Pizza Ranch

I’ve been here 4 times now. It’s been hit or miss each time. I like that they offer a gluten free crust, but it usually comes out burned. While it may be gluten free, it is prepared with gluten food.
Last night we called in an order to be picked up. The order had to be repeated three times. It was around 4:30 so not a busy time of day. I went to pick it up. Got there about 10 minutes too early. There were no customers. Went ahead and paid. They didn’t take the $ 5.00 off for points. The guy at the register said no, you’ll get it next time. The last time we were there he said that $$ would be taken off this time. (My family has gone often enough to get points. I have only had this about 4 times)
After waiting, I noticed the manager? and the guy talking. She sent him over to tell me they put cheese on the pizza that requested no cheese. But if wanted to wait, they could make up another one. Another 15 minutes. I said no because then the other pizza would be cold. She said OK sorry. And tried to ring it up. I told her I had already paid. She tried to ring it up anyway. I told her again and she said OK I guess you did.
That was it. No adjustment made for their mistakes. No offer of any kind of coupon for next time. something would have been nice. There was no excuse for this. The order receipt even said no cheese. They only had to make two pizzas.
If you are looking for decent service, this isn’t the place. I’m giving it 3 stars because my family likes their pizza for the most part. I won’t eat it anymore.

Riding the Amtrak train through and was able to get delivery in our 2 minute stop. That is a level of service I have rarely seen.

Best staff in Iowa
My friends and I had an epically challenging ride on the Amtrak California Zephyr. We heard the announcement (read, «out of food»), and dinner was going to be Snowpiercer style. (

We called Pizza Ranch from Omaha, talked with Jordan, and put in the order. Harper was at the station, on the platform when the train pulled in. Everyone, everyone on the train thought it could not be done, but it was.
The pizza (simple pepperoni) was awesome, the chicken (hot, because anything else is a waste) was boss. We will never forget the team that made our sub par adventure awesome!

Bland pizza. Rarely do I have a slice of pizza and not enjoy it. A little sauce wouldn’t hurt it, and some spices would really help. You can’t just put tasteless cheese on pizza dough and expect it to be tasty. I believe Pizza Ranch survives mainly because a little town like Creston can’t draw any decent competition.

Not a big fan of Pizza Ranch in general but this location seems to be one of the better operations I’ve stumbled across. My grandmother swore that this was the «best chicken in town!»
The buffet is well placed and they seem to turn over the food items fairly quickly. I never felt like I found a piece of pizza or chicken here that had been sitting for an unreasonable amount of time.
Nice number of larger rooms for private parties and some arcade and table games in the back.

OK so I’m originally from Iowa, but I’ve been living out in Colorado for the last 10 years. My parents still live in Iowa and they happen to live in Creston. Not a big town by any means so you can’t be too picky when it comes to food. You either make your own or you choose from the few restaurants they have. Pizza Ranch is OK, they have the «Mile-​long Buffet&trade» or you can order off the menu they have a variety of specialty pizzas. They also have the «Country’s Best Chicken». Pretty good I might add. It’s a chain but for the area you can’t complain. If you’re cruising through Creston and are hungry for pizza or chicken, check em’ out. Yee Haw!
