This isn’t your typical buffet; the main entrees are just pizza and fried chicken, complemented by a decent variety of sides like mashed potatoes, fries, corn, and salad, along with a small dessert selection. I didn’t mind the limited options, but some picky eaters might be disappointed if they don’t know what to expect. Pizza is, of course, their specialty, and they did offer a good variety. That said, I found the taste nothing extraordinary, and it doesn’t quite compare to a typical delivery pizza from places like Papa John’s. But I didn’t really expect it to; this is about value, and I certainly got my money's worth. My kids, who are usual fans of pizza and fries, had no complaints. They particularly enjoyed the decent-sized game area, where they could play some games before returning to the dining area for seconds. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to add another entree option, perhaps something like hot dogs. I'd probably avoid this place without my kids, but when I do have them with me, it’s a solid choice for lunch.

The chicken was incredibly fresh, served hot, and absolutely delicious! I also sampled the Garlic Cheese Pizza, which was delightful. However, the corn tasted a bit watered down, and the chocolate chip cookie pizza felt slightly undercooked. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, and both the cashier, Elliana, and the rest of the staff in the dining area were very friendly and polite.

My grandkids had a fantastic time in the game room at this location as well. It’s wonderful to have such a great place nearby. It’s a significant improvement over what the previous owner had! As of 11/18/23, the experience remains just as enjoyable as my initial visit. On 11/19/23, I booked one of their party rooms for a 70th birthday celebration with 20 guests, and everyone had a wonderful time. The grandkids especially loved playing in the game room!

This will be a must visit every time I'm back in the cities. The pizza is great. They have about 5 different styles of crust and will make you any type upon request. I had them make me a bronco pizza which is all meat on skillet crust which i would compare to a pizza hut pan pizza style. It was delicious. They have cheesy garlic bread and surprisingly for a pizza buffet they have fried chicken. And the fried chicken is incredible, all pieces were super hot, juicy and a delicious fried skin to them. For dessert they have cactus bread which is a cinnamon roll type dessert pizza along with a hot cookie skillet pizza. The ice cream dispensers had some of the the creamiest, thickest best soft serve I've ever had. I walked out of pizza ranch super full and didn't eat anything the rest of the day. I would give this place 10 stars if i could!

Went here for my daughters bday and played in the arcade and won so much that it felt like both my kids' birthdays!!
