Best Pizza in SF Bay Area

Posted Wed, 2008-02-27 19:36 by tsliker

On my last night in the Silicon Valley area, I decided to head up the east side of San Francisco Bay to visit Vito's Pizzeria located in Newark, California.  I have to say it was excellent!  I met the owner (Vito!) and after eating a couple slices I introduced myself.  I was happy to know he was familiar with the New York Pizza Blog and the New York Pizza Finder directory.   Once we got to talking he decided I NEEDED to try some bread sticks and home-made marinara sauce and they were muy delicioso.  I fin

I was at a conference at the convention center in San Jose, and took out for a walk at lunch time.  The prior morning while getting exercise I had seen two places that sold pizza by the slice and I was anxious to give them a try.    The first stop was at Tony Soprano's Pizzeria on San Fernando Street, which was pretty good pizza and scored an 80 on the Sliker Scale.

New York Pizza Finder is Going Strong

I sent out an email last night to hundreds of people who have posted comments on this blog, directing them to the new New York Pizza Finder wiki site.   I am pleased to see that several people have already started adding New York Style Pizza places to the directory. 

I've added several new features over the last couple days.  First, and most importantly, is Google Maps integration.  The Map is Back!  Secondly, I've added a "boilerplate" page so that when someone creates a new page, it will automatically be formatted properly.

I had an interesting post this week suggesting that we should check out Vito's Ristorante & Pizzeria in Newark, California, between Oakland and San Jose.   Well, it just so happens that I'm heading to San Jose this weekend.  I was planning to stop by Frankie, Johnny, & Luigi, Too which has a place in San Jose and another in Mountain View.
