Pizza Ranch is a beloved family restaurant bringing Old West charm, quality buffet dining, and arcade entertainment to Shakopee. Located at 1266 Vierling Drive East, Pizza Ranch has earned a reputation for generous portions, quality ingredients, and a fun, welcoming environment ideal for families, groups, and celebrations of all sizes.

Fresh-Made Pizza

At the heart of Pizza Ranch’s menu are fresh-made pizzas prepared daily. The kitchen crafts pizzas throughout service hours, ensuring that every pie served is warm, made to order, and meets Pizza Ranch’s quality standards.
