Learned in Manhattan. Made in Berkeley.
He learned from an Italian pizza-maker in upper Manhattan, came to Berkeley, and found nobody doing it right. So he opened Arinell.

A pizza that keeps Ron's Legacy
Ron Demirdjian opened Arinell in Berkeley in 1975 because nobody in the Bay Area was making real New York pizza. Nearly fifty years later, he's still at it. Fifty years later, Ron checks up on the store, advising on quality, chemistry, and the Arinell community.
My friends and I came here for pizza, although only a few of us actually ordered some. After chatting with who I believe was the owner for a few minutes, he generously offered the rest of us some pizza as well. That small act of kindness made us feel incredibly welcome. I can honestly say that Arinell Pizza offers not only delicious pizza but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a dining experience I truly enjoyed, and I’ll definitely be back.😊😊
This place has gotten so much better! And they now stopped using seed oils when making their pizza! They use olive oil and have whole/vegan cheese options. Seating has also became available and they are open late night too.
This man makes delicious New York style and Sicilian pizza. The New York was crispy and delicious well-balanced!
