Skipolini's Pizza

Skipolini's Pizza in Folsom brings a half‑century of family‑run Italian tradition to the Sacramento foothills. Founded in 1974 by Bev and Skip Ipsen in a modest Clayton home, the brand has grown to a network that includes the Blue Ravine Road location at 191 Blue Ravine Rd, just minutes from Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and the bustling Folsom Premium Outlets. The restaurant’s warm, wood‑paneled interior is complemented by a sunny outdoor patio where locals enjoy a glass of the house‑made sangria while waiting for a slice of the famous Prego Pizza, a thin‑crust masterpiece topped with a savory tomato‑basil sauce and mozzarella. Signature items include Skip’s Pepperoni Pizza, a hearty blend of spicy pepperoni and melted cheese, the Chicken Caesar Salad with crisp romaine and shaved Parmesan, and daily‑made gelato served from a vintage cart that travels to the Reno outpost on weekends. The menu also offers gluten‑free crusts, classic spaghetti carbonara, and a selection of Italian desserts such as tiramisu and cannoli. Open Monday‑Thursday 11:00 am–9:00 pm, Friday‑Saturday 11:00 am–10:00 pm, and Sunday 12:00 pm–8:00 pm, the eatery provides both dine‑in and carry‑out service, with online ordering available through order.skipolinis.com. Prices sit in the $$ range, delivering generous portions at affordable rates. Friendly staff, family‑friendly atmosphere, and convenient parking make Skipolini's a go‑to spot for a casual family dinner, a quick lunch, or a weekend gathering.
