"I heard about Skipolini 's prego pizza during my last pregnancy but never made it out since my son arrived early. Fast forward to present times and I wanted to try it out in hopes of getting this baby to come out! About 5 hours have passed since we ate and no luck so far, but will definitely update my review if this famous pizza actually does the job haha. We had our son with us so I was called hoping to order ahead so we didn 't have to wait too long for our pizza, but they said they couldn 't do that. But much to our surprise when we drove up, there is actually a playground on the outdoor patio! It 's pretty small and according to my husband it would be crowded if even two kids were in it because of how it 's designed, but luckily we were the only ones so it helped kill some time for our little guy. They also gave crayons and kids coloring pages, so this is definitely a kid friendly place. The wait wasn 't too bad, took about 15-20 mins for our food to come out around 3pm on a Sunday. My Prego Pizza was pretty tasty but not nearly as spicy as I hoped! I added a lot of chili flakes and Tabasco which added some more kick to the extra onions and garlic on the pizza. The ingredients on the pizza itself are all your standard meats (salami, pepperoni, ham, linguisa, sausage, ground beef) and veggies (olive, mushroom, bell pepper, garlic) that you would find on a combo or supreme style pizza. Not my first choices but I 'm here with a goal in mind! As far as taste goes though I enjoyed my husband 's Bettega pizza. It 's listed as a favorite on the menu also and I love a white sauce pizza! The spinach and tomatoes go really well with the white garlic sauce too. We each got a small size and were able to bring half of each pizza home still so the small is a very generous size for one person. Service was okay, nothing memorable or spectacular. He got us what we needed and when we needed it, and nothing more. The interior of the restaurant gives me Macaroni Grill vibes, like it hasn 't been redecorated or remodeled since it first opened up. They had a great 80s/90s music playlist. Although that didn 't go with the restaurant or atmosphere, it was enjoyable to listen to at least. Just seems like a restaurant that has been a staple in the neighborhood for years and has its regular customers keeping it going. Not sure if I would necessarily come drive out of my way again to return, but it was a pretty solid pizza with delicious crust so I don 't have anything bad to say. Here 's to hoping this Prego pizza kicks in when I eat my leftovers!"

"Five stars for the food. One star for the service. Absolutely do not ever, ever go to this restaurant if you have a larger party than 4. Six people and four people all get the same space arrangement: two small tables pushed together. They will refuse to allow three tables to be put together and they will insist that 3 people sit on each side and not allow two people to sit at the ends. They will not seat you if you don't have everyone ready. They don't split checks and they only accept cash.They don't let you order in stages and will force you to pile all 14 plates onto the small space they have condescended to give you. But once you start eating, you want to forgive them for every service sin. The food here is absolutely amazing. It's simple but everything has an incredibly bold, vivid flavor profile. The portions are more than generous and I strongly advise against ordering one dish per person because there will be too much food left over. We had two orders of the hummus, it's a very creamy, nutty texture. They serve it cold, it was obviously pre-plated and kept in the fridge, but still went wonderfully with the warm house pita bread. Between six carb-loving girls, we emptied the single basket of pita triangles 3 times and had to ask each and every time for a refill. I had a plate of the grilled octopus which was amazingly tender and not at all fishy. The texture was unlike any other seafood, it was more like chicken. I would strongly recommend this for those that generally avoid fish dishes. A few pieces were charred and crispy which I personally enjoyed. My friends had a variety of salads including the Avocado citrus salad, as well as an order of the scallops and spinach pie. I shamelessly stole bites across the table. The avocado citrus salad is gorgeous with glistening slices of peeled grapefruit and orange. I really enjoyed the spinach pie because it was composed almost entirely of spinach with a flaky crust and the cheese was only sprinkled throughout. It didn't feel heavy or greasy at all. But the scallops. The scallops were king. They come in a thin coating of breadcrumbs and melt on your tongue. You barely have to touch your fork to them before they flake off into succulent bites. I would do a lot of things to eat those scallops again. We ordered such a huge variety of dishes that the waitress actually missed one, a small plate of the beets. It never came out which was probably a good thing for our stomachs but when the bill came, they didn't include an item-by-item list so we had no way of checking if they charged us for the beets or not. Of course, it took us a long time to work through the meal and we tipped over the mandatory 18% they already charged us on the bill but we were still standing around the table and pulling our coats on when they started clearing our dishes away. Even before that, a series of 3 different waitresses came by to ask us if we wanted things to go. I've never been so torn about a restaurant before. I loved the food but is it worth the experience? If you factor in the price point, I think my answer is going to have to be no."
