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

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.

This is definitely one of my favorite Italian spots for any time of the day, but I especially love coming here during the winter. There's just something about the cozy, warm, family feeling that makes it even better.

It felt like the perfect neighborhood Italian joint, not too prissy at all but comfortable and warm. Our server Caden was super friendly and attentive! He recommended the pink sauce which was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our food and the portions were very generous! I was also in heaven as a vegetarian, as most of the pastas are already vegetarian, and you can add protein for an extra charge. So there were so many options which was really exciting for me haha. The cherry on top of our amazing meal was when they brought out warm cookies for us with our check. It was such a nice touch that we appreciated :) Would definitely come back here!!

For dinner, I had the penne pesto with chicken, which was full of flavor and so good. Our friends ordered a gluten-free pasta dish and gluten-free pizza, and they absolutely loved both.

The service was quick, friendly, and efficient, making the whole experience even better. We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back!

Really Good Food, With a Few Misses…read more We had a reservation and arrived right when they opened. Overall, we had a really good meal. The service was good--not amazing, but certainly nothing to complain about--and pretty much everything we ordered was very good. We started with the calamari and added the "five jumbo shrimp" for an extra $8. The calamari itself was excellent, especially with the red sauce that comes with it. The only disappointment was the shrimp. They were definitely not what I would consider jumbo--actually pretty small. We ran into the same issue later when I added five shrimp to my bucatini. The focaccia was a 10/10. Absolutely amazing. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Both salads we ordered were huge and delicious. Great portions and really fresh. Now, the pizza. I'm a pizza snob, and this was very close to the pizza I've had in Italy. The dough was perfectly chewy with a really nice char underneath, and the toppings were excellent. My wife ordered the Martina, which had mozzarella, pepperoni, red onion, oregano, crushed red pepper, arugula and truffle oil. It was a lot going on in one bite, and honestly pretty difficult to pick up and eat, but that's part of the deal with Neapolitan pizza. All of those flavors came together really well. My dad had the lasagna, my two kids split a cheese pizza, and I ordered the bucatini and added porcini mushrooms. The porcini mushrooms were fantastic and really elevated the pasta. One other thing worth mentioning: two people at our table ordered the local blonde beer, and both beers came out with an excessive amount of foam. They were waiting around 10 minutes for their beers, and a lot of the beer was essentially going down the drain because of the foam. Hopefully that was just a one-off issue. Overall, we had a great meal and I would definitely come back. The food was the star of the show, especially the focaccia, salads and pizza. The shrimp situation was disappointing considering the "jumbo" description and extra charge, and there were a couple of service/beverage issues, but neither would keep me from returning.

We ordered the kids' spaghetti with meat sauce and mushrooms along with a Caesar salad topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Everything arrived fresh, flavorful, and well packaged.

I am late to write this review but we have been coming to romano since it opened on the peninsula…read more They have die hard staff who have stayed since they opened and I love that when we dine here, we recognize the staff. Here are some of the dishes that we just can't get enough of. Our usual go to's are: sauteed mushrooms appetizer, pesto fettucine with shrimp and the chicken parmesan with rosa sauce. Please do not skip dessert. Their cheesecake is one of the best I've ever had (including NYC cheesecake). Each month they have a different flavor cheesecake and literally every flavor we have tried has been phenomenal. We even ordered a full pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving ($90) and it was the star of the dinner. Our entire dinner party LOVED the cheesecake.

Our waitress was so nice, checking up on us if we needed anything throughout our time there. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant!
