Best pizza in the East Bay...

This is, hands-down, the best pizza in the East Bay.
(I know some of you will yell, "Arinell's!" or "Zachary's!" or even "Cheeseboard!" but you will all be wrong. Arinell's is good but has become rote over the years. Zachary's is good but doesn't really do Chicago-style (go to Chicago, punk!) and their thin crust is inedible. Cheeseboard is interesting and good but too damn Californian to be even near the best.)
Gioia's pizzeria (map) is the best. Amazing dough that turns into an amazing crust, simple ingredients, and it is simply heaven when it's hot. Here's a menu... eat and be merry:
