I went on a Saturday for lunch several weeks after they opened. The parking lot was full which I took as a good sign, but popularity is not a sign of quality. When you arrive you don't actually get to see the buffet before you order as it is around the corner. I thought that it would be like a better Cicis pizza but it wasn't even that good. They only have 6 small pizzas on the buffet for a dining room that seats hundreds of people, but they are actually doing you a favor. The pizza itself is not very good, it tasted like food service pizza you might have gotten from a high school cafeteria. They add exotic toppings to make it a little more palatable but the crust cheese and sauce are so poor that it is a failed effort.
The other aspects of the salad bar don't fare much better. The pictures of the salad bar show a hearty looking spring mix, but the reality was that the salad was shredded iceburg like you might put on a taco. This is not an exaggeration, that was the actual lettuce that was present. Even though the name of the place is pizza ranch there were a lot more non pizza items present like fried chicken etc. This place must bank of one time visits, because I can't see anyone going more than once.
