After having lunch at the Ojai Pizza Company earlier this year, something occurred to me as I sat…read morethere and looked around at all of the jerseys hanging on their walls. I saw some of the G.O.A.T's of the NBA, the NFL, the NHL, and the MLB which were all proudly on display. Hey, Maybe you've heard of 'em... Jordan, Jabbar, Montana, Gretzky, Gehrig Yeah, we all know these Greats and what their individual contributions were to their respective sport/league. Well, after eating the pizza and salad at O.P.C, I can truly say that these jerseys represented more than the players who wore them, but they had a direct correlation to the food that's served here. The overall Pizza is an unstoppable slam dunk just like Michael Jordan would do as he soared through the air with his tongue out. Yeah, The pizza we ordered had the perfect amount of sauce to cheese to toppings ratio and it was the "hook" that kept me wanting more, just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook move that was his secret weapon to scoring big. The secret weapon on our pizza.... The Pineapple!!! Now let's talk about the Greek Salad! Just like Joe Montana was put into the Hall of Fame, the Ojai Pizza Co.'s Greek Salad should be added to the list! Yeah, this Greek Salad was the 'Gretzky' of all Greek Salads. It too should have the same nickname... The Great One! (Because Damn was it a Great One!) Yes, every single bite which had the perfect combination of toppings, and a dressing that sealed the deal; this Greek Salad was the "Iron Horse" side dish that looked as good as Lou Gehrig did in those Yankee Pinstripes and it definitely was a hit out of the park home run that complimented our pie. Located right on Ojai Ave. in the center of town, this little pizza shop knows exactly what they are doing. They are shooting for that W that can win Championships all while securing a W both in our hearts and in our stomachs for all of the love that they are putting into their food. So if you find yourself visiting the quaint little town of Ojai and are in need of a quick, easy, and tasty meal, the Ojai Pizza Co. is definitely the G.O.A.T in the area when it comes to hand-tossed pizzas!

Hands down the absolute best dining experience in Ojai! I kept seeing this place all over TikTok…read morewhile planning our girls' trip, and it somehow managed to completely exceed the massive hype. Since it was my 1st time visiting the area, I took a gamble recommending it to my friends, & everyone is still thanking me for finding this absolute masterpiece of a restaurant. We stopped by for lunch right after a wine tasting just a block away. Even though they don't take lunch reservations and we had a massive group of eight, the staff handled it flawlessly and accommodated us with the most welcoming, high-energy service imaginable. The seamless counter-service model is brilliant--you order, sit back, and enjoy the incredible vibes while they bring perfection right to your table. Every single detail here is curated to perfection. We started with a bottle of rosé, which arrived in a stunningly creative, vintage empty can of peeled tomatoes. It is the ultimate aesthetic touch and a prime example of how thoughtful this place is with their presentation! APPETIZERS: The Casitas Pork Meatballs: An absolute triumph--incredibly flavorful and perfectly tender. The Chicory Caesar: Crisp, beautifully dressed, and a total crowd-pleaser for a big group. PIZZAS: Margheritaville: A classic, flawlessly executed red sauce pie that sets a whole new standard. The Madonna: An absolute genius flavor profile with earthy local mushrooms and a bright lemon finish. Porco Rosso: A total showstopper with bold spicy tomato sauce, confit garlic, and a brilliant, crunchy breadcrumb finish. The Pinyon Pie: Their iconic signature pie! The tangy kefir base with sausage and toasted pine nuts is an absolute, non-negotiable must-order. DESSERTS: The Pistachio Tiramisu: Pure decadence and perfectly balanced. Vanilla Bean Soft Serve: A culinary work of art topped with premium olive oil, sea salt, and cookie crumbs. The ultimate sweet-and-savory masterpiece. World-class food, a flawlessly executed concept, stellar hospitality, and an unmatched atmosphere. This team is firing on all cylinders. If you are anywhere near Ojai, you need to go out of your way to experience this place. Five stars aren't enough!

I don't love that in terms of service, but alas, this is kind of a common restaurant experience in Ojai. We ordered the broccolini, the mushroom pizza and the half chicken and it was all so incredibly flavorful and well prepared! The crispy flavor of the chicken skin was out of this world especially paired with the sweetness from the nectarines. Also, I was completely unprepared for the broccolini to be cut up and served in a circular shape but it's mixed with this really creamy and slightly spicy chili sauce that is so flavorful - and it also has a nice balance of sweetness with the dates. The dough and the flavors of the mushroom pizza were also amazing! I just loved how chewy the dough was. It had fantastic texture and bite/chew to it! All around, I thought that it was the most amazing place I've been for pizza. The only thing I didn't love was that sitting outside meant that once our food arrived, there were a few bees swarming around trying to also eat our food (it was just that good). Otherwise, everything was amazing!

Although I honestly thought it was overpriced. I also had a bottle of root beer which was refreshing on this hot day. They have their own lot so there is plenty of parking.

We waited an unreasonable amount of time just to be acknowledged, and things only got worse from there. The cleanliness of the restaurant was unacceptable. Our table was dirty when we were seated, the floor had trash all over it, and our plates arrived wet with food smudges still on them, making it obvious they hadn't been cleaned properly. When our pizza finally came out, there was a hair baked into it. We immediately tried to get our server's attention, but we were completely ignored. My boyfriend had his hand raised for several minutes trying to get help, and Sara walked by multiple times without acknowledging us. When we were finally able to speak with Sara about the issue, her attitude was rude and dismissive. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, she acted as if we were inconveniencing her. Customer service goes a long way, especially when there's a legitimate problem with the food, but we received none. Between the extremely long wait, the dirty table, trash on the floor, wet and dirty plates, finding a hair on our pizza, being ignored when we needed assistance, and the poor attitude from Sara, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed. Unfortunately, we won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

We had to pick up some wine bottles, so we decided to take in the member perks and enjoy our day listening to live music, drinking some great wine, and dining on a few of the delicious foods they provide. The lady and man at the entrance guided us to our table and immediately started the experience. We got to do a total of six tastings and tried out some charcuterie snacks. A few of my favorite wines were the Sahngri-La, Pink Moment Syrah, and the Zinfandel. I enjoyed the crackers and cheese they gave us to pair with our favorite testers. Throughout the event, they brought out some fruit, more wine, and pizza tasters, which were all delicious. I really enjoyed their pizza, so I definitely want to come back to enjoy the restaurant and drink some more refreshing wines.

The Farmer and the Cook -- Fresh Finds Off the Main Road…read more I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect walking in for the first time, but The Farmer and the Cook won me over pretty quickly. It's bright, clean, and has this easy organic warmth to it... the kind of place that feels like it was put together by people who actually care. Right off the main road, easy to find, and the family vibes are real. It's the kind of spot you want to linger in. If you're navigating dietary restrictions, this place is a quiet goldmine. Strong gluten free options, a genuinely vegan friendly menu, and plenty of vegetarian choices too... so everyone at the table actually gets to eat something they're excited about. That's rarer than it should be. The food? Solid. I went with the raw tacos, sopes, and huarache; all filling, all fairly priced for the area. The raw tacos especially surprised me... fresh, flavorful, and not in a "I wish this was a real taco" kind of way. These hold their own. Service was quick and most of the staff had a warm, genuine energy about them. The one small snag; the cashier seemed to be having a rough one. A little gruff, made me feel like my first visit was mildly inconvenient for them. It happens, we all have bad days, but first impressions do stick a little. Overall though, I'm absolutely coming back. There's more on that menu calling my name and an atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down for a bit. Whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just looking for something fresh and honest... this one's worth the stop.

When we arrived at 6 PM, we were told the restaurant was already out of most of the menu items and planned to close in about thirty minutes. The menu was also completely different from what was shown on their website. We ordered the tri‑tip with string‑cut fries, but the beef we received was extremely old, dry, and tough -- definitely not fresh, and certainly not "farm to table." On top of that, instead of the string‑cut fries we ordered, we were served a large pile of waffle fries. After the fact, we found a review mentioning that the restaurant changed ownership in November 2025, which explains the drastic shift in quality and menu. I'm writing this updated review so others won't be caught off guard the way we were. Our bill came to $84, and honestly, even a basic chain diner would have been a better meal.

They offer an accessible wine tasting experience that's enjoyable for both wine enthusiasts and a first time wine tasting encounter. Majestic Oak features Rhône varietals such as Syrah, Grenache and a lesser known Cinsault. We are members of their wine club because of the quality of their wines and the value. The rich reds that we selected were sourced from local Ojai vineyards as well as the best of the Santa Barbara County growing regions. They also offer beautiful white wine varieties that call for a summer picnic or garden party. We loved the Bruce's Rose that celebrates their mascot, Bruce. Highly recommend for the quality of their wines and for the wine tasting experience.
