So the best new pizza place in the area belongs to Skipolini's Pizza and Pasta in Rocklin. The place is hoppin' most nights, with the weekend with a half hour wait or longer. And the wait is worth it.
The pizza is old style Italian. Thick end crust, thinner center. Fresh toppings are piled on. They are known for their Prego Pizza, called that after several very overdue pregnant women went in to labor around 24 hours after eating a Prego pizza.
The Prego comes with thirteen toppings, including extra onions and garlic, fresh veggies and six different types of meat. It's supposed to weigh around 4lbs alone!
My personal favorite is the veggie pizza with fresh artichoke hearts, my husband likes the combo (go figure!) and we both like the Chicken Pepperonado Pizza, which is a pesto base with chicken and yellow and red bellpeppers. Delish!
The salads come family style for around $10 bucks and feeds around 4-5 people. The single salad around $7 easily feeds two people.
The pasta is pretty good too. I've had both the lasagne, (like grandma made, and the Mediterranean Pasta with cappellini is tastey and satisfying.
Skipolini's is a family run place with four additional locations. Rocklin, Clayton, Antioch, Concord and Walnut Creek each have a slightly different menu, but all taste fantastic.
It is a bit pricey, but not too much out of line from Round Table. The taste though is great.
Enjoy!
