That's interesting to hear, because I've never understood what the attraction was with Tony & Alba's.  Sure, they make good pizza, and it's of an identifiable style, but it's not *that* good.  Nonethless, the place is one of those old Mountain View culinary institutions like El Calderon and El Zarape (RIP) and Frankie & Johnnie's.  Go figure.

I noticed that there's a Tony & Alba's in Scotts Valley.  Has anyone tried it?  I recently moved to Boulder Creek and was pleased to find an icon of Mountain View in the area, even if it isn't one that offers a transcendental dining experience.

The best pizza I've ever had was at Windy City Pizza, on El Camino near 92 in San Mateo.  Pizza Chicago is a close second.

We just were at Jakes last night, and it was pretty awful. I'm trying to be kind, but I just don't get sour dough pizza crust. The sauce is a bit bitter for my taste, but they did put a goodly amount of cheese on the pie, which I've found unusual in the bay area. Is everyone here so anti-dairy that we can't have cheese on pizza? Isn't weather relative?
