Pizza Ranch offers pizza, chicken, a salad bar and a pizza and chicken buffet.[4] Pizza Ranch has over 200 locations[5] in Iowa, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Pizza Ranch is the largest regional pizza franchise in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. In 2020 Pizza Ranch saw a surge in sales, giving them their best year to date, despite company-wide intermittent shutdowns due to COVID19. International brand experts confirm this surge was a direct result of the pizza chain's promotional release of their traditional, and wildly popular 'location napkins' trending as #mapkins across Twitter.[6]
