BBQ Corn Pizza
Nooshi B.

Skal Pizza is a cutie little pizza shop on the water that serves up some tasty food. We were seated promptly for our Saturday night rez and our service was spot on the entire night. We started with their kale salad and arugula salad; both of which were great. We then had their saffron miso pasta, pineapple and spanish chorizo pizza, spicy chicken sausage and the bbq corn pizza. The pineapple chorizo was easily the standout and we devoured it. Not too spicy and the pineapple was thinly sliced, which I loved. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and craving some good pizza.

Saffron Miso Pasta
Iris G.

We had a wonderful dining experience. The service was phenomenal from start to finish. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Although the restaurant doesn't typically allow substitutions, he reassured us that if we didn't enjoy our dish, he would gladly have it removed from the bill, which really showed his commitment to customer satisfaction. The atmosphere was lovely, with beautiful waterfront views that made the meal even more enjoyable. The food was delicious across the board. We enjoyed fresh, beautifully prepared salads, flavorful pasta, and excellent pizza. For dessert, we ordered the coconut tiramisu. While it was tasty, it was more reminiscent of a cheesecake than a traditional tiramisu since it lacked the classic coffee flavor. Overall, the outstanding service, great food, and picturesque setting made for a memorable meal.

Kale Caesar Salad
Ann P.

Beautiful spot and tasty lunch.. the perfect combo. I've been wanting to try Skal and so glad we did. We had the Caesar salad and spicy chicken sausage pizza. The presentation of the salad was pretty with a crispy Parmesan layer and the pizza was so fresh and crisp. We will be back.

Tomato Pizza on Zucchini Crust GF Pizza (not good)

The pizza tasted like day-old frozen pizza. It lacked flavor and the cheese had a very strange taste and texture. It was not good. Would not recommend at all.

My husband, daughter and I recently came for dinner and we had the best time at Skal. The Lido area is so charming and it was fun to sit and watch the boats and enjoy absolutely amazing food. The carrots were a great starter and my daughter thought they were the absolute best way to eat carrots. The pizzas were both so delicious and we can't wait to come back for another round. The staff were so friendly and patient as we struggled to makeup our minds. And their recommendations were exactly what we were looking for. This place is truly the best pizza around.

Blueberry lavender lemonade
Leah Y.

Added to my favorites list! Loved it here - simply put, the food was yummy, restaurant was clean and aesthetically pleasing, and it was right on the marina. This place is a bit hidden, so you could easily miss it. It's on the marina side of Lido so you need to use the boardwalk to access. Bring your parking ticket if you parked in the structure. They validate but no more than a couple hours. Blueberry lavender lemonade was delicious and fresh - not too sour. Kale Caesar was good but i wish they would have softened the kale and dressed the salad more. Was a bit bitter and tough. Pizza was yummy and I loved the options for toppings. Will be back!

This was my second visit to Skal and it won't be the last! Not only do I love the location of this place but the food and service is great too! And I love that they have gluten free options, which are marked on the menu. I got the Artichoke and White Sauce pizza - modified to be gluten free. It was very good although I'm not entirely sure I'm a big artichoke fan, but if you are you will probably love this! My friend got the Spinach and Pesto pasta and loved it! We finished off dinner with the Caramelized Banana which was so good and our only complaint being that we wished there was more banana. Overall, we had a great experience and we can't wait to come back very soon!

We loved our dinner at Skal Pizza! The atmosphere is so nice right on the water and they accommodated our large group. The food was outstanding, the pizza, pesto pasta, and veggie sides. But the desserts were by far the standout, especially the wood fired peaches. Definitely a great spot in Newport.

We tried this place on Mother's Day. They were on Resy and had availability last minute. We were sat down about 30 mins after our reservation but kinda understandable given Mother's Day although the hostess told us that they had a 90min limit. The servers weren't particularly happy except the Latina one. We had their spicy chorizo and pineapple pizza (4/5) peperoni with pineapple pizza (3/5) we also had the kale Caesar that came with a big dome of baked cheese. Looked great but was 3/5. Carrots were good and nicely presented (5/5), saffron miso pasta (2/5) flavorless for a dish with two spices in that name and ratatouille with side of chicken (2/5). You are here basically for the view.

Kale Caesar salad
Grace B.

Tried Skal Pizza with a group recently and had a really solid experience overall, with a few standout items. We ordered the regular cheese pizza, a butternut squash and sage pizza, a kale Caesar salad, and a pepperoni pizza with added sausage and mushrooms. My favorite was actually the pepperoni with added sausage and mushrooms--it had great flavor, really savory and well balanced, and the toppings just worked really well together without feeling too heavy. The table next to us asked what we ordered and I think that this combo would be a great addition to the menu! I also really enjoyed the regular cheese pizza. It was simple, but in a fresh, homemade way. The kale Caesar salad was another highlight for me. It felt fresh and well dressed, and it was a nice contrast to all the pizza. I'd definitely order it again. The butternut squash and sage pizza was the one I wasn't a big fan of. It was quite sweet, more than I expected, and I personally didn't love that.

Amazing food and drinks!! Came here on whim and so glad we did. Our server Kaleb was wonderful and so accommodating! Would recommend this spot to anyone

Spinach & pesto pasta, pepperoni pizza, and avocado pizza

Pizza is so delish and unique! Service was great and the atmosphere on lido can't be beat. Great date night spot, we will be back :)

Kale caesar salad
Natalie S.

This pizza spot in Lido Village is very cute. It's right on the water, overlooking the harbor. It's mostly patio seating, and if it gets cold, they have heaters. The menu is small, but when the food is good you don't need to overcomplicate things. Parking is difficult. There is a lot that the restaurant will validate for you, but it's only 90 minutes. The lot fills up fast, but they do have valet. Kale caesar: The parmesan crisp over the top was fun to crack into - literally. I thought it was really good, but honestly, it was more fun with the crisp that you have to crack on top to get to the salad beneath. Spicy chicken sausage: This was the highlight of the meal. It's a white sauce pizza with mildly spicy chicken sausage. If you can't handle spice, don't worry, it's not very spicy. The tomatoes (which there could be much more of) tampers down the spice. But it's very tasty. If I were to come back, I would definitely order this pizza again.

The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and I loved the inside-out cheese crust. My husband's fajitas were flavorful, although the chicken was a little overdone. The guacamole was excellent, especially with the pepita seeds adding great texture. Overall, we enjoyed the flavorful food, service, and atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!

I was a little hesitant at first since it's a vegan restaurant, but after reading some of the reviews, I figured, why not give it a chance? I'm glad we did! I ordered: * Beer-Battered Avocado Tacos: These were probably my favorite! They were so flavorful and savory, and I was actually surprised by how satisfying they were. I definitely recommend ordering them. * Jackfruit Nachos: These were really good too! Everything tasted fresh, and there was a lot of flavor going on. My only small complaint was that the tortilla chips were a tad too salty for my preference. I think a little less salt would have made them even better. We also saved some room for dessert and tried their dessert with avocado chocolate mousse. It was definitely not something I would normally think to order, but it was an interesting mix. We were seated outside right next to the street, which was nice, but there was some construction happening at a nearby building or storefront. It did get a little noisy at times, so it's something to keep in mind if you're planning to sit outdoors. I'm sure it's temporary, but it can affect the atmosphere a bit. Overall, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the food here. Even if you're not vegan, I think it's worth giving them a try.

We stopped in for the delicious Avocado Tacos and got to experience the magic of "Tanner Tuesday"…read more If you're wondering what that is, the best way I can describe it is, you know how Seabirds is at the anti-mall? Well, "Tanner Tuesday" is the anti-Taco Tuesday. If you're looking for a standard "Taco Tuesday" experience, head across the street to The Taco Stand where the tacos are good, but the vibes are basic. Seriously even the name of the place is underwhelming. Anyway back to Seabirds and "Tanner Tuesday" THIS is where it's at! Go to Seabirds for Avocado, jackfruit or mushroom tacos on Tanner Tuesdays & make sure sure to sit somewhere where you'll be served by Tanner & Friends and thank me later. Seabirds is an award winning plant based restaurant with menu offerings that don't taste plant based. Their food is not processed, and they use quality ingredients.

I recently ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady Apples Salad, and while the ingredients were fresh and the salad tasted good, the portion was incredibly disappointing. The website shows a beautiful, generously portioned salad overflowing with ingredients. What I actually received was noticeably smaller, with significantly less lettuce and toppings, and a lot of empty space in the bowl. It honestly looked more like a side salad than a full entrée. I understand that promotional photos are styled, but there should still be some consistency between what's advertised online, displayed in-store, and actually served to customers - especially given the price. I've had much better experiences with portion sizes at other Mendocino Farms locations, which makes the inconsistency here even more frustrating. I've attached side-by-side photos so others can see the difference. I really enjoy Mendocino Farms and hope this location can address the portion inconsistencies and bring its standards in line with the other locations!

I wish there were slightly more mushrooms, only because I'm a big fan. The poke was DELISH. Definitely one of our favorites. Poke was fresh and the rest of the ingredients complimented the poke.

The food was excellent. We had the protein omelette and the breakfast burrito. The protein omelette was strong, and the Jurassic pork (sweet and savory seasoned bacon) stole the show there. Toast and fruit was well made and fresh. The burrito was where things went to the next level. Steak AND bacon in a burrito in this economy? Unbelievable. It was so rich and heavy I almost couldn't finish it. They didn't overcompensate for a lack of meat and eggs with a bunch of potatoes. The whole burrito was well balanced in that respect.
