There’s real ranch — and then there’s the mass-produced version that tastes like dollar-store glue and meekly slides off the food it’s supposed to flavor, as if rightly embarrassed by its own existence. Hometeam Pizza’s ranch is the real deal. Co-owner Samantha Jackson researched what makes a good ranch good — sour cream, mayonnaise and buttermilk — and refined the spice blend to her taste, with the goal of a “pourable but not runny” dressing/dip that enhances each slice without overpowering it. “Minus giving birth to two amazing kiddos,” says her husband and Hometeam co-owner Kevin Jackson, “it’s probably what she gets complimented on the most.”
