pizzas, Fries, Potato Wedges, Veggies, Salad, Mac and Desert Options for Vegetarians. They made fresh veggie and cheese pizza for my needs. Alot of Chicken and Pepperoni options.
