"The first thing to know about the Arthur Mac’s frozen pizzas is that they appear to be an entirely different style of pizza than the one the restaurant sells hot out of its brick oven — what comes in the vacuum-sealed bag is a thin-crusted, rectangular pie, as opposed to the thicker, crisp-bottomed, round variety it’s known for. Once baked off, per instructions, in a 450-degree oven, these pizzas eat a little like the kind of rustic, homemade pie you might make in the kitchen on your own. The combination of sauce, plentiful stretchy cheese, and slightly bready crust on the pepperoni pizza evoked childhood memories of Ellio’s, though not necessarily in a bad way: My two young kids both devoured several slices. Online, the only two topping options are cheese and pepperoni, but if you visit the North Oakland restaurant, there are usually a couple of more elaborate options." - Becky Duffett
