Made a reservation for 9 people and were told we would be seated outside with heaters. No problem. When we arrived they tried to seat us at a table that had been rained on. Chairs were wet. Asked for a different table and were told we could sit in the bar. Fine. Crammed into half of a long table. Service was terrible. We understood they were busy. We weren't in a hurry but we had to practically beg to order drinks and food. Our server/bartender was less than thrilled to serve us and was very rude when we tried to split the check but I guess she didn't care as she had already added on her 18% for being a large party. Which would have been fine if we had been seated in the dining room and actually been waited on. This is the 3rd time I've been here and had issues with rude servers. Sadly, I won't be back. read more

Growing up in a Concord, Skips in Clayton was *always* our family spot to get my aunts, uncles, and cousins together. I have so many memories in that back patio area with the play structure and even remember way back when they used to give you dough you could play with (also they had sawdust all over the floor). I'm 24 now and living in Oakley, so incredibly happy a new location opened up right down the street! We ordered the pizza ahead of time and my partner picked it up on his way home. So easy! Pizza was perfect (Chicken Pepperado) and he even ordered two cocktails to-go. All food and drink was delish, so excited to have this staple right here in our backyard! read more

Service was terrible. Waited over 2 hours for a table, ended up taking our food to go. The soup was awful and the salad had black stuff on it. There was not supposed to be anything black on it. The bartenders were really nice though. read more

I live in Oakley so I've been to this Skip's many times. I've had various pizzas and non-pizza entries. Everything has always been top-notch delicious! Service is always friendly and efficient. I love the ambiance of this location. They have various indoor and outdoor settings, one even with a kid play place. If you get the chance, ask to sit in the upstairs patio area... Awesome! read more

Love this place for a family lunch! Service is great, lots of seating, toddler friendly, and a good amount food options on the menu. One of my favorite places to bring kids in the Brentwood/Oakley area. read more

I really wanted to love this place since it's so close to where I live but the food totally has gone downhill since it opened. Mediocre food, mediocre service (sometimes just awful)... even the gorgeous rooftop isn't enough to keep me from coming back here. Giving it 2 stars instead of 1 bec drinks are good and again, the rooftop is cool. Mentioning the same thing that I did on my previous review, this doesn't seem to be a problem at the other Skip's. The Clayton location is always on point. This place will somehow mess up a salad. read more

Skipolini's in Oakley is located in a little plaza on the corner of Main St. There is plenty of parking but it can fill up due to it being next to other restaurants and a Grocery outlet so I suggest coming on a weekday. I went on a nice Friday afternoon and they offer outside dining currently. They also have a sky deck that's also worth checking out! As for the food it was flavorful there was plenty of sauce for the pastas! The price range for pasta is the usual you'd expect around 16-18 dollars. They also serve Alcohol as it isn't on the menu so ask a server when you're there! I'd like to try other things on the menu so I'll definitely be swinging by again and get pick up instead. read more

Love this location. They have a play area for toddlers 3 and under which is so convenient for a mama wanting to get some good wings, pizza and a drink! The wings are so good have a spicy but sweet taste, the pizza was good. Me and my sister got a split pizza with half white sauce with artichoke and sun dried tomatoes and she got pepperoni. They're drinks are really good! A must try. read more

We have been to Skips in Clayton and Antioch over the decades but the Oakley location beats them all! It was a Saturday night so the place was packed so we ended up just ordering a Pizza to go but was pleased to see a full menu of pasta and even burgers! The bar was fun even just waiting for our pizza lol... This is not ur dad's old pizza joint it's much more plus our Pizza was excellent! read more

Insultingly bad service here. The pizza is pretty good, but the service is terrible. We were told the wait was 20-25 minutes (not bad on a Friday night) but we waited almost 40 minutes and watched about 5-10 parties check in after us and be seated before us. We told the hostess this and that we were going to take our business elsewhere. We then got seated immediately. Once seated, our waitress was terminally absent. We were able to order in a reasonable timeframe, but after ordering she left us to ourselves. That wasn't bad until we got our pizza, but we did not receive plates, silverware, or napkins. It took another 5 minutes until we could flag down a bar back to let our waitress know. There were other tables that had similar issues, such as missed dishes. I would get the takeout but I imagine it has its own issues. Unfair treatment and poor service make this place not worth the time and money. read more

I hate to do this but... Not sure if it's all the skips or just this one but it's become way too commercialized and gone down hill. I was going to the original skips since I was a kid. I called to make a to go order. When it a salad and was told they don't customize the salads anymore; they are all premade. Now, obviously you come here for the pizza but I've enjoyed their salads just as much for just as long. Sad! read more

Review #199 We're so glad that we have another good pizza option close to home. Tried this new location a couple weekends ago and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We ordered two medium pizza's one Margherita and the other was half vegetarian and half cheese pizza. Both pizzas were pretty good with fresh ingredients. I must say that the pizza dough was pretty darn good. The inside of the restaurant is really nice, can't wait to dine in here. The customer service was pretty good too. I entered through the door that's on Main Street but apparently there is a door in the back through the parking lot that's easier for pick up orders? The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 stars is because of the price. The two medium pizzas cost almost $50. I think that's a little bit on the high side. Other than that, we were pretty happy with our pizzas. read more

Love the food, the atmosphere and bar. Cassie is the best, always friendly and attentive!!!

We hosted a family party at this location and decided to rent out the second floor. It was a great place for everyone to meet with great food other than pizza. Our two servers (Sierra and Cassidy) were amazing and brought a great energy to the party and we all had a great time. Would recommend hosting a family gathering or party there, along with requesting Sierra and Cassidy as your servers. read more

I booked the outdoor space for my wife's retirement party. We had a turnout of 21 guests. The level of service of the staff in accomodating everyone was just outstanding! I want to especially thank Julia for going above and beyond for us...you were phenominal! I would give a 10 star rating if I could! read more

My father-in-law bought food from Skipolini's for my mother-in-law's birthday and everything was so delicious! Spaghetti with meatballs, bread, salad and pizza, MAMMA MIA IT'S A LOT OF FOOD!! It wasn't too salty, just a perfect blend. We were very happy with the quality and quantity of the food. read more

Pizza was barely warm, clam chowder was like a bowl of chunky warm milk, no flavor . Cajun pasta was good, service was painfully slow

We went to the Oakley location for the first time. The people were amazing! The staff was definitely not prepared for a busy Friday night however, they were very sweet, gracious and apologetic. The ambiance of this location is spacious and awesome for the Oakley area. You can bring family friends and business acquaintance. As for the food..... let's just say stick to pizza. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan with meatballs . I could barely get past my first bite into the eggplant with sauce. It tasted like a TV. Dinner gone bad. There is no Italian flavor whatsoever. I had my food boxed with the idea of putting Italian spices into my sauce once I got home . Skipolini's is skipping spices. Otherwise, it is an amazing place to have fun and pizza. read more

I reserved this spot for my 25th birthday dinner! I called on a Monday and my birthday fell on a Thursday. They told they could take my party of 20 no problem! When we get there the host says "there was a mix up so we will have to seat you separately" I was pretty irritated but my whole party was there so we made it work. We then see a party get up and this made it accessible for us to all sit together so they agree and we moved. It was an east move we had no menus, no table set up nothing. Once we are seated we get ONE server for 20 people ONE. I understand that there are staff shortages but if you didn't have the staff why did you take on such a large party. We ended up having just ONE server the entire night for 20 of us you can imagine the chaos. Our services was okay it was minimal: the food was okay, drinks came out super late, some appetizers never made it out & to top it all of we were there for like 4 hours! Getting our check took about 1 hour. A JOKE. Everyone was ready to go but we had to wait extremely long to get our tab. I really like their drinks and it's a cute spot but this made me not want to go back. So beware of you are going with a large group it'll be a while for EVERYTHING they may even forget about your reservation. read more

Tried Skipolini's for the first time on Valentine's Day. The decor was trendy, definitely not Expecting such a nice atmosphere, we were impressed! We sat on the Sky Deck.

Every experience at this location has been negative. We have ordered to go and had soggy pizza. We have dined in twice and both experiences were horrible. The first time we were forgotten at a table in the corner, had to ask for everything (to take our order, forks, plates, drinks). The drinks took a very long time and the food arrived before the drinks. The waitress could tell we were unhappy and we told her why. She blamed the bar and she said to give them a second chance so we did. BUT, the second visit was even worse than the first. Once we sat down it took 10 minutes for someone to even notice us. The tables next to us had the same complaints. Once the food arrived we had to ask for forks and plates. We were ignored for about 90 minutes until finally someone asked us how we were. We ordered another round of drinks which turned out so disgusting we asked for a refund. We waited another hour for someone to noice us again. During all the wait time, we watched two waitresses walk back and forth giving the illusion that they were busy. The bar tender and waitresses hid by the soda machine with other male employees. At one point we watched them throw pens at each other from across the room. At a different time the bar tender threw ice at a patron sitting at the bar from across the bar multiple times getting ice all over the floor. The waitresses flirted with customers instead of walking around checking on customers. Once we finally got the bill we had to walk up to the bar to have our card scanned because no one came to the table. It was like they knew they were doing a bad job but at the same time did not care that they were doing a bad job. We spend 2.5 hours there, mostly being ignored, and watching employees do nothing. read more

Super bad service by the server giving my table to someone else they know after 40 minutes wait when my turn came we reached to the table but its already occupied by someone without knowledge of attendee and told us to wait more 40 minutes read more

I went to that location for the first time yesterday and I couldn't have been more pleased. Our server Alma was helpful and gracious. I ordered a pull pork sandwich and garlic fries.

Came here for the second time in the last week and it didn't disappoint. I went to the bar tonight and was served by Kris. Let me tell you, SHE. WAS.INCREDIBLE. I've been in the industry before so I know what it's like to be swamped by guests and tickets. She handled it like a champ. Not only was she attentive, but the drinks she was slinging were incredible. I was also lucky enough to meet the daytime bartender Sierra. Even off of her shift she was happy to give me food/drink recommendations and just offered some great conversation and laughs. My experience tonight was nothing but ideal. I got to meet the owner first hand, who I saw actually spinning pizza dough in the kitchen just moments earlier. This is going to be the start to something monumental. Skips in Oakley is a whole new breed of hospitality and dining. It's a must see read more

No just no. We went on a Wednesday afternoon after kids got out. Not more than 6 people other than us at the restaurant. The service was so poor we were forgotten. We asked to have our bill split from the beginning, never got drink refills, never got ketchup or ranch, took far too long for everything. Didn't get any kind of apology. The very same day my credit card was Copied and charges put on my card. read more

Came here for the first time and it's been such an amazing experience! The Skips Blonde was delicious!! We ordered a pizza, salad, and wings which was so so so good and came out very fast!

Also, sit sit at sky deck.. the view is amazing!!! read more

This restaurant in the little town I live in was my favorite place since it opened. Matter of fact ate there their week week and dozens of times since. Recommended to scores of people. I am retired and have had even the nicest times there with family and friends Today December 23 around 12 noon had 2 of my grandkids 10 and 12 they wanted to have lunch there. We sat in the bar area and there was only one other customer in that area. Actual the restaurant was very empty. The server behind the bar greeted us and was super got our drinks and took our order. 20 minutes passed 30 minutes passed when it got to be 45 minutes I asked what was going on. Our order was simple lunch sandwiches. She said I know, and saw I was very disappointed she asked if I wish to talk to the mgr I said yes bring me my billed and cancel our order. The manager came out a few minutes later and begun to explain why, I stopped him, and told him it was inexcusable and if they were not open for business put a sign on the door. I also told him no one was aware of us waiting so long till I asked. There were many servers all about with very few customers. I told him I loved coming there but no more. I asked to pay for our drinks and the pre made salad I had been served nearly 40 minutes ago. He refused. He listened with respect. As I left I stop to thank the barkeeper , she literally in to me telling me I had no right to talk to her manager that way. Her tone was angry and vindictive. As we left my grandkids couldn't understand her attitude. I was firm and direct with the man that was manager but in the spirit of a disappointed loyal customer. Never raising my voice. Sadly they have lost this customer. Who was their guest and treated as if a senior citizen and his 2 young grandkids were invisible and very unimportant. read more

Their Cajun pasta is amazing!! Also, we love their calamari and jalapeño poppers as appetizers! :) Enjoy!

Very very disappointed in their service. We sat at the bar and the bar maids took care of the regulars but paid no attention to us. The only interaction was when we first sat down they took our drink and food order, but realized shortly after she didn't put our food order in. Order another drink and it wasn't as good as the first and was missing garnish. The whole time we were eating we were never asked how the food was or if we needed anything. We had to ask for plates, napkins, and silverware. The bar maids were playing dice with the regulars and didn't pay any attention to anyone else. When the bill came I was charged $51 for 2 old forester old fashions, $45 for the drinks and $6 for a supposed charge of an extra half ounce. When we've been there before sitting at a table that's never happened. Everytime I sit at the bar I get overcharged for drinks. read more

Nice looking place. Great servers but the food was just OK. The brussel sprouts appetizers was crispy, burnt and dry. The pizza was just ok and the pasta dish with chicken was served luke warm. The environment and aesthetics did not meet the expectations for food quality. read more

Very disappointed in this place. Second time I come and they still disappointed me. The first time they made us wait for a table. When they sat us down the server was taking long to take our orders. When the bartender noticed they let him know. After we got our appetizer they took long to get our pizza not joking (more than an hour). We ended up taking it to go. Today we got there at 7:15p they said 35 minute wait (sure) we are only two. I see that they were sitting down party of 4 and on just cause they only had those tables for them. They sat everybody after us and they said to wait 8 more minutes. We got tired of it and we walked away and went to eat somewhere else. Never again. read more

I came to this restaurant for the first time for a birthday party. I was already amazed with the exterior and outdoor seating and how beautiful everything was, but then I saw a play structure and that gives this place ten stars! A fancy restaurant with a play structure: genius! Thank you for being an upscale restaurant and welcoming families! We were looking for a party and we walked everywhere, we did not see them. This place was huge! We were told there was an upstairs, and what an amazing space upstairs! There was even had an outdoor balcony with a beautiful painted waterfall wall! If you're looking for a large place to throw a party, this is it! The appetizers we had was a bread with vinegar and oil and seasonings. This bread was delicious and freshly baked! Another appetizer we had was the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers! They were so delicious and they did taste more high-quality than once you might get from a chain restaurant. I ordered the shrimp scampi, it was very good! My friends ordered from the healthier sides of the menu: A grilled chicken. My friends also ordered the wedding soup, and a sausage soup. Everyone loved what they had! We had a very nice server. I did not catch her name but she has flowers printed on the inside of her ear. She was so nice that we all wanted to be her friend lol. Here are a few pictures of the atmosphere! There were many things on the menu that I would like to return to try! And I'll definitely bring my husband here and we can enjoy a play date and let our kids play! Yay no babysitter fees, now we could just spend our money at this restaurant! read more

I'd need to try this place again to give a fair review. I'm new to the area and looking for a good pizza spot so I ordered a couple pizzas here as it seemed popular. I wasn't disappointed per say just not a fan. Not sure if it's the sauce or the crust but the ingredients were fresh, tasty plenty of them and pizza was good sized my kids seemed to enjoy so I gave it 4 stars. Maybe I'll try in restaurant and something besides pizza? read more

Food was much better this time in the service was better. I still prefer Concord but will give the Oakley location another try

Food was yummy, but the service was slow. Overall though I'd be back. Mushroom pizza was delish!
