Pete, there's a good pizza joint, small family run. Popular though.

Check wagjag.com, teambuy.ca and groupon for some great deals on NF accommodations, sometimes with winery tours thrown in.
On the US side of NF I love Sammy's Pizza.

What's the long weekend for you? doubtful that I can drive down but if possible would love to try, I'm less than 2 hours away.
