The chicken Cesar calzone dipped in marinara sauce has to be tasted to believe the combination. Crazy good Our other favorite is the New York, New York pizza, with its linguica sausage, Italian sausage, spicy salami, pepperoni, and Canadian bacon--for spicy meat lovers. Kick it up a notch! read more

Food here is definitely frozen. If you like low quality, expensive food this is your place.

Was on a job , Drove 20 minutes for this pizza and it was worth every minute of the drive very impressive very high-quality. Their large pizza is extremely large. It's a really great value. I got zero complaints on this place small business love supporting them love when they turn out a great product we'll definitely come back next time. I'm in the area. read more

Was the Best pizza in this area. The last two times the pizza dough was disappointing! The crust was like a piece of cardboard. Ask to cook it crispy it was soft. The dough recipe must have been changed at one point. So sad that this has happened. read more

Ioli's is our go-to spot for pizza in the valley--my boyfriend always mentions it first when the craving hits! The Thai chicken pizza is unbeatable. Even when I'm not in the mood for pizza, their Alfredo (no chicken for me) is always a satisfying option. The portions are generous, the food is consistently great, and it's never too busy. A solid local gem! read more

Where's the toppings? Medium pizza with 3 little pieces of sausage on each slice. You couldn't even cover the pizza with olives? Really? So so, this place used to be really good. read more

HUGE & great pizza!! Iolis' Pizzeria has been one of my family's favorite spot to eat in the past decade. Overall, they have consistently offered great service, and been very friendly. The pizza is my favorite part. The crunch to the crust is just perfect, and is topped off with rich tomato sauce and delicious toppings. They offer a variety of pizza combinations, and other items on their menu. On this occasion, my family came out to eat dinner, and I decided to order a calzone. The only reason I am rating it a 4/5, is because I found out that there was too much tomato sauce in my calzone compared to other filling ratio. I found just a few pepperonis along with other veggies inside my calzone. Perhaps maybe next time, I will skip the calzone, and go straight to ordering a big slice of their traditional pepperoni pizza, or Hawaiian. You could never go wrong with those two options. They also offer seating inside and outside, which is great if you want to have a sit down meal. The environment is definitely on the casual side, and can sometimes get loud, as you may find other families dining there as well. read more

I brought my kids and their cousins for a family pizza lunch and it was amazing. They loved the giant pizza slices (cheese and pepperoni). Eating in the outdoor patio was perfect. It didn't take too long (maybe 15 minutes). We're definitely coming back! read more

One of my all-timers. I've been coming here for years and even if I didn't live up the road, I still would make the trek from town if I had to. My weeknight fave is the Thai Chicken Small or Mini Pizza-The small mostly b/c you can request a thin/crispy crust. They have great daily specials but you do have to come early because they will sell-out. I'll come here every chance I get. Next to the vet & pet spa & we all use anyway so makes it easy Definitely recommend. They also package the pizza well. I mean, it's pizza but it's always hot & travels well. Very delicious. Super friendly staff too. I've never dined in (no point) but it seems like a chill atmosphere with ample seating & lots of happy customers always. read more

Delicious pizza! Love the thin crust, the atmosphere, literally a hidden gem in the beautiful Carmel area. We got the pepperoni thin crust pizza with jalapeños and it was amazing. The sauce is robust, flavorful with a hint of spice which I love. Will be back! read more

This is THE pizza joint of Carmel Valley as we saw a multitude of folks swinging by to grab their pie. It sits in the Safeway shopping center near the laundromat. Great place to kill some time while doing a load! There is a Tv on inside with the game playing if you want to have your beer at the bar while you're waiting for food During COVID you can't eat inside but there was ample outdoor seating on walkway amidst flowers. The crew inside was quite friendly and helpful in making our selection. Here's our review of the food: Iced tea - 8/10 Very light on the tea flavor but has a nice tropical flavor. Free refills means I will be taking a few of these down! Bruschetta - 10/10 Beautiful light crunch on the bread with a LOAD of garlic amongst the tomatoes. It had the best balance of olive oil, salt, tomato and Parmesan over the fresh bread. So tasty!!! New York New York Pizza - 8/10 Thin crust with a sweet tomato heavy pizza sauce. There was a great variety of meats with different flavor profiles that made each bite unique. I prefer a bit more zest to my sauce and the cheese could have been more memorable but this was a tasty pie no doubt. All said and done, don't hesitate to grab a pizza from here as it represents Carmel Valley well. Good ingredients, great ambiance, and a menu to please all makes this a great stop. I think I have to come back on Fridto see what that French Dip is all about! read more

The new employee as of recent seems to be so bothered. Like I'm sorry my order is interrupting your day. The last two times I've ordered I've had issues with the pizza. Not sure if it's just him also making the mistake or if someone else makes them. Today I ordered a Bronx no tomatoes and all the tomatoes on this pizza is what lead me to finally leave a review. read more

This is a pizza restaurant that we used to frequent often but after Covid hit, I'm not sure if they changed ownership since the quality of the pizza has changed. Gone are the handmade crusts for what looks like frozen dough. The ingredients on top seem lower quality as well, but the prices remain high. I spent approximately $30 ea on (2) 16". The highest compliment would be that they were hot. read more

I love this spot! Best pizza place in the valley for sure. I love how they are open fairly late.

We wanted to like this place especially with how close it is to our home. We got a few of the most popular/recommended dishes. Spaghetti and meatballs was the best by far but only came with 2 meatballs and not a ton of sauce which you can see in the picture. The cheesy breadsticks where tasty but I wondered if they came on a pre-made crust. (Maybe frozen?). The Thai pizza came on the same crust and tasted like a frozen pizza. I hate to leave marginal reviews but had to be honest. The staff were very nice people and the place was clean. Would love to know when they start working with fresh doe. read more

My husband and I are staying local for our anniversary. We came to Safeway to grab some stuff and decided to eat at Loli's.... The food was was EXCELLENT. We shared the wings which were TOO GOOD! My husband had the New York New York he said it was "10/10". I had minestrone soup and bruschetta. The service was excellent, staff was friendly and accommodating! It was so good we will definitely be visiting in the future! read more

How have I not reviewed this place yet?? We've been coming for years and it's the closest pizza place to our house. We usually get it for the kids before we go out for a date night. And EVERY SINGLE TIME we take a bite before heading out. It always hits the spot. A perfect appetizer. On the rare occasions we all have pizza as a family (this is a bold faced lie. We eat pizza all the time LOL) we get the large which is the size of a planet. Literally. It's huge and amazing and such a conversation starter. Call me crazy, but pizza tastes the best cooled down - but not cold. After the pizza is delivered - after it's been sitting out and everyone has had about 2 slices I feel like the temperature reaches perfection. Everything gels in just the right way. And Ioli's makes the perfect pizza for that kind of bite. read more

Amazing pizza! our family of 5 loved the big size and quality of the ingredients-- award for best value overall on the peninsula! We live about 20minutes away and will come back just for this pizza and the outdoor dining option. read more

2-1/2 stars not being available pushed me to 3 stars because rounding up was deserved more than rounding down. I'd like to start off with the good things I can say. First off I have to say the staff was very friendly, the place was clean, and they took our phone in to go order correctly and the portions are large enough for one entree to be shared by two light eaters. The chicken alfredo was ok, I'd say dominos pizza's chicken alfredo is better. So I need to address the not so good. The lasagna was very bland, flavorless, which could have been resolved with salt and pepper but that was not provided with our to go order. The grand concourse pizza was bland as well, I think due to the marinara sauce which seems to be the same used in the lasagna. We got the medium 16" pizza, with only two little packs of Parmesan cheese and two small packs of crushed red peppers, which were quickly gone trying to flavor the food needing some help in the flavor department. Overall I can only say if the tasted the food as it's prepared and used some salt, pepper, or give those spices for the customers the review would probably gain a stair. read more

Locally owned restaurant recommended by staff Quail Lodge for a nice casual lunch. The salad was HUGE, fresh, absolutely delicious. Easily could have been shared with a friend.

Been there a few times for Pizza and pasta. But the garlic bread is a no go for sure. They put all the Wailing Wall garlic on pizza dough cover it with cheese and bake it. The raw garlic just opens up under the cheese never cooks. The biggest raw garlic experience I've ever had on a piece of bread. #SweatOutTheGarlic1 #LightenTheGarlicLoadOnTheBread read more

Stayed at CVR nearby so we decided to try some local food. Ordered pizza, pasta, and wings to go. When he handed us the food he walked away so fast to the back he didn't give me a chance to ask for utensils, red chili flakes or napkins! Which of course wasn't even packed up for us in the bag. Thankfully I packed some forks back at the lodge. Pizza was meh. Pasta was decent. read more

Arrived at 7:40 PM. We were told that it's too late to be able to sit down. We had several kids with us and it would've been easier to eat there than it would've been to take the food home. I thought since they were closing at eight, that seemed not unreasonable. Turns out they don't close till nine. People were coming and going and it took us about 45 minutes to order takeout. Could've eaten in that time at the restaurant. Service not great. Food is fair. Really one of the few Pizza places in town so not a lot of other choices. read more
