Do you eat your pizza with Ranch dressing? →[More:]I don't.
IMO, Good pizza has enough flavor to eat alone, which is why when someone says they eat theirs with ranch, I assume they are from a place with bad, flabby gross pizza. Consider yourself judged!

I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm about as likely to do that as to dip my pizza in melted butter or chocolate fondue.

No, but I used to dip BBQ flavored potato chips in cottage cheese. Unflavored potato chips are also good that way. Ones with ridges work best.

I guess it's not at all the same thing.

My grandma used to make peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches for her kids.

I have done this on occasion when the opportunity presents itself, but I don't make a habit of it. Everything tastes better with ranch, though :D

I don't understand. Are you supposed to pour it on the pizza? Or dip the slices? Is confused.

What? Ranch dressing? With pizza? Fuck no.

There's a local pizza place that has a stock combination of chicken, bacon, ranch. It is an astounding combination.

Ranch is the ketchup of the 90s. Ranch can suck it.

octo- When I got to college I witnessed someone get a salad bowl of ranch dressing and a slice of pizza and dip before each bite.
I almost ran home.

Personally I think of Ranch dressing in the same way I think of cilantro. It doesn't belong on anything.

No ranch just hot sauce.

Ranch dressing on pizza is vile and wrong. Pizza is meant to be delicious all on its own. (My mom sometimes dips garlic cheesy breadsticks in Ranch though, ugh.)

I'd never thought of eating pizza with ranch dressing before. Thanks rmless!

This was a Thing at my elementary school. At least half-a-dozen kids would eat their cafeteria pizza with ranch. Some would serve themselves a reasonable amount of ranch on the side and dip. A few would basically drench their whole slice with about as much ranch as they could get until a teacher stepped in.

It always grossed me out. The pizza sucked to be sure but ranch didn't help, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure a few kids were doing it gross out other kids and the teachers.

No, blue cheese dressing. For reals. But only when I'm home alone and no one can see me.

Never heard of that. I have to admit, I'm kind of intrigued. Especially with the whole chicken, bacon, ranch thing that plinth mentioned.

Sometimes I dip the crusts into some ranch or blue cheese dressing. But not the middle part, with all the cheese and sauce. Just the crust.

My brother views ranch dressing with contempt. "It's so NASCAR" he'll say. So I keep my ranch consumption quiet around him.

No, that sounds Midwestern.
