The measure of a great pizza is made up of many different criteria. A great pizza will have silky smooth cheese that doesn’t run off the crust, nor does it stick to it like cement. The perfect slice shouldn’t be dripping in grease, leaving a reflective pool in its cardboard box. Finally, the best of all pizzas will be made with fresh and original ingredients that tickle your taste buds, the toppings don't run off the cheese, and are not smothered by it. In my quest to find the best pizza I have traveled far and wide, and have found my favorite pizza 6,239 miles away from Italy in Berkeley, California.Finding Cheeseboard Pizza is not difficult, just keep walking north on Shattuck until you see a huge mass of people standing in line or people eating pizza in the center divider; you have arrived at Pizza heaven. The concept is simple, “we only make one pizza.” At Cheeseboard, there are no choices, they make only one type of pizza per day, all day long. You can order as much as you want, but there are no substitutions. All pizzas are vegetarian, making Cheeseboard a great destination for every type of eater.At noon on a Saturday, the line stretched to the end of the block onto Vine St. Luckily, by only making one type of pizza, the line moves quickly. However, this pizza is worth nearly any wait. The best part about it is the crust. It’s soft and fluffy, but still supports the weight of the toppings. Its not so big that you feel like you’re eating bread, neither is it too thin and crunchy. Topped with fresh mozzarella cheese from the Cheeseboard next door, the ingredients that go into a Cheeseboard Pizza are by far the freshest and tastiest I’ve ever had.To live more like a local, be sure to take your pizza box and make a run for Shattuck’s center divider where you can find a nice grassy spot to enjoy your slice of heaven. Sit next to the flowers and watch all the envious people drive by while enjoying a sunny day in Berkeley.Pizzas at Cheeseboard typically run $20 for the entire pie, while individual slices can be purchased for $2.50.View more cheap restaurants in Berkeley, CA.Photo credit: flickr cc Keenduck
