Chicken Bacon Ranch & Good Vibes: Ballard Beer Box’s Fall Favorite That Hits Every Craving

When Comfort Meets Craft

As Seattle’s skies turn grey and the air fills with that unmistakable fall chill, one thing keeps Ballard locals cozy — good food, good beer, and good company.

At Ballard Beer Box, the kitchen team has perfected the art of seasonal comfort. Each quarter, they roll out a new pizza that captures the spirit of the season — this time, it’s a crowd-pleasing classic with a gourmet twist: the Chicken Bacon Ranch.

It’s rich, savory, and unapologetically satisfying — a flavor combination that reminds you why pizza and beer were always meant to be together.

Meet the Seasonal Star: The Chicken Bacon Ranch

This season’s special features grilled chicken, crisp bacon, melty mozzarella, a ranch base, and garlic oil brushed on the crust.

Each bite balances smoky, creamy, and garlicky notes — the kind of flavor that keeps you reaching for one more slice. The chicken brings tenderness, the bacon adds crunch, and the ranch ties everything together with cool richness, while the garlic oil gives that warm, roasted edge Ballard Beer Box fans love.

Flavor profile: creamy and smoky

• garlic-kissed

• comforting and bold

It’s the kind of pizza that feels like a hug — especially when paired with a cold pint on a rainy Seattle night.

You can check it out now on our menu or ask your server about the October–November seasonal special before it rotates out for winter.

Pair It Right: Beer and Cider Matches from Our Rotating Taps

The Chicken Bacon Ranch may be rich, but it plays surprisingly well with different styles of beer. That’s where our 14 rotating taps come in.

Here’s how to make the most of your next pairing:

• American Pale Ale → crisp and balanced — cuts through the ranch creaminess and refreshes the palate.

• Amber Ale → malty and toasty — echoes the smoky bacon flavor.

• Dry Cider → light, bright, and apple-forward — adds a clean contrast to garlic and mozzarella.

• Porter or Brown Ale → roasty and smooth — for those who love deep, cozy pairings on cool evenings.

If you’re unsure what’s pouring, your server can suggest something seasonal from local legends like Reuben’s Brews, Stoup Brewing, or Fair Isle — all regulars on our tap wall.

By choosing local farms and brewers, we keep every flavor fresh, support Seattle’s small producers, and stay true to the neighborhood roots that define Ballard.
