About Pizza Ranch

Pizza Ranch is a regional restaurant chain based in the Midwestern United States that specializes in pizza, fried chicken, and a full salad bar, often served via an all-you-can-eat buffet. Many locations also offer a game room or family entertainment area, as well as carryout and delivery options. The charge description “PIZZA RANCH - NEW ULM” refers to the Pizza Ranch location in New Ulm, Minnesota, but the underlying brand and billing are handled by Pizza Ranch, Inc.

This charge typically appears on bank or card statements after you dine in, order takeout, or place a delivery order at Pizza Ranch. It may reflect buffet meals, individual pizzas, family chicken meals, drinks, or game-room card purchases made at the restaurant. In some cases, you might see a pending or slightly different amount initially due to a temporary authorization, especially if you paid by card at the table or counter; the final posted amount should match your receipt, including tax and tip (if applied by card).

If you have questions about a Pizza Ranch charge, first compare the date and amount with any dining or takeaway receipts from around that time, including family or group visits where another person might have used your card. You can contact the New Ulm Pizza Ranch location directly using the phone number listed on your receipt or on the store’s page at pizzaranch.com. For unresolved billing concerns, ask to speak with a manager, who can look up your transaction, reprint receipts, and process refunds or adjustments when appropriate. If you still believe the charge is unauthorized, you should also contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction.
