This place is terrible! This place isn't as good as it used to be and their burgers were dry, and tasted like dog food. Pizza was just average -- nothing special. Service was also Lackluster and there's no excuse for denying it. There's definitely better options for pizza out there. I do not recommend going here! read more

I am not sure why the ratings on this Skipolini's are what they are. We had a great meal and the service was prompt. The lasagna I ordered was the best I've had in a long time. The pizzas we ordered were very good. The gluten free crust was very tasty. We will be back. read more

Ever since this location opened its doors, I've been a fan. I host an event there every year- faithfully. Great food, good people. Great times. ill admit : has there been a time when I wasn't so happy with food temperature? Sure, but just speak up and say something- management made it right. read more

I came here for an event and reserved the upper floor at 1PM on 6/23, and the service was much slower than usual. How is it that they only have one person working the event for a party size of 80 people? They barely refilled the food throughout the 2 hours, the drinks were never refilled in addition the food did not come out until 1:45 pm when we made reservations from 1pm-3pm. They need to staff these big events, I felt so bad for the only person working the event. The bartender was super sweet but she can definitely use the support. I loved coming here for hosting private events and we've had two other events that went perfectly fine, but this time I'm questioning on whether to bring my business here or not. The manger was super unprofessional and not accommodating. Again big props to the bartender for doing an amazing job. read more

The food is Great and so are the drinks!! It's a bit loud but the atmosphere is nice. The service was very good and attentive.

Hip hop hooray, oh No, this ain't the place, to Go..! It's more of a fashion show than a pizzeria. The young ladies posing as hostess was too funny. As they were counting their tips as I walked in. First of all my order was not ready when I arrived. After taking the Olgiasca pizza and their Garlic Bread home. Let me say I was a really disappointed, the chicken was extra dry and a bit burnt on the ends and the pizza itself seemed to have the bare minimal amount of sauce on it. This place is no where near as good as the Antioch location by far. Wasted some money here. You live and you learn. Won't be returning to this location. I know where to go from now on. Point proven Skipolini's. Support your local establishments read more

One of my fave pizza places and 4 stars because service is hit or miss but more often a hit

I specifically asked the waiter, Steven, if we could order off the lunch menu and he said yes. then, 15 min later he came ba ck and told us we cannot. He should know, it was disappointing . .we waited forever for our meal. Service was great after the mix up about the lunch menu. I think the rest aurant should have allowed it after he said yes and not come back to the table and say everything is going to cost more and no salad. read more

Really unhappy with our experience here tonight. We used to come here every few weeks but the last few times we haven't had good service. Tonight we walked in with 2 adults and one child and were asked inside or outside and said whichever is quicker. We were told inside was 30 minutes and outside was an hour due to large reservations that night. We said inside. About 20 minutes in a group the same size that came in after us got seated. 10 more minutes in, a group of 4 that also came after us got seated. When I approached the hostess another 5 minutes later I was given attitude and she argued with me about seating people before us saying they had chosen to sit outside and the wait time for that was less now. I walked inside and saw that both parties that came after us without reservations were sitting inside. About 10 minutes later we were sat upstairs. There was a party on the patio so the door outside was open and it was extremely cold. We had a good waitress and the pizza was good, but it'll be awhile until we're back. read more

Joe, our server, was the bomb! Not only does he get kudos for recognizing half our party as repeat customers and welcoming them back, he checked on us so many times to make sure we had everything we needed. He even noticed from across the room that one of our girls' drink was not what she ordered purely from the look on her face when she took a sip and had it corrected immediately. 5 stars for Joe! I started off with the Fire of Olympus. Talk about sweet heat! I could feel the burn from the jalapeño down my throat. I liked it! I munched on my friend's fagiolini fritti (fried green beans) and spinach artichoke dip. Both yummy with quite an unexpected spicy kick to them. The lasagna with the bolognese was fantastic! Hearty, beefy, saucy. I would definitely order this again! Love the cute interior of the restaurant and ample outdoor patio seating on the ground floor as well as the second! They even have a few cornhole boards set up outside. Hopefully, the wind will die down so we can enjoy it next time. The only issue we had was we were initially seated at a dirty table with the AC cranking full blast overhead. We asked if we could change tables, and we were accommodated without issue. Will be back to try other items. I'll be sure to ask to be seated in Joe's section too! read more

I really want to love Oakley Skips but time after time the hostess are rude, the service is mediocre, they just lack the good old service that the owner strives for. The food is always good, but we much prefer service over food. read more

This was my first time being here and I wasn't a complete fan of it because of the prices. 17.00+~ for a personal pizza that was just average. I could get unlimited toppings for 10$ at a Pieology. 9$ for a that small cup of margarita that didn't really stand out too much with the flavors. I came here to hang out with some gals so that was the most enjoyable part of my experience here. I also really appreciated the waitresses, they were really friendly and did a great job taking care of all 8 of us and made us feel welcomed the entire time. Overall, I wouldn't come back because of the prices. I think there's just better places to go where you can get more bang for your buck. read more

Skipolini’s Oakley - Half combination and hawaiian pizza with a fresh fruit margarita - Pizza Near Me - Oakley, California

The pizza itself is excellent! So good! The best! It's the service that sucks. The service would be a negative 10 if that was an option. They're fully staffed. That's not the problem. The problem is that the employees are sitting around socializing with each and other, and not paying attention to their customers. For example, it took forever to get our pizza, I'd say it made it to our table around 30+ minutes after ordering it. The server drops the pizza off and 10 mins later we actually have to flag an employee down for plates. Was our group supposed to eat pizza off of napkins or thin air? Weird. Everything was slow or neglected. The pizza? Yummy! All the stars are for the cooks/chefs. Another time. I ordered the pizza for pickup. I was starving. I got dressed, and braved the night cold. Got there...and the employees inform me that they don't have my pizza. They closed early due to their company event. WTH???? They didn't even call me to cancel my order! I don't live next door! The manager tells me he will refund my account, and I can get a 20% discount "next visit". 20% off???? I deserve a free fkn pizza!!! So yeah, love the food...but that's it. It's really unfortunate that they have terrible staff. The food is quite good and I would go to there more if they had better staff. And yes, I've also been to the Antioch location, but I like the way the pizza chefs in Oakley make it. read more

I gave this a 3/5 stars. Wait times were a bit long and unfortunately appetizers came out same time as pizzas so that wasn't great. They are definitely pricey! We did dine in, visit was late June 2024. 5 people with 1 mixed drink 2 appetizers and 2 Family/Large pizzas came out to roughly $141. The dip bread was not good in my opinion. Focaccia was dry and the olive oil balsamic vinegar dip was nothing special. We also ordered the fried ravioli which was roughly 8 pieces. They forgot to bring us the creamy marinara dip for it so that was that. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and Olgiasca. The Olgiasca was really good! The pepperoni was basic. Overall visit was tad rushed because it was almost closing time and waitress was not at all attentive to us or our table, but we still tipped nicely. Can't say I would be back for dining. Maybe takeout only for their specialty pizzas. read more

Normally I love bbq pizza with pineapple on it but I saw the bbq chicken pizza today and wanted to try it. I hate onions. I hate onions so horribly. And I don't like green peppers either but I went with my mom and she likes them so I asked for this: Can I please have a bbq chicken pizza with no onions and add pineapple. Could we also get the green peppers only on half. Why did I have onions all over my pizza I wanted to cry but that's not it. It took like 40 minutes only for my appetizer and by the time my pizza came out my one small pizza with onions I'd been there for 2 hours and they were closing. No ranch. They completely forgot about my salad. I really wanted a salad. I got a lovely chicken Caesar and then after the pizza came out I asked her where the salad was and she just said oh no!! She knows it's her fault. I want my salad. And my time and money ;ambiance was horrible. read more

I Must say I was very pleasantly surprised.Being pescatarian's we ordered a family size all veggies, and a family size tossed salad. Food was excellent, service is friendly and the place is extremely clean. Since then we have been back a few times. read more

Redeemed. Friday night dinner with friends. Started with skips dip, margarita, prego, and black and blue. Service was amazing this time around. The restaurant was buzzing, packed out the door and waitress did not miss any refills, napkins, or boxes to go. We ordered (3) three small pizzas and each came out perfectly crispy and chewy crust. The black and blue pizza was actually my favorite with the mushrooms and sausage. Our friends were first timers and they loved every bite. General manager Victor introduced himself and gave us history on Skipolini's and was super friendly and welcoming. We assured him we would come back again and try out the sky deck and outside seating areas. There's a second menu page with pastas and appetizers we have yet to try. Service and quality pizza tonight. read more

Went to dinner with friends Friday night. I had the shrimp pasta, hubby had some other pasta dish, kids shared a pizza and our friends had chicken piccata and a personal pizza. We sat upstairs which was very night. There was a large group so it was pretty loud. If you want a quiet conversation downstairs might be better. The outside space is beautiful! There's a playground for the kids. My friend is hosting a party there soon so I'll update the review with that info. read more

Let me just say that I am SUPER Excited that Skipolini's is now in Oakley. I grew up in the East Coast NY/NJ and I have been very picky about pizza out here in California. What makes a great pizza???? Well folks... it's the GRAVY ( and that's SAUCE for most people). Skipolini's has great sauce and to follow comes great dough crust and thickness. I'm a foldable slide kind of gal and that's exactly what I did when I ate my first take-out order from Skipolini's. Today's order: 2 Medium Pies Combination: Ground Beef, Salami, Pepperonj, Mushrooms, Olives, Bell Peppers, Onions and Sausage Margherita: Garlic infused olive oil, Basil, Mozzarella Cheese, and Roma Tomatoes I asked for extra "Sauce" for my Margherita and I was not disappointed. The crust was still crunchy (not burnt) on the outside and yet soft inside. They are definitely generous on my mozzarella. But oh Mannnggg... I can't say it enough ... their Gravy/Sauce (tomato sauce) is so delicious. You can actually see chunks of tomatoes besides the slices of tomatoes on my slices. If you like simple pizza... do yourself a favor and taste the Margherita! You won't regret it. Combination was just as good and portions of meat ratio to veggies are great. My hubby ordered on the phone. Staff was very helpful considering this was my hubby's first time having Skipolini's and she answered all his questions. Covid Pickup: 1. Pickup is located at the back of the restaurant 2. Tent and table setup for pickup 3. Hand Sanitizers available on table 4. Staff all wearing masks and gloves 5. Staff is very organized in getting orders ready 6. Asked for name for next customer to pay 7. After payment, another staff member brings out the order Skipolini's Pizza may have opened up during Covid times but they are doing Awesome!! From their delicious pizza to their service to customers, we will be a regular customer to support our quaint town of Oakley! Please come out and support them! Let's keep them motivated to stay open!! 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

Slow service. Never got my calamari. High prices. It was my birthday this weekend and wanted to stay close to home but I left so disappointed. It's just not worth it and that's too bad since it's a local business and I like to support local businesses. read more

I came home to my husband saying let's go out to eat tonight a a nd so I said sure! Then we drive over to an area we go to for lunch a lot and he pulls into a parking spot and says, we're going to Skips. My reaction was a but shocked as we lived next to two other Slip locations for years and he never wanted to go. As we walk up, I chuckle as there was a corn whole game set up on the small lawn area on the side of the building. Then as we walked up to the front, my husband opens the door and I step in. Thats when my jaw drops to the floor. I was not expecting a swank upscale restaurant, full bar, see through kitchen, upstairs patio area with another full bar, outside dining and regular dining tables as well. This place was beautiful and made the other two look run down. So we asked the bar tenders for the drink special and was suggested to try their version of a jalapeño margarita! IT WAS EPIC! Spicy and Sweet with neither overpowering the other. And then the chicken and capers with linguini!!!! SOOOOOOO DELISH! NEEDLESS TO SAY, Im going back for SURE! Great service as well. this will be a new favorite of mine! read more

Skipolini’s Oakley - Spicy jalapeño but SWEET!! soo delish! - Pizza Near Me - Oakley, California

Went here after getting married. Server didn't ask us anything personal at all. She was more concerned about a party outside. Drinks took 15 minutes and food took almost 30. Ordered meatballs that arrived at the table cold in the center. They just microwaved them at brought them back. It wasn't fun, inviting, or hospitable. I regret tipping and won't be back. If I hadn't just gotten married, that probably would have ruined my night. read more

We were marched around the premises only to end up outside only to end up on dirty tables they said wait for them to be bussed. 2 or 3 people came out over 30 mins deciding who was going to clean. We were then sat at a wet slightly cleaned table and waited around 15 minutes for a waiter. Who began his speel with write a good review for free cheese bread. Then disappeared. Returned with water pitcher but not enough for the whole table. Still not taking our order mentioned again the review and left. Returned to take order but only drinks and said he'd brb... we were definitely ready to order. Another 10 minutes or more and he returns to take order. Takes our order and disappears again. After some time our food came. The pasta was very watery and appetizer was burnt. The waiter never returned to refill drinks. Or bring ranch and peppers etc until our food was basically done. He smelled of weed... he again brought up leaving a great review and mention his name etc but in my head I was like I can't lie and I'll post once we're done here. I miss the covid clean times for sure when restaurants were meticulous with tables etc read more

Called in order they said 20 minutes and I ended up standing outside for an extra 30 minutes. Just how I wanted to spend my Sunday

Food and service is great! We love Gio! We love coming here for pizza and the skips dip! We come here for birthdays and celebrations on the regular. Highly recommend. read more

This is the second time we have been to this restaurant, the first to eat in and today to get take out. If you want food to arrive within a reasonable time DO NOT eat at this place. We waited 20 minutes for a small salad and a side of fries, after 20 minutes I asked the hostess to check on my food and she came back with a warm salad and soft fries. There is a strange set up to this place, lots of employees chatting to each other and not much else getting done. I tried to have eye contact with 2 of their employees that ignored me!!! Won't be going back. read more

I'm not sure whether to give this a 4 star or 3 star because the preggo pizza that supposedly helps kick start labor doesn't. It is however super delicious .

Came in for a pizza on a Friday night. Waited an hour for a table, understandable on a Friday night. Got seated and aft are a few minutes wait our order was take.

Omg.... this place is nasty... let's start off at the uncleaned table which was sticky and still had sauce.. then the menu that pretty much was the same ( smelly and sticky definitely old beer).. The kids play place had handprints and grime on it.Probably since it was first put there.Extra disgusting. Especially when eating hand food. Also kinda weird the management had their 4 kids and wife( youngist goin bananas screaming continously banging the outside heater mom on her phone lettingem run wild), there eating just about everything on the menu and a To-go stuffed pizza box that came after alllllllllll the other half wasted food. Probably not paid for.. this place is absolutely gross I couldn't even order. My wife ordered our daughter a kids pepperoni with moldy cheese I guess... for the location it's a major letdown.. yall need to practice cleanliness from top to bottom and higher someone that won't turn it into their home (dirty home).. I literally had to shower after this experience I felt so gross.. never again!!! read more

Love the upstairs space for bday dinners or small gatherings! Beautiful space, yummy food!

A few nights ago I ate a large meat lovers Pizza. The entire top of the pizza was covered with meat. It was delicious. So tonight I ordered a Family Size meat lovers Pizza for takeout. When I got home I was surprised at the little amount of meat that was on the Pizza. Mind you, it cost $44.00 and the tip pushed it over $50.00. Never again, I know I can get a better pizza elsewhere for half the money? read more

This will be my go-to Skipolini's from now on! It is much nicer than the other ones I have been to in the area. I love the outdoor seating area with a play area. We sat right next to it as the little ones played there. The pizza was great as usual! It just tastes so much better fresh instead of bringing it home. My daughter was there for the Prego pizza- no it didn't work for her,though she was hoping! But the rest of us liked it anyway( we asked for no ham on ours though). Love their fresh tasting pizzas. Besides the actual restaurant itself, this location has a better selection of options. We had calamari that was practically inhaled immediately! On point calamari- light batter. Next time I want to try their entrees- like chicken Marsala! I would suggest having chicken parmigiana added to their menu and I for sure be coming all the time here! The service here was great! So many helpers offering help because the waitress was busy. They were all gracious. My family loves Skipolini's and I like it is family owned and want to support local businesses. read more
