Worst Pizza Ranch experience in 30 years. I started going to Pizza Ranch in college in Orange City 30 years ago. This was easily my worst experience. I brought my family of 7 on Labor Day on my wife's 50th birthday. Attempted to use a 25% off coupon that was sold through our high school football team. It SPECIFICALLY stated it was for the Urbandale location. However upon presenting it, was told that it was not valid and was not approved by the owner to honor. Asked if we could speak with the owner and was told they just left. Fine, we were there anyway and paid price of $102 for all 7 of us. As we walked in, we noticed that there were literally 3 pieces of pizza on the buffet, 6 old chicken breasts that weren't replaced until 45 minutes after we arrived. To top things off. There was a sign on the pop machines stating only Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite was available due to changing over to Pepsi. Overall, an extremely disappointing experience for a loyal 30 year customer. Certainly NOT worth the $102 price tag we paid. Had I known, we would have gone elsewhere.

I had to ask someone else for their name because they weren’t wearing a name tag — which is common here — and honestly, most people tend to blow me off because of my nationality or how I look. They assume I don’t understand, but I do. I’ve had a bad experience here before with another person, but this time, Shawn / Sean? completely restored my faith in humanity. They went out of their way to make sure I was helped and treated me with genuine respect. You can tell they care about the customer experience and take their role seriously. Whether they’re a supervisor or not, they carry themselves like someone who truly leads by example.

Thank you so much, Fotuma, for sharing your experience with us. We're so happy to hear that Sean made such a positive impact during your visit and restored your faith in our service. We truly value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Pizza Ranch soon!

This place use to be great. The last 2 times have been 👎 I waited 20 minutes for them to get me 2 chicken legs cooked for my 18month old babies (all that was there was thighs) the salad bar was a disaster & the workers cared less about my girls being hungry (one said well there’s chicken up there) and someone else said, we’re usually not this busy. Long story short we ate sides & took our girls home. I will not return to this location.

July 2, 2025

Response from Urbandale Pizza Ranch

Hi Tracy, thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm so sorry to hear about the long wait for chicken legs and the condition of the salad bar during your visit. We truly value your feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Please contact us directly to speak with a manager, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future.

We love this Pizza Ranch location. The employees are always very personable and helpful. The buffet is always full of food. We took too many pieces of pizza and I didn’t want it to get thrown away and when I asked if I could take it home, I was informed they don’t throw it away but it is given away and not discarded. I was glad to hear that because there are lots of people who need food and can’t afford much.
