The Best Pizza Near Boonville Hotel & Restaurant, by the Record

Vintage film posters and antique tools cover the walls, and the wood-fired pizzas at this Geyserville pizzeria fill the room within minutes of the doors opening. The house-cured meats and the blistered Neapolitan pies built around the team's own smoked salumi are the draw, though the back patio, a glass-roofed greenhouse reached through an alley that looks borrowed from an Italian hill town, is reason enough to linger.

The crusts here crack audibly when you bite into them, which sounds like a small thing until you're at a table in Windsor wondering why most pizza doesn't do that. Pizzaleah is a NY-style slice shop where Leah Scurto handles the dough personally, and the brick oven leaves a char on the underside that keeps everything from going soft. The San Francisco Chronicle named it one of Sonoma County's best restaurants. Hot honey and Calabrian chile pies share the menu with the unironic classics.
