Gluten Free at Pizza Ranch

They have GF pizza crust, and they have a salad bar.

The new Gluten Free pizza crust is delicious!

Got the stampede gluten free. It was quite delicious. Comes in its own gluten free box. My only complaint is that it is sold as a medium and described as such but I would classify it more as a small, it seemed pretty comparable to the 10” udi in size. Could have used more toppings too but otherwise delicious and I’ll order again.

When I called to order pizza and mentioned the gluten allergy, it got brushed off. When I picked it up, it wasn't sealed or labeled. Later my daughter with celiac had a bad stomach ache. I should have trusted my mommy gut feeling.

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

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.

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.

GF.. 10 inch pizza was good.. 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

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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?

No

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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)

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

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
