Be Friendly

Legendary People

The strength of our brand is found in the quality and character of our people. Engaging, friendly, and talented individuals who are passionate about work and life. People who believe in the brand and are driven to be legendary.

Cravable Food

We want to give our guests "food to remember", food that they can't wait to have again, food that they want to tell others about. Whether it's on our full buffets, our Buffet Your Way, or on a carryout order, we will only serve food that is cravable.

Service From The Heart

It is as simple as always having a smile, or a please and a thank you at the ready. It's about perceiving and meeting our guests' needs and desires before they need to ask us. But above all, it's providing the genuine warmth and love you've come to expect from family.

Great Value

Our guests provide us with their hard earned money for the experience we provide. In turn, we will work relentlessly to keep the Pizza Ranch experience as affordable as possible. Our goal is to "give more than we take" from our guests.

Comfortable Environment

Our guests will feel "comfortable" during their visit to Pizza Ranch. We achieve this by providing exceptionally clean and updated restaurants for them to dine in. Our team members accomplish this by presenting themselves with a clean and professional appearance.

Bringing Fun to Life

The FunZone is more than an arcade — it’s a key part of the Pizza Ranch experience. Since launching our first FunZone in 2014, we’ve helped bring family-friendly entertainment to communities across the Midwest. Every FunZone gives guests a chance to play, laugh, and make memories together — extending the fun long after the last slice is gone.

FunZones play a vital role in enhancing the guest experience. They turn a family meal into a full day of fun, drive community connection, and offer something special that keeps guests coming back. Whether you’re hosting a birthday party, fixing a game, or celebrating a big prize win at redemption, you’re part of the energy that makes the FunZone unforgettable.

Brewing Hope

Pizza Ranch is proud to partner with the Tesfa Foundation to help supply internationally sourced restaurant coffee - and support literacy and education for Ethiopian children.

Pizza Ranch and the Tesfa Foundation have partnered together since 2013. With our legendary Ranch Roast coffee blend, the partnership has grown to serving three elementary schools in Ethiopia - Azedebo, Fundame, and Kololo. These three schools educate over 800 students and since 2018, we have provided a daily school lunch program.

Pizza Ranch restaurants contribute $.50 for every pound of coffee they use in the restaurants to non-profit Tesfa Foundation to oversee the operation of three schools in the region where Pizza Ranch’s coffee is sourced.

Community Impact Fundraisers

At Pizza Ranch, we don’t just serve great food—we make a difference in the communities we call home. One of the ways we do that is through Community Impact Fundraising Events, and as a team member, you get to be part of the action.

During these events, your team helps serve guests while supporting local schools, charities, or families in need. It’s a chance to work side by side with your coworkers, rally around a shared purpose, and connect with neighbors in a meaningful way.

Service Trips

At Pizza Ranch, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are. That’s why we offer unique opportunities for our team members to make a difference, both locally and globally. Each year, Support Center and restaurant team members are invited to join an annual mission trip to Jamaica, where they can help communities in need, experience new cultures, and see firsthand the impact their efforts can make on a global scale. It’s a powerful way to grow personally while making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

We also believe in supporting our local communities. At the Support Center, every department has the chance to participate in volunteer service hours with organizations that matter to them. From lending a hand at local nonprofits to supporting community events, these opportunities let team members work together, give back, and strengthen connections right where we live and work.

All The Perks

Whether you're serving guests, leading a team, or learning new skills, you're part of something bigger-where your work matters and your growth is encouraged. You'll even get some great perks with it too!
