On Quality & Quantity

Changed crust and now it doesn't get crispy and bland tasting

Update - the customer service and quality is so, so bad that it's no longer worth getting pizza here. My expensive GF pizza didn't have sauce today. A previous time I got a piece of hair on my pizza. It's always cut ridiculously. And if you would like to call you ask someone about it, the phones are NEVER answered. NOT WORTH IT. I have Celiac's and eat their pizza with no issue. The crust is the most similar to regular pizza that I've been able to find and they actually have a slew of toppings to choose from instead of just one. They have a separate area to prep and bake the pizza on something to keep off a regular pan. According to my husband the regular pizza is good too

Celiac friendly?

No

Unfortunately, it was one of those places that lack knowledge. They packed my pizza in a box. When I asked for a tray, I was told they can’t do that because they come in contact with gluten, but yet told me their plates don’t come in contact with gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Personal pan gf pizza brought to your table that was delicious! Best gf pizza crust I've had so far! Cheeseburger pizza was great. Salad in buffet had lots of options as well.

Great gluten free pizza with lots of topping options. Also some nice options on the salad bar.

CROSS CONTAMINATION WARNING While the staff is super nice and helpful this restaurant is NOT celiac friendly. The gluten free pizza is cooked on the same surface as regular pizza. The ingredients are the same as well. the salad bar has options and is a decent deal for $7, but that's pretty much it. CROSS CONTAMINATION WARNING

Staff is knowledgeable about gluten allergies. I’ve eaten here a handful of times and never got sick. Thin crust only. Unsure if celiac friendly as I am only allergic to wheat.

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter is not super sensitive but she got incredibly sick here twice. I’m 99% sure they gave her a gluten crust even though I called the owner and he said they didn’t. It’s unfortunate because we have had luck at other locations and at this location in the past. We eat out frequently and she never has reactions from cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten-free crust, sufficient choices, and they try their best to reduce CC.

Celiac friendly?

No

We arrived in Harlan having found this via the app, found they guarantee a gluten free pizza crust but could not guarantee GF toppings. WHATS THE POINT of a gf crust then!!!!

Have never been sick here! They cook it covered to avoid contamination and staff seemed to care about my allergy and avoid contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was willing to listen, but dedicated space makes it hard to not cross contaminate. Not many options in town with a group of young kids. Tried the GF pizza, daughter got glutened and down for the count for 2 days after.

The staff was knowledgeable. I ordered the buffet and They brought my gluten free pizza in a to go box to my table. I liked that because it didn’t have to go on the buffet table with the other pizzas. I took home what was left of my pizza. The gf pizza was good and I had no reactions to it. (Wheat allergy)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

the gluten free pizza is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pizza was great! It was a little burnt though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great pizza! Very knowledgeable!

The lady told me they could only Guarantee the crust as gluten free. I did not order from there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My son gets gluten free pizza from here regularly with no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have gone here dozens of times and I have never gotten sick. Everyone seems to know about celiac disease and gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve ordered here lots of times and only got sick once. They were very kind about it and said they would use this as a teaching moment.

Celiac friendly?

No

Cross contamination was not great. I had a stomach issue with in minutes. They do try including bring the gluten free pizzas out in a box to your table.

Nix this and probably all Pizza ranch. Using SAME OVEN and representative said she knows this is not appropriate but it's all we got. At the very least sensitive intolerant folks beware.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love pizza ranch!!! Had the gluten free cheese pizza, salad bar and ice cream. Awesome.

Celiac friendly?

No

I did the buffet, but only ate from the salad bar and hot bar. They have an allergen menu online so you can find out what is safe. They offer a gf pizza, but I don’t know how it tastes. The staff wasn’t very knowledgable, but tried their best to answer my questions.

Uses same oven as gluten, perham same prep area. Wadena separate prep area. Sad to call that gluten free. Unfortunately some less sensitive folks can handle that and rate it better.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options. I ordered a gluten free pizza & was also able to eat a salad, broccoli cheese soup & potatoes!

They bring a gluten free pizza of your choosing to the table if you order the full buffet. Full salad bar with lots of options. Chicken and potatoes are not gf.

Celiac friendly?

No

Was happy that they had their gluten free menu openly out, but there was cross contamination. The pizza was smaller than most gluten free pizzas and the slices cut tiny.

Gluten free pizza has been shrunk. I got a tiny, burned pizza. When I complained to the manager they did nothing. I complained to corporate and got a rude email that said they did nothing because I ate the thing. It was ask I was going to get. Find a better pizza chain! Two starts because I didn't have a reaction.

They offer gluten-free crust like the other locations I've been to.

Celiac friendly?

No

Dont go here. They are not accommodating I had to ask for a refund for my pizza. The manager was extremely rude and kept interrupting me when I was trying to explain what I needed. The staff here is extremely rude and unhelpful. The place was trashed when we got here too, and the person who wiped down the table when I asked left it soaking wet. I will never come back here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have ate their 2 times with my son who has celiac. I recommend calling 20 min ahead if you can because it take them 30 min to make a gf pizza. Its nice because they prepare gf pizza separately and cook gf pizza on it's own throw away pizza pan. So far so good for us. Also the ice cream is gf.

Not only do you have to pay for the buffet but you also have to pay $11 for a gluten free pizza on top of that. The crust was cracker thin and burnt.

The pizza there is decent. It takes about half an hour for them to make the pizza and so when im eating out with family who are not gluten free there always done eating before I even get my food. They do offer 1 free trip to the salad bar but I cannot confirm that It doesn't have cross contamination. I'm almost detonate there's cross contamination in there gluten free pizzas though because Every time I eat there I get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The family that owns the restaurant has members with celiac. They are very careful. They use disposable pans, only put gf pizzas in the oven at a time, use a separate cutter, and open new bags of ingredients. We have eaten there many times with no issue. Make sure to call ahead to order the gf pizza or the gf members of the group will have to wait while everyone else starts eating.

Traveling and very Limited options in Mitchell. My only option was a special order pizza. The second worst GF pizza I’ve ever had. Undercooked. Hardly any toppings compared to those on the buffet. I could see the kitchen from our table - no gloves and rather sloppy technique. Hopefully I don’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

They said they are careful for individuals with celiac, flared up a few times, east 10th location that is

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super place for kids and good gf pizza! This is an Iowa staple and saved us many times when trying to find a safe place to eat.

Went for lunch. Ordered a gf taco pizza. An hour later I got a spinach and tomato pizza. Returned it, 45 minutes later got the taco pizza. Taste was just ok. And I didn't feel bad after eating a few slices.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gluten free crust! They bake their crust in its own disposable pan and place it in a box (even if dining in) to help prevent cross contamination. On their website it says they have specific procedures to avoid cross contamination, use separate sanitized utensils for preparation, and that their crust is certified gluten free. My daughter has celiac disease and I follow a gluten free diet as well.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excited to come across a Pizza Ranch knowing they have GF ouzza and I've never had a problem with one. However, the staff at this one informed me that they "ran out of GF crusts a long time ago" and "the owner won't order more because it's a waste of money". I was so disappointed. I gave it two stars because they still provided the salad bar, as limiting as it was.

GF pizza with the typical cardboard tasting crust. No dedicated space so if you are sensitive beware of contamination

pizza is cooked and served on a disposable pan so it is not cooked on same pan as other pizzas. however it is prepared in same area as non gluten-free items so there is a risk of cross contamination.

Pizza is cooked in separate pan, they change gloves & use separate pizza cutters. Tastes good too

I was excited to have gluten free option where other family members would go. However there must have been cross contamination--I did get I'll after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place. They have gf crust and use an entirely a separate sauce container for saucing it and you can choose whatever toppings you want. They also have a salad bar :)

I’ve been happy at other places when I could get a personal size gf pizza. We got a medium pizza and were able to pick from a page full of “branded” pizas. We got the stampede (aka the works) and my husband shared it with me; loved it even though he doesn’t avoid wheat. We each got a gf salad bar (which also has gf chocolate pudding). Cost a little more than the buffet but sooooo worth it! I’m not celiac, but for those who are, you should know they bring the pizza to your table in a box

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love getting pizza here! They make the gf pizza in the freezer with all new ingredients, so they aren't cross contaminated. The pizza is cooked on a disposable pan, they use a sperate pizza cutter, and then bring it out in a box, to minimize contamination. I eat here often and have never had an issue.
