This place was very comfy and cozy and felt like home. The casual decor just lended itself to comfort. I liked the picnic table/bench style seating, which further enhanced the casual ambience of the place. The staff was extremely nice and personable and immediately greeted us as we walked in the door. They took our orders and brought the pizza out relatively quickly. It was piping hot, and there was no shortage of toppings! We ordered a large pizza with half Arden Park Pleaser, (with Pesto sauce, chicken, spinach, feta cheese, tomatoes, and yellow onions) and half ​Steve O' Supreme O' (BBQ sauce, chicken, pineapple, green bell peppers, yellow onion, and green chilies) Everything tasted really fresh and the crust had a nice crunch, despite all the toppings and CHEESE they piled on. I wish the chicken had more flavor but the rest of the toppings worked together really well and the sauce was balanced and really good. Will definitely have to come and try them again! read more

Wenelli's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

Wenelli's is our go-to for take home pizza. If the wait is long enough, I'll enjoy a beer while the pizza is baked. Katie prefers a salami and mushroom, while I always order a Hawaiian. Today's draft is a Taco Truck lager. Best get home while these are hot! read more

We were greeted warmly and energetically when we entered. The pizza making station is right near the entrance so you smell the quality of the ingredients immediately. The seating was casual almost reminiscent of the dining hall at a campsite. The walls were adorned and allowed easy viewing of more than one popular sport. The options frequently featured feta cheese which is usually too salty for me. I was pleasantly surprised by how carefully it was added to the others cheeses to create a unique salty creamy flavor. The toppings were rich and tasted homemade. The experience felt more like the living room of a trusted family friend. read more

You guys, this pizza joint is delicious! Forget the big brands when it comes to pizza, look no further and check out Wenelli's Pizza for delicious bites and beer.

I like how generous the portions are when it comes to eating here. This is a great place to dine in because of the cool atmosphere. You cannot go wrong either by calling in to pick up! Definitely check out Wenelli's Pizza! It's so good! read more

My partner is a lifelong Sacramento resident and swore by Wenelli's, so of course I had to give this joint a try. I actually really enjoyed this place though I personally think I would have enjoyed it more if I stayed for a drink and game at the bar. It's got a lovely hometown atmosphere, and excellent service inside. They've got a great menu selection and- of course- delicious pizza too! I did notice they cut quite a few slices into the pizza. At first I was kinda confused, but because the pizza is so cheesy, I was rolling with it. Do not fear- it is a cheesy slice, but the fresh toppings, the crust, and the great portions at a reasonable price make it a great experience. I can see why the locals love Wenelli's, and I will be coming back here to enjoy a slice (hopefully at the bar this time!). 5/5! read more

A good neighborhood spot for pizza in the Arden Arcade area. When you step in the door you really are transported back in time to the pizza parlors of yore. And the pizza reflects that too - old-school pizza with traditional ingredients and toppings. Heads up that their delivery times don't necessarily line up with their operating hours, but it's also perfectly fun to drive there for takeout and have a beer at the bar while you wait. read more

Great pizza. Perfect old school pizza place with a nice crisp crust and great flavorful quality toppings. They also have great menu pizzas so you don't have to make your own. I had TJ garlic and my son had the all meat minus salami. Both really really good. This is by far the best local spot without having to drive too far. Our new neighborhood favorite. read more

The pizza and customer service was on point. The pizza took over 40 minutes to come out (so it's not a place to go to if you're starving -- like we were), but in the end it was worth the wait. The pizza was excellent. There is a big playhouse for kids right underneath the TV so it's definitely a good place to take families, despite the space not being the largest. Their cash register machine is old school though, so an issue that we had was that we had to tell the cashier to add a tip to the card (after we had already ran our card the first time). So... it's best to bring cash for a tip! Can't wait to return! read more

Wenelli's has a great atmosphere that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, and the place has a welcoming, cozy vibe. I ordered a combo pizza for takeout, and it did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and generous, and every bite was packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality in every slice. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, this is easily one of the best pizza spots in Sacramento. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Wenelli's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

Enjoyed a small delicious brick oven baked combination pizza at Wenelli's Pizza at 4215 Arden Way in Sacramento. This business establishment was like stepping into a time capsule from when I was a child back in 1985. I used to stop by this place to play video games back when I was going to elementary screwl. Super Mario Bros, Elevator Action, Star Wars, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Choplifter, Spy Hunter, Conmando, and Gauntlet are the games that were there years ago. It used to be a Round Table Pizza then it became AD PIZZA +?. Then Wenelli's Pizza has been there since 1992. Still great pizza ambiance with sports viewing on 2 big flat screen tvs. Pizza is brilliant!! read more

Wenelli's Pizza - Small Combination pizza at Wenelli's. Well worth the wait ! - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

Polite pass on another meal here. Food was super disappointing and overpriced. Customer service was incredibly odd- they tried...but not hard. Also couldn't order a side salad so that was weird. The 5 people before me could. I like the nostalgia the place has but I think the decorations are from the same era as the last time the place was dusted. read more

Very reminiscent of Round Table atmosphere from back in the day. It's a small joint, with bench seating and small tables. There is a tv that was playing live sports. The pizza was outstanding. We got the one with bacon, tomato, garlic, and white sauce. Would definitely order again--the crust was also phenomenal! read more

Best pizza in Sac! Special orders are no problem & everyone who works there greets you like a good neighbor. At least 1 of the 2 women who own the place are usually working the register. They've been keeping Arden pizza lovers satisfied for over 30 years. read more

Food is great! Relaxing atmosphere, but it can get loud after ball games. We usually order the large vegetarian regular crust without olives, peppers or pepperoni, but with Italian sausage, and split a salad. read more

We called in an order for delivery. They estimated an hour and 15 minutes for delivery, but were there within an hour! I got a pizza and my husband got a calzone; both were delicious. I would definitely order from them again. They sounded busy when we called, with lots of background noise. read more

This was a surprise for us as Wenellis is always great. The pepperoni pizza was pitiful and they charge 14.99 for a personal pizza. My daughter can't do sauce.. had I known that I would have ordered a small for a few bucks more but no one mentioned when we ordered over the phone. Order was close to 75$.. was really not worth it :( read more

Tonight we ordered a pizza the same as always, unfortunately the pizza was overcooked. I wasn't too happy. So I called and spoke to an employee. I spoke to him about my dissatisfaction and to my surprise, he was very apologetic and he was very sincere about it. That's something that's not very common these days at all. I've recommended Wenelli's to many friends over the last several months, and I will continue to do so because the superior (and I do mean superior) service this establishment has provided. Great job folks. read more

Best pizza in town and the nicest people! Everything is fresh, and the crust is just incredible. Can't recommend them enough.

Pizza is very, very good. Service is always quick and the ranch is heaven. One of the best pizza's in Sacramento, certainly in the Arden-Arcade area! read more

I've tried this place numerous times and have had a few good experiences but I shall not give it another chance after lunch there today. The dough is great if you like a thick heavy dough similar to dumplings, but...... They are very skimpy on sauce ( virtually non-existent) and very skimpy on toppings- especially pepperoni. The pizza is way over priced for what you get and mediocre at best. A slice of pizza across the street at whole foods will cost you a fraction of the price and is much more substantial. Seems like they are putting profit margins over customer satisfaction. It's a shame because supporting local places is the right thing to do. But no more Wenelli's for this dissatisfied customer. read more

Have enjoyed your pizza many times but you need to get a delivery person or do not post on your website that you have delivery! If you DO get a delivery person, you need to post the delivery charge on your website! Unfortunately you're losing business read more

I love this place so much but the no use of hair nets nor gloves really freaks me out I've never had a bad experience but I feel like they for sure need to up their health code game ... read more

Recently rediscovered this gem in Arden-Arcade and I'm so glad I did. Amazing pizza! Amazing staff! Amazing little location that rockets you back to the days of local restaurants being pillars of the community. You gotta grab a slice! read more

Founded in 1992 and a popular spot for families and local pizza lovers. The pizzas are prepared the old fashioned way - in a traditional brick pizza oven - to give them the best taste and texture. The sourdough crust will be crisp and delicious. Wenelli's serves a good variety of pizzas, stone oven-baked sandwiches and calzones, homemade hamburgers, fresh salads and offers a nice variety of beers and wines. Their tasty appetizers include breadsticks, stuffed mushrooms, potato skins, hot wings, garlic cheese bread and pesto cheese bread. ​Featured Pizzas: Combination, All Meat, Vegetarian, Green Chillies, Louisiana Hot Sausage Small ($13.32) Medium ($19.89) Large ($23.99) Gourmet Pizzas: Evelyn's Delight, Pete's Special, Arden Park Pleaser, Steve O' Supreme O', Garlic of the Gods, T.J. Garlic, Erick's Homerun, Smoky Oaks Small ($13.62) Medium ($20.69) Large ($24.99) Toppings: Pesto Sauce Garlic White Sauce Chipotle Pesto Sauce Herb Seasoning Anchovies Artichokes Basil BBQ Sauce Beef Bell Peppers Black Olives Chicken Garlic ​Green Chiles Ham Jalapeño Peppers Linguiça Mushrooms Pastrami Pepperoni Pineapple Red Onion ​Yellow Onions Salami Sausage, Italian Sausage, LA Hot Spinach Tomatoes Lunch Specials (Daily from 11am-4pm) include among the following: Two-topping Personal Pizza with a soft drink ($7.50) Cheeseburger with your choice of chips or potato salad and soft drink ($8.00) Pizza Sandwich with your choice of chips or potato salad and soft drink ($8.00) I am a bit curious and a little disappointed they changed the recipe for their pizza crust. At one point, I might have suggested that Wenelli's could boast of making the lightest and chewiest pizza crust in town. They still make a pretty good Neapolitan style pizza. Just expect a longer than the usual wait time with your order. read more

Crust was horrible. Frozen and undercooked. Was the texture of a hockey puck. I'm disappointed bc it was our first time trying and had high expectations. I love to support a mom and pop but it just wasn't good :/ read more

They never have a delivery person. 3rd strike your out. FYI most pizza places deliver and evertime I call your place after 5 there is no one that can deliver. Get it together. read more

We picked up a pizza from here expecting great crust. Especially since the slogan on the box is "Eat My Crust" however once we opened up the box at home to eat, grabbed a slice and instantly knew it was going to be bad. It was burnt. I'm not talking slightly overcooked, I'm talking the kind where the crust is so hard you can snap it in two. Flipped it over and it was charred. And no, it wasn't a lighter shade of brown charred. It was burnt. Sad because I've tried it before at a work luncheon so I knew to expect great crust. Sadly this wasn't it. Wasted $32. read more

Good food, neighborhood business. Nice people. Support them with your business. The salad is really good! So's pizza, of course!

Three stars because I'm reminiscing about how good they used to be. I used to come here regularly 7-8 years ago and would rave about how they were so good. Times have changed because it hasn't been the same and I find myself preferring to make my own pizzas from scratch. Quality of the pizzas and customer service isn't what it used to be. I'm sure it's still better than chain pizza spots if you're craving pizza (coming from a person that refuses to eat from chain pizza spots ). Regardless of my thoughts, it doesn't hurt to give this spot a try to support a small biz in our local community. read more

Pizzas, amazing, smalltowntown old-school vibe. Classic old oven Bordered by old paneling... you can order thin, medium or regular crust thicknesses, but if you go man, just chill out... relax, they have beer.... IPAs cider and wine... read more

Great pizza! Delicious dough and toppings. Cant forget the house made ranch. All of the pizza are great but my top 3 are: 1) Rollin' Smoke BBQ Pizza (Ask Rollin) 2) T.J. Garlic Pizza 3) Smoky Oaks Pizza read more

Unbelievable pizza! Hands down the best crust in all of Sacramento. The Pete's Special is my favorite pizza!

Best family owned pizza ever imagined. We drive a long way to eat this pizza. The owners are wonderful and pizza is amazing.

Wenelli's Pizza is one of the most amazing pizza places in all of Sacramento. The pizzas and other food is so delicious!! The owners and staff are so nice and personable! The atmosphere is absolutely incredible and very welcoming!! I highly recommend going to Wenelli's Pizza!! read more

I ended up here for the first time on a Monday evening because the pub next door was closed. So my friend and I decided to try their pizza I have heard so much about. This is a local, family owned business, which I always like to support. It is nothing special to look at on the inside, a bit dated and not really meant for atmosphere. But we found a good table for two, and it was comfy for just hanging out and having pizze & beer. We sat down and after waiting a good while, I was not sure if we were supposed to order at the counter (that is literally a few feet away). So I went to the counter, and they were friendly enough. You pay when you order. We ordered a medium Pete's Delight and an small pitcher of beer, which came to about $35. Beer comes with chilled mugs, a bonus! I really liked the pizza crust and the fresh toppings. I eat pretty spicy, so the pizza itself was a bit bland to me, but nothing a few pepper flakes could not fix. Did I say I liked the crust? In the land of thick and squishy crust, this European appreciates a crispy, fairly thin crust! I will definitely be coming back for pizza. Not sure if we will make it one our weekly happy-hour-friend-beer destinations. The TV was blaring, and that is one of my pet peeves. Staff is friendly, plus a hearty THANK YOU when you leave is rare. Sorry, we were so hungry no one thought of taking a photo of the pizza. It was pretty, just take my word for it this time :). read more

The food was mediocre not worth the money charged. The ambiance was off and not welcoming. they have two video games that arcade style in the corner. I tried to play one for $.50 for it not to work, but the owner still has them there available so they can make money off of them because they needed it so badly. And usually I wouldn't come off as a dick, but we already paid for all of our order before we left to run to Whole Foods across the street because it took 25 minutes to make our pizza. To come back 30 minutes later and it not be ready and they tried to recharge us. Even though the owner was there in the building the whole time even when we walked in and I told them I would be right back that I was going across the street to grab something. Their food was bland their pizza had a dab of sauce on it. And for being a combination, I swear they counted out toppings. Will never come back. My first experience was horrible. You shit once at your bad, twice it's your own damn fault. read more

I was thinking about ordering a pie from this place until I saw all their food and produce on the ground outside the front door, I will never step foot in there after seeing that, that is a health code violation. How about getting there early to accept it into the restaurant. Gross! read more

The pizza and salad were delicious! The employees were personable and courteous. I've found going to small, family owned restaurants can't compare to chain restaurants. No comparison. The service and food is wonderful!! Sorry chains. Your food has gone downhill along with your service. read more

Good sauce, good crust, and the linguica is to die for. Ranch is excellent but a little pricey. But IMHO, well worth the cost.
