"Ranch Pizza, a Woodlawn pizzeria known for its thick, chewy crust and tangy sides of ranch dressing, will expand to Northwest Portland this fall. The menu is still under development, but if the original restaurant is any indication, the new pizzeria will specialize in its crispy, thick, bread-y pizzas, with toppings like pepperoni and basil. Ranch Pizza started as a delivery-only pop-up business before taking over the kitchen at Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock’s bar, Poison’s Rainbow, in March 2018. Three months later, Ranch Pizza opened its own restaurant, a small pizzeria next to the Tamale Boy on Dekum. After more than a year in the Kerns bar, Ranch left Poison’s Rainbow, presumably to pursue this second location. Ranch Northwest will open at 916 NW 21st Avenue." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
