It's going to be later than anticipated, but Pizza Ranch in the Village of Lisbon is still going to open, according to company officials.

While the original plan was that Pizza Ranch was to open in 2023, it is now slated for a 2024 opening.

Jessica Kenyon, new restaurant marketing consultant for Pizza Ranch, said Pizza Ranch plans on breaking ground by the end of 2023. She said it's possible the restaurant could open in the second quarter of 2024. However, she said no opening date is set. "Nothing has been announced," she said.

Where will Pizza Ranch be in Lisbon?

Pizza Ranch is slated to be built in Lisbon Business Park East at Townline Road and a new road called Lieds Lane.

Lisbon Business Park East was formed in 2020 and is part of the town's first TIF district, approved by then-town officials in 2018. (Lisbon has since become a village.) It is at Townline Road and Main Street (Highway 74) at the former site of Lied's Nursery. Lied's closed about 13 years ago.
