    I don't think yelp can even let me add as many photos as I think this place needs to truly capture how cool it is. They have an arcade, pool table, and a museum. The food is expensive on the weekends lol, but they have great deals throughout the week. I can't believe this place isn't more popular! There was no one there when we went on a Saturday night. The staff were very friendly and we got to hang a dollar on the ceiling! Really love this place and will be back!

    I've worked in and around Wadsworth for many years, and to be honest, I never realized this place was actually open until this month. With my wife coming down from Idaho to visit me while working, I made it a point to come here. We were the first customer that evening 3 weeks ago, and a young man welcomed us and told us we could sit anywhere. He was too young to grab me a beer and said he called "Papa" and told him we were there. Right then I wondered what experience we were about to have. The restaurant is a plethora of memorabilia, and it kept us quite engaged while we waited for the man called Papa. If you can get there early, do so so you can take it all in before the t gets crowded inside. There we sat when a larger than life individual passed by the window. I say this with great respect, and he reminded me of Brutus from the Popeye Cartoon with the first quick glance. In came Papa and greeted us with great enthusiasm. When I asked for a Coos light, he offered a Peroni. Of course, what better to have in an Italian based place. Now, my wife asked what kind of wine he had, and he answered with "Red, White, and Pink!" I cracked up and knew then he was a no nonsense type of guy. After all, this is not your stuffy nosed place, so leave that behind and you'll thoroughly enjoy the Ranch House. I read about how large the pizza was but was blown away by the size for just the two of us. Glad the motel had a fridge to enjoy leftovers at work for two days. The prices are on the higher side, but I've come to research that Papa donated money with each sell for a cause dear to his heart. The pizza was exceptional and we enjoyed every mouth watering bite. Papa offered us to try the wings as an appetizer, but we declined and glad we did. There would be no way we could have eaten all that food. The menu offers many other choices beyond pizza, so if I get the chance to come here again, I'll try something else. Papas Ranch House, in my opinion, is well worth the stop in an unusual small town most people most likely don't know of. If you're traveling I-80, you can get on and off at two places very easily with a quick side trip. There are a ton of things to see beyond the inside of the main building, so plan on spending some time to go upstairs and outside in the back. He opens at 3:30 on Saturday and Sunday, 3:00 on Friday, and 4:30 Tuesday to Thursday. CLOSED ON MONDAYS!

    Appetizer sampler, garlic bread mozzarella pucks and artichoke hearts

    10/10, great ambiance and wonderfully friendly help :) the food was great and I'll be back. Thanks papa! (We'll be trying the cannoli next time)

    The pizza with artichoke hearts.

    The ambiance is old antiques. The food is mostly fresh made. The pizzas are 18 inches, so be hungry!! The service was very friendly.

    Quaint little place with lotsa memorabilia and a museum up top, a place to hang outside and a pool table area while you wait to enjoy your pizza. Wish we could've tried their artichokes: maybe next time. Limited hours so call if arriving after 730pm. Hours advertised daily open at 4pm.

    Fun pizza night! My 1st visit and I will be back. Fun and crazy memorabilia decorate this pizza restaurant. Full bar. One size pizza LARGE. It was really good with meatballs,pepperoni and jalapeños. Other choices available too including veggies. Wings,garlic bread and other menu items available. We missed Lasagna night by one night. Would like to try it when it's available. Great service, we sat at the bar. Check these guys out. I will be back.

    Good food!

    Rode/drove by Papa's numerous times just never stopped. Read articles and made it a point to go. The eye candy is incredible decor of the place! App of deep fried artichokes with marina sauce and adult beverage hit the spot to start. Half pepperoni/meatballs pizza thin crust was mouth watering then desert! Yup! Cannoli and a slice of cheesecake. Nirvana! Crystal and Erika made it an enjoyable experience!

    Outside.

    OMG!!, What better way to end a year than with a Pizza & a Canoli, or start the year, or for that matter anytime of the year. My GF and I were in Fernley and had seen this place before but didn't try it before(huge mistake). Well we tried it this time. We ordered a Pepperoni, Sausage, Jalapeño and Onion thin crust Pizza and it absolutely delicious. The sauce was really tasty and Papa knows his stuff. Ample and tasty toppings too! We also ordered a canoli and my GF is still raving about how good it was and saying she would go there just for the canoli. The Ranch House is an Americana Museum the really has to be seen. We walked around for about 20 minutes and marveled at Papa's collection. Our timing was perfect as the Pizza was just coming out of the oven. We drove back to the Hotel room and devoured half the Pizza with a beer each and then split the canoli. If you haven't been there yet. Go ASAP, you will not be disappointed. Hats off to Papa's Ranch House. It ROCKS!

    Wings!

    This place was a hoot. So much to see and great food and service. Definitely worth stopping in or heading to! The pepperoni pizza was so yummy and absolutely hug! We had left overs for 3 days! What really amazed me is that the pizza just got better everyday! The parm knits and wings were great as well. Will be back to try more!

    Caesar salad pizza. Yum.

    We love Papa's Ranch House. The Pizza is amazing. Crust is not too thick and it's perfectly crispy. We love taking friends there - delighting them with the ambiance of his amazing collectables and great food! Say hi to Brian, the owner when you are there.

Decent beverage menu. Pricing is pretty high compared to other places in town but it's probably because of fresh ingredients and good pay for employees (hopefully).

Leftovers are better if you eat them as soon as you get home and cook the crust a bit more. *Just a Chicago native wandering the universe looking for a good pizza but always waking up and realizing I'm not at home anymore.

A frozen pizza from Walmart probably would've tasted better. We usually order from Domino's, but that time we decided to try a different place.

Delivery took a little longer since we could see on the tracker that the driver had about 3-4 other deliveries late Saturday night on Pi Day.

I understand that many local restaurants use prepackaged ingredients, but I didn't expect to find tough lettuce stalks, broccoli, and other leftover vegetable pieces mixed throughout--almost as if they were added to make the salad look fuller. When I asked the waitress about it, she replied, "Yeah, they throw everything in there--sorry." If that's how the taco salad is prepared, it should be disclosed on the menu. We also ordered a ribeye and another steak. While this isn't a steakhouse, the cuts were decent for this type of restaurant. Since I already had a discount, my concern wasn't the cost or a refund--it was the responsibility to let customers know what they're being served. Unfortunately, the salad ruined my appetite. We later returned and had a much better experience. Abbi and Cassandra were pleasant, and Deven provided excellent service. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, he remained calm, attentive, and apologetic about even minor delays. We also enjoyed the house-made soup and tried the September specials. Overall, this was by far the best of our three visits. Great job by Deven (5 stars)--he was a breath of fresh air--and both hosts communicated well. (Also 5 stars)

I told the server that I d like my soup when her pizza was served, not before, because it was my meal. What do ya know, both soups at the same time and both big bowls. My daughter mentioned that she'd only ordered a cup and I repeated that I really wanted my soup WHEN her pizza came out, as it was my lunch. The server took mine away without comment. When the pizza arrived, we kinda gave it a few minutes before finally walking over to the bar to ask where our soup might be. The answer??? You'll have to ask your server. I finally found her and asked after my soup. Her response? Oh, I thought you said you didn't want it. I was nice but repeated my original order again.
