Food Scene
Sunnyside Pizza is definitely one of Fresno's little hidden gems. Perfect crust! Nice and crisp. Pizza doesn't fall apart when you try and get it out of the box. I would recommend this to anybody tired of the same old pizza places ran by chains.

As is typical in California Central Valley cities, a car is useful and often necessary to access most parts of town. There is a modest bus system, Fresno Area Express (FAX), but a car would be highly recommended. Traffic congestion in Fresno is not as bad as larger places in California, but Shaw and Herndon avenues can get crowded, especially since there is no east-west freeway through the north side. CA-99 runs along the west side of the city, becoming semi-rural before exiting Fresno County on the northwest side of Fresno. CA-41 runs down the middle of the city. Until the late 1990s and early 2000s these were the only freeways in Fresno, but a surge in growth has spurred the development of the CA-180 and CA-168 freeways.
In 2011, Fresno became the first town or city in the Central Valley to earn a Bronze Medal Designation from the League of American Bicyclists, recognizing Fresno as a bicycle friendly community. The city is in the process of further expanding its bike lanes in an effort to improve bike access. (Wikipedia).
