According to a recent job post, Ranch Pizza, or RanchPDX, is slated to expand with a new location in Hillsboro at 142 SE 2nd Avenue.
A representative of Ranch Pizza was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Portland’s request.
Ranch recently made an Instagram post about the new opening, stating that the grand opening is “TBD” but will be sometime soon.
According to an article from Montavilla News in regards to its SE Stark location, ” This shop will be the seventh pizzeria for the local chain restaurant since owners Richard Corey and Eric Wood founded it in 2017. The menu honors the square Sicilian-style pizza, and most orders include a side serving of handmade ranch dressing.”
“The restaurant’s name focuses on a polarizing topping for pizza aficionados. However, Ranch Pizza’s owners feel it enhances the flavors and deserves a spotlight.”
“The one argument for ranch on pizza, and what I tell most people if they’re confused about it, is that it makes each bite balanced. Most pizzas have a tangy red sauce. The tomatoes are acidic, and it has salt and garlic or whatever. If you add ranch to that, the creamy and tangy, salty flavors are opposites, but when you combine them, it’s perfect,” said co-owner Richard Corey to Vice News in 2018, the article states.
“The thick-crust pizza is reminiscent of focaccia bread, and the cheese spreads over the edges, making a toasted crust as it cooks in its pan. The menu offers vegan options, and most pizzas are available by the slice, which is a quarter of the whole pie. The company has stores all over the area, with locations as far out as Beaverton, Oregon City, North Portland, and Happy Valley.”
