excellent NY style vegan pizza by the slice

Arinell Pizza has excellent NY style vegan pizza by the slice for $3.25 per slice. They use daiya tapioca vegan cheese that is soy free, gluten free, & dairy free. daiya is made from tapioca. The crust here is dialed as it is firm & has just the right amount of sauce. Daiya isn't my favorite vegan cheese yet it is still great especially here as Arinell Pizza does vegan pizza right.

I have been vegan for over 20 years. I was born in NYC while being raised in Long Island & FL. I used to have NY style pizza & since I have eaten it in a long time this is the closest I remember it. It is awesome that Arinell Pizza makes a commendable vegan pizza in the tradition of a NY slice. Besides slices they also have a medium vegan pizza for $19.50 & a large vegan pizza for $26.50.

Next time I want to branch out & explore some of the toppings. Toppings such as black olives, onions, & fresh garlic are .50 cents per topping per slice. Mushrooms & green pepper are .75 cents per topping per slice.

Besides being in Berkeley there are other branches in San Francisco at 509 Valencia & 16th St in the Mission District. I'll be back here for sure!

Pros: excellent NY style vegan pizza by the slice

5 stars partly for sentimental reasons but it is my favorite pizza in Berkeley.

When I was in high school (Berkeley High) before I became vegan I used to get Arinell's pizza during lunch break. I would order two cheese slices and make a sandwich out of them. Now 35 years later I still frequent Arinell's partly for the sentimental reasons, but I really do like the taste, texture and thinness, and I'm thrilled that they offer vegan slices again.

Vegan slices

They have $5 vegan slices. Thin and droopy but comes out hot and the slices are large and foldable as NY slices should be. The cheese and sauce balance is good to me. I think the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would appreciate this droopy pizza. Have I had better? Yes. Would I say yes to a slice of this anyway? For sure.

Skimpy on the Vegan Cheese

We came in for a large mushroom and olive vegan pie. I could barely tell they added cheese on it. Like where is my cheese? Also, it’s that cheap daiya. Also, you gotta buy a whole pie.

Pros: Classic American Pizza Joint

Cons: Expensive, Bad Service

Overpriced with bad service

Greasy “nyc” styled pizza that’s overpriced and with horrible service. Stopped offering vegan pizza by the slice.

My partner liked it!

I stopped here for a slice with my partner. I didn't really care for it; it tasted like school lunch pizza. My partner liked it, though.

Pros: Vegan options well-marked

Cons: Not much seating
