"If you’re not already a regular at Hail Mary Pizza, you’ll feel like one before you even order. Because within a few seconds of walking in, the chef will greet you, tell you what special pie he’s making, and probably launch into a story about his recent motorcycle trip to the coast. This place feels like the quintessential neighborhood pizza spot: The friendly chef, the massive chalkboard menu, the possibility that they’ll send you home with a loaf of sourdough at the end of the night. You can’t go wrong with any of the pies, but our favorites are the Lord Cheesus, with six kinds of cheese, and the chorizo, honey, and pepperoncini-covered Pep Pep." - brett keating
