Great Pizza

Here are my top lists for pizza places in the bay area and or california. I love pizza and I love trying new pizzarias.

Spuds Pizza - the best non NY style thin crust pizza I've ever had. I could eat their pies every day all day. Their service is a bit...clownish, but whatever, its a result of them working their asses off so they still deserve a good tip.

Zachary'. Zachary's is better than the Deep Dish pizza I had in Chicago. Encredibly fresh sauce and crust. The atmosphere is great, but cramped and the service is always super friendly despite being busy every hour they're open.

Lanesplitter. The best New York style pizza I've ever had (but I've never been to New York). Small or Large (get the large) or by the slice. They also have a patio out back and a good selection of beer. But the focus is on the pizza. Crispy and thin and perfect if you like NY style.

La Val's Pizza. There is something about the taste of their pizza that is addictive to me. They're quick and dirty style is perfect for getting something greasy in your stomach (which is great because they're across the street from The Mallard Club). They're also next door to a coin op laundry, so its good bait to go wash my clothes.

Last but not least, Tomatina. Very good mix style pizza. Upper class Walnut Creek style. Its a nice mix between California style and NY style. Very thing and dusty crust. Square pizzas too.

Oh, if you're in Santa Cruz look out for Upper Crust on the west side. Off of the highway1 and swift street I think. Get your own thin pizza with extra sauce.
