    I was disappointed in the music. Usually I hear wonderful christian music but this was only classic country western
    Response from Pizza Ranch Ames
    Thanks for visiting, Stephen! Pizza Ranch corporate allows Christian or Country music in our restaurants. It sounds like we chose country on the day you stopped by.

    MORE FOOD PLUS MORE PIZZA PUT OUT AND IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU HAD CHICKEN TENNERS OUT ON BUFF ALSO
    Response from Pizza Ranch Ames
    Thanks for visiting, David. I'll pass along the chicken tenders request to corporate, as they are currently not an approved item.

    Excellent customer service.
    The area manager went above and beyond. He was training a night manager when I had told him I wanted to have a slice or two of the cookie, but the children that had just left,had taken the inside of the cookie and left the crust. The area Mgr said he'd make another cookie and bring it directly to the table. Then he said, I'll just box it up for you to take home.
    Response from Pizza Ranch Ames
    I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit, Joe. Thanks for the review, and I hope you'll visit again soon!
