Well, Downtown Hillsboro has killed yet another pizza shop at this location. The first, Sizzle Pie, seemed like an anomaly, as parent company Sortis Holdings was going through tremendous upheaval and closing locations of many of its chains (Sizzle, See See's, Rudy's, etc.). But killing off Ranch--a chain that catered directly to this area's dumb love of ranch dressing on pizza and Abby's/Izzy's-style toppings overkill--suggests that Hillsboro culture may not be able to handle an actual, grown-up, big-city pizza shop. You cannot blame the presumed lack of foot traffic on Second Avenue for this. Now, with the exception of Pizzario--which makes the same small, wood-fired pizzas in the same space that its predecessor Earth Mother did, only with a focus on live music and cheap drinks--every pizza shop in Hillsboro is now located in a strip mall. Jersey Girl, the Schmizzas, Curry Pizza House, and Ranch's replacement, Society Pie: All in strip malls and all pretty much reliant on drive-up service or, with the exception of Schmizza's direct delivery, third-party apps. You also can't blame the culture of said pizza shop. Sizzle Pie was always going to be a tough fit here because of the metal soundtrack and kids behind the counter that the olds seemed fixated on hating, but Ranch basically was Hillsboro. It was $3-off happy hour specials, it video games for the kids (and Gen X/older Milennial parents), it was home delivery, it was classic rock. You can't even blame the location anymore. Grand Central bakery has now been there since the plaza opened and witnessed multiple pizza places come and go. While the first bar overlooking that plaza failed, the tapas place that took its spot has been going for more than a year and has been shockingly popular. No, it's just clear that good pizza isn't really Hillsboro's thing. When Ranch closed and Society Pie was announced as the replacement, there was some excitement about it being a suburban tenant, but there was also the reaction that the space was now playing down to its surrounding area. And that's a fair assessment. Both Sizzle Pie and Ranch came about because their founders wanted to make unique versions of existing pizza styles and managed to carve their own niches in New York- and Detroit-style pizzas. They produced combinations that challenged the customer and showed them new combinations of ingredients and flavors that are absent from the suburban pizza spectrum. Hillsboro rejected that wholeheartedly, despite a price tag that, per inch, was more of a bargain than Pizzario right down the street. Now it gets Society Pie which speaks to it in a language that the city understands. Ducks and Beavers, tech bro jokes (it's a picture of Ice-T because it's an iced tea fountain, get it?), local band posters and high school photos on the walls. And the pizza? Much like Jersey Girl or Pizzario, "good for a suburb." There's more effort than you'll see from a local chain, but maybe fewer beers, cocktails, and apps than your better Schmizza locations and nothing that will replace Lovely's, Baby Doll, Pizza Jerk, Red Sauce, Ken's, Apizza Scholls, Dimo's, Scottie's, or Escape From New York in your heart if you moved out here from Portland for work or what you presumed were better schools. There's a strong chance that Society Pie makes the third pizza place in this space the charm because it understands both what it isn't and what the neighborhood needs it to be. But if community spirit, slice specials, better signage, and dedicated delivery service still don't revive this pizza spot in the former bank drive-thru, then it isn't Portland or the pricing or the parking that are at fault--it's Hillsboro itself. read more

The pizza here is very tasty! I've never seen pickles on a pizza before but it's my new fav. I love the thick crust. We dined in and our order came out super fast. Cute little spot with a couple arcade games inside. Will definitely be back! read more

Ranch PDX - Hillsboro - Honey I shrunk the pickle - Pizza Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

We were the only ones here for dinner, the atmosphere is relaxed but not really somewhere you'd go to hang out. Nice variety on the pizzas and really fresh ingredients. The Caesar dressing is soooo good! Really fresh tasting and pretty plain salad with not much to it, but I would order it again even at $12. Overall prices are on the higher side for a pizza place but high quality for a pizza place too so you get what you pay for. If the price points were a little lower and they added a bar with some sports we would be more likely to return, but still a solid choice overall. read more

Came to the farmers market on a gorgeous day. Decided to try Ranch. Got a quarter Hawaiian to share. Service was friendly. Plenty of seating as everybody was at the farmers market. This location did not have a LoRo coffee but the other two I've been by do. Oh the pizza. Came out hot and fresh, and I've been dreaming about it since last weekend. The toppings, the crust the light crispness, were all excellent! Best Hawaiian I've ever had. Two big thumbs up! It was plenty for 2 people to share. The beer on draft, normally $7 is $4 during happy hour. Whole pies are also $3 off. There is a ranch pizza closer to me in Beaverton which I will definitely make a point to try now. So good! read more

Ahh the pizza was delicious!! We got a whole pie--half pepperoni (+sausage) and the other half was their special (+tomatoes). I don't remember all that was on their special, but the flavor was so yummy. I couldn't stop myself from eating more, even after I felt full.. my favorite part was definitely the crusty. It's so crispy! We spent about $46 (including tip), which included a glass of their boxed white wine and a canned root beer. Not bad for 2 people. Only downside was not having a table big enough for our group of 8. read more

Saw this place and knew we had to come back and try it after going to Hillsboro for the street art festival. Had lunch this past weekend and it did not disappoint - I had the number 4 with hot honey - sausage, ricotta and Calabrian chiles and husband got two slices - pepperoni and Hawaiian: all the above were fantastic. Slices are huge - we learned 2 is too many. Leftovers, however are never a bad thing. Lastly, roasted vs pickled jalapeños are 10/10! read more

Spectacular new pizza place In Hillsboro. The pizza dough was so fresh and spongy throughout but crispy in the bottom and edges. Sooooo good. Yummy salads. We shared the Caesar salad. They have a nice selection of beers and a soda fountain. I tried the Tieton blackberry Cider on tap. Yum!!!! The staff were all friendly and pleasant and working hard. Tables were all clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating read more

Excellent first time at this location. The pepperoni was perfect. The cheese was actually better than expected. The $4 with sausage, calabrian chilies, and ricotta was so good! Nothing bad to say. This is a great Detroit pizza with ranch dressing to dip in. What's not to love? read more

Great pizza! It's different from your typical round style pie, but the flavor and quality of the ingredients is top tier and texture is the crust for this particular style of pizza is nice. I recommend getting slices with fewer toppings, but that's personal preference. I find less is more when it comes to pizza toppings and allows you to better enjoy the whole bite with crust, sauce, and tops. Get a ranch cup as well. Their ranch is up there with the best. read more

We've ordered from here (always for delivery) several times since my initial review. So I'm updating my review because the quality and taste of the pizza & ranch dressing, as well as the consistency of the service have been on point. This has become our go to pizza and the ranch dressing is absolutely incredible. Hits every time! read more

Discovered Ranch after visiting Baerlic in SE and so excited to find another one in Hillsboro. Perfect location for a quick bite while enjoying the Tuesday market or other downtown Hillsboro activities. Just like the name suggests, best ranch in town! Good pizza too! read more

Ranch PDX - Hillsboro - Quarter Hawaiian - Pizza Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Love the crunch and crust. Homemade ranch (of course) is a must. Parking stinks and it's on the pricier end but it's not your average pizza and you don't eat as many slices because it's so dense! read more

Ranch is good. Honestly, when I saw my family's pizza, I thought, "it looks like they just threw stuff on this pizza". It wasn't pretty, and it just looked like toppings plopped on the pizza. Ooohhhh but hold the entire phone! This pizza was absolutely amazing. They don't skimp on the toppings and the pizza is quality made. I really like this style of pizza. And can you guess what sauce comes with your pizza?! Of course, peanut butter--just kidding, it's RANCH! read more

Ranch PDX - Hillsboro - Pepperoni and veggie (no onions) - Pizza Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Absolutely surly service. We couldn't even order drinks. The person behind the counter was very rude.

first time, not the last! great dough! it was just perfect dough, not to springy and very tasty! we had the all-meat which was brimming with toppings. this is pricey pizza, but worth it once in a while! the parking is suspect, as its downtown and not easy accessible. a great addition to downtown Hillsboro. read more

Excellent Excellent pizza, filling, affordable, quality ingredients, excellent service. pecorino and basil topped on all of the slices. Top quality pizza at a good price. Love the thick slices! read more

Ranch PDX - Hillsboro - The #4 and slice of pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Sloppy, very little scattered toppings. Crust is couple inches thick, focaccia-like, but was soggy. I ordered a half Veggie & half Pepperoni but it was indistinguishable where the halves met. Very expensive for what is equivalent to a loaf of bread and a handful of pepperoni and sprinkle of veggies. Sorry, Detroit style pizza is not my jam. read more

Called to place my order for pick-up: a whole pepperoni/sausage & a whole veggie with vegan cheese & ricotta. Order was taken well & the time given was approximately 20 minutes. I arrive & parked about half a block up. I located the establishment & it's immaculate inside. I was on a phone call so I didn't get to converse much, but the guy working was very nice & ensured my order was correct. I paid and the guy working proceeded to bag everything up for me so I could walk & talk. The look of the pizza was aesthetically pleasing. The taste was much better than I anticipated. I'm originally from California (Bay Area) and the food in Oregon has been a hit or miss since my move here. Excellent high quality ingredients, presentation, and taste. As a vegetarian, I loved the taste & texture of the vegan cheese & the ricotta is a must. My family enjoyed the meat pizza, and my adult daughter who is a pizza connoisseur said the pizza is fire (ie excellent) & she loved the house made ranch along with the blood orange soda. I will 100% order pizza from here again. read more

It was a relatively slow Saturday and service was good. The location is great as downtown continues to grow with increasingly interesting food options. We got the whole pie #4, half sausage/half vegan pepperoni. Vegan pepperoni was... vegan... but outside of that everything else was unexpectedly great. It's not my mom's sheet pan pizza. All exterior surfaces were crispy, despite being thick the dough was airy, pizza was flavorful and spicy but offset by the ricotta. Their ranch sauce is also good but not necessary. I'd like to try the pepperoni next time, seems a bit overkill but I think I'll trust them after the last experience. 1/4 pie will fill someone up no doubt. read more

Loved the crispiness of the pizza and toppings were mostly great. I just wish there was more cheese on the pizza. I got the veggie pizza and there wasn't much of any cheese to be had :( read more

Best pizza I've ever had. Highly recommend it. So excited to have this in Hillsboro.

Best veggie pizza I've ever had. Freaking amazing. The crust is to die for! And the "quarter" is plenty for one person.
