Are you pining for pepperoni? Pizza is a food proven to please, but if you've wondered where in Stockton to find that perfect pie, don't worry: we've got you covered.
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top pizza hot spots in Stockton, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to fill the bill.
1. VIPizza
Topping the list is VIPizza. Located at 3499 Brookside Road, Suite D in Brookside, the spot to score pizza and more is the highest rated pizza spot in Stockton, boasting four stars out of 77 reviews on Yelp.
Yelpers recommend the sourdough crusts and the signature VIP Special, with green olives and pepperoncinis as well as salami, ham, Italian sausage and mushrooms. The parlor delivers, but if you dine in-house, Pabst Blue Ribbon draft pints are just $2.75.
2. Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza
Next up is the local outpost of national chain Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza, situated at 4950 Pacific Ave. in the Weberstown Mall. With four stars out of 70 reviews on Yelp, the fast-casual pizza and salad stop has proven to be a favorite with reviewers.
The customizable personal-size pies take only minutes to cook, and gluten-free dough is available. But plan your visit carefully: at rush hours, the spot can get busy.
3. Express Pizza & Grill
Over in Waterloo, check out Express Pizza & Grill, which has earned four stars out of 10 reviews on Yelp. You can find the traditional American spot, which offers pizza and more, at 2109 E. Fremont St.
Yelpers praise the affordable prices, generous sizes and the pizzeria's willingness to make take-and-bake pizzas for customers who want to cook them later.
