(398 Total Reviews)- September 14, 2023Rating 5.0Always delicious food / best fried chicken in town 😋Heather was very helpful picking up our plates for 18 of us!!That is all!!September 16, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch Independence, MOHi Rosemary Frerman, thank you for the stars!!!!
- September 13, 2023Rating 5.0It was great customer service. Probably the best we ever had! The gentleman taking the money gave us the discounts you offer, my $5 reward and took a special pizza order with no hesitation. The woman waiting on us seemed like management and may have been. She did a fantastic job removing plates and getting my special order. Then I asked if they would be having the cookie at the lunch buffet and next thing you know she is bringing one to the table. Super nice and very professional. Exceptional lunch. I hate that I do not remember their names.September 16, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch Independence, MOTracy, M, thank you so much for sharing! Pizza Ranch values our loyal guests and it’s our goal to provide legendary service. We hope to serve you again soon!

- September 9, 2023Rating 3.0Normally chicken is the best in KC. Today the skin was soggy, far from crisp. The chicken was rubbery. I couldn't even bite a piece off, I had to tear it off. I didn't eat it. Bad chicken today. Pizza was ok.September 16, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch Independence, MOWe're sorry to hear about this, LindaB. We would truly appreciate talking further about this and have the opportunity to make it right with you. Please call the restaurant to speak with a manager so we can help!
- September 9, 2023Rating 5.0Food was good, everything was replenished quickly. Lady was great about picking up our dirty dishes since there was 6 adults an 3 kids in our party.great place to eat, I love the salad bar.September 16, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch Independence, MOHi Debbie Wood!

- September 7, 2023Rating 3.0The front register person was nowhere to be seen for a handful of minutes, and was rushing the transaction; did not give directions on where the cups were or anything / took my money and handed me a receipt and then turned and walked to the back again.
Pricing is way too high - especially for one person on a weekday at lunch! $16? Ouch!
The buffet is lacking - I was just at the Emporia location three weeks ago and it was AWESOME, made me crave it again, but then this location (Independence) didn’t live up to my expectations. (The lack of variety in the salad bar and pizzas, as well as the lack of stocked utensils/condiments contributed greatly to this.)
The two staff ladies who were stocking the buffet and bussing tables were very kind and on top of their jobs - they deserve praise and raises!
And the patrons (many of them regulars) were nice to be around/created a safe environment. I even saw the manager make a special trip to sit with a few of the regulars for a bit and chat - I can appreciate that kind of manager!
I will praise this location on making sure they had enough dessert pizza variety and cookies and kept them stocked the whole time I was there - not an easy task! Nice job!
TLDR: It wasn’t the best or the worst.

- August 20, 2023Rating 4.0Good service from our table server. Cost of the bill for three people makes me question the amount paid vs. the value of the food and drink and if $16.89 per person is worth what we get. Also, disappointed that the ice cream machine was not working. Food was good and the pizza buffet was kept stocked, for a change. Overall, we like Pizza Ranch and will go back.August 31, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch Independence, MOThank you for your feedback, Scott V.. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve you. We always appreciate feedback and will share this with our team.
