So we went to try Skipolini's Pizza because we heard about their famous Prego pizza and we had a family member who was trying to go into labor. We made our way to the restaurant yesterday afternoon and were luckily able to find street parking right by it. The restaurant itself was actually pretty empty for a Thursday afternoon, understandably so. But the server that attended to us was quick and seemed happy to answer our questions about items on the menu. While the Prego Pizza unfortunately did not work to start my cousin's labor (at least at this point 24hrs later haha) it was very delicious! It came loaded with a bunch of different toppings and they weren't kidding when they said they put a lot of garlic! Even though this pizza did not induce labor, I'd be happy to come back and try more of their menu offerings in the future. read more

Drove 1 hr to get the pregnancy pizza and although it didn't necessarily work, the pizza was great! Totally worth the drive. Just FYI that this pizza place is a pick up only so don't expect to sit in and eat! read more

We came here after a hectic day and wanted to decompress with comfort food. Skipolini's hit the spot for us! We had a combination pizza with sliced zucchini added. The pizza was delicious, with very fresh ingredients and a crust that was not too thick or bready topped with our favorite ingredients on it. I was pleased that it was not too salty. Skipolini's is the home of the legendary labor inducing Prego pizza. Go on the website if you would like to hear the story. The service was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely come back when I'm craving more pizza. read more

This would be a repeat place for me if I lived in Walnut Creek. The interior is large, and there's outdoor seating too. While the tables and chairs are a little on the old side, service is fantastic and speedy. You can tell from the picture that we chose the Prego Pizza for its magical powers and while it didn't fully do the trick, it was still nice to get a huge combo pizza. They definitely don't skimp on any ingredients, and the pizzas are made to order. We had a good time and would definitely return. read more

Went for the labor pizza and even thought it didn't work for me, I had a wonder experience. Staff was welcoming and helpful, gave us some recommendations on the menu and they did not disappoint. Not a lot of customers when we went but still had an amazing vibe. Didn't take pictures of the rest of the food we ordered but everything was so good!! Definitely recommend!! read more

Prego Pizza! Ordered for pickup and was on time This pizza had a lot of toppings, so much meat and I appreciated the extra onions and garlic. It's the kind of pizza you'd eat with a fork and knife because the center kind of breaks down, which is fine by me, if rather have the pizza loaded. Overall it was a hearty tasty pizza, however there were some spots that were intermittently super salty , so the slices weren't very consistent in terms of taste I'm still pregnant (39+6) and it didn't induce labor these past few days for me but it's a fun idea! Back to walking I go read more

Craving pizza today and ordered a pizza online. Went to pick up after target time and although there was only patrons inside it took a while for the pizza to come out. The pizza itself was solid. We got a combination pizza. Plentiful toppings and flavorful slices. Some of the edges of the pie was a little too chewy, so that took a while to eat. Overall good pizza at this local chain. read more

Good pizza but it's sad how quiet it is. Walnut Creek staple but it's just not in our restaurant rotation

We went here for dinner to try the preggo pizza. We were seated pretty quickly for a party of 8, the staff were nice and accommodating. This place is pretty big with a large outdoor seating in the back. We got the spinach dip and soup of the day as appetizers. We got the preggo pizza and the margarita pizza. Both were really good. I'd recommend coming here. read more

Came to Skipolini's last night for dinner with my former boss, based upon his recommendation. They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options out back, and we apparently arrived at a good day, as he stated that Skipolini's tends to fill up to capacity during the weekends. We opted for outdoor seating, which was clean, covered with an umbrella, with heat lamps nearby for when it starts to get chilly. They have a beautiful fountain outside, as well as a side area with slides for the kids, as well as several arcade and claw machines. Service was very friendly, attentive, and the waitress came by to check on us periodically throughout the meal. She was very efficient, and was quick to both refill our drinks, as well as to bring out our orders. We decided to order two medium pizzas to share between the two of us. One All Meat Pizza, which was heavily loaded with Salami, Pepperoni, Ham, Bacon, Linguisa, Sausage and Ground Beef. And one Combination Pizza, which was topped with Salami, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Olives, Bell Peppers, Onions, Sausage and Ground Beef. Both pizzas were delicious, had thick crusts, toppings were fresh, and the combinations went well together. Will definitely be stopping by Skipolini's more often now, whenever I find myself back in the Walnut Creek area! read more

Seriously the best pizza dough for homemade pizza we've ever bought. So delicious!! We're never spending $30 on a single pizza again. I'd add a picture but we ate through two pizza already. read more

Oh no! The horror... children actually HAVING FUN at a clean, enclosed, covered, and designated outdoor play area--complete with arcade machines--at a FAMILY-FRIENDLY restaurant. I can't imagine the tragedy of stumbling into an establishment specifically designed for both kids and parents to enjoy! I LOVE this place. As a parent--or simply a reasonable human being--being able to eat my delicious, gourmet pizza while it's still warm (a rare luxury) and enjoy a fresh salad and drinks without negotiating over stickers with tiny humans? That's what I call a miracle. This restaurant is nothing short of revolutionary--a safe space where families can come together and actually enjoy a meal. A place where kids can learn real-life skills, like making their own pizza and (shocker!) actually wanting to eat it? Groundbreaking. Not a parent? Dislike young children? Find yourself critiquing how others choose to parent their kids while eating in public? Allergic to the sounds of childhood joy? Great news! There's a beautiful, spacious INDOOR seating area where you can enjoy peace, quiet, and high-quality, gourmet pizza with incredible service. Speaking of incredible--shoutout to the amazing staff. No matter how busy they are, EVERYONE checks in on you with a smile and top-tier service. Special mention to Alyssa--her warmth and hospitality could teach every fine dining establishment in the Bay Area a thing or two about customer service. And Jose--always welcoming, always helpful, and always making sure we have a great experience. Cheers to great pizza, good vibes, top-notch service, and the sound of childhood joy! read more

It's a family tradition of ours to come here when we are pregnant for the prego pizza. I had this pizza with both of my pregnancies. With my first I did go in to labor 2 days after. With my 2nd I didn't go into labor until a week later. It's just fun to go and celebrate the baby and eat delicious prego pizza. The prego pizza has so many toppings and is so delicious! I also love the house salad! It has beets, garbanzo beans, onions and your choice of dressing. Kids also get to build their own pizza. My kids chose to make their own with cheese and olives. They love making their own creation! The inside is very calm, warm and inviting. The parking is a bit of a hassle. There isn't a lot of street parking and there is a parking garage around the corner. We can't wait to come back! read more

The restaurant was nice and the staff friendly. It was fairly empty on a Sunday evening so the service was quick. But the three stars are for the pizza. We got a half veggie/half creamy pesto and the veggies were almost raw. It was kind of awful to eat raw zuchini and raw mushrooms. The creamy pesto hardly had any flavor of pesto. The crust was good but overall the pizza came out cold, which was odd. The pizza will be much better tomorrow when I bake it and heat it properly. We're not going back. read more

Been eating pizza 30 plus years and for 20 of them I'd argue this is usually the best pizza. Great crust. Great toppings.

Came here for a double graduation celebration..cute patio area with the little arcade/play area. Combo and Hawaiian pizzas were tasty. The lasagna was heavy but flavorfully good. My only take away on a star was because the only thing they had for dessert was chocolate chip cookies. I was hoping they had tiramisu or spumoni ice cream especially on hot days. It would've been perfect. All in all, their pizzas are really good..I'd come back.. read more

A day before my due date and I decided to try the legendary Prego Pizza. We had a party of 8 and we got seated immediately outside as it looked like there were a bunch of reserved tables inside. They had a tent setup with heaters, which was fine for my group. *note* please check around for parking signs/meters because we got a parking ticket after we checked around if we had to pay............. Between us all we ordered 2 large pizzas - Prego and the Martinelli. 2 Cesar salads for the table and we had 2 kids with us so 1 ordered the lasagna and the other ordered a kid's pizza (super cute, they brought it out to him uncooked so he can decide how much cheese he wanted to put on it, then once he was done they baked it!). If you do your research and look up what's on the Prego pizza, it's literally just a bunch of toppings that supposedly induce labor. I forced myself to eat 3 slices. About a day and a half later, nothing yet. Maybe it worked for some, but not all. Unfortunately for me what stood out the most was the poor service. Everything was so slow. It took forever for us to get anything -- napkins, utensils, drinks... We had our Cesar salads in front of us for like 5 minutes with nothing to eat it with. Overall kind of a subpar experience. Not to mention the Prego pizza gave me extreme nausea and diarrhea the following day. Again, may have worked for some, but definitely not for me. read more

Okay.... my wife was late for her due date so we decided to check this legendary preggo pizza. There is no science behind this but it freaking worked! Day: Breakfast with wife. Morning hike. Preggo pizza for lunch Walk. Light dinner Walk 3AM. Here comes baby. The pizza itself was pretty darn good. My two year old really liked it and so did my wife. Again, I'm sure there needs to be more data to come to a scientific conclusion that one would accept. But it freaking worked! Thanks Skipolini's! read more

Skipolini's Pizza - Put to the test and passed. - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We took our son and his buddies here for his Birthday dinner and it was a huge success. We found the service to be exceptional. I had to switch our reservations a few times and they did it without any questions asked. We sat in the back patio which was a great spot since we had some happy, excited, full of energy young boys with us. The service was great! Our waitress was very attentive and checked in quite frequently. The pizza was good, not great as usual. We ordered a few large pizzas and found it to have too much red sauce and not enough cheese. Overall, we had a fantastic time and we love Skips and will definitely be back! read more

I love Pizza!! Who doesn't, am I right? First time I tried Skipolini's Pizza was a few years ago, recently I remembered how good it was and when I'm in or around Walnut Creek, I'll order a pizza and salad to go or delivery. My go-to pizza is always the combo, I like a little veggies with my meat pizzas. The pepperoni was good too, stacked! I've had the house salad and Caesar salad, which are both pretty good as well. Great pizza, service and fast delivery. read more

Honestly, I came here for the preggo pizza for a friend and it took 2 days before she gave birth haha! I did eat a slice and it was really good. It's like a supreme pizza with more meats. The crust itself was simple and not too thick and not thin, just like how Goldilocks likes it. So thank you Skipolini's from my friend. This pizza was worth the 6 hour drive haha! read more

Had take-out. All meat pizza - the Medium was HUGE! Ate for days! Added peppers - delicious!!

Had Skipolini's for the first time last night and I will definitely come back again and again. I always walk by this place and never knew how spacious it was inside. I really like the vibes inside. Anyway, I split a small black & white pizza and lasagna with my sister, both were delicious but I really enjoyed the black & white pizza! The host and servers provided top tier service. I highly recommend coming here, they also have TVs so if you ever want somewhere chill to watch any games then this is the place to go! read more

Solid pizza, and great service . Price is very reasonable. I would 100% come back. Server was very friendly.

GREAT customer service! Yummy pizza! Love that there was a kids play structure in the back! read more

Meh. Expensive pizza... expensive beer... if you have kids, this is your place to go. Over all.. meh

Pretty much the entire menu is bad. Pizza is floppy with so much cheese you can't even taste the sauce. Cesar salad tastes like it came out of a bag, similar to something you'd get at an airport. Service was fine. Would have been one star if the kids didn't have fun running a muck in the back. read more

I've heard of this place from many people and decided to try it out. Not pregnant, so I didn't get the preggo pizza but the food we did get was pretty tasty. We decided on a build your own medium pizza. The medium size comes with 8 slices and that was more than enough for us with leftovers. The pizza was good. The crust on it was nice and not too thin or thick. We also ordered the Caesar salad and chicken wings. I'm pretty sure the salad I asked for was a small but that plate was huge. From the picture I posted, I ate almost all of it before I realized I didn't get a pic. The wings were good from what my boyfriend said. Not too spicy. read more

We usually pick up a pizza every other week or two because my kids honestly think it's one of the best pizza places around and I agree. Every time we get our pizza it's packed with toppings and piping hot. Our go to is pepperoni, sausage & mushrooms. Today, I got the Prego since the last time I had it was when I was about to give birth to my daughter 13 years ago! For a delicious pizza every time Skips is a must. read more

Decided to have a birthday pizza party here and it was a hit! All my guests loved the food and were amazed with the flavors they offered. The young man who was tending to our party was efficient, kind, and helpful. The restaurant itself was clean (including the bathrooms!) and it had a very nice patio outside with a fountain. It also had a crane game that the kids enjoyed playing. Great place to gather with family and friends over good food and drinks! read more

Food - pretty yummy pizza. I especially like the Preggo pizza and you do not even need to have a pregnant person with you to enjoy! Service - awesome. Special shout to the staff who welcome us when we showed up 30 minutes before closing and allowed to eat in. Second, I had a yelp coupon and the waitress, without saying anything, anticipated my request and processed it. This was in addition to great service at the end of her shift. Well done! Parking - always tricky in Giammona but civic parking is only a block away so options for all read more

This review is long overdue. But my sister got me the Prego Pizza when I was way past my due date. I was desperate at that point to try anything to get this baby out. I had the pizza on 9/7/22. It was so delicious that I ate almost half of it! I started having contractions that night and delivered my son on 9/9/22. I still get this pizza once in a while because all the toppings are just the perfect combination. read more

The food was terrible, we ordered the chicken wings and their famous Prego pizza. The chicken wings texture was all off, it seems like they microwave the chicken wings and pour buffalo sauce all over it. Terrible!! Next was the prego pizza, the pizza in the middle was uncooked. It seems that they just waited until the cheese was melted and didn't let the whole pizza cook, finally the ambience was soo outdated and dirty. It looks like the whole restaurant was ran by kids because the menus were all sticky, the tables were dirty. It felt like I walked into chunky cheese from the 90s and not in a good way. read more

We had our son's birthday here and the staff was super accommodating. We were able to sit by the play structure, there were outdoor heaters, and the temperature was pleasant in their tent for it being an rainy day. Great service, and overall a fun day! I just wish they would remove those quarter machines! read more

So I've heard about this preggo pizza from friends and coworkers. Each personal experience were half and half. I was 2 days past my due date and thought what could it hurt to try this pizza. Came here on a Wednesday with my husband around 5pm. Woke up the next day around 5:30am with heartburn and painful regular contractions. Gave birth to a baby girl with a head full of hair on Thursday around 6pm. Personally for me, can confirm you can get results with 24 hours lol. read more

Pizza and house salad was amazing! Wings were over priced and staff was aloof but the salad was good enough to come back

A shout-out and Bravo to our server, the young man with a baseball cap! Polite and timely, he made it pleasant for my wife and I. It was around 2:30 pm on Saturday, three other tables were occupied, one table was occupied by 4 obnoxious and noisy male customers. The veggie pizza thin crust was excellent. The beer was cold and great tasting. Thanks. Reminder to the restaurant goers, try very hard not to be an obnoxious person. Good Etiquette represents your family and your intelligence. read more

Absolutely love this place! Great pizza and terrific customer service (even when I messed up my order online).

Great cesar salad. I would definitely recommend the sangria. The pizza margherita and pepperoni pizza was great. Our server Alyssa delivered the best service, she was super helpful and awesome! I will definitely be back! read more
