Run by a New Jersey couple, this small place next to the river in Tahoe City serves 100 percent natural, hand-tossed New York-style thin-crust pizza as take-n'-bake, by the slice or by the pie. The Californian ($27, large) with artichokes and garlic and the Carnivore ($27, large) with a load of pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon and salami are some local favorites. The sauce is nice and spicy and everything can be washed down with a draft beer or soda. Also check out the Spicy Thai Chicken ($28, large) with sweet chili sauce, covered with grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella and onion then drizzled with peanut sauce and finished with a touch of cilantro is a nice surprise.
