    Donut holes served fresh Pizza served warm Donuts constantly changing Seating limited & Disco music and lights. What else can you ask for?

    Donut case
    Starr A.

    A club vibe with a rocking, though non traditional, banh mi. There is electronic and house music playing, a laser light show in the ceiling, and the locals are friendly. The donuts are fresh and wonderful. The banh mi is really superb. They call it an Asian sandwich. The pizza is good, the sauce is super mild. I'd recommend this after a night of drinking. Otherwise it could be more herbed. But it's a solid choice for the price. And this place is open til 2am. We went at midnight and all the food was fresh.

    Service was amazing fast I had the raspberry cream cheese danish along with the spicy chicken pizza spicy chicken pieces actually hot and spicy and good and the cream cheese sandwich is so moist and delicious. It's awesome. Definitely gotta try it out. It's a small little shop but perfect.

    I thought I was biting raspberry seeds several times while eating a raspberry donut. Then I found a piece of small gauge metal in my mouth. Not sure how many of these ended up in gut. Hopefully, none. Thanks Don

    Donuts and SE Asian sandwiches have been on point for the over 20 years I've been coming here!

    "Hey, man. Arcata, man. It's like... Arcata, man." Ne'er have truer words been spoketh to me, from a sweet spirit in the central square of Arcata, just a half-block away from Don's Donuts. Arcata is one of those quintessential NorCal coast towns with an eclectic mix of charm, history, and quirkiness. The counterculture influence here is noteworthy, and sadly, there are quite a few folks just hanging out in the streets and public spaces with an aura of years of bad decisions and/or luck. They're as much a part of the landscape here as the colorful shops and small modest homes that line the streets of the town. Just off the main square is Don's Donuts and Pizza, a 24-hour deli/bakery with that special Arcata panache. On our last visit, there was a grungy looking fellow sitting on the ground outside the door, blasting clouds of blue sativa smoke into the narrow street. Didn't ask for a thing, and just met my smile and nod with a similar smile and nod. Not all who wander are lost. Man. As for Don's, it was the usual awesome donuts and awesome service. We ordered up a tall dozen-plus of our favorites, slipped the man a twenty, and headed for the door. No indoor seating with COVID rules, but no matter-- the park was brisk, cold, and lively with locals. When one started chasing a car yelling something about giant seagulls and threatening to kick everyone's... donkeys... in the next minute, we wrapped things up and headed back to the truck. Arcata, man. We don't miss the opportunity to hit Don's when we're traversing the north coast. We'll see you next time, friends.

    A berry danish and an old fashioned chocolate donut with rainbow sprinkles

    Don's is a reliable, round-the-clock Arcata staple. The donuts and pizza are consistently delicious and the menu offers an incredible amount of variety. This is a true hole-in-the-wall establishment as you'll come across all walks of life while here - and it's part of what makes Don's such a fascinating place to visit. The seating area is very limited, especially as the twilight and late night/early morning hours approach. Don's isn't nearly as busy during the day as it is at night. I've always been impressed with how quickly the staff is able to get orders out even when it's incredibly packed. The food service here is a well-oiled machine. While it's possible that you'll have a drunken encounter with a patron or transient or be asked for money, if you're used to this area, that sort of thing is not atypical. You can always order your food to-go. Other than that, Don's is out here 24/7 doing this community a solid after almost every other Arcata eatery shutters its doors for the night.

    I cannot rate this place. We couldn't dine here. First, the…read moreone handicapped parking stall was blocked by the restaurants dumpster. We managed to nose our truck into the stall with a bit less room and walked around to the front entrance. Our disabled son has a service dog. She happens to be a standard Poodle that is clearly tagged, working-dog vested in hi-viz optic yellow with 'Service Dog' patches clearly worn and tethered to our son with a matching hi-viz short traffic lead. Imagine our surprise when walking into the restaurant we were told by the woman at the register that the dog was not allowed inside. We would have to put the dog outside on a hook. We politely countered, gesturing to the dog and explaining that as a service dog, she was legally allowed inside, to which the woman again stated that the dog would have to remain outside. On a hook... We chose rather than continue to waste time trying to get a seat or even place an order, to simply leave. We would spend our money elsewhere. FYI: California Vehicle Code - VEH § 22507.8 states that it is unlawful to block the access or use of the handicapped parking like that: https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/vehicle-code/veh-sect-22507-8/ And the ADA has clear direction about service animals and their permitted access in a restaurant setting: https://www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-2010-requirements/ These are very real legal issues. And we feel that the staff member made a choice to discriminate against us. Rather than raise a complaint with Humboldt County, we just won't return to this place, nor will we recommend eating here.

Definitely not great but not terrible. Overall very underwhelming, I'd prefer dominos for 1/3 the price, and definitely most other chains at the same price. Next day reheating via microwave after refrigeration; bread/dough was soggy, everything tasted similarly underwhelming but a bit more so.

It's…read morewell-staffed, the presentation of the pies is decent enough, and there's a rotating menu that changes each day. I tried the La Bruchetta slice and a more generic pepperoni slice. Their pepperoni was greasy, but not overwhelming, though it was pretty densely salted which off set the flavor profile of their sauce. I wouldn't say it was spectacular, though their La Bruchetta was exemplary. The sauce was flavorful, the crust had integrity, and it had a manageable amount of grease. The cheese was thin, as was the crust, but this is what you'd expect if a pizza joint that styles itself after New York. The ambience is typical of a dedicated pizza joint; the seating is a bit plain, not much going on in terms of music, but it's carried by other patrons and their interesting conversations. The staff is polite enough, but you can tell they get overwhelmed by all the patronage they receive, so don't expect to make small talk. Overall, it's a middle of the road experience. The flavors are good, for their specialty pizzas anyway, and the culture surrounding the restaurant is exceptional for a Cali pizza place. Very good for a relatively small college town in the Pacific Northwest. I'd recommend going at least once.

They do catering too..i looked it up on FB or Instagram and was amazed at how many other things he makes and how delicious it also looked. I'd give 6 stars if that was an option and they had some oregano or other herbs on the side to put on pizza if we like ...pizza places in general used to do that and haven't seen it anywhere. Oregano is easy to grow. Some might find it pricy for the lightness of the pizza so if you need a hearty meal their pizza might not do it for you. I have only had their pizza at the farmers market and it tastes so good i have to use will power not to eat the whole thing . I save half for the next day and sometimes add an egg on it for breakfast. Reheating in cast iron pan brings the crust back to life and I don't put it in the frig overnight to also keep the crust good and i turn the pizza upside down so crust not soggy but with his pizza no much chance of that cause he does some sort of dough magic that makes his crust hold and not soak up the toppings.
