This Pizza Place Rightfully Charges $1,000 For A Side of Ranch

Let's just get this out of the way: Putting ranch dressing on your pizza is disgusting and foul and you should feel ashamed of yourself if you desecrate the sanctity of the holy union of bread, tomato sauce, and cheese. For shame!

Anyway, Cane Rosso's in Dallas is doing it right and "charging" customers a sweet grand for the privilege to eat their pizza WRONG. Owner Jay Jerrier explained to Eater the type of people he usually encounters ordering this pghlemy subtance. It's weird, it always seems to be young, college-age girls that ask for it.

Of course, when they caught wind of his joke giant bottle of ranch, the Annals of Reddit reacted as they often do. Everybody [on Reddit] seems to assume we're the worst people in the world, like how dare they tell me how to eat my pizza! Dude, it's a joke. Relax.

But really, it's just a damn Yankee thing.

It was pretty funny how people did take it really seriously and were super offended. I guess it's the Midwest. They love them some ranch.

Also, it's his restaurant. He can do what he wants.

Well you know, at Cane Rosso we really try — and you gotta take this with a grain of salt — we try to stay authentically Neapolitan, but we're also the same guys who are putting brisket on pizza, and bacon marmalade. But we really try to stay far away from the kind of Midwest-American tradition. No chicken, no ham, no pineapple. I think for the most part, again, take it with a grain of salt, Cane Rosso is more about restraint and balance where we're not taking it to extremes. Ban ranch dressing on pizza.

Yep, it was very similar. Those are older, and not in hardcover form, but I bet a lot of the recipes are the same, LOL.

Aleksander Chan sounds like a typical busybody, bossy progressive.

Sorry, I’ll be taking my business to a pizza joint that believes “the customer is always right” (because I am).

And that’s the way it should be. You should be free to choose which restaurants you like, and the management should be free to run the place as they see fit. The Civil Rights Act ruined that idea though.
