I really wanted to like this place as the service was amazing, but unfortunately the pizza wasn’t great. It looked really old and was extremely oily when it came out. I know they don’t use as much salt as other places, but there was barely any flavor. $6.31 for a pepperoni slice, not bad.

When I came to Berkeley the first time for a job interview, i literally followed my nose to find where the amazing pizza smells were coming from and it led me to Arinell’s. I lived in New York for decades and this is hands-down the best NY-style pizza I have ever eaten outside of the state of New York. Fancy? No. Delicious? Very!

Terrific place! Thank you, Scott, for the delicious pizza and memorable lunch 🙂
FOOD: The pizza crust is delicious. This NY style pizza is better than several pizzas I’ve tried in NYC because here they bake it just right. The crust is not burned/charred black, it’s thin and crunchy but still foldable. Good balance of cheese and sauce. I got a full vegan pizza and the cheese did not stick to the mouth and overall tasty
SERVICE: Maybe the best part. So friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They greet you like you’re a friend visiting after a while.

I’m incredibly biased. It’s literally the first place I ever bought pizza with my own money, 50 years ago. To me, it’s what thin crust New York-style pizza is supposed to taste like. A slice of cheese (ideally) or pepperoni (if you insist) straight out of the oven is excellent. If business is slow and the pizza’s been out of the oven, they’ll toss it back in the oven to warm it, but it will not be as good.
You can also get a full pie fresh with whatever toppings you like, but for a slice with other toppings, they’ll just take a slice of cheese add the topping and toss it back in the oven to warm. I recommend sticking with the basics for slices and the straight cheese is the best choice anyway.

Amazing pizza, but the extra toppings were applied sloppy and didn’t cook very well. Best not to waste money on it. Also got tricked by a promotions “Fine Print” paying more than what was promised. Pizzas great but that trick didn’t rub me the right way.

Really not great. It said it opened at 12 noon… We were there at 12:05 and it was still closed. Waited until they opened a few minutes later. Tried to order right away because my toddler was hungry. Was told we don’t have any pizza ready and to wait. We should have left at that point. Pizza was ok but I wouldn’t go back again. They take cash only!

Been looking for a Ny style slice shop since moving. This place is as good, if not better than any NYC spot

I’ve been coming here for years – less often now that I don’t live in Berkeley, but I picked up a pie a few weeks ago and it hit all the marks I wanted it to. Which is to say it was quite good and tasted the same as it did when I was in high school and college sat waiting for the bus(65/67) home right outside their doors. It’s a real shame that the amount of actual “retail” space they have to work with was so negatively impacted by the construction of the building that is now on top of it,. but it seems they’re making do!

Was loudly yelled and cussed at because they forgot to call me to pick up the pizza. Arinell Pizza is mediocre pizza served with terribly rude customer service. Take it from these reviews:
– “There was a bug — a live bug — in my daughter’s drink and they not only denied it, despite it being right in their faces, but were completely rude about it.”
– Out the oven, the slice was very hard and stale. The two guys were talking loud and unprofessional,cursing at times. Most of the tables were dirty…
– Unprofessional service it’s guaranteed they’ll burn your pizza
– “…the pizza that was out looks like it been there a long time.”
– “Cashier literally screamed and cussed at us for refusing to pay before we received the pizza. I’ve never experienced such horrible service. Will not be returning anytime soon.”

New York style slices in downtown Berkeley. They’re cheap, large, greasy, and floppy as the best NYC slices are. They come out from the oven piping hot, and can be topped with the usual options. There’s even a vegan pizza for those who want their slices without animal products.
