On the quest for the perfect slice in honor of National Pizza Day tomorrow, Feb. 9? We’re here to share some of our favorite spots to frequent — it’s the yeast we could do.

This spot is home to the slice of pizza + a pint for $5 deal, offered all day long. Pro tip: We recommend trying out “The Yeti” which comes with Alfredo sauce, meatballs, roasted cherry tomatoes, ricotta, and a honey drizzle.
Goodfellas Pizzeria, 1208 King St.
Grab a slice of New York-style pizza and head downstairs to Wisely Lounge for a drink.

Community Pie, locations vary
