    I could have sworn I wrote this review already but it's not here and it needs to be! My son just moved to the area. We came to visit him to celebrate his birthday earlier this month. He wanted Italian/pizza for his birthday dinner. We looked up a couple places and decided to come here. We got a side of olives (my husband loves them), a margarita pizza, wings and a salad plus a caramel sundae for dessert. All of the food was great! The crust on the pizza was superb. My husband is picky when it comes to pizza and he said this is up there with the top pizza he's ever had. We enjoyed the wings and salad. The sundae was phenomenal. WOW. The ice cream was so creamy and the caramel was scrumptious. The only bummer was the wait time. They quoted us 30-45 minutes but we didn't get seated until an hour and a half later. Despite that, we will return when we're in town again. Next time we will get there earlier.

    Delicious swirl of vanilla and salted caramel ice cream with loads of caramel topping and whipped cream

    Had a random Thursday night out in Lodi with great company. We ordered wings and the mushroom pizza and paired it with a sparkling red wine. Our waitstaff was exemplary and we appreciated their attentiveness. For dessert we had a sundae and shared the cannoli. Space is limited, so we shared a table . There's room outside in their patio but I didn't notice if they have heating outside. Our mushroom pizza was delicious. The variety of mushrooms was outstanding and their pizza dough/crust has that beautiful crunch on the outside while staying soft through the middle. I'm usually a red sauce gal but this cheese and mushroom pizza had so much flavor. Not one bit of it was dry. The wings were average but tasty. Our sundaes were delightful but the cannoli was okay. The pizza though... that's a Five Star experience. I can't wait to go back.

    Falco pizza
    Meng Y.

    It was a Saturday night around 530pm and me and my friend were heading to the Plain White T's concert in Lodi and decided to eat in Lodi before the concert. Me and my friend tried to go Pietro's Trattoria first but it was too busy till 8pm so we googled other places and stumbled upon this great pizza place! This is a farm to fork restaurant. There were fresh flowers at the tables that added a cute touch to modern clean vibe. They have outdoor patio seating also. There weren't any regular seats on a Saturday evening but luckily there were 2 seats at the counter right in front of the kitchen where we could watch the staff making the dishes and cooking the pizzas in the wood fire stove. We ordered the capri salad which has lettuce with salami, olives, banana peppers, cheese, and tomatoes and the falco pizza which has sausage, tomato, breadcrumbs, chili, basil, red onion, and fresh mozzarella. We added mushrooms to the pizza for an extra charge. The salad became a bit too sour for me at the end so I had to pick out all the banana peppers but it was a very refreshing salad and we still finished it. It could use a bit less banana peppers. The pizza came out hot. The crust of the pizza was soft and chewy and all the ingredients went well together. I'm glad we added the mushrooms to the pizza. Overall, the food was delicious, fresh, and uses seasonal local ingredients.

    Such an adorable family owned restaurant right in the heart of Lodi. Just come prepared that they do not take any reservations, for any party size, and the weight is typically around about one hour for most tables. I have come twice on different days of the week and it's about pretty standard to wait. They do have options to purchase bottles of wine and enjoy outside or take home. They are most famously known for their pizza, pies and soft, serve ice cream, which comes in vanilla and salted caramel. We tried the salted caramel flavor, which was so delicious, but you have to eat quick because it is really soft and almost close to runny. They offer cannolis, but only if you're lucky you'll get one. They were already done for the day when we arrived. This time I tried the pepperoni pizza, Nick style, which comes with hot honey. It was absolutely delicious and I definitely ate more than I should have. Because this restaurant is so busy, I do find that the service is sometimes a little bit lacking. The table that came after us seems to be getting more fast, faster, service, and I believe our waitress may have forgot about our drinks. Additionally, when we asked for red peppers with our food, which we did not receive. The table next to us also wanted to ask for red peppers, but nobody came around until they were done. So since seeing your waiter won't be very often during your visit, I do recommend being prepared every time you would do have them come to your table. The hours of this place are also limited, so probably a good idea to check before you show up. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and are OK waiting

    Got a recommendation from a local winery and this place did not disappoint! Amazing food, friendly staff, cool vibe! Wish we lived closer but when visiting Lodi we will definitely be back. Come early and I recommend sitting at the bar because you get to see all the action in the kitchen.

    Soft serve - swirl of salted caramel and vanilla

    This place is fantastic. This is me and my mother's second time coming to Guantonio's and it never fails to amaze us. We arrived at the restaurant at 4:30ish (they don't open until 5) and people were already lined up outside. They have very limited seating especially inside. As the doors opened everyone was very respectful and waited their turn to enter. We got a table for two inside and our waitress greeted us and put in our wine order. We were then given the opportunity to taste the wine and allotted more time to think about our order. We ended up getting the hummus, Hana's Greens and meatballs to start. Everything was fantastic, in our opinion the hummus is a must order (5 Stars) just be careful not to burn your fingers on the hot fresh bread. This was the first time we ordered Hana's Acre Greens and we were pleasantly surprised. The salad is very simple only featuring greens, some Parmesan and a dressing but wow is it delicious. It's a perfect accompaniment to everything on the menu, will definitely order it again (5 stars!!). We also ordered the meatballs which are unfortunately not pictured and they were very good as well. We were a bit concerned because the meatballs were slightly pink inside but neither of us got sick so I'm sure we were just being paranoid. I would rate the meatballs (3.5 stars), they are good but you aren't missing out on too much. We also got a pizza, this time it was the mortadella which I have been itching to try! I was mostly full by the time it arrive but still decided to try it. The pizza was crispy and fresh, the mix of cheese mortadella and pistachio was a fantastic combo and I highly recommend it. Lastly we got the vanilla salted caramel swirl soft serve to end the night and no regrets. It is genuinely one of the best ice cream/sundaes I have ever had and I would go back just for that!! I also want to emphasize the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Everyone working there is extremely helpful and makes sure that all parties are taken care of. Our waitress gave us great recommendations and made sure that all of our food was enjoyed. The interior is also very cute, and even if you don't manage to snag an inside table they have heating lamps outside to make sure you are comfortable. Overall if you are in the Lodi area and don't mind waiting for a table, Guantonios is a MUST visit!! Can't wait to go back!

    Potato skins & ins

    The wait time can be long if you get there during peak dinner time. My group ordered a pizza for 3 with a few appetizers and it was enough for us. The potatoes were my absolute favorite. They were crunchy but not over the top.

    Just go! Salad, Wings, Pizza, Ice cream, absolutely everything we ordered was so good. The pizza dough is just perfect in flavor, wings so crispy and yummy, salad was the perfect combination. Can't wait to come back and try the burgers!!

    We showed up around 5pm on a Saturday and were met with a long line of people checking in--clearly a popular spot. We put our name down and ended up waiting just under two hours to be seated, so be prepared if you come during peak time (they don't take reservations). Once we were seated, everything we ordered was solid. We started with the Skins & Ins, cauliflower, and gnocchi. The potatoes were super crispy and well-seasoned--basically perfect bar-style bites. The cauliflower was really flavorful, and the gnocchi was impressively light and packed with flavor. For mains, we went with the Amatriciana and the Mushroom pizza. The tomato sauce on the Amatriciana was bright and fresh-tasting, and the mushroom pizza had a great variety of mushrooms. Crust was nice, though the pizzas had a bit of flop to them, so folding was the way to go. We wrapped it all up with the salted caramel sundae, which was next level. It had layers and this almond rocca-like topping that added an awesome crunch--one of the more memorable desserts I've had in a while. Even as we left, the line outside was still long. Despite the wait, this place is worth checking out if you're into good pizza, small plates, and a solid wine and beer list. Just bring your patience!

    Pizza - seasonal with all greens

    Always a delight! I always keep coming back for fresh seasonal salads and pizza toppings. With Asparagus in season - tried asparagus and fresh mozzarella Cherries are seasonal - lentils, farro and some fresh cherry salad - yes please!! Meatballs - always a hit! That sauce is just so subtle and delicious! Service always warm and friendly. Ambiance - locals frill and frock!

    The falco pizza
    Bryan J.

    Tried this place on a date night and the service was great and staff were very friendly. We got the potato skin appetizer and then a shared pizza finished off with cannolis for dessert. For me the food was good and very fairly priced, there is both inside and outside seating and inside you can even watch them cook your pizza on the brick oven. Definitely a great place to come for an evening date and oven fired pizza

    Seating for two. Outside

    Non pizza were great. Pizza was good. We ordered The hummus not picture, it was delightful. Sour dough freshly baked and tasty smooth hummus. Very good. The wings were slightly spicy with the Calabrian chili. Wings are slightly small but they give you plenty. I think they just use non gmo chicken. Tasty nonetheless recommended. You dont see Calabrian chili wings on menu's. The tomatoes watermelon salad was great. Huge slices of both with topped with a sort of chutney with red pickled onions and mints. Refreshing, what a combination. The pasta was tasty and a bit salty granted it was topped with burrata cheese. casarecce pasta was small enough to eat with a spoon. Appetizers potion it was. Now the pizzas. Mushrooms pizza my wife ordered was OK in her opinion. I didn't try it. The ciao pepe pizza was unusual to say the least. I've never had such a thing. Heavy on the black pepper along with char of the pizza made it have a unique taste. Unfortunately im not a fan. As far as refreshments i didn't see a beverage section on menu so I just ordered a coke. They serve bottled coca cola only I assume. That's what I keep being served. Service was good it was very busy with tables or 6,7 8..outdoors.. ambiance was fine small speaker of what I think was Italian music playing outside. I enjoyed everything up till my choice of pizza. $142 not including tip. They use Square payment if that matters to you.

    Yes, we even got their postcard and framed it above our bar.

Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating.

I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!
