Pauls Live From New York Pizza Arcata — Restaurant in Arcata

My slice was incredibly greasy to the point where the whole thing fairly disintegrated (note to the establishment, you had a bona fide New Yorker in there, and trying to eat a slice in that condition is an assault to our pizza-connoisseur senses. Then again, New York pizza in California is about as elusive as a real bagel, so I guess I held too high a standard).

Additionally, I asked the counter staff if they had any silverware since I was going to need some backup (and maybe a bib). I was directed toward some plastic silverware (which I prefer not to use for, you know, environmental reasons, like protecting the stomachs of the whales that cruise thru every year), so I asked if there was an alternative.

If it had been left simply at "no" I would have just foregone the silverware and dealt with the fallout with my already-grease-covered hands, but the response was "we're all out right now, but maybe if our dishwasher gets around to it..." Seriously? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WASH A FORK?

I get that it's Humboldt, but seriously, that's a bit too laissez-faire for my tastes, even at a pizza joint... Left holding the crust-end as a good third of my slice slid onto the plate below, I ate that (extra star because the crust was decent) and dumped the remaining slop in the trash. Sorry, Paul. Won't be my first choice next time I'm...

Authentic Italian Flavors at Paul’s Live From New York Pizza in Arcata, CA

I went to Paul’s Live From New York Pizza in Arcata, Ca a few years ago. I was treated to an unexpected delight in the form of the best cannoli I’ve ever had. It wasn’t just the pizza that impressed; their cannoli took the experience to a whole new level of Italian culinary excellence.

From the first bite, the pizza showcased classic New York style with a perfect crust, robust sauce, and generously topped with quality ingredients. Each slice was a testament to authentic flavors and meticulous preparation. However, the highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the cannoli. It was impeccably crafted with a crispy shell and a lusciously creamy filling, striking a fine balance of sweetness and texture that made each bite memorable.

Paul’s Live From New York Pizza serves up the best cannoli that I have ever tasted! :) This spot is a must-visit for anyone in Arcata looking for a taste of genuine Italian fare. The delightful combination of great pizza and the best cannoli makes it a culinary gem...

Really uncomfortable experiance. I ordered a roll after confirming it would be a "roll" like a cinnamon roll pizza style. I wanted no bell peppers/olives.

Got the "roll" but it was a folded yet open-style liquid-filled mess it also had bell peppers. My husband took it back because it was very soggy and inedible. He exchanged it for 3 slices of pizza.

I was grateful that they exchanged it without hassle however on the very first bite there was a rock/pebble a little smaller than an eraser. It chipped my front tooth and caused a lot of pain shooting up into my gums. It's still hurting. I called and let them know that we didn't want it remade but that they should take it off the sale shelf for safety reasons. The lady said "ok yea, Thanks for letting us know..." but she seemed really irritated and hung up as I was saying "yea no problem I just don't want anyone else getting hurt" the line went dead.... well I have pictures so I'll share those.

Don't get the roll if you don't like sopping wet soggy bread filled with liquid. Don't get the godfather if you value...
