The Pizza Ranch is a common chain in the midwest, ranging from franchises in many states. They offer pizza to go, and a pizza buffet that contains salad, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, various pizzas, and ice cream.  On Tuesdays, children under 10 years old can eat for free at the Marion, IA location.  This s

Pizza Buffet 

urely is a benefit for those of us with large families, but make sure to get in before 6pm, otherwise you may not find a table.

The Pizza

Chicago Style:  Yes, No
Crust Thickness:  Thin, Average, Thick

Our group consisted of 7 participants, so we ordered from the dinner buffet, which cost roughly $10.50 per adult. 

The Verdict

The pizzas located on the buffet line were cut in triangular-shaped pieces.  Due to the large variation of pizza toppings combinations, there was no clear favorite amongst the participants.  The cheese, toppings, and sauce was fare-both by amount and quality. The fried chicken, and Dessert pizza were terrific!  I would highly recommend this place for lunch or on Tuesdays when the kids can eat for free.
