Arizmendi Bakery Pizzeria - Emeryville

Food is good but the employees are stank. Saw the guy making pizza wipe his nose on the back of his glove. Place need a good cleaning and should take pointers from Lakeshore store

The pizza was absolutely amazing and I loved the chai.

Service is good, but pizza tastes different than before.. too much oil

Staff is super friendly, I wanted to take home a day old pizza but couldn't fit it in my backpack and the lady was nice enough to cut it in half and wrap it for me. Worker owned coop. Pizza is delicious.

The corn cherry scone is awesome, and the bread remains big and reasonably priced compared to a lot of other bakeries nearby. However! The pizza, while nice, is so boring! Despite the change up of ingredients, it always hits the same dull note. Never with tomato sauce or meat. Good to check in with a few times a year, but not much of a daily go-to. The real problem with this place is that there’s a permanent homeless encampment in the outdoor eating area, and it has become so foul and disgusting that you can’t actually sit there and eat. In fact, going and coming through the side door is very unpleasant, with pools of urine, feces, horrible smells, and unwashed humans dozing in sleeping bags or occupying the chairs meant for customers. The windows are filthy, and the place looks like it hasn’t really been cleaned in years. The owners would do well to hose down the outside and scrub it with bleach, at least weekly, and ensure that it remains in inviting space for patrons. And wouldn’t it seem that the worker-owners, who come and go every day, might look at the windows and surroundings and think “maybe we should clean this place once in a while and have some pride in our business”? Do collectives die by apathy?
