Detroit style pizza. If you know, you know. The crispy edge, the stripes of sauce, the pillowy soft middle with toppings upon toppings ladled on top. New York and Chicago are still trying to catch up. But we are in the Pacific Northwest, nowhere near Loui's Pizza or Buddy's Pizza (Detroit pizza staples). So many times, what tries to pass off as "Detroit style" falls miles short. Then came "Ranch" where I stood outside and screwed up enough courage to try yet another Detroit style pizza. The interior was small, one wall lined with tomato sauce cans, the menu was bolted to a wall. The smell took me back and that gave me some hope. The pizza arrived at the table, the wife and I have varied tastes so we each ordered a quarter pizza. Mine was pepperoni, the wife had a veggie. The pizzas looked right, square, caramelized crispy edges, heavy toppings... and then on the side of the plate was this cup of ranch dressing. Duh! "Ranch" obviously has to have a good ranch, right? I dipped my pinky finger in the ranch and took a taste. You would not think one ranch can be so far ahead of the others, but ranch is the place for ranch, as well as pizza. My first bite brought a smile to my face, it was just, right in every way that a Detroit pie should be. I have been back to try their #4 pie with sausage and ricotta, and I am looking forward to more trips. If all that was not enough, the service was friendly, the food came out so quick (about 10 minutes) and the place was nice and clean. read more

Super fast service and super yummy food. I always get their #4 because it's so good. It has Italian sausage, red sauce, calabrian chiles, mozzarella, and ricotta on top. A slice of that dipped in their ranch (they give a side of ranch for all pizza orders) is heavenly. Their ranch is actually the best ranch I have ever had. I wish they sold bottles of it so I can have it at home. They also have seasonal specials, like their pickle pizza with hot honey, or the french onion soup pizza (so good). I would recommend doing takeout as there is limited seating. read more

Ranch - Quarter #4 - NW - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Small place, mostly for taking out but still a few tables. We ordered a half-pepperoni, half-"Honey I Shrunk the Pickle" pizza. I gotta say, the latter of the two was definitely my favorite. With ricotta, Mikes hot honey, pepperoni, and pickle chips, the flavors are so unique but work SO well together, especially with the ricotta. I was not expecting to love a "pickle" flavor so much. I paid for extra ranch but I was also given two ranch sauces for free, which I didn't realize. The ranch definitely makes it even more delicious!! read more

Ranch - Quarter Veggie - NW Quarter Cheese - NW Quarter - Honey I Shrunk the Pickle- NW - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wouldn't call the 'pizza' here pizza. I visited this restaurant for a casual and cheap Sunday dinner. The interior is small, but cozy. The server was also nice. My friend and I ended up ordering and sharing the Veggie and The #4 1/4 square pizzas. The presentation of the pizzas wasn't the best, they looked like a bunch of ingredients dumped onto slices of bread. Both of the pizzas were decent tasting and the texture was crispy. On the #4, I wasn't the biggest fan of the sausage quality, but did like the dollop of ricotta. Both of the pizzas were very rich, but I liked the side of ranch which helped cut the richness and was creamy and refreshing. Overall, I wouldn't call these pizzas. I know they're based on the square pizzas of Detroit, but these seemed more like loaded focaccias. I wish these were more cheesy, so they would actually be pizzas. I wouldn't necessarily come back here again, but if someone gave me these pizzas, I would probably eat them. read more

Ordered pizza to go and it was delicious! Staff were nice for pick up and the spot looked cute inside.

A short weekend in Portland but we tried to check out a few pizza places and this was pizza place number two. A tiny spot with some seating and you order at the counter. We had just previously ate a few slices so we opted to split a slice of pepperoni. I believe the dough was par baked or it was a reheat slice based on the burning of some of the pepperoni but the slice still tasted good. All orders come with their signature ranch. I grew up in New York and we don't put ranch on pizza but I tried it.. the sauce was thick and creamy and had a good garlic punch. Side note, they are completely cashless; card only. read more

The Veggie pizza is unique and very filling, with a nice touch of spice with the Calabrian Chillies. All the toppings went really well together which was a pleasant surprise considering that I normally don't go for Mushrooms or Kalamata olives. Definitely worth trying! Also each order comes with their side ranch, which was on point as well. read more

Best pizza in Portland metro, period. And the service is always amazing. I usually go to the Beaverton location. But I was in NW. Consistency is key when you have multiple locations. And I've been to all of the Ranch locations. They are all good. And the service is always spectacular. Across the board you can't go wrong. My favorite pizza ever. read more

We ordered the pepperoni pizza and added sausage, and the Caesar salad. The salad was crisp and the pizza was hot. We ate it in the shop so the freshest it could be. I'm not from Portland but if I ever came back I would make a stop here. The service was quick and friendly. The shop is a little small but didn't get over crowded at all. Perfect for a date night or just if you're craving some pizza! read more

Pizza is great but getting it ordered got harder after they screwed up their website a few years ago. It used to be possible to just confirm your phone # and then reorder your last order or pick half #2 & half #4 for example. Neither of those options are doable since they jacked up their order menu by switching to Square. Based on the fact that they haven't even claimed any of their Apple Map listings or added the Beaverton location after years of being open I would blame that slop business decision making on their lack of tech understanding or ability. read more

5 Stars - Great Detroit-Style Pizza in Portland! We visited Ranch Pizza in Portland and were really impressed! We ordered the Detroit-style pepperoni pizza, and it was excellent -- surprisingly authentic for being outside of Detroit. The cheese bread was also delicious and perfectly cheesy. Everything came out hot, and the ingredients tasted super fresh. My whole family enjoyed the meal, and we'll definitely be back. I'd absolutely recommend Ranch Pizza to anyone looking for good, quality pizza in Portland. read more

Square / Detroit style pizzas always catch my attention, so of course my curiosity led me to Ranch pizza. Ordered ahead for pickup before the wind came through, and it was ready on time. Even with a bit of a drive, the slices were still hot. Really appreciated that they boxed the order, even with only 3 slices. For those not hungry enough to commit to the full sheet of squares, the quarter slices are the way to go and a great way to have a pizza tasting. Both the cheese and #4 were well cooked (crispy on the edge but still had a soft middle). I wish the #4 had a bit more sauce to balance the sausage and ricotta, but it was still a party for my taste buds. If I order again the next time I'm in town, I may need to add my own Mike's Hot Honey to the slices. Will buy again! read more

So, my first evening in Portland I had ranch PDX pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and ranch dressing. They were very generous and giving me extra dressing even though I paid for three they gave me three extra ones for free. The crust was delicious and the pepperoni was cooked to my liking, crispy. The ambience was understandably due to the small size of the place, but it was still nice to visit and the customer service was friendly. I would definitely come back again and try their pizza. Normally, I love thin crust, but I definitely could throw in this Detroit style pizza much more often due to the passion that they display with their damn pizza! read more

I neither like square pizza nor ranch, but this place converted me to both! Pizza here is really good and you'll end up having an extra slice even if you weren't planning on it. If I hadn't ate at tilamook right before I would've had a whole pie instead of just 2 slices read more

Wednesday 9/20/23 While doing pizza searches (via Yelp) for my upcoming Portland trip, I found ranch pdx which is known to serve good Detroit style pizza and I was ready for it. I got a pepperoni whole pie ($28.50) for takeout. The pizza was very underwhelming and overpriced ($28.50 for normal size pizza square slices is crazy). Had family and friends that tried it and they were underwhelmed as well: stating how greasy the pizza was. The ranch wasn't anything special and was average at best. I really wanted to like the pizza but couldn't. The high expectations I had completely fell flat. I personally wouldn't get it again and would rate it as the worst pizza I had in Portland during my visit. read more

Awesome! Did a pick up order, the pizza was ready and hot when I got there. We did a 1/2 and 1/2 with some additions. The crust is thick and fluffy with some crunch on the outside layer. The toppings had some awesome flavor. I and a ranch dressing fiend and let me just tell you! I love their ranch! Saw they had lots of locations, will be going back for more.....it's a long drive from Salem, but I think it's worth it. read more

Its good pizza, but there a some important aspects about it that don't thrill me. I've tried 3 different whole pizzas now. The bread to cheese and topping ratio is too much bread for my liking. The grease is copious. See pictures I've attached to the review for bread/toppings scale and the grease factor. The 2 paper towels shown, the 1 on the right had 1 piece on top of it, the 1 on the left I lightly dabbed 2 small pieces with. read more

Service was friendly. There wasn't much seating space. It wasn't an issue for us this Sunday afternoon but I imagine during busy times there could easily be a wait for seating indoors. Just a heads up. Onto the food: I've had many pizzas in my life but this was potentially one of the best pizzas of my life. We especially loved the current special which is the jalepeno popper pizza. I'm still daydreaming about eating it for lunch earlier today and am already plotting to make another visit to order more. Loved the texture and crispiness and the mix of flavors. The breadsticks were yummy, with a generous amount of pieces. Garlic-y goodness Will definitely be back! read more

The best pizza I've ever had. I live in Washington and find myself tempted to make the drive to return for another slice. The pepperoni pizza was so delicious that I rave to everyone about it. Now for the star of the show, The ranch, it was creamy and delicious. Tasted homemade and like the real deal, it lived up to the namesake. Service was good, very helpful when discussing pizza choices. Just a small classic pizza joint with incredible slices. I highly recommend. read more

Oh wow we had such high hopes. But we got the half and half of the "The 4" and pepperoni (among others) and I can honestly say this was the worse I've had in a while. Given the reviews, I can't tell if it was an off night or the standard fare. But it was so salty that my wife asked "did you add salt to this?" And when I assured her I didn't, the second bite, she asked "are you sure?". Of the 4 full pizzas we bought, our party of 8....4 slices total were eaten and gave away/threw away the rest. What happened here Ranch? A bad night or the norm? Certainly not interested in gambling on it again. read more

Was feeling pizza all day and tried this place out because Sicilian style sounded really, really good. I wanted to try the #4, but my wife is lactose intolerate and was not trying to destroy herself too much that evening. Plus, based on the Yelp food pics, the pepperoni pizza would give us all we needed for a pizza dinner. As the OG pan pizza, the Sicilian pie is near and dear to my heart. This is coming from a kid who grew up with that vintage Pizza Hut pan crust recipe. And I am at such a place in my life that when I taste pizza that brings me right back to that magical za flavor of old, that most children fiend for, I gotta recognize it as something special. Ranch's version of the institutional option was much better: Pleasantly greasy. The right amount of pepperoni that gave each bite a spicy finish. It was a great square pie with lovely, crispy edges. And the crust itself had that pan thickness to it, while still being somewhat crunchy - so it managed to be the best of both worlds. Given the place's name, each order of pizza is served with a small helping of ranch dipping sauce. It helped balance the constant intake of salt, acid, and grease, but it wasn't my favorite version of ranch. It had more of a blue cheese consistency to it that would've almost worked more for a salad. A very small blemish. My wife wasn't crazy about the pizza. It satisfied her appetite enough, but she thought the crust was on the doughy side. Though a pizza like this did really well as cold leftovers the next day. That grease kept the quality up and we both were happy to finish off the remainder. I came to this place on a larger visit from California, and am home now...but I think I left a bit of my foodie heart at Ranch PDX. read more

What's Detroit style pizza you ask? Go find out. It's hella good. My friend and I got a whole pizza and it was definitely too much for the two of us but omfg it was so good. It was loaded with aged mozarella, red sauce, sausage, ricotta, calabrian chilies, pecorino romano and basil. I highly recommend the # 4 pizza. Honestly looking at the picture I took of it makes me salvage. Luckily they have 5 locations around Portland! read more

I saw this place a few months ago when I was up in Portland for a wedding. Fast forward to this past weekend and I found myself back in Portland for business and I was itching to try their Detroit-style pizza. I ordered their quarter pepperoni ($8) and quarter Hawaiian ($9) pizzas (basically a large slice) and marveled at how affordable it was. Both slices came out in about 10 minutes. Pro-tip, you can order online so you don't have to wait when you get there. Pepperoni - aged mozzarella, red sauce, pepperoni, pecorino romano, basil - What's not to love about this? It was stacked with crispy pepperoni and cooked to perfection. Hawaiian - aged mozzarella, red sauce, bacon lardons, fresh pineapple, roasted jalapeno, red onion, pecorino romano, basil - Lots of things going on with this one and while I enjoyed, it was too busy for my own tastes. I'd probably custom order just a bacon lardons and pineapple pizza in the future. The crust for both were less dense than what I've gotten at other Detroit-style pizza places, but I found that I liked it a lot better that way. Staff was super friendly and the location is really casual with limited seating. This is a place that you go for either takeout or a quick stop. I loved it and will be back again! read more

I got the Hawaiian. It was ok. Some good qualities, some bad. - The ranch sauce was really, really great. Light and fresh, but also real flavor. I dunno. You could tell they make it from scratch though. I'd be tempted to return to just get some breadsticks and dip 'em in the ranch. - The dough was pretty good and soft, with a nice crisp on the outside. I would have preferred a little more outer crisp though. - There was hardly any sauce, and the flavor didn't come through. Same with the cheese. I think a Hawaiian slice should still largely be a normal slice, but with those Hawaiian flavors sprinkled on, not featured. Here the Hawaiian flavors were really featured. - The jalapenos really had a huge kick to them that I think was too much. Lots of seeds still in 'em. - The worst part was the bacon lardons. I'm not sure what a lardon is or what it's supposed to taste like, but it was bad. Very crunch. No chew or give to it. In an unpleasant way. And it had a strong charred/burnt flavor to it. Maybe they overcooked 'em by accident. read more

Went here since the bagel store ran out of my favorite bagel, order a quarter pizza. It was great, especially if you like a thick crust. Staff was very friendly and inviting. They also included homemade ranch with every quarter pizza. Would definitely come back again read more

The ranch is yummy and why you'd go. Menu pizza options are simple and maybe too limited (unless it's like in n out and has a secret menu I need to know about). Your 4ish basics and a special option that was unavailable at the time of order. Quarter is two slices and plenty. While I do love cold pizza more than warm, I'm not sure this would be a viable option. It's a bit fluffy/focaccia-y and might turn soggy. Wouldn't know bc I downed the two!

Ranch - a slice of pizza and a can of soda - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Just like the first human came up the idea and/or discovered fire, Ranch PDX came up with a enhancement to make pizza a whole lot better and tastier. FOOD First off, the portion itself is pretty good. The quarter sized pizza got me to feel very satisfied. The toppings itself was also fantastic as well. The #4 was pretty meaty while the mozzarella on top struck a great balance of saltiness. The red sauce on it was freshly made and it was a cherry on top. The Hawaiian pizza was pretty decent as well. I personally don't like Hawaiian pizza, but my partner really enjoyed her slice. Definitely a solid 5 star. The ranch they provided are homemade and you can definitely taste the extra sweetness of it. Dipping the pizza in it will never disappoint you. SERVICE The service itself was pretty decent. Seems like the entire restaurant was tan by 2 people so they seem to be all over the place. Even at that, the host was able to get all orders and bringing them out at a reasonable time The restaurant itself it's pretty small, highly recommend to order for a takeout or eat it outside! ALL IN ALL, a dainty little pizza place that truly packs a punch. Solid solid pizza and I can't wait to come back more often! read more

My goodness sakes, this pizza was fire. So once again going back to Tacoma washington, I decided to stop here for a couple of sizes of pizza. So the ranch sauce they provide, I suggest asking for two sides of ranch. This ranch sauce was the best. It was extremely good. Yes you have to dip your slice of pizza into the ranch. It will change your life lol. Overall the pizza was fantastic and yes I devoured all 4 slices in my car haha. I really wish they had a location over where I'm at but that would defeat the whole purpose of calling it Ranch PDX lol. I'm definitely coming back here probably about 50 times more. read more

Amazing pizza, super friendly staff. Not a lot of seating, but some good enough for a quick stop.

Best pizza in PDX! definitely pricey, but it's awesome & filling pizza so it's worth it. If you are eating it there, it took awhile for the pizza to come & I had to go inside and check-in with the cashier to see how we would know the pizza is coming out. He said he would bring it out, but he didn't and I had to go back in to get the pizza. But the pizza was so good I forgave the service. Not too much seating room at this location other than a few tables inside and 2 outside. read more
