Pizza Ranch, the Midwest-based restaurant known for its legendary buffet, signature pizza, The Country’s Best Chicken®, and family entertainment, officially opened its doors in Texas on Monday, September 21, with the opening of its first location in Tyler.

Located at 4526 South Broadway Avenue in the French Quarter Shopping Center, Pizza Ranch Tyler introduces East Texas to a restaurant experience built around food, family and fun. The new location also features a FunZone Arcade, giving families another reason to make Pizza Ranch a destination for gathering, celebrating and creating memories.

“We are incredibly excited to bring Pizza Ranch to Tyler and to officially plant our flag in Texas,” said Kane Hauber General Manager of Pizza Ranch Tyler. “We’ve been looking forward to introducing this community to what makes Pizza Ranch special, the food, the people, the family atmosphere and the opportunity to be part of the community.”

Pizza Ranch Tyler features the brand’s signature buffet, including fresh-made pizza, The Country’s Best Chicken®, homestyle sides, a fresh salad bar and desserts. Guests can also order favorites for carryout or catering. For guests who want a smaller meal or prefer to choose only their favorite buffet items, the Tyler location also offers Weigh & Pay, allowing guests to fill a container with their favorite buffet selections and pay by weight.

Through fundraising opportunities, catering, community partnerships and local events, Pizza Ranch Tyler plans to work alongside schools, churches, nonprofits, businesses and organizations throughout the Tyler area. Pizza Ranch's vision is “To glorify God by positively impacting the world,” while its mission is “To give every guest a legendary experience.” The company views each restaurant as an opportunity to positively impact the communities it serves.

The restaurant is open every day from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., giving Tyler-area families, organizations and businesses an opportunity to enjoy Pizza Ranch throughout the week.
