Blondie's and I have had so much history together! I remember back in the day when they were just a narrow, dark, dingy, stuffy little pizza shop in San Francisco, yet there were still lines out the door. My daddy's office was in downtown, so whenever he took me to work, it was always Blondie's for lunch! This was back in the day when my daddy had to cut up his slices into bite sized pieces for me to fork :) Now this particular Blondie's has expanded vertically and horizontally; vertically, it's twice the size that it used to be, and it has also acquired a downstairs area!

I've always been a fan of their cheese slice, but in recent years, I've gotten addicted to their veggie slice, which they've revamped a while back. Basically, it's a wheat crust pizza that's light on the cheese, but heavy on the veggies. As healthy as a real pizza can get! Okay... not really, but close enough.
Sometimes, when I feel extra gluttonous, I order two slices and eat them both in one sitting. Yes, I may look small, but I can eat. My friends keep telling me that I shouldn't eat anything larger than the size of my face (and a slice of Blondie's is definitely bigger than the size of my face), but I can't help it; it's so good! I mean, c'mon, with most of the food pyramid plopped in the pizza -- cheese, egg, vegetables, bread -- how can you possibly go wrong? Oh, and I always unscrew the top of the parmesan cheese dispenser ;)
I love their veggie deluxe salad as well. It's everything that I've ever wanted in a salad (well, except when I show up too late and they start running out of ingredients!). Garbanzo beans, red beans, beets, long strands of mozzarella, a generous chunk of avocado, and then some. My two favorite dressings are blue cheese and miso.
Their southern soul food joint downstairs in their San Francisco location is pretty good, too. They have homemade mac 'n cheese that can be good on certain days. Their cheese and garlic fries are yummy, and they have sweet potato and yucca fries as well.
Oh, and apparently, they serve froyo now. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I'll get back to that once I actually try it.
Stores and restaurants around the area have come and gone, but Blondie's has stood the test of time. Blondie's, stay awesome!

Have you ever had Zachary's in Berkeley and Oakland before? They've got the best stuffed pizza I've ever had! One inch thick of delicious crust, cheese, and huge chunks of their own, freshly marinated tomatoes *drool*
Pizza My Heart no longer serves deep dish? For shame!
