Punk pioneer Henry Rollins perhaps said it best: “Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.”
Rollins has every reason to be optimistic, especially this week, as the North Bay’s annual observation of Pizza Week returns with 26 pie-making participants in the tri-county area alone.
From Wednesday, April 22 through Sunday, May 3, the region pauses for pizza. And thanks to a minor miracle of chronometry, the week is 12 days long. You’re right, Rollins; anything is possible.
For North Bay fans, Bay Area Pizza Week turns Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties into one sprawling tasting trail—waterfront patios, old-school pizzarias, artisan obsessives, cocktail bars dabbling in dough and family institutions that have fed generations.
Below is a county-by-county roundup of currently listed and regionally promoted North Bay participants, alphabetized and organized for your ease. Consider it a roadmap to a Nirvana by way of Old Napoli, and visit their individual sites for special offers.

Slice Advice
Our recommendation—divide and conquer. Marin for views, Napa for refinement, Sonoma for depth of bench. Order one classic pie and one reckless one. Take notes if that helps justify the behavior. And remember, there are worse ways to spend late spring than driving around the North Bay in pursuit of pizza.
