My wife ordered the preggo pizza Wednesday night. I'm not a pizza person and the food wasn't memorable, but at 2am Friday we welcomed my first daughter in the world. Thanks Skipolinis for the epic Father's Day. read more

Skipolini's Pizza - half margherita and half pepperoni with jalapeño and pineapple pizza - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

First time trying this place out. I was HIGHLY impressed with the quality of the pizza. The taste was great, dough was perfectly soft, and the toppings were amazing. Their wings are a must try as well. Also, huge shout out to the one man crew that was seating, taking orders, serving and cooking! He did it all with a smile and great service. Definitely will be going back more read more

We had a birthday party for my daughter turning 11 with a big group and it was a fabulous time. They had a little arcade with a slide area for kids with a coin change machine in outside eating area. They had so much fun. We had pizza, chicken wings, salad, all tasty. Food didn't take long. When waking in to the back seating area we were greeted by one of the pizza makers, so friendly. Our sever/manager Alfredo was very easy to wrk with and very attentive. He also offered to put our cake in the fridge. Now that's service! Looking forward to coming back. read more

My family ate here on Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of room and the wait staff were understanding of the fact that we had kids and were terrific. The cheese to sauce ratio in the pizza was perfect. I highly recommend read more

The food seemed to be cooked very fast. The chicken wings and the pizza looks like they can be cook few more minutes. I don't think we will be back . It was a very unpleasant experience. read more

I've had the pizza multiple times, and it's fantastic. They're generous with the toppings and cheese which I love. However, the second time I ordered from them, I also got a salad for my mother, which nobody in the house except her consumed. She became very ill that night and was vomiting and had diarrhea. Nobody else got sick because none of us touched the salad, so I doubt it's a weird coincidence. They also gave the door dasher the wrong order (we got someone's garlic bread initially and that's it), but they rectified the mixup after several additional minutes of waiting. Overall, good pizza but I won't order again due to the mixups and food poisoning. Edit: I didn't realize there are so many reviews from women In labor! I was in labor while eating the pizza (water hadn't broken yet) and gave birth the following morning. read more

It was our first visit here. Loved the ambiance, loved the food and loved the service. Prices a tad on the high side. This is the first place where I got a gluten free pizza that was small in size. I ordered the Greek pizza. My wife ordered a Veggie. They serve Pepsi, not Coke, but refills are free. We sat inside but there's also a lovely patio with murals of Tuscany on the wall. read more

Andy @ Skippolini WC Finding something that your 3yo likes is hard but when it comes to pizza Skippolini is amazing. Not just because their food is good , but the customer service from Andy is always on point. Even when we come as the last customer of the night, he treats us with the same gentle hand as if we were a first guest of the day. He never rushed us, checked on my som repeatedly, and remembered me from the previous time. As we paid, he even said that it would be ok if we stayed to "tire out" the little one. I don't know if he is a manager, but I know that he is the reason we keep coming back. Thank you again Andy for great customer service and great respect. Carter's Dad, EL-Khalid read more

Skipolini's Pizza - Carter - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I want to start this review off by saying how disappointing this pizzeria was as this was my first time trying Skipolini's after being told it was good. first off a medium size pizza & traditional wings alone for pickup were $50?!. For that price i was certain the pizza and wings were going to be the best i have tried. Instead, i was met with a pizza that tasted like 7/11 gas station pizza and wings that are not even buffalo flavored!. Just BLAND!. I swear you can make better wings from Costcos frozen food section & better pizza from little caesar's. Definitely will not come back and highly encourage others to seek somewhere else!... read more

Online ordered medium pizza with pepperoni and sausage. picked it up - half was cheese only, other half as ordered.... no apology, didn't check before giving it to us... nothing read more

Italians in Italy don't use that concentrated tomato sauce on their pizzas. That's more American style pizza. Plus, you use too much sauce! Please use less. A light layer would be better. Everything should be balanced. Otherwise it was pretty tasty. Crust not as dense or tough as the last time I had your pizza. Better this time. Thanks Appreciate having you in the neighborhood. read more

Sometimes you just need a greasy non chain pizza and this is it! great food, great service.

This is my first time here. I got the combination pizza. The pizza taste the veggies were not soggy, a good bite to it. We also made a Hawaii pizza, the ham wasn't that thin crappy kind but freshly sliced ham. Very tasty. The service was quick and friendly. The food didn't take long to make. The atmosphere was pleasant read more

The wife and I decided to come here after hearing rumors that they have a pizza that is known to induce labor. My wife was pretty close to her due date at the time and was desperate to get our daughter out of her! Of course, my wife ordered "The Prego Pizza" in hopes that it would induce her labor. It was covered with mountains of ingredients and it looked incredibly delicious. Despite the fact that my wife was eating for two, she let me try a bite and I was not disappointed. My wife on the other hand was disappointed because the pizza unfortunately failed to induce her labor. However, I would like to point out that my wife and I came here a few weeks before our daughter's expected arrival, so the premature visit likely played a factor in the pizza failing. Anyways, in addition to "The Prego Pizza" we ordered "Skip's Dip" and it was delicious as well. It was served with warm/hot bread and I was tempted to fill up completely on the bread and dip alone. Luckily I decided not to and had the opportunity to eat some of their flavorful pepperoni pizza. Overall, their pizzas are a bit messy, but the taste of the ingredients involved is worth it and you can't beat their crust! Additionally, the layout here is relatively open with heated outdoor seating available. It is very family friendly and perfect for a nice family dinner. Our service was decent and we never felt forgotten about. The food here is smidge on the pricey side considering it's a pizza place, but you have to take into consideration your location. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and recommend giving Skipolini's a try. Update: The Prego Pizza works!!! It induced my wife a couple days after I wrote my initial review. read more

My family was asked if we would sit outside because the inside was pretty busy. We said fine but only if they would turn on heat lamps. They said okay. We legit asked 6 people over 30 minutes to turn on the heat lamp. The 6th finally followed through. Seriously. The server we ended up with was great after a couple mishaps right off the bat (long wait for him to show up at first, heat lamp issues, wine bottle left at the table unopened for quite awhile before we flagged him down). Why do I give them 3-stars with all of these issues you ask?? Well, again server ended up being great, the pizza was amazing and there was a play area for the books that my 5 year thoroughly enjoyed! I might go back for the playground alone. read more

Great place for kiddos to play and mom to chill out. Kids are also able to construct their own pizzas. I love the outside patio even without the babies. read more

Skipolini's Pizza - White zin and margarita - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Been coming for years. Food has always been consistently great. Menu has a variety of options from pizza, salads, wings, dip, soup, lasagne, and sandwiches. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Great local family style restaurant. There are a few locations in the Bay Area. Parking can be tricky as it's located in downtown. read more

Been meaning to try this place for a while now and I'm glad I finally did! I got a small pizza, half and half and it was delicious! The crust is yeasty, with a good saltiness. Service was good as well. The atmosphere in there seems very laid back! I will be back soon for sure. read more

UNTRUSTWORTHY! I was promised an induction-causing pizza and my wife is still pregnant four days later!! We made the trek from San Francisco out to Walnut Creek looking for relief. The 50 stories on the website of women eating the pizza and going into labor within 24 hours seemed as good as medical research to me, but I was left with nothing but a deliciously garlicky pizza and another week of waiting. Please do better Skip! Withholding one star as punishment. All in jest. The pizza was great, people were nice, and we just wish the prego pizza worked for us. :) read more

Pizza is very tasty! Service is excellent, and the staff is very accommodating! Plenty of tv's to watch sports!

I randomly heard about the pregnate pizza. I was eight days overdue and desperately to go into labor (without medical intervention). I tried all possible natural method on the book but nothing worked! we went to lunch with my husband on Thursday, that night I went into labor and gave birth on Friday noon. The pizza works like magic. I am vegetarian but I forced myself to have three slices and I don't regret it for one second! Thank you Skipolini! read more

The famous preggo pizza! I don't think it actually works but it's a fun concept! It's like a combination pizza but if your wife is pregnant it is a fun order to get and try and see the results! The restaurant is nice and big... also enjoy there little playground and games... made it fun for my kid... so I liked this place a lot! Pizza restraunts with a kids play area is how all pizza places should be! Makes it so much fun for the Kids to enjoy their pizza read more

very low profile on the outside ...very well known for whats offered inside. this is the home of the legendary, mystical PREGGO PIZZA!!! large dining area. friendly staff few tvs to watch 'the game' good family atmosphere parking is limited outside tho so basically, depending where youre from, you gonna waste gas to hit up another city to go to a pizza joint that barely anybody else in that area goes to just so you can get a chance to sit down with your fam to order ...one of the best hooked up ingredients on a combination pizza you gonn have in a while. ....this pie is dense with all the goodness. like, looks awesome, well made pizza pie that can really fill you up. we didnt really come here to try anything else other that the 'preggo' .. and by the way, regardless what they say, eating this thing does not really induce labor(use common sense lol) but its a fun idea. whats also cool is that they offer a 'build your own pizza' for the kiddos ....our son loved THIS idea, keeps him busy, entertained and fed overall.... worth the drive to try out on a good weather day and come every so often just to grub. read more

Came to Skipolini to order the infamous pregnant pizza for the wife . We heard this pizza helps with inducing labor and as odd as it sounds we wanted to try out anything to help with inducing . The preggo pizza had a strong smell of oregano and was fixed with so many different meat toppings . We also added pineapple as we heard pineapples can help induce labor . I tried the pizza as I was curious of the taste and It was quite good . The crust and breading was soft and baked perfectly . The several topics didn't over power each other . Would I say the pregnancy pizza works ? She went into labor two days labor ... not sure if it was the pizza or just timing but either way I would come back and try the other pizza selections based on the preggo pizza we had alone . read more

$16 bowl of iceberg lettuce covered in white onions and beets. Not enjoyable. Pizza crust was good but thick. Raw bell peppers on the pizza. Too much shredded chicken across the pizza. I'm an east coaster. If I spend $40+ on a pizza, I want it done right. Ingredients were good, preparation not so much. Service was fine and restaurant was empty. Ambiance is great, really nice restaurant. Great beer on tap also. read more

Made the drive from the South Bay to Skipolini's just for the Prego pizza and two days later, we found out that we're 4cm dilated during a routine OB a appointment and was told to check in at the hospital. Coincidence, maybe? But overall, the pizza was really good. Good amount of toppings and a soft, thick crust. Extra garlicky and baby boy was kicking like no tomorrow that evening. Lastly, customer service was awesome (shout out to Jose at the register). Food came out timely, received a cute onesie for baby boy, and Jose was polite and courteous. I'm definitely a sucker for customer service so overall, it was a great visit and look forward to visiting again with the new addition to our family while he rocks his Skipolini's onesie. Will definitely visit again. read more

Best pizza in the Bay Area!! Friendly service and fresh ingredients. Reminds me of my hometown pizza place growing up in New York.

Great Lunch Special during the weektime. Slice of Pizza, garlic bread caesar salad and a cookie! Got a glass of their Proseco to go with my lunch. Slice of pizza is huge im taking half home. read more

My friend referred me to this place due to their reputation of having the preggo pizza. Out of desperation at 39 weeks, I had it delivered and ate it faithfully at least once a day for 3 days (the small size lasted that long). Sadly, it did not send me into labor, but it did trigger some more contractions. It was still worth a try and the idea was kind of fun. The pizza itself was loaded with generous toppings, but the crust on the bottom was thin. Still a tasty pizza. read more

The bruschetta was to die for! Our waitress, Alyssa, was friendly and her energy is so welcoming. The food was ready in a timely manner and great quality. We had a medium pizza which is more than enough for 2 people. Their ranch is the best I've ever had, will be coming back soon! read more

Skipolini's Pizza - Caprese Bruschetta - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Wish I had a better experience to Yelp about but the day I picked up the pizza I guess I just had a person who was having a bad day. Aside from that I'm in month 9 of my pregnancy and decided to try to prego pizza... yall , I had been having small contractions throughout my day after walking but within a hour of eating the pizza I was getting stronger ones. I ate more than half of a small, and about 5 hours later my contractions were 2 minutes apart and stronger than ever, however it's now Tuesday (ordered on Saturday) and I'm still pregnant lol. I'm going back today simply because it's the only pizza I can eat at this time which even though it didn't send me into labor the pizza itself was SO GOOD. I don't even like onions or bell peppers on my pizza but I will be ordering it the same exact way today. read more

Instead of Inducing labor. I got sick from this preggo pizza. Catched cough, fever and vomited as well. Also the service was not really good. read more

This review is quite early as I just had two slices of the preggo pizza in attempt to induce my labor. Now I'm still early.. she's not quite 39 weeks yet but I'm ready and if I need to eat this pizza everyday I will do so.. damn it!!! Anyhow.. so the only pizza I have tried from here is the preggo so my review is limited. So far the pizza is good. Tons of toppings on there and strong oregano spices on there. I also ate it with ranch dressing and siriacha for some extra spice! I picked up the pizza during lunch time and it wasn't busy in the restaurant. The gentleman that helped me was very nice so their service is good. The restaurant decor seemed nice, lots of tables so it would be good for a gathering/party. As for if the preggo pizza worked.. I will keep you all updated!! read more

Skipolini's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I'm a long time resident of Walnut Creek and this is in my opinion of the best pizza place in town. All the ingredients are always very fresh and the pizza just has that magical quality that makes it great. This is on top of the fact that the lunch special is the absolute hands-down best value in this entire town and perhaps any town around here. You get a small Caesar salad, garlic bread, a slice of pizza from their largest pie and a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. All you have to do is buy a drink and you have enough food to feed two people. The combo slice literally weighs almost a pound. Always quick and efficient with their service. I mostly got delivery orders but come in every once in awhile for lunch. Great for the kids if they have a small arcade in the back patio and a fully covered lunch area out there as well. If you're looking for pizza this is not to be missed. read more

We had a super fun birthday party for my 4 year old on the back patio at Skipolini's! I highly recommend it. They have the small kids area and the build your own pizzas for little ones. The adults loved the pizza too, and I was spoiled by the attentive and kind wait staff. Great experience! read more

I would agree with most of the ratings here. Decent pizza but not my favorite. I love the thick crust, though it didn't have much flavor unfortunately. I loved all the toppings on it, but it was topped off with dried seasoning that slightly ruined it in my opinion. I thought it would've been 10x better without it. We got the small for $18 but got the $5 coupon with Yelp which was super nice! And very easy pickup. Wouldn't be my go to pizza for sure, but it was an easy ordering and pickup experience. read more

We come to Skipolinis in Walnut Creek, almost every Sunday. We love that they offer gluten free pizza. It's delicious! Alyssa has been our server often. She remembers our name, but better than that, she remembers our order. She's prompt with our drinks, and salad. We really enjoy this location and would rate the pizza some of the best around. In the warmer months we love sitting on the back patio. We have grandchildren and they love the play area. read more

If you are looking for ill behaved children with parents that lack parenting skills and mediocre food this is the place. There is no division of family seating and non-family seating at this establishment. When we arrived the ambience inside was similar to a daycare on steroids. Screaming kids, running around the dining room while other tables were trying to eat. We asked to sit outside in the tented area. Shortly after we ordered food more tables were being seated outside. Larger parties with kids. I'm not sure what happens in this establishment but no one was trying to teach their kids restaurant manners. There was even a toddler drinking dirty water from the exterior water fountain feature while 2 adults from that party watched her and said nothing. . We quickly found out there is a play area outside which was more screaming, running, fighting and crying. All while parents were there screaming over the kid noise to talk to their adult friends. Look, I'm not a kid hater, I even have one. But this was just shocking. We paid $60 for a medium pizza, small salad, cup of soup and 2 sodas. The food was not amazing. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2 is because the staff were very nice. read more

Came in on a Tuesday night to pick up an order of their infamous "Prego Pizza" there were only a few people dining, probably 'cause it was a week night. So I'm not sure how busy it gets. Ordered a medium Prego Pizza and took it home. At the time I was 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant so I was hoping it'd kick start my labor. I knew not to get my hopes up but it was fun trying. The pizza was loaded especially with a ton of garlic. I ate a couple of slices and nothing. The next day I ate another slice and nothing. The day after I ate another slice and nothing happened, other than really strong garlic breath. The pizza was good, not sure if I'd come back but it was fun trying out their infamous Prego pizza. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. read more
