I don't think it's necessarily a local thing.


My sister (originally from FL/now in NYC) eats pizza with ranch. So does my daughter who was born and raised in GA. She didn't get this from her aunt, either.

I'm in GA too, and my hunny is from here. He eats it like that sometimes.


Guess its just an "I Love Ranch" thing.


BTW...Papa Murphy's Chicken Garlic Pizza...omg sooooooo good.


I miss Papa Murphy's. I wish they had them here in GA.

You post just made me realize what started the pizza & ranch craze. All these pizza places that also sell wings now. You get the ranch with the wings and people inevitably started dipping their pizza in it.

I like my pizza simple, extra cheese and sliced meatballs.


My b/f does the ranch thing too, and I used to do it, but not since last year with my new dieting needs. (as in, I don't need it, lol)


He's from TX and I'm from CT, so it's clearly a nationwide thing.


You're right, I started doing it when I'd order wings and I used the ranch they give you for them. I used to dip pizza in blue cheese from them too.

mmmm, pizza


I love Chicago Deep Dish, but since I don't live there... I usually eat thick crust (I love bread) pizza with Italian sausage, pepperoni, black olives, green peppers, and onions

pepperoni

When I make a piza at home I actually like to add slivered sweet onion, sliced black olives, a combination of cheeses, and marinated artichokde hearts. I have never liked pepperoni on my pizza because of the grease ir releases.

Ooh, another thread revival.


If at all possible, I enjoy making my own crust, for starters. I either buy a pre-made dough at a local, healthy chain called Trader Joe's, or purchase gluten-free crust flour at Whole Foods. After that, I'll make a pizza sauce from crushed tomatoes, honey, freshly grated parmesan, olive oil, and some seasonings. On top, I'll put Italian cheeses, just a little cheddar, and plenty of vegetables (mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, chopped broccoli) tossed in olive oil.

I make homemade pizzas too, including the dough, then cook on the BBQ on a stone.


Requirements on my pizza:

Penzey's Ground Chipotle Pepper in the sauce (to make it spicy)

White Corn (very good if you've never tried on pizza)

Pepperoni

Cheese (White only, no yellow)

Jalapenos

Sliced Garlic

A bit of sauce on top after I've put the ingredients on but before cooking


Optional:

Sun Dried Tomatos

Olives

Feta Cheese

Fontina Cheese

If made well... cheese hands down.


Problem is getting it made well unless it is made at home. Always too oily, or too crispy, or funny tasting dough/cheese. In those cases I would change my vote to pineapple and ham
