STRICKLY TO GO – Clayton Road at Bailey….Bulgarian Vegetarian, Thin Crust with Romain Salad extra red onion with B Cheese Dressing….THE BEST
Bulgarian Vegetarian for the win! Although I must throw a shout to Round Table. Not only good pizza, but they paid my way through my twenties in three different locations. Prior to that, I worked at the former Red Vest Pizza on Ygnacio.
I loved their Little Sink because I always ended up wearing the Kitchen Sink when we got it.
Strictly to go at Clayton x Bailey. Fat slide near uc Berkeley is also the best; not sure that if it is still in business
Strictly to go pizza on Clayton the owner ROCK!!!! love their pizza customer service amszing!!!!
Prima in Walnut Creek (closed in 2020 after 43 years).
Prima was the best.
Bella Roma in Martinez!!! Long since out of business:(
Old Mission Pizza in Willits. Best pepperoni pizza we’ve ever had.
Skip’s.
Best pizza around. Priced like it too.
Guerrin in Buenos aires Argentina.
My grandmother’s pizza was the best, followed my my Dad’s, who made it the same as she did. My Grandmother and Grandfather were both born and raised in the same small town near Potenza Italy.
Locally: Skip’s in Clayton.

Well, that could explain the fabulous trips to Italy that you’ve talked about.
We love Italy and if you haven’t been there; you should go. My wife does not have any Italian heritage and she loves Italy. There is so much to see and it is a beautiful country. We have been there 5 times for a total of around 13 weeks and are going back for a month this year. Most people go to the “big 3” of Rome, Florence and Venice (big 4 if you include Lake Como), which are all worth visiting. However, there are many other smaller places that are wonderful. Our two favorite cities in all of Europe are Florence and Assisi. The northern Italian lakes are beautiful, as are the Dolomites. You should do what you can to make it to Italy.

Like your wife, I also do not have any Italian heritage, but I would love to visit. A show I watch had the family from America visit their relatives in Italy. I looked it up, and they were in Anguillara Sabazia by Lake Bracciano. It looked like such a beautiful place, and somewhere I’d like to go.
Skippolini’s in WC when they first opened … then gradually went downhill from there till they closed
Pie Punks….2nd St SF between mission and Howard. Grandma slice pepperoni is $6… If you’re in the area it’s a must!
During college, Canal Street Pizza in Chico, CA mid 1970s.
Morning after, warm beer and cold pizza.
Those were the days,
Weekends started on Thursday and ended on Tuesday.
Plain cheese pizza with oregano sprinkles….from a push cart in the Stonestown mall…..25 cents a slice circa 1967. So tasty to my 6 yr old buds,
Cassanos, Dayton, Ohio since 1950
Lou Malnati’s in Chicago. My go-to spot whenever I’m in town.
Gambino’s Moscow Idaho.
LaVal’s North Side of campus, 1973
Straw Hat Pizza, Lafayette, 1974
Freddie’s Pizza, Lafayette, 1974
Worst pizza? Truck stop in Rieti, Italy, 1969.
Not sure, when I lived in New York City, there were a pizza place almost directly below my apartment, which was on 3rd. Ave, between 36th and 37th street, I don’t remember the name, but they were open to about 1 a.m. on the same block was a great Jewish Deli, that was open all night, so could always get a late night snack. A couple of other places comes to mind, from New York, one on Lexington Ave, close to Bloomingdales, and another on around 24th street, don’t remember any of the names. My ex-husband was from Madison Wisconsin and he had family in Chicago, he swore the best pizza was from Chicago, deep dish, I think it was called Uno’s. In this area North Beach Pizza in the City. Must admit I don’t eat a lot of pizza in this area. When my friend on Clayton Way was alive, sometimes we would order pizza, not sure where it came from though, often I cooked for my platonic male friends, but when I didn’t want to cook, we would order pizza, it was before I lived in this area. I would come over to visit my friend from the Peninsula.
Can always count on you, Hanne, to add a little more to an answer, and I mean that in a good way. “Thumbs Up”.
Bella Roma in Martinez and Pinkys at the old location on South California in Walnut Creek.
Nothing beats good old Freddie’s in Lafayette. Have yet to find a pizza as good as the ones Jim Tate use to make.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Melo’s in Pleasant Hill yet! It’s delicious out of the box but warmed up leftovers are extra good because the bottom gets nice and crispy. Also, their garlic cheese bread and tortellini with Alfredo sauce pair nicely with a couple slices.
When I was stationed in Great Lakes, I drove down to visit one of my Chicago cousins. We went to some pizza dive at the end of a long, dark alley. But the pizza filled up the frying pan it was served in, and it was amazing.
In the Claycord area, our favorite pizza came from Strictly-to-Go.
Chuck E. Cheese hand down
DeVino’s Pizza in Pleasant Hill
Rocco’s in WC, their cauliflower crust pizza is the best. So crunchy and you don’t even know it’s not a regular crust pizza. We always get it customized with different items on each side…now I’m hungry for pizza darn it!
