Chicago pizza sounds like a lot like their politicians and preachers:

Thick crust (skull), half baked ideology, and pretty tasteless......

I'm dying for pizza now, whether it's crappy Midwestern pizza or not. I'm from the East coast (NY) originally as well, so I'm spoiled on good pizza, but I still love it no matter where or how bad.

"Pizza Ranch is an upper Midwestern franchise that doesn’t have to worry about offending delicate sensibilities on either coast."

Good. I don't care where you're from or what your market is. Screw delicate sensibilities. Do good things. Like this.

good for them. on my next trip to the region I will definantly visit one.

When I was in Chicago I tried the local pizza that is famous there and IMO it was awful. Thick crust undercoooed for my taste, swimming in sauce, not enough spice yuk.

I used to work at a Pizza Ranch, and as long as I can remember they had a contest where you could bring in your longest tail feather during hunting season, and at the end, the guy or gal with the longest one wins a prize. Also, their Bacon Cheeseburger pizza is my favorite. No, it isn't straight outta Naples, but then, neither an I.

As you might expect it is common for local businesses in Wyoming to support youth and disabled adult hunting/shooting/fishing programs as well as to financially assist with environmental issues. I wonder if Pizza Ranch can over night to Cody?

The Mrs,PB, is absolutely correct about most of the American made pizza, at most places....New York city has some original pizza fair,baked in actual brick ovens; thin crust light cheese,tomato, and little basil! Nice.
Anyway..Three cheers for the PIZZA RANCH!!

Good on the Ranch for supporting new hunters! The more new people we can involve in the sport and the politics that keep it legal, the longer we (and our offspring) will be able to hunt and fish in America. If no one does it anymore it will get legislated out of existence.

Alaska Brewhouse in Anchorage: It's kind of "touristy" now, but they make outstanding wood-fired pizza with the best ingredients.
The Peanut Farm is a sports bar on Old Seward Highway that features wood-fired baked to order pizza. You can't beat the value or the atmosphere.
Another good one is Moose's Tooth, they make varieties of pizza you never heard of but taste outstanding. Chicken Avacado something or other my wife really likes, they make barbecue beef pizza that is outstanding too. I think you can choose from nearly 19 varieties of cheese, not to mention the wild game and seafood choices too.
Mooses's tooth and the Brewhouse locations have their own microbrews.
If you find yourself in Anchorage don't call for delivery get out and visit one of these places, it's worth the price of admission.

Pizza is greatly overrated, like most of our politicians today.

Speaking of food, could Dave or Phil possibly help me find the author of an old Field and Stream article entitled, "Hunger Makes Ze Best Sauce". It was all about north country fishing shore lunches and other outdoor gastronomic adventures. Hilarious!

One Important note on NJ Pizza, avoid Boardwalk Pizza! I have yet to find GOOD Pizza on either Atlantic City or Ocean City Boardwalks, most tastes like wet, greasy cardboard, with cheese. If the Pizza is as bad as you say elsewhere then perhaps they are catering to the tastes of tourists? Dunno, but try to avoid it....

Haven't been in NJ for several years and hope Jo-Jo's pizza in Pleasantville NJ (the smaller one near the Expressway, not the bigger place on the Black Horse Pike) is still in business, GREAT Pizza and Subs! Love their Mushroom Cheese Steak, with Tomatoes, Fried Onions and Hot Peppers!
Used to work a few blocks away and often got lunch there, either a sub or a Lg Pizza, God I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
Vinnie (the owner) is the son of an Italian immigrant, and it shows in the food! Vinnie's Dad used to work there too from time to time, nice guy but his English was not too good! Hope he's still well but he's getting up there in years so don't know.
Check them out if you are in the neighborhood.

as our late president would say, BULLY! it is a good thing when people, not in the industry, support shooting sports and hunting. it suports and reinforces our american traditions of hunting, shooting, and family time. good job guys!

Best Pizza I had was in Naples, Italy at the "Pizzacata" down by the Maritime Pier. Pizza was baked in a wood fired oven. Everything was fresh. Wash it down with Peronie beer.

Best pizza I ever ate was 40 years ago in San Diego from a place called "Caruso's." Several of us Marines at MCRD bought the pizza. I got my two slices and could have eaten the whole thing! It well could have been my "best" pizza due to the contrast with Marine Corps chow.

I ate at Pizza Ranch once in my hometown of Jamestown, ND a couple years ago. Chicken was good but I didn't think the pizza was so hot. That chain does perform a great service, though, in promoting hunting. For that reason alone I would eat there again.

Very cool! If im ever in the area I will be sure to stop by.

Congratulations to Pizza Ranch for their commitment to hunting. They are not located in my area or I would definitely spend my money there. I live in Maine and I've never tasted a good pizza!

Best Pizza I ever ate was in a Restaurant on Chippawa Drive in St. Louis called "Il Vesuvio" went back to try and find it last year and the owner had died, now its a BBQ place.

Oh well the BBQ was good!
