Took me 2.5 yrs to finally make myself come back. The vegan desserts are as good always!! Only place I prefer to indulge on cookies. Came by for some cookies for peers and they absolutely loved it. Definitely going back this weekend to indulge on a few vegan slice pizza. Or even a half and half pie. I'm glad the inside is now open. Been too long.

We love the pizza here. I really think that their sourdough crust is one of the best pizza crusts around. It's better than almost all pizza options I've had! I also really like the vegan cheese options. Every day is a different combo. I've only had the vegan slices but my family really likes the regular combos as well. We try to come by every week!

Good pizza and bakery. Parking is easy in the lot. Pastries are also very delicious. Would recommend!

Update: Tried their stollen bread. I thought I already gave them a piece of my heart; why'd they have to steal a little more? ‍ Their stollen is a limited holiday special so act swiftly (I got mine in early December to share with my little brother when I see him for the holidays). If they have any left, get it and share with loved ones who appreciate unique breads and pastries.

I can't even begin to tell you how depressing it is to come here for a couple slices of pizza alone (the pizza always slaps so I never feel bad about that). It's been relatively lonely since I moved here and I've had pizza more times that I'd like to admit due to the social nature of the dish. But, oh my god was it weird to just bike up, lock up, walk in, order two slices for like $9, then eat it alone on the patio outdoors in sunny norcal with my backpack still on. The staff was so friendly and there were absolutely zero positive vibes emanating from me, not in an emo way, but in a, "man, this dude could use a friend or two-" kind of way. Really hoping I have some company the next time I come back. Would recommend when I'm not so pathetic.

Surprised I haven't reviewed this place! I've only been a few times many years ago but it is one of my fav bake shops out there. Stopped by today after an appointment in the area. I wanted something for lunch and my sister was just talking about the inner sunset location. Their special was a squash pizza so that's what i got! $6.50 for two slices - so reasonable! I also got a molasses cookie and pecan roll for my husband. The pizza was absolutely delicious and the cookie was even better. So solid all around, just like I remember!

I'm a longtime fan of Arizmendi Emeryville. I keep coming back for everything from their delicious daily pizzas to breads to scones to soups. This coop has great service, friendly, patient worker-owners, and is great for a pit stop inside for coffee and a pastry (seating is limited to barstools but you get to watch the pizzas get made) or equally entertaining to people & car watch from their benches outside that overlook busy San Pablo Avenue out front or the skate park out back. But I'm here now to throw some love towards a more rare Arizmendi sighting that comes for just the briefest time each year: their Mid-Autumn Moon Festival Mooncakes. For a couple of weeks sometime mid-September to early-October, you can find these petit pastries on the shelves at the Emeryville location (although they may also be available at other Arizmendi shops, but I can't confirm). Made with a lotus seed or red bean paste filling surrounded by a thin, flakey, and slightly buttery/oily pastry, Arizmendi mooncakes are yummy, not overly sweet, and they pair beautifully with a tea or coffee. Mooncakes are part of Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Festival that I celebrate with my husband. Their round, full-moon shape and stamped symbolism helps remind us of unity, harmony, and family. I love any cultural tradition that centers on food, and especially if that food is a pastry. Get your fill while you can, but be warned they sell out fast!

I love the daily fruit scones. Today they were a bit more like fluffy biscuit texture but still good in flavor. I really enjoy the more crunchy ones

My better half and I were heading to Berkeley and Emeryville to hand out today and having seen a recent PBS episode of "Check Please Bay Area" that featured a very flattering review of this location and in particular the Gorgonzola, Balsamic glaze, walnut and arugula sour dough crust pizza at Arizmendi in Emeryville, this seemed like a good afternoon to stop by and check out this location and this pizza - since it was the featured pizza of the day. This is one of a few locations for this worker owned and operated bakery and pizza parlor, along the same lines as the Cheese Board in Berkeley. Parking is easy, they have a giant free lot alongside the shop and we had our $24 large whole pizza of the day in just 5 minutes. There are a few tables outside and cups for water and a reasonably clean bathroom as well ! Hooray Now for the main event - that pizza. Holy crap that was a very very tasty pizza. Not a combination I would have normally gravitated to but it all worked well and the nice thing was the chew of that thin but well cooked and excellent sour dough crust. Yummy yummy stuff. Truth be told my better half and I polished off a whole pizza - we don't normally do that. It was that good. Nice staff all working hard to keep the baked goods reasonably stocked and the pizzas rolling out. We will be back. Of course we grabbed a couple of cookies upon exiting. The mint chocolate and chocolate chip ones. Delish. I guess the diet starts next week. Visit this place, support this worker run business and eat good quality fresh and real food.
