Go for the pizza, stay for the arcade.

Pizza Ranch, an Iowa-based pizza chain, opened its doors Monday at 3958 N. Academy Blvd., Suite 117, near the intersection of Academy Boulevard and Austin Bluffs Parkway.

The newly opened buffet-style restaurant marks the second operating location in the state, joining a location in Pueblo. The chain had a Loveland location, which shuttered in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to previous reporting. The company operates more than 200 locations nationwide.

Pizza Ranch’s buffet features classic and specialty pizzas, chicken, salads, homestyle sides and a variety of dessert pizzas.

Buffet prices range from $15.75 to $19.99, depending on time and day of the week. Here’s a look at daily prices, according to Pizza Ranch’s website:

• Monday-Wednesday: $15.75 for lunch, $19.29 for dinner
• Thursday-Friday: $15.75 for lunch, $19.99 for dinner
• Saturday: $19.99 all day
• Sunday morning: $19.99
• Sunday night: $19.29

The chain offers discounts to seniors, military and first responders daily. Children eat free on Tuesdays with the purchase of a full-priced adult.

The popular chain also includes a FunZone Arcade, which offers dozens of unique games and fun prizes.

Pizza Ranch is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with Sunday hours beginning at 10:30 a.m.
