A former New Yorker says "Best Neopolitan Pizza in CA" by eniveld on 10/5/2009 via Citysearch
To tell you where I'm coming from, the best Neopolitan style (aka "New York Style") pizza in the USA comes from Grimaldi's Pizzeria in Brooklyn, NY. Google/Bing that and you'll see. Arinell's is a close number two.\r \r You can always…

Arinell's Pizza by Leslie L on 1/2/2009 via Insider Pages
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 by Veronica C on 12/30/2008 via Insider Pages
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 by Natalia B on 9/2/2008 via Insider Pages
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 by fattiusthebear on 5/6/2007 via Menuism
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. by ckyelland on 3/5/2007 via Citysearch
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 by Linda T. on 3/22/2006 via Judy's Book
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 by Timothy M. on 10/7/2005 via Judy's Book
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. by Kate P on 8/30/2005 via Insider Pages
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 by Martin K. on 8/7/2005 via Judy's Book
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 by Chung K. on 8/5/2005 via Judy's Book
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 by foodieinmv on 2/9/2005 via Citysearch
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. by rockitbaby on 2/5/2003 via Citysearch
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 by Meower on 1/21/2003 via Citysearch
If you want consistently GREAT pizza that is non-gourmet, inexpensive and pipping hot.....go to Arinell! I have been going to this place since I was in college. Those "tatooed and pierced guys" (and various variations over the years) are…
