And the Nominees Are: Vote for Best Pizza in East County

Gooey cheesy goodness.

Pizza just brings up happy memories, of grabbing a slice and walking down the street munching, or hosting a big gathering and ordering a bunch of pies so you don't have to cook and all you have to do is throw away the boxes.

So what's the best pizza around—whether it's a traditional slice of pepperoni, a pie with everything on it, or something more nouveau, like with garlic white instead of red sauce?
