OH MY GOD THIS PIZZA IS AMAZING...
...will be the words out of your mouth after you chomp into a slice from Gioia Pizzeria. A New York-style joint (read: Thin Crust, As God Intended Pizza To be), this, with the CheeseBoard Pizza Collective, firmly places Berkeley in The Best City For Pizza In America contest. I usually give the crust to the dog, but in this case, I ate every bite -- it was like pastry it was so good. The cheese -- delightfully greasy, expertly seasoned. The sauce -- divine. The toppings-- first rate. My favorites were the Formaggio (good ol' plain cheese) and Pepperoni. With options this good, I don't have to whine about not living in the city of Tommaso's any more...
