I finally made it back on a Saturday afternoon, and luckily, there was barely a wait! I ordered their famous Artichoke Pizza, and it definitely lives up to the hype. It's rich, flavorful, and they heat your slice back up right before serving, so it comes out piping hot. The only minor downside is that it's a bit oily (I had to use a few napkins to pat it down) but the flavor makes up for it. The setup is a quick grab-and-go counter service with some patio seating and standing tables outside. Since it's right on the corner of a main street, you're looking at street parking only, which I imagine can get pretty tough when the area is busy.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and an experience we truly enjoyed. We'll definitely be back!

Brief Summary: - Close to the Downtown Berkeley BART station…read more- Indoor and outdoor seating available - Right next to it there is a shop where you can purchase slices and ingredients Lately, this is the family's favorite pizza place. The first time we tried this was a few years ago, and one of my family members wanted to try a new place to eat pizza and had been exploring one almost once a month cadence. Then we tried here, and we were amazed and became our favorite. One of the reasons why we like going here more often than the other restaurants, the food of course, but the comfortable restaurant atmosphere. Still to this day we chose to walk-in and test our luck than take a reservation, and so far we were able to get a seat. In the most recent visit, there was a university game, so there was a longer wait time. The good thing about waiting was there were dedicated seats to wait, or in the first few minutes we hung out in the shop next door. Here, visitors can choose to buy and take home a slice instead of dining in, order food or shop for ingredients. The pizzas we've eaten so far are the Sicily style and this one has a lovely texture. Its appearance is like pillows. It's lightly-crispy on the edges, even the under-layer. It holds the pizza toppings without bending. We also tried a pizza named the most thinnest pizza, and we loved this one too. This one was located under the Speciality menu, so this didn't have topping customization. We loved that while it was very thin it still held the toppings too. I also love stracciatella cheese, so I also tasted the milkiness while eating this slice. We've also loved the pasta and have been trying a new menu each time. The one we tried recently had a fun texture, like a gentle crunch, and the pesto sauce was easy to eat, didn't get heavy in the end of the meal. I also tried a salad that was being served to most of the tables on this particular evening; a bowl of purple leafs, purple onions, and beets. The chicory leaf had a subtle bitterness to it, but with the sweet beet, it balanced it out. I also love goat cheese, and it was creamy. Wrapping up the review, it gave me a soft joy when the staff recognized and greeted us. The staff were kind and attentive since our first visit,, so his was another part that we liked during our eating experience. We'll definitely visit again when we're craving pizza.

One of many awards that reflect Chef Laura Meyer's passion for the craft.

I tried their pie for the first time, sharing a She Wolf pizza and spicy Caesar between our party of two. They strictly serve 14 inch thin crust pies, which is a decent amount of food split between 2, if you supplement with a starter course. The She Wolf, littered with olives and garlic confit, is sublime, and the dollops of burrata thoughtfully portioned on every slice make a rich, excellent contrast to the tangy sauce underneath. I'd imagine Portnoy being likely pleased with the undercarriage, which was stiff enough to not forfeit any of its structural integrity nor toppings to the almost-inevitable flop. The spicy Caesar is a damn good Caesar and not over nor under dressed. Next time, I'd add some anchovies. In Carrie Bradshaw fashion, I also indulged in a chilled red with my pizza this afternoon while people watching on their adorable patio. Is there really a better lunch to be had?

Interior, that might need some touch up.

Ive been coming here since i was 7. Used to have a pretty good relationship with the owners daughter who frequented my shop. They used to even deliver to my temple for religious school at temple Beth El. have had countless friends work here has always come highly recommended by me, especially when east coasters say cali has shit pizza.....but i mean goddamn this place really needs some help. The cashier was rude as fuck and just an all around piece of shit from yelling over us when we are just simply trying to place an order saying that 90% of people order cheese and less toppings is better.... Then when i was placing an order for my girl friend, myself and a friend he cuts me off to say "CAN ONLY ONE PERSON ORDER" which i was. I ordered 3 slices for my friend and girlfriend. Then i guess he was offended we didnt want a receipt so he decides that it was a good idea to throw it at us....we let even that slide since i guess the recycling was close to us but then when he pulls our cold as slices of pizza out to serve he decides to slam them down on the counter missing the parchment paper and getting oil all over his dirty counter. Even after all this im trying to give this piece of gutter waste the benefit of the doubt and right it off as him having a bad day....keep in mind theres only 2 people in the whole little room and we are eating at the bar thats meant for eating minding our own business when a couple of students walk in walk right past us and get in line. The cashier felt the need to say that "we are in the way and to get the fuck out of the way and to pick one side or the other" When i ask him what he means because we are literally standing at the bar where you are supposed to stand and eat your pizza he then tries to escalate his shit show by asking me "if theres a problem.....?" When i replied by saying " I dunno im trying to figure it out do you have a problem?" I guess he didnt feel like going to sleep because at that point he just wanted to stare at me as if he isnt being some piece of shit. As some one who has had to work in customer service you have to realize people can get what they want in several different places. What makes customers keep coming back is good service along with a good product. After being a go to dare i say the face of Berkeley pizza over the last 30+ years you'd think you'd respect your business more then to have some strung out junky behind the bar taking out his emotions on customers cause he hates his life.....sad i wont be coming back or recommending to anyone ever again. Tighten up, get your shit together and fire that junky! Boy needs jesus and rehab read more

WORST PLACE EVER. DO NOT GO HERE. I got so mad at the service and the disgusting food I made this Yelp account so I could tell people how this place really is. I've never been this disgusted with a place before. First of all, as we were walking in three loser douches were walking out to have what was probably their 20th smoke break. One slinks back in, and we (my friend and I) order 6 slices. The greasy, cracked-out shit-for-brains behind the counter mutters some nonsense about how there is a five-slice limit. We ask why and he says because he needs to make sure he has enough to sell. Ok, so either this guy is the biggest idiot alive, as we are paying customers and willing to buy more of the pizza he needs to sell, or there is something else going on (Sexist? Racist?). So then I say I will buy five slices, and my friend will buy one. As his brain slowly begins to process this earthshattering idea, he actually puts his hands up and starts waving them around while he utters some nonsense words. After a while, he says there is a five-slice limit per group. Really? So if 10 friends came in, they would all have to share 5 slices? He then quickly offers to make us a large pizza, which he says is $24.99. So there are about 8 slices on a cheese pizza, at 2.75 each, so $22.00. Why should we pay $3 more for the same thing? Because my friend and I had driven quite a way to get pizza from there, we just ordered the five slices and went home. The pizza was cold, the cheese as stiff as a board, and as tasteless as cardboard. Obviously something was going on behind the "5 slice limit" bullshit. I don't know if they were trying to make money by attempting to shovel a pricier full pizza, if they are racist or sexist, or if they are just imbeciles. Whatever the reason, I am never coming here again, and I'm advising everyone I know to avoid this place like the plague. read more

I would give this place O stars for the simple fact that it is without question the filthiest "restaurant" in the bay area. I've witnessed various employees handle money one moment and then food the next, without washing their hands. Couple that with the fact that the "workers" don't clean the "dining area", and so it is an ocean of napkins, crusts, parmasan, and whatever else happens to fall out of the mouths of previous patrons. And if it seems like I should be a bit more gentle, I would reply that I would be if I was ever treated like a customer by any of the "workers" who "work" here. One more thing....I walk by this place often when it has already closed.....is it typical "restaurant" procedure to leave the trash can on the "dining table" all night, every night? This is a "restaurant" for sewer rats. read more

Yeah, so now we're getting somewhere. Hey, I've got a lot of reviews to slam home so bear with me while I talk about the places I've been since I moved here a few months ago. Arinell is a weird place but it almost reminds me of home in NY. Just a little hole in the wall but the slices are decent. I can do without the ear splitting punk rock and the attitude but then I don't go for the atmosphere, just the quick slice and soda. I can see by the reviews that many of you think this is the best pizza in town, but I don't agree. Yeah, it's pretty good, but don't get so excited. Places like Gioia, Bobby G's, and Pie in the Sky tend to make a better pie than Arinell...but I'll get to those reviews later. read more

My only real complaint is that the tables closest to the street sit noticeably on a slant, making it a bit of a challenge to keep plates and glasses from slowly sliding downhill throughout the meal. A small detail, but worth noting. That said, the staff were genuinely lovely and welcoming, and the overall experience was exactly what I was hoping for. One final recommendation: do yourself a favor and ask for a side of olive oil for dipping the crusts. It's the perfect finishing touch. I'll absolutely be back the next time the craving strikes.

I came here for dinner on a Weds night. For two people, we ordered a pizza, some drinks and a…read moreseasonal lemon pasta. The crust on the pizza was a little thick but had a good chew. There was too much sauce on the pizza, which made the pizza very wet in the center and difficult to pick up. The flavor on the pizza was good but felt like it wasn't baked well. We also ordered the lemon pasta, which I do not recommend. There was crisped up breadcrumbs in the dish, that was meant to add crunch to the dish, but the texture ended up resembling crushed eggshells when chewed in the mouth, and it lacked lots of flavor. I would definitely not order their food to go, as I don't think it would travel well. I don't think I would return to benchmark if I had a pizza craving.
