"In Point Richmond I visit Raymond’s Pizzeria, which opened in July 2019 and is co-owned by pro skateboarder Brad Staba and Nathan Trivers of Up & Under Pub and Grill. Built around an East Coast–inspired recipe Staba tinkered with over years on the road, the shop serves a classic Long Island–style cheese slice that Schechter calls “a really solid, simple, balanced cheese slice” — greasy enough to keep bringing you back without being overly filling. A distinctive hallmark here is that the sauce is spread on top of the cheese, so you get nice bursts of acidic tomato that balance the pie rather than it being just super cheesy or super saucy." - Dianne de Guzman
