Pizza Ranch presents a sprawling buffet with a particular emphasis on its titular offering. Dozens of pizza varieties circulate, from standard pepperoni to less common configurations. Beyond pizza, the fried chicken stands out, consistently moist with a crisp, seasoned coating. Mashed potatoes accompany it, a creamy counterpoint. The salad bar provides a selection of greens and toppings, though replenishment can be slow, leaving some stations depleted.
Staff circulate with dishes, though interaction with bussers is minimal, lacking a greeting or a smile. Refills of drinks, specifically the sweet tea and certain soda flavors, sometimes require staff intervention. For those hosting events, the catering experience proved disappointing, with salad ingredients appearing aged and chicken overcooked. Desserts, including a sweet pizza option, also fell short of expectations during this off-site occasion.
Despite the buffet's unevenness, the fried chicken and the breadth of pizza choices remain notable. The availability of private meeting rooms offers an added utility for the establishment.
