I want to be clear that I am not in agreement with the conclusions of a new national survey that has declared the worst pizza brand in America, but if you need to know they're still hanging in there in Missouri with 9 Show Me State locations.

I don't know about you, but I've never met a pizza I didn't like (love). That's why when I saw Mashed share what they believe are the 30 most popular pizza chains ranked from worst to first, I was confused.

What is allegedly the 'worst' pizza brand in America?

Mashed says that it's Pizza Ranch. According to the official Pizza Ranch website, they still have 9 restaurants in Missouri. The argument against Pizza Ranch is their buffet style pizza. Again, I disagree. I love 3 things in life: Pizza, Ranches and Buffets, so what's the problem?

Here's my only issue with Pizza Ranch. All of their Missouri locations are either in the Kansas City area, the southwestern part of the state or St. Louis. Are you pizza people biased against the all-American northeast Missouri pizza lovers?

I'm not a fan of food elites. Pizza is a subjective thing and I don't think there is a worst version of it. Is there a worst version for you? Maybe. Is there a worst version for me? I highly doubt it. I think the Mashed people should stop picking on the Pizza Ranch people and instead convince them to branch out to more parts of Missouri.
