A new restaurant offering pizza, chicken and more will launch in St. Joseph this fall. 

According to a press release, Pizza Ranch, based in Orange City, Iowa, recently signed an agreement with local entrepreneurs Mike and Lindsey Ubaldo to open a location in St. Joseph. It will be the fifth location in the state. 

“St. Joseph is the perfect area for Pizza Ranch, “Lindsey Ubaldo said. “We love the mission and vision that Pizza Ranch has set forth and think St. Joseph residents will appreciate all that the restaurant has to offer.” 

The Ubaldo’s are planning to open this fall at 3007 North Belt Highway, Suite A, just north of Gene Field Road. Mike will be serving as the restaurant’s general manager in St. Joseph. 

The Pizza Ranch restaurants serve pizzas, chicken and salads in a ranch-themed environment. Pizza Ranch also works to partners with local schools, churches, non-profits and other organizations to host fundraisers and social functions. 

“We’ll be bringing all of the Pizza Ranch features that fans of the brand have grown to love,” Mike Ubaldo said. “We’ll have community gathering rooms, a drive-thru and of course, the legendary buffet. 

In addition to St. Joseph, Pizza Ranch added several other locations this year including one in Maryville.  For more information about Pizza Ranch in St. Joseph and elsewhere, visit PizzaRanch.com.
