BOOT & SHOE SERVICE ***

This place was packed on a Saturday night but cleared up by around 8, I guess folks in Oakland eat early.  Excellent pizza - Margherita buffala w/ calabrian peppers.  A NY Neapolitan style, thin, soft and chewy crust with some char and light crispness on the edges, not soggy in the center.  Delicious bright tomato sauce a drizzle of oil on top would've have made it perfect.  J&A love the clam pizza.
