arizmendi is a great pizza place that serves one type of vegetarian pizza a day, and that type changes each day depending on ingredients in season. (this is much like the more popular cheeseboard in berkeley--in fact, if you've been there, you notice that it's practically the same thing in emeryville). for some reason, i like cheeseboard a little more (i still really like this place), and i don't know if it's psycholigical. they tend to have more sweet type breads compared to cheeseboard, and i've found that their pizza slice size is pretty non-consistent. one time, i went with a friend for lunch, and my slice was literally half the size of hers, even though we paid the same price.

Hi there. I just went here for lunch today, and as always, their pizza is amazingly good. They always make a different pizza every day and only offer that one option, but I have never had a pizza I didn't like. Even if the pizza has something I don't like on it (like eggplant), it is cut so thinly and baked just right that the flavor is the part that is there. So the texture doesn't get weird (I can be kind of weird with textures). In any case, all of their breads and sweet baked goods have always been stellar as well. It's a co-op, too, so it has a certain feel-good vibe when you walk in the door. Try it out! If you are in Berkeley, the Cheeseboard is the same co-op, so the nice folk at Arizmendi tell me.
