"Raymond’s Pizzeria, a Richmond pizza shop serving East Coast-inflected thin-crust pies and slices in the East Bay city’s quaint Point Richmond neighborhood. Open since July, the pizzeria is a joint venture with Nathan Trivers, who also owns the Up & Under Pub and Grill next door. In many ways, it has already established itself as the most ambitious pizza restaurant in Richmond, which has a host of modest, delivery-oriented pizzerias and old-school Italian restaurants that serve pizza — but not a lot of places that are touting their house-pickled peppers and lovingly slow-fermented pizza dough, as Raymond’s does." - Luke Tsai
