Pizza Ranch is close to being the same everywhere which of course is what corporate wants. I won't disappoint in this review. We were traveling between 2 events in Creston and Des Moines on this day. I mention it was a very hot early summer day because we were already tired and hungry. We were the first and only customers for the evening meal. We nearly drove away as there were no cars nearby. The food was fresh and the place clean. The manager and then a waitress got to us and both made sure to mention they could make a different pizza if we wished. In complete honesty, we are not fans of Pizza Ranch pizza; it lacks taste and feels like an assembly line product. But, we do enjoy their chicken. The salads are always fresh and a little ice cream at the end never hurts. Having read recent reviews we would disagree with the cleanliness and being early, there was a full salad bar. My observation concerning the franchise is it seems to be going the way of many before them. A great idea, good product, not great food at reasonable prices........BUT! The prices are now well into the range of better restaurants. It still attracts the kids as we took my 9-year-old grandson to one recently and he loved it......But then he is 9. My advice to corporate is to reevaluate yourselves....before a newer and better idea takes over. I add this because ........I can see why the reviews read as they do.

Delightful and courteous Staff. Food was plentiful and tasty. They are consistently putting out fresh chicken and pizzas. Best fried chicken ever! Extremely accommodating crew at this location. They work hard to please the customer.

Great place to eat. Friendly employees.

It was okay, there are much better pizza Ranch's that we like better. The service was okay, and the bathrooms were dirty.
Mary Roberts
Server Alex F. was extremely courteous. Asked me if I had any pizza requests when I paid. Then wait staff was very prompt in removing empty plates. Friendly.

They ask you what pizzas you want, then look at you funny when they bring it to the table and you want to eat the entire thing. If you tell them more than two pizzas they will make one half and half, instead of giving you all three. Fried chicken is good, pizza is okay.

So this is a Rant & Rave. 1st of all Pizza Ranch really let us down yesterday. My daughter had reserved the back room for our granddaughters 1st birthday party. There was a total of 30 people we all get there yesterday & the manager informs my daughter that everyone has to order the buffet that we are not allowed to just order pizza. And that he would also charge 2 per child. So if you were to add that up it would have cost like $600 in total for everyone. So I told him we will not be doing that & we would take our business to pizza hut, that I am sure they would love our business. So I called pizza hut & asked to speak with the manager & his name is Max by the way. I told him what our situation was & he said give me 10 minutes & we will be ready for you all. So we arrived at pizza hut & they had everything set up for us. They accommodate us last minute & did an amazing job doing so. They definitely went above & beyond & our granddaughter had a great 1st birthday & the pizza was great! So thanks too pizza hut & all there workers yesterday!
