Served: My Plea To Tip Kindly
I too, am a generous tipper, on most occasions. I always tip at least 20 percent, unless I've had really horrendous service. However, on the other side of the "keep the change" dialogue, I once had a waitress keep the change, even though we hadn't told her to! We had planned on tipping separately and needed the change from our bill back, but the waitress never reappeared. She just kept whatever change was leftover. So we left her with just that, even though I would usually never tip so low (although she had been a truly horrible server anyway).
And @jnash, I disagree with your comments about not tipping at places like Starbucks. I used to work at a local ice cream store where we would get our asses kicked when it was busy. We didn't depend on making tips but we always appreciated when people realized we were working as fast and hard as could to serve them, even with a line around the block. Same goes for a busy Starbucks. Now I always at least leave my extra change at places like that when it's incredibly busy.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I'm an East Coaster (originally from VT) and nearly everyone I know puts Ranch on their pizza. And it's delicious. But I agree that it's only for pizza that isn't good to begin with. Now that I live in Manhattan, I'm not putting Ranch on my slices, but in Burlington? Yes please.
Of course, this could be because all my friends are obsessed with Ranch & use it as a condiment for everything from pizza to french fries and mozzerella sticks.

I don't put ranch on anything! Gross tasting stuff.

Amen "omnomnom"! (I'm from Mich, too. Same area)
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I absolutely love ranch on my pizza. Granted, I am a middle-school student (though homeschooled), and got the idea from my (middle school, homeschooled) friends after we started dipping French-Fries in Ranch (that's justified in Mich--here most of the fries are way too greasy or way too dry). We decided to try it on our pizza--and it's great. Only Hidden Valley (tm) works though. Deep dish pizza doesn't need it, fortunately. A group fave for us is cayenne pepper, fresh black pepper, ranch, and tabasco sauce. I agree, if it's good pizza, it doesn't need condiments, but (1) pizza in metro-detroit isn't that good, and (2), it doesn't matter if it needs it--if ya want it, I say put it on unashamedly!

I have NEVER heard of this culinary habit of ranch dressing on pizza until I read this in the Wash. Post:

It just seems like such an incongruous flavor or condiment to add to a pizza.

Nothing is better than Ham & Pineapple pizza dipped in Ranch.
I hated pizza until I tried it with ranch. Any type of pizza goes great with ranch really except Mexican style, I usually dip that in sour cream.

Hey there EatersRegret, I live in the UK and if I can get Ranch dressing here in Wales, I'm jolly sure you can get in in London! My local Tesco has one by Paul Newman. Never had it before so can't compare it with any other makes...bet you can get to a nice deli that would sell it, too!
NO NO NO NOT ON PIZZA!

What a bunch of snobs. Don't put Ranch on pizza!! Eat whatever you want on pizza.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I just looked up ranch dressing and DID throw up in my mouth! Never heard of anyone dipping pizza crusts in any kind of dip, never mind what sounds like is probably some mass-produced, salt and fat-fest. You crazy Americans and your food mutilations. I need to cheer myself up by looking at a bird getting eaten by a spider.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I grew up in OK, but I have lived all over: KS, MO, NC, UT, CA and I have noticed that people eat different things based on where they are from and how they grew up. I don't think its fair to persecute one another for something we've never tried...all great combos had to start somewhere...ie: biscuits and gravy, sweet tea, chicken and waffles, etc. I personally LOVE Ranch or Garlic Dipping sauce on the crust pieces of my pizza, but only on the crust. One thing that I love to do with leftover pizza is top it with cottage cheese and a little black pepper! Call me crazy, but I also believe, its my pizza I can do what I want with it.

OMG, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Never mind ranch alone, but the thought of ham, pineapple, and ranch ? My goodness, what a sacrilege to the almighty pizza.(NY style of course)
Well does any other really even exist?
I'm a Northern transplant here in the south (NC)
This is where I first discovered people using ranch as a condiment rather then the ones I had been brought up around such as Grated cheese or crushed red pepper .
C'mon, everyone knows if the pizza is good you don't need anything else besides napkins!
Come to think of it, some of the pizza I've tried to choke down here in the south might have actually tasted better with a jar of ranch for dipping!
Now it's starting to make sense.
I finally found a great pizza joint here without having to disgrace the almighty pizza pie!
And I can't stop laughing about Keith W 3:33 10/21/08 comment !

I used to hate pizza but then I tried it with ranch on accident. I'm the type of person that will eat something if it toches something else. So I try it and love it.
We have frozen pizza at home or we order pizza so it's easy. Then the only restaurant I get pizza at is Pizza Hut and they have a salad bar so ranch is there.
I dip all kinds. Ham & Pineapple in ranch is the best. BTW I only dip, I don't pour it on top.

I am a 4th grade teach in Las Vegas, and most of the time when the school serves pizza for lunch, it also happens to come with a lettuce salad and a small cup of ranch dressing. Nearly every kid spreads the ranch on top of the pizza without a second thought. I think a lot of kids now think of ranch as a condiment and not a salad dressing.
I used to live in Nebraska, and a pretty large percentage of the 30-and-under crowd there can't eat pizza, even good pizza, without salad dressing on it. I have never understood.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I don't have anything against ranch dressing but I think it is just disgusting on pizza. It just turns into a warm soupy mess. Gross.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I enjoy ranch on my pizza; especially bacon ranch. I started doing it when I was an undergrad living in my dorm and I was out of blue cheese which is what I usually used on pizza. The ranch flavor was great with the zesty pizza sauce and cheese.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
i am from the boston area -- spent my whole life there until after college. there are a huge number of people that use ranch. everyone in my high school back east did, and now here in california at my office everyone is even MORE obsessed. must be a garlicky ranch, apparently. they dip fries, pizza, bread, anything you could imagine in it. but like everyone else said, generally as a dipping sauce for the crust. i don't do it, but i can't say i'm horrified that others do. i don't like ketchup but i don't freak out when i see people putting ketchup on things i wouldn't.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I have never even heard of putting ranch on pizza, but now I'm going to HAVE to try it! I dip my fried green tomatoes and fried pickles in ranch though .... mmmmmmm!!
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I had the same experience as you did -- in college, little cups of it would come with cheap/free fast food pizza. So did little cups of garlic butter. I no longer do that either. I grew up in Houston and went to college in Austin.
But it's also a Houston thing...or Texas thing...to dip everything in ranch. Fried pickles too!
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
THAT's what those packets of Ranch were for? Midwest college mystery solved.... sheeesh. I still don't get it, but yah... that pizza was really subpar.

Adam: I had no idea. Way to represent the 'heads!
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
I had never really heard of putting ranch on pizza as general practice (although I did see it in college). But the town I grew up in had a townie pizza joint which made really awesome honey mustard sauce and everyone would ask for some to go with their pizza. I personally love to dip pineapple pizza in it. (We love it so much that they started selling frozen pies with a small container of it for people to take back to college with them.)

@BangieB: I hope it didn't seem like I wasn't getting uppity about Wisconsin! I was born there and have a ton of relatives there (Milwaukee). I'm aware of the deep-fried cheese curds! Yum.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
Adam: No prob. Once you start getting uppity about Freaking Wisconsin, of all things, it's curtains anyway. I come from a place where they take young cheese, batter it, fry it, and *then* dip it in ranch, so who am I to talk.
Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?
No, I don't like ranch dressing and I most certainly don't need it on my pizza.
I just found out the other day that my boyfriend really likes Italian dressing on his pizza. One day a bottle of Italian was on the table while we were eating and I went to put it back in his refrigerator and he said "hey I was using that!" to which I replied with a look of disgust, "on your pizza?!". He claims he's had this habit for awhile. Anyone else do this?!
I think pizza tastes good the way it is.
