Where Pizza Ranch All Began
Pizza Ranch was born from a simple dream: to create the best ranch pizza in the United States — bold, fresh, and made with ingredients you can actually taste. In 2005, founder Marcus Holloway opened our first location in Cottleville, MO, armed with family recipes, a wood-fired oven, and an unshakeable belief that great food brings people together.
What began as a neighborhood secret quickly grew into a community staple. Our pizzaranch spirit — rooted in warmth, quality, and genuine care — became the heartbeat of everything we do. Two decades later, that spirit hasn't changed. We still hand-stretch every dough, source the finest local produce, and fire every pizza with the same love as day one.
Farm-Fresh Ingredients
Locally sourced produce, every single day.
Wood-Fired Ovens
Authentic flavor in every crisp, charred crust.

Community at Heart

Our Core Values
These aren't just words on a wall — they're the principles that guide every pizza we make, every customer we serve, every day.
Quality First
We never compromise on ingredients, technique, or taste. Our ranch pizza standards are set high — and we hold ourselves to them every service.
People First
Our team, our guests, our community. Every decision at Pizza Ranch is made with people in mind — because food is ultimately about connection.
Fresh Always
No shortcuts. We source local, prep daily, and serve fresh. If it's on your plate, it was prepared with the respect it deserves.
Always Innovating
Tradition inspires us but curiosity drives us. We're always experimenting with new flavors, techniques, and experiences for our guests.
Our Mission: Bring Bold Ranch Pizza to Every Table
At Pizza Ranch, our mission is simple — to craft extraordinary pizzaranch experiences using honest ingredients, skilled hands, and genuine hospitality. We believe every guest deserves a meal that feels like home, made with the kind of care you can actually taste.
