Our recent "3 Questions" subjects have included Megan Marrone, Kevin Rose, Phil Bronstein, and the founders of Yelp -- all pretty darned high-profile people. However, as compelling as we find those folks, our goal with the short-form interview was always to intersperse folks on the street; the folks you meet in your real life, who really are as interesting as, well, anybody.

A couple blocks south of where Lower Mervyns Heights butts heads with Upper Chopper City, Divisadero’s business-dominated stretch begins to take shape. There’s a little of everything on this block between McAllister and Fulton, from the throwback corner diner, to the auto body shop, to the bar whose front window announces a list of “rules” to be obeyed. There’s also the Muslim center and the tattoo parlor. Even the pair of pizza places on the east side of the street take divergent approaches. The block’s eclecticism doesn’t seem to bother anyone early on this Sunday evening. The pies at sit-down place Little Star Pizza (deep dish or thin crust – you choose) look to be as popular as any in town tonight, while down the sidewalk at quick-service Stelladoro, police officers and less-armed customers quickly nip in and out for cut-rate slices. A door or two away, at the corner of Divisadero and Fulton, the sticker-strewn counter at Eddie’s Café appears as if it’s been helping mitigate hangovers with omelets, bacon cheeseburgers, greens, and grits for decades.

Mondays are hard! We've scoured our inbox for invitations or event releases and came up empty handed. Hey, maybe we'll just go gorge ourselves at Little Star Pizza? Oh no, wait, they're closed, too! Damn you, Monday, for keeping us from drunkenness or gluttony! Damn you to hellllll!

Folks -- we want to encourage you to keep the questions coming. The best ones for us to answer are those with specific details. If questions don't hav enough detail, we are forced to simply snark (see question #1); if they are too open-ended, you'll see us blather on and on and on and on (see question #2).

Whether you are a Ralph Barbieri fan that enjoys Amici's, a Berkeley-ite that swears by Zachary's, a fan of Chesh's recent discovery Pizza Fiesta, or you, like friend/idol of SFist Pim, enjoy the pies at Pizzetta 211 (after all, they carry Blue Bottle Coffee, folks), we think many people in this town agree: good pizza is not very common in the Bay Area. That's pretty much the whole list right there.
