Skipolini’s Pizza Information

On May 3rd 1974 Bev and Skip Ipsen opened Skipolini's Pizza in Clayton, California. Skipolini's was founded on a very simple credo; Provide high quality food in a unique, family friendly environment, at affordable prices. The success of the restaurant over the past three decades has been largely attributed to its steadfast commitment to this business philosophy. Current owner, Kent Ipsen (son of Bev and Skip) began working in the restaurant at the mature age of nine. After graduating College, he and his wife, Yvette opened a Skipolini's Pizza in Antioch, California with the blessing of his parents. Shortly thereafter, Bev and Skip wished to retire, and the original Skipolini's went up for sale. In 1994, Kent and Yvette purchased the Clayton restaurant and then opened the Walnut Creek and Concord locations were opened in 1999 and 2007 respectively. Over the years the restaurants have continued to cater to the needs of the families that patronize them. Most locations boast a play structure and an assortment of toys for our younger patrons. In this environment, parents get the opportunity to enjoy one another and discuss the day's events while the children are hard at play. All of the restaurants have inside and outside dining which provides for a unique family atmosphere. Though Skipolini's has always been known for its friendly service and award winning food, its greatest claim to fame has been our "Prego Pizza", the pizza that induces labor in expecting mothers.
