Pizza Ranch Buffet Exterior sign

The time is right to open a Pizza Ranch – recognized as a top pizza chain

It’s no surprise that 2020 was a tough year for any business but it could have been catastrophic for the pizza industry. Thankfully, Americans didn’t stop loving their pizza and signs are beginning to point to a full rebound as the world begins to open back up and pizza franchises learn to pivot to meet the growing demand. The pizza category registered the strongest sales performance of any menu type in 2020, showing the resiliency of this classic meal choice. The future is looking bright and there’s never been a better time to add to your portfolio by opening a Pizza Ranch.

Pizza Ranch a top pizza chain in the 2021 PMQ Magazine Pizza Power Report

This year, we’ve been recognized as an award-winning franchise by being named in three different Top 20 Chain categories in the 2021 Pizza Power Report published by PMQ Magazine. The categories we ranked in were:

  • Highest Volume Per Store, Ranked #14

Plus these additional awards

  • 2021 America’s Best Customer Service in the Buffet Category – Newsweek Magazine

This recognition further confirms the strength of our business model in a $46.24B industry and positions Pizza Ranch as a top pizza franchise opportunity. The future is looking bright for any enthusiastic business owners looking to diversify their portfolio with an award-winning brand.
