Arinell's has been my pick for the best slice since I was a kid growing up in the 70's in Berkeley. Yes, I also dabbled with that Blondie's and Fat Slice action, but nothing compairs to the crispy crust, timed to your liking at Arinell's. I live in New York City now, and I swear nothing compairs well, maybe ONE place. Sacco's in Hell's Kitchen on 9th Ave., an equivilent hole in the wall with all the NYC charms of a men's locker room.
Every time I fly back to Berkeley to see my folks, I gotta swing by Shattuck and grab that skinny slice (or 2) and a fountain soda.
