Google/Bing that and you'll see. Arinell's is a close number two.\\r \\r You can always… #### Arinell's Pizza - Author: Leslie L - Date: Friday, January 2, 2009 - Source: Insider Pages - URL: At its busiest hour, getting the pizza is a bit frustrating, but hang in there and it's worth it! The line moves really fast, so make sure you know what you want by the time it's your turn or you'll slow it down. The slices are big and I… #### Very good pizza - Author: Veronica C - Date: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 - Source: Insider Pages - URL: Their pizza is absolutely great. However, you have to know what you want once you get to the front of the line. They can be like the soup Nazi in Seinfeld, so beware! #### AAALMOST New York pizza - Author: Natalia B - Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2008 - Source: Insider Pages - URL: If I want a slice, I come here every time. It's reliably fresh, not greasy, crispy and nicely spiced plain old NY-style pizza. This is very hard to find in California. Quick carry-out service (though there are a couple of tables) with… #### decent new york style pizza - Author: fattiusthebear - Date: Sunday, May 6, 2007 - Source: Menuism - URL: Arinell's is a small little pizza joint on Shattuck. It doesn't look like much, with just a couple tables,... #### Bloody Good Thin Crust Pizza. - Author: ckyelland - Date: Monday, March 5, 2007 - Source: Citysearch - URL: If you prefer the doughy, thick crusts at Fat Slice or Blondie's, then skip this place. But if you love classic Neapolitan-style thin crust pizza, Arinell's is your place. Their crust is perfectly thin and blistered, and barely supports… #### Great Late Night Meal - Author: Linda T. - Date: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 - Source: Judy's Book - URL: I have only been to this place once, but I am still looking for an excuse to go again. I am personally not a fan of oily pizza. At least not the sort of pizza you would find around Telegraph. Arinell's pizza surprised me when I had it… #### Excellent Crust - Author: Timothy M. - Date: Friday, October 7, 2005 - Source: Judy's Book - URL: I think Arinell's has been around for a very long time in Berkeley but I only recently tried it for the first time. I loved the pizza crust. I think most places can provide similar toppings but what makes it all come together is the… #### greasy good. - Author: Kate P - Date: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 - Source: Insider Pages - URL: Arinell's pizza comes more highly recommended by my friends than I (I'm a zachary's girl myself) but if you're on the run, its cheep and pretty good. Miles better than the chains. #### Pretty close to NYC - Author: Martin K. - Date: Sunday, August 7, 2005 - Source: Judy's Book - URL: If you’re looking for a good (but not great) new york style pizza, then this is the place to go. Walking in, the ambiance right away has obvious hints of a small pizzeria on the east coast from the cramped quarters to the often times… #### Great Pizza - Author: Chung K. - Date: Friday, August 5, 2005 - Source: Judy's Book - URL: Arinell Pizza. Located on Shattuck Avenue, theirs is the closest you'll get to real, thin-crust, New York-style pizza in Berkeley. The "fold factor"-the slice's ability to be folded over -convinced me that my days of deprivation were… #### THE BEST PIZZA IN THE EAST BAY - Author: foodieinmv - Date: Wednesday, February 9, 2005 - Source: Citysearch - URL: The place isn't much to look at - take your za to go. This is the BEST PIZZA around, and probably the best plain cheese pizza I've ever had - and I'm a topping person. #### I fly from NYC for this slice. - Author: rockitbaby - Date: Wednesday, February 5, 2003 - Source: Citysearch - URL: Arinell's has been my pick for the best slice since I was a kid growing up in the 70's in Berkeley. Yes, I also dabbled with that Blondie's and Fat Slice action, but nothing compairs to the crispy crust, timed to your liking at Arinell's.… #### Another 20 year + Fan - Author: Meower - Date: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - Source: Citysearch - URL: If you want consistently GREAT pizza that is non-gourmet, inexpensive and pipping hot.....go to Arinell!
