Video:

  • If you're not a connoisseur of 1970s adult film shot in the Bay Area, you may not be aware of the 1978 porn comedy Hot & Saucy Pizza Girls, starring Desiree Cousteau and John C. Holmes, which was shot in and around Oakland's Montclair neighborhood. Bay Area Nostalgia has a quaintly edited B-roll reel from the opening credits of the film, which gives us a glimpse of Montclair as it looked in the late 70s. We can't confirm if there really was a pizza parlor at the time called Country Girl Pizza, but it appears they did film in an actual pizza joint in Oakland or Berkeley.
