Arinell Pizza - Berkeley

Amazing! I've been coming here since I was around 8 years old, and now at 25, it still brings back all my childhood memories.

The pizza was burnt—more than just a little char; the crust was completely dried out, indicating it had been reheated multiple times. Some parts of the crust were black all the way through the cheese. It arrived cold and in a box that was too small. The pizza was literally folded over a third of the way just to fit inside.

I found the pizza to be somewhat dry; while the crust was fully cooked, it seemed a bit lacking in moisture, and a little extra tomato sauce would have enhanced it. This might have been due to the delivery process and the pizza cooling down. Personally, I prefer the sausage removed from the casing, like sausage balls you’d find in Chicago or New York. Overall, it was pretty decent.

Still the closest to pizza like home Ive found in the Bay Area! SO good.

Best pizza in Bay Area just get the cheese its perfect!
