Hella Pie Pizza

I eat pizza almost everywhere I travel, and I’ve heard about this pizza for a while and keep forgetting to go when in Tracy. So happy I finally stopped in for some pie. Absolutely amazing pizza. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a better pizza. It’s that great. Ordered the Sicilian deep dish square pepperoni pizza, New York style round pepperoni pizza, New York style combo with pepperoni, sausage, onion & mushroom (it comes with olive & jalapeño, but I had them hold on those two, since I’m not a fan). It was gonna take 20-30 minutes, so I ordered a slice of CBR (chicken, bacon, ranch) while I waited. The CBR was the best chicken style pizza I’ve had anywhere. Perfect cook, great toppings, and the crust was delicious. -The Sicilian pepperoni was the also best deep dish pizza I’ve had period. The crust had some good crunch on the bottom, but the rest of the pizza was soft and well cooked. -The New York style pepperoni was amazing as well. I put it up there with any great thin pizza I’ve ever had. A bit greasy, but there’s a lot of pep, so it’s expected. -The combination pizza was also perfectly cooked and the fresh ingredients and very noticeable. I can’t even convey how great this pizza is. I’ve seriously been to hundreds of places that all have great ratings and are all supposed to be the best. I put Hella Pie in my top two or three easily, even above NY & east coast pizzerias, or Chicago, or Detroit or wherever. The staff was very kind, patient and helpful as this is my first visit. Place seemed clean, as there’s just a lobby and two small tables out front, so it’s basically all pizzas to go. They were very busy for 1pm on a weekday, so I was kinda surprised to get my pizza so quick. Nice little downtown area with all kinds of shops.
