#1 Psychic Pie

When I walked in, the inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. This is definitely a great spot for tourists looking for something special! Plus, the restaurant serves alcohol, so I was able to enjoy a cold beer with my meal, which was an added bonus.

The menu also has some vegetarian options making it easy to accommodate even the pickiest of eaters. And let me tell you – the pizza was delicious! The toppings were fresh and cooked perfectly. It had just the right amount of char around the edges, and the crust had that authentic Italian taste.

The only downside is that Psychic Pie doesn’t offer delivery service, so if you want their amazing pizza you have to come visit them in person. But trust me – it’s worth it!

The atmosphere here is especially welcoming with its cozy seating and warm colors. Plus, the garlic cheese bread was a perfect starter to my meal – salty, garlicky and ooey-gooey deliciousness!

When my pizza arrived, I was blown away by the presentation. The fresh ingredients were artfully arranged in creative combinations that delighted my taste buds. My favorite is the Mediterranean Pie – roasted eggplant and bell peppers with pesto and goat cheese over a chewy crust. Yum!

I also need to mention their crazy craft cocktails – like the Pizzaleah Punch which had a great balance of sweet, sour and spicy. It was an unexpected surprise that really complimented my pizza indulgence.

Overall, Pizzaleah goes above and beyond for the ultimate pizza experience! If you’re looking for a slice of heaven in Sonoma County, you can find it here.

Not only does this place have some of the best pizza in town—it also serves some truly delicious cocktails! This is definitely a great place to get together with friends for drinks and dinner. And for those who prefer something sans-alcohol, they have plenty of options as well.

Speaking of options, I was pleasantly surprised to find a few vegan/vegetarian dishes on their menu. This means that carnivores and herbivores alike can enjoy their meal here without any complaints!

But their most impressive feature had to be their dessert menu—served up hot with an insane amount of flavors that’ll leave you wanting more!

The pizza itself was absolutely delicious! Decorated with the finest ingredients, each bite was full of flavor and texture. The crust was crispy and not too heavy, while the toppings blended perfectly together. I ordered multiple pizzas in different combinations – including pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, olives and onions – all equally delicious! Each slice was as flavorful as the last.

Not only was I impressed by the taste of Gio’s Pizza but also their selection of beer and wine. It truly made for an elevated experience that isn’t found anywhere else in Sonoma County.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting and cozy; the owners, Mama J and Papa J, were friendly and accommodating. And the pizza? Heaven in a slice!

I started with the classic Margherita pizza. It had generous amounts of cheese, fresh basil, and tomato slices that melted in my mouth. The crust was perfectly thin with just the right amount of crispiness. It was truly a delightful experience!

The second pizza I tried was their special – sausage and peppers. This one really did not disappoint either! The combination of flavors gave it a unique kick of flavor, while the toppings were cooked to perfection. Again, the crust held everything together subversively but with perfect crunchiness.

I was immediately impressed with the extensive menu of pizzas, salads, pastas and more. Even better, they offered vegetarian options – which is a huge plus for me since I’m more of a herbivore than a carnivore!

To top it off, they serve alcoholic beverages! Beer-lovers, this place rocks. They even have hard liquor – something I haven’t seen at many pizza places. What could be better?

The atmosphere was nice too; it had a touristy vibe – like you were going out for a night on the town in Sonoma County – so even if you’re not from here, you’ll feel right at home. And when I was done with my meal, I got to enjoy their amazing desserts!

The crust at Sonoma Pizza Co. is cooked to perfection – light and fluffy on the inside with a golden crispy exterior that’s just right! Plus, they use high quality ingredients like 100% real mozzarella cheese and thick slices of freshly chopped vegetables that make the pizzas even tastier.

I ordered the pepperoni pizza which had an amazing balance of flavors – spicy pepperoni, tangy tomatoes, creamy cheese, and fresh herbs all working together in perfect harmony. Moreover, the sauce was balanced – not too sweet or sour but just enough to bring out the flavor of the pizza toppings!

Overall, my experience with Sonoma Pizza Co. was delightful from start to finish! It’s easily one of the best places for pizza in Sonoma County and I can’t recommend it enough!

#8 Glen Ellen Star

At first glance, the restaurant was nothing special. But after going inside and looking around, my mouth started to water just from the smell of pizza cooking in the oven. I might have even drooled a little bit!

The menu options had something for everyone: plenty of vegetarian options and they also serve alcohol. You can even order a gluten-free crust if you’d like. As an avid pizza critic, I tried several slices of different kinds, and they all tasted fantastic!

The next thing that I noticed was their insanely good dessert options – it’s worth coming here just for those alone! From homemade ice cream to a selection of desserts made with locally sourced ingredients, there’s something for everyone on the menu.

Unfortunately, Glen Ellen Star does not offer delivery service – so you’ll have to come here in person to enjoy their delicious pizza and desserts. But trust me; it’s worth it! All in all, this is definitely one of the best places for pizza in Sonoma County.

The pizza is really top-notch—the crust is always cooked perfectly, the toppings are always fresh, and there’s enough cheese that it feels like you’re biting into a big hug. Plus, the sizes vary so you can get as much or as little as you want.

My only complaint is that they don’t offer delivery. That said, when you live in Sonoma County, why even bother with delivery when this wonderful restaurant is just around the corner?

The atmosphere is cozy yet the pizzas are definitely anything but! Their marinara sauce was so delicious, it was like I had died and gone to Naples. And their selection of toppings gave me an amazing array of options to choose from. They even have a few vegetarian options for all you non-meat lovers out there. Plus, CIBO Rustico has the added benefit of serving alcohol (which is always a plus in my book!).

Unfortunately, one downside is that they don’t offer delivery. But if you can make the trip, I guarantee it’ll be worth it! After all, who can resist great pizza and good drinks?

Best Wood Fired Pizza – il Fuoco Pizza

As soon as I walked into il Fuoco Pizza, the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked dough hit me like a hungry predator. My taste buds were already doing a little happy dance in my mouth, and I hadn’t even taken a bite yet! I knew I was in for a treat.

The menu presented a plethora of tantalizing options, from classic margherita to inventive creations like a pizza topped with prosciutto and arugula that made my mouth water just reading about it. I couldn’t decide, so I did what any seasoned food critic would do: I ordered one of each.

When the pizzas arrived, I was mesmerized by the beautiful charred crust, perfectly bubbled and kissed by the fiery oven. As I took my first bite, it was as if angels were singing in my mouth. The crust was crisp on the outside, yet delightfully chewy on the inside. The toppings were fresh and plentiful, each one bursting with flavor.

But what truly set il Fuoco Pizza apart was the friendly and eccentric staff. The pizzaiolos twirled their dough with such finesse, it was like watching a ballet. And the servers, oh boy! They were like stand-up comedians, cracking jokes and making me laugh throughout the meal. I couldn’t help but feel like I was part of an intimate, hilarious pizza community.

So, whether you’re a pizza aficionado or just a hungry traveler passing through sonoma, il Fuoco Pizza is a must-visit. The combination of outstanding wood fired pizza and a side-splitting dining experience makes this place truly extraordinary. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
