Thanks to Pizza Ranch for honoring all Veterans with a free buffet meal. My only other response to this would also acknowledging the spouses of the Veterans cause without them keeping the home front intact while we performed our duties away from home. Definitely enjoyed the buffet and everything about it. Thank You again Pizza Ranch.

service was good. No Surgarfree IceTea (only raspberry sugar tea-not good for diabetics). Mashed potatoes were cold. Only the Chicken was hot. Pizza's were not marked to what they were and were cold. Probably wont go back for a long long time.

September 30, 2025

Response from Altoona Pizza Ranch

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the cold mashed potatoes and pizzas, as well as the lack of sugar-free iced tea options. We strive to provide a better experience and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further. Please feel free to call and speak with a manager. We hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future.

There were very few pizza’ choices out on the buffet for the 1st 45 minutes I was there. It was fairly busy also, all people had to eat was chicken. Then a group came in and they brought a whole bunch out all at once. Just for them basically, the average diner they didn’t care about the way I felt.

September 26, 2025

Response from Altoona Pizza Ranch

Waited 10 minutes at the counter before anyone came out of the back to take our money. No cheese pizza. Had to ask and they didn’t let us know when it was done. Iced tea tasted like water and only had Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite for soda.

Response from Altoona Pizza Ranch

Hi Kelly T, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the wait at the counter and the issues with the cheese pizza and iced tea.

The Chicken was over cooked today, to over done to eat, the outside was uneaten, disappointed for the price of the meal. Rest of meal was very good. Might have to think about going back.
