Pizza Ranch Menu
Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.
Diabetics at Pizza Hut
Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.
Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:
You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.
Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta. However, you must skip Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs and Garlic Bread as it is too high in sodium and sugar.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations.

The best chicken, salad bar, pizza, the cleanest place, the nicest management and staff, If you don't like it just stay away. We need more room to sit ;-)
(5)Nicole S.
Just finished at Pizza Ranchs lunch buffet for $9.99. The salad bar was nicer than others in Eau Claire, and it was cleaner than others. The fried chicken was full of flavor, but slightly over cooked. My husband said the pizza wasn't his favorite. He thinks the sauce was too plain. For the price of lunch, Id rather go elsewhere.

We used to order often enough to benefit from their frequent buyer card but over time we've kind of quit ordering. Their pizza and chicken are great! The chicken in particular is yummy. Our problem was service related. Touted as a delivery joint we'd call only to hear: 1: sorry, someone called in sick. We can't deliver tonight 2: sorry we turned off the chicken fryers (6:00 pm) and don't have chicken tonight 3: sorry, we don't have enough people working and can't deliver tonight. 4: sorry, we no longer deliver 5: sorry, we deliver pizza but not chicken. On and on and on. We live about 2 miles from the place and offered to pick up and heard. 1: sorry, we already cleaned the chicken fryers 2: sorry, we're closing early tonight I can't remember the other excuses. Suffice it to say we started wondering if the business ever did business? It became a joke to say "Are you sure it's during the 15 minutes they are open" when considering a meal there My advice? Stop in for the lunch buffet. The food is good. The salad bar doesn't have a lot of choices but does the job for the most part. The pizza bar is great, as is the chicken bar. I'd give this restaurant 4 stars if the business hours and methods weren't so messed up. Worth a stop. Great value for your buck. Just call first to make sure they are doing business when you want to eat. #firstworldproblem

Customer-Centered Pizza and Chicken Buffet with Great Variety and Superb Service I honestly, truthfully feel bad for this place based on some of the other reviews on here. I liked it and would recommend it as long as read this short disclaimer: First, keep in mind I am rating this as a Pizza Buffet. Again...5 Stars...but...Pizza Buffet. If you want a native born Italian to hand toss you a wood-fired pizza, this is not for you. If you want to compare this to your favorite pizza from your favorite pizza place, move along. If you are looking for a lot of interesting flavor combos, a nice clean setting, and excellent service, come right in and enjoy. Pizza on its own, 3 stars. Pizza + Service, 4 Stars. Pizza Buffet + Service, 5 stars. My Experience: Let's start at the beginning. I walk in to the guy explaining that if the couple in front of me is going to order anything more than 1 pizza and two drinks, the buffet is a far superior deal. I come up and they ring up one buffet for 10.40 after tax. So its the lowest possible double $ possible. Reasonable considering I did not eat breakfast and I am ready to eat! Seat yourself...awesome, they have tables and chairs, they have booths, large windows, a smaller private room. Booth by the window, table can move and make room for all the pizza I plan on eating. Someone ranted on here about Pizza Ranch and how that doesn't make sense. WHO GIVES A SH..... Listen it has a western theme, its cohesive, its clean, that's what matters. You only notice this however if you take your eyes off all the food you are eating. If there was a barbecue place called BBQ Outhouse and was Outhouse themed, if the food was good, the service was good, and the place was clean people would eat there. Speaking of Outhouse, they bathroom was very clean (usually not a given at a buffet). Drink time, I fill up the enormous cup with my choice of Coke Products, Fruit Punch, PowerAde, Iced Teas, Coffees, and water. Awesome, diet coke and hi-c fruit punch. Boom. I'm already winning. Food time, they have a long salad bar with two types of lettuce, tons of toppings, a variety of dressings, and even some soup at the end. They had a fried chicken station with mashed potatoes, biscuits, wedges, all sorts of fried and barbecue chicken, and some bacon cheddar potatoes. And the Pizza station, that's right, I just got to pizza, the name of the whole restaurant. They have 7 types of pizza on the buffet. All of the pizzas have a little display tag telling you their name and what all the ingredients are. This is a buffet best practice, because Texan Stampede doesn't actually say anything to me. I get some pizza, some chicken, a little side salad, and sit down. The pizza is very good...for a pizza buffet. I repeat "for a Buffet." The key here is variety so try a little bit of everything. As I am eating, one of the employees comes up and asks me how everything is and can he get me anything, I heard they do something called "Buffet Your Way" which mean if there is a pizza that you want on the buffet that isn't out there, you tell them, they make it for you AND they bring you the first slice. They don't throw it down for the vultures to snatch away from you, they bring the WHOLE PIZZA directly to your table and serve you as many slices as you like! That is amazing! So first test, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and (beyond the regular menu) Sausage Pepperoni Onion Green Pepper Jalepeno...the response. "No Problem." Amazing. They came and asked maybe 3 times which was plenty; Not enough to be annoying, just enough so I never felt like I was waiting. So no complaining about they don't have the pizza you like. They will make it and make sure you get some. After noon rolled around, the lunch rush came and I overheard one of the managers tell one of the employees to drop what they are doing and get 2 lines of pizza in the oven, also let me stress this happened BEFORE the buffet ran out. There was never an empty buffet. Lastly, before making assumptions, they have a large mixer in the back and several ingredients so I'm fairly certain it's fresh made pizza too. I ended up leaving a 50% tip at a buffet. They did everything right. I couldn't believe it, what a terrific restaurant experience...and that is not just for a buffet, the customer service was truly exceptional. My Meal: I'm not going to list it all individually but I probably had 13 types of pizza and they were all good. I advise going for bold flavors. Steak and Onion Pizza (A Must Have)

It might not be the worst pizza buffet in the area, but most certainly not the best by a long shot. Add in their overt proselytizing and I'll pass--I don't need to be beaten over the head with their religious beliefs while eating their mediocre pizza.
(1)Eric F.
Excuse me? Pizza Ranch? Please explain the connection between pizza and 'ranch'. Anyway, really uninspired pizza and a really unspired decor. Really seems like a glorified cattle feed.
(1)Joe G.
We've been to several Pizza Ranch locations, but this was without a doubt the best of the bunch. Perhaps we were just lucky because we arrived a little after lunchtime. There was a manager running around keeping things moving, and he was literally all over the place, ranging from running the register to monitoring the buffet to clearing tables. He obviously didn't feel like he was above helping out to keep the place running smoothly. He came around twice to ask how things were, and even noticed when one of the kids was looking for something specific at the buffet, and ran back into the kitchen to accomodate, bringing it to the table when it was ready. Great service is something you often don't see at buffets, but this guy was clearly motivated, and he was making the difference between a merely good restaurant and a stellar experience.
(5)Cherie' D.
I love this place!!! I think their chicken is the absolute best fried chicken that I have ever had. I think the pizza is nothing to write home about, but the fact that you can order whatever pizza you want for the buffet and they will bring you the first slice(s) is a great! The customer service is fantastic and they give you large pop glasses. My only real complaint is that they are closed on Sundays. I cannot tell you how many times I've thought...let's go to Pizza Ranch, and it was Sunday. Highly recommend!
(4)Drew R.
Not impressed. Way better pizza buffets out there for less money.
(2)Michael S.
Most pizzas are meh but you can order a buffet your way so you're guaranteed to get what you want. My personal favorite is the Garlic Cheese, yum :D Chicken, ribs, and homemade chips are pretty decent. Love their Cactus Bread! Service is always fast and friendly Late night pizza buffet on Fridays and Saturdays is like $6. It only includes pizza, cactus bread, and soda.
(5)Jason K.
LOL. Pizza ranch. Welcome to the land of stuffing your face with crappy pizza. How is this place still open?? Oh yeah, it's the land of stuffing your face with crappy pizza.
(1)Aanders D.
Great service with a unique, nice atmosphere; however, I'd agree with my wife who thought all the pizzas tasted pretty identical.
(3)Chris P.
This place is great. Quite a variety of pizzas, the Ranch Sticks are awesome!
(5)Patrick K.
Good place and good variety, but a bit pricey. Lunch buffet is ~$10, whereas other pizza places such as Godfather's and Pizza Hut (just a few minutes down Clairemont) are much more affordable.

Great service is something you often don't see at buffets, but this guy was clearly motivated, and he was making the difference between a merely good restaurant and a stellar experience.

The best chicken, salad bar, pizza, the cleanest place, the nicest management and staff, If you don't like it just stay away. We need more room to sit ;-)

Just finished at Pizza Ranchs lunch buffet for $9.99. The salad bar was nicer than others in Eau Claire, and it was cleaner than others. The fried chicken was full of flavor, but slightly over cooked. My husband said the pizza wasn't his favorite. He thinks the sauce was too plain. For the price of lunch, Id rather go elsewhere.
