It's important to find a reliable neighborhood pizzeria you can call on those nights when you're just too tired to cook, and for many Petaluma locals, Rafy's Pizzeria is that place. The menu here includes all the standard pizzeria items you'd expect, like cheese and pepperoni pies, garlic knots, and a handful of classic pasta dishes, but this place also serves up a few specialty items that you'll have a hard time finding anywhere else.

The next time you're craving something zesty, why not order the "Mr. Green" pizza, spread with jalapeno pesto, sundried tomatoes, and roasted garlic? Alternatively, you might go for the "California Veggie" pie, piled high with roasted tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms. You can even order one of Rafy's signature giant-sized stromboli, which are the size of a full pizza and measure 18 inches long after being rolled. Regulars say this is a good choice for feeding a crowd!
