    Chicken pesto
    Dawn M.

    Chicken pesto sandwich is so good, its the perfect size to share, and the chicken is flavorful and the bread is toasted perfect. One of my favorites!

    Liann S.

    Dropped by to pick up a quick lunch during my weekend stay in Ojai. I was craving a sandwich and saw Gustos on Yelp. I got an Italian halfsie sandwich and it was the perfect size. Would recommend just getting a half size if you don't want to be overstuffed. The sandwich itself was yummy and the bread was soft. I'm usually critical of sandwiches because it really depends on how good the bread is and this one passed for sure. There was a lot of parking and there are tables outside for seating.

    Chicken breast sandwich
    Sarah S.

    I never got to try Ojai Valley Deli Cafe so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this was still the same menu, people, and local favorite reputation. The menu isn't too big so it's easy to pick what you want, which can come at an advantage or disadvantage depending on how good at making decisions. I wish they had some more options, which they totally could with their ingredients! They have a fridge with some day old sandwiches for half price: I love that touch! Along with some sides and salads. Another fridge is filled with some yummy drinks and there are a few other treats spread out on the counter top. I got the veggie panini which has great flavors and the bread is so delicious with a crunch on the outside and soft bread goodness on the inside. I would have loved more veggies (besides the mixed greens) in it though. But I'm not gonna hate cause I loved it. My husband got the Italian sub which he devoured. He said it was a great one, and big enough for 2 meals. My mother in law got the chicken breast sandwich which was covered in too much aioli for her unfortunately l, so something to look out for if you aren't a fan of a drenched sandwich. I only regret not grabbing a coconut walnut cookie on the way out! Those looked delicious. The employee that took our order was very kind and helpful and it seems like a small operation because the sandwich chef would come out from the back to grab the orders and begin prep. They got our order out quickly: less than 5 minutes. In the mean time we enjoyed sitting in the new patio equipment outside enjoying the day with other Ojaians that were just as excited for their Gusto food! Ooo and I also appreciate that they put cardboard under the sandwiches when they wrap them up to keep them stout, and they hide a pickle in a bag underneath for all you pickle people :)

    That prosciutto cheese sandwich is 10/10 perfection. From texture to saltiness to the cheese and the bread, so good. The lunch box is worth it too IMO, comes with cute cookies and chips. Yumm

    Chicken panini and lamb panini
    Edward C.

    Excellent food. Tried both lamb panini and chicken panini. I like chicken one better because of the pesto and avocado. The lamb one taste a little dryer. It's taste like roast beef sandwich. No dine in just pay at the cashier and you can either eat outside or take it home. Great place to eat after hike or bring it for hiking

    Special for the day blackened chicken sandwich. Grilled chicken with a regular mayo, tomato and roasted peppers.

    Came here once awhile back as a quick stop since I was passing by it. I do remember liking it…read more I was finally able to go back and sit to enjoy their food comfortably. I had seen someone post about their matcha affogato so I had to go with my husband to try it. It is off of one of Ojai's Main Street so it can get loud if you are planning to stay and sit. No private parking but there's plenty of street parking around the area. There's limited seating outside. It was a bit confusing to us but it does seem like its first come for seating. Inside is pretty small to order. It is really cute how it's like a mini market with wine and other items. We for sure went wanting to try their matcha affogato which we got. We also got some of their pastries and a simple plate which was perfect for me. Everything was really good. We absolutely loved the matcha affogato. We are really glad we went. Overall, cute place. We go up to Ojai to walk so this will stay on our list to stop at when we go up.

    After having lunch at the Ojai Pizza Company earlier this year, something occurred to me as I sat…read morethere and looked around at all of the jerseys hanging on their walls. I saw some of the G.O.A.T's of the NBA, the NFL, the NHL, and the MLB which were all proudly on display. Hey, Maybe you've heard of 'em... Jordan, Jabbar, Montana, Gretzky, Gehrig Yeah, we all know these Greats and what their individual contributions were to their respective sport/league. Well, after eating the pizza and salad at O.P.C, I can truly say that these jerseys represented more than the players who wore them, but they had a direct correlation to the food that's served here. The overall Pizza is an unstoppable slam dunk just like Michael Jordan would do as he soared through the air with his tongue out. Yeah, The pizza we ordered had the perfect amount of sauce to cheese to toppings ratio and it was the "hook" that kept me wanting more, just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook move that was his secret weapon to scoring big. The secret weapon on our pizza.... The Pineapple!!! Now let's talk about the Greek Salad! Just like Joe Montana was put into the Hall of Fame, the Ojai Pizza Co.'s Greek Salad should be added to the list! Yeah, this Greek Salad was the 'Gretzky' of all Greek Salads. It too should have the same nickname... The Great One! (Because Damn was it a Great One!) Yes, every single bite which had the perfect combination of toppings, and a dressing that sealed the deal; this Greek Salad was the "Iron Horse" side dish that looked as good as Lou Gehrig did in those Yankee Pinstripes and it definitely was a hit out of the park home run that complimented our pie. Located right on Ojai Ave. in the center of town, this little pizza shop knows exactly what they are doing. They are shooting for that W that can win Championships all while securing a W both in our hearts and in our stomachs for all of the love that they are putting into their food. So if you find yourself visiting the quaint little town of Ojai and are in need of a quick, easy, and tasty meal, the Ojai Pizza Co. is definitely the G.O.A.T in the area when it comes to hand-tossed pizzas!

It's massively delicious. We also got a combo pizza which was tempting me with a slice after I finished my sandwich. I love their combo pizza. They load on the toppings. The only disappointment were the meatballs. I expected large meatballs like at other pizza joints but they were small little things, unfortunately. So far, the combo pizza is A+ and craveable to the point that I've had to go back multiple times and the club sandwich is great. Till next time... hope to find more good orders to add to the list.

The pickle plate was lovely, 4 types of pickled vegetables (cucumbers, red/white onions, and bell peppers) which went great with the krupuk. Great place to pass the time!
