I am sure that 2 ways to agree with this sentence are:

*So do I .....and
*I do, too.

what about "me, too" when can we use it?

Strictly speaking, "me too" is grammatically incorrect, even though it's very, very common and nobody would question its use in conversation.

A sentence must have a subject and a verb. "Me too" has neither. The word "me" is an objective pronoun, as opposed to a subjective (or nominative) one. For example, "give it to me" is a proper use of "me."

"I" is the proper pronoun to use in this case. Proper grammar would be:

I do, too. (comma optional)
I do as well.
So do I.

If responding in agreement to a negative assertion, e.g. "I don't like pizza.":

I do not either. (or don't)
Neither do I.
Nor do I. (If you are not the first person agreeing with the speaker.)

If responding negatively to a positive assertion:

I do not. (or don't)

If you wish to use "me," you can restructure your sentence to use the word objectively, i.e. "it" becomes the subject, and "me" is the object:

It is the same with/for me.
It is not the same with/for me.

"Me too" is not technically a complete sentence, but in casual conversation I would consider it acceptable. If someone said they did not like anchovies and you wanted to state that you agree, be sure you say "Me either" and NOT "Me neither".

EDIT:
Oops, I stand corrected by mynumberis15. Ouch! I was an A+ student in English in high school, many moons ago. I learned something new today. Thank you for setting me straight! I admit to being a bit stubborn, so I did a search and found the following link:

What mombat said at the end is wrong. You are not talking about if you agree about liking anchovies or not, you are talking about if you like anchovies. I don´t like anchovies. (don´t is negative, like is positive) Me neither (neither is a negative) Make sure you get your negative and positive words right, but yes you can say all three of those phrases:)

me too can be used, but it is more of a slang version than anything. If you are trying to use proper grammar, try, I like pizza also.

Me, too

It is also perfectly respectable for another way to agree with the statement.

'So do I' and 'I do, too' are grammatically correct. 'Me too' is so well established these days that it's OK - certainly in England.

It's interesting that the correct French is 'Moi aussi' = 'Me too' - you'd expect the French to be more pedantic and insist on a nominative pronoun, like the Spanish 'Yo también' = I too.

"Me, too" can be used in the same way, but it's more casual language.
