Oak & Rye Reviews

Found our lunch to be mediocre in taste and not many food options at all. High prices for not so special food.

Awesome pizza and great beer selection. You have to try the New Bohemian Oak & Rye Double IPA. Amazing!

The hamburgers are to die for. Not recommended to come with a big group because you will come out with your pockets empty.

You should try shaved Brussel sprouts with chili oil on the table

Ordered the "Scotty 2 Hottie" and "Commissioner Gordon" pizzas and both were delicious brick oven style pizza. The pretzel starter and butternut squash soup starters were equally delicious.

I tried spicy pork meat balls, Jack Burton and Margherita and all of them tasted great. There are limited number of street parking lots in front of this restaurant. Will absolutely visit again.

My wife really loves this place. It gets four stars because the seating seems cramped. Occasionally when's it's crowded you'll be seated at the same long table as another party. You can of course request and wait for a private table, but even those are very close to their neighboring tables.

Best meatballs and Sake beer I've ever had. Also, amazing bathroom with VHS hits in case you need some time away

Food is fairly good . Above average. But the service is very hit and miss. Some servers are good, others are terrible. Ask for Parmesan and it s extra. Ask for bread for a two year old, even offer to pay for it, and they say NO! Stand near the bar for 39 seconds to see the bourbon selection before returning to your table, and they say you r in the way. Just no flexibility. Your not the French Laindry. You r essentially a pumped up pizza place. You r a decent restaurant, but your customer service sucks. It s obvious this comes from above. Instead of coming weekly, we come very few months. Maybe u don t care. But we really want to be regulars. We ll visit every few months and go to Antica the rest of the time. It s hard to go from good to great.

Consistent quality vegetarian pizza and so are well made cocktails.

Great food and atmosphere. I wish I didn't find this spot on vacation so I could eat here more often.

Really love the Commander pizza! Also must try the Oak & Rye cocktail.

I like the style and atmosphere. Staff were really friendly.

I'm not a huge fan of the thin crust pizzas, otherwise I'd vote higher.

Bagel wasn't fresh and the lamb meatballs we're below average.

Great pizza, great staff. Our 2 year old loved it, too.

Over priced yes. Pizza no. California flatbread would be a better description. High level hipster Street cred. Definitely aimed at the local crowd. Nice place, sitting out front is cool. Don't go if you are more than a little hungry.

The food here is great. Very tasty and different from what you would get in other establishments. There are a few items that are familiar if you are less adventurous or if you like to compare the same item between different places. There is a bar and there are seasonal items at times.

Great place to take a drink with few snacks. We asked the bartender to order more food and his face showed that he didn't want and that we should ask the waitress. Single unisex bathroom, but clean.

If you want premium ingredients cooked untik burnt and unedible, this is the place. The waitress explaining you this is how it is supposed to be is priceless

Awesome food, great atmosphere and music that sooths my soul. If you come for dinner, try the crispy Brussels sprout chips. Amazing!

Outstanding pizza! The selection was fantastic in a very cool setting. Really tasty!! Very friendly folks as well.

The food was great and so was the service. The only issue that we had that was with the noise level in the restaurant/bar. It was very hard to hear each other.

the food was great, but the service was so so so bad that I and the rest of the people in my party will not return. The management is to blame, they are not training the young staff about service. I would assume with lines out the door they will not bother.

Pizza was delicious, and tables outside are awesome for an evening meal with friends

Great food and drinks. Would add more veggies to the vegan pizza.

My favorite place for amazing wood fired pizza and hand crafted, house aged cocktails!

Great place in the heart of Los Gatos, good to hang out with friends or a date night. A wide variety of choices even for vegetarians, great selection of wine, beer and cocktails. One of the unique pizza places I've been to. Good service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Strange pizza toppings and very unfriendly service in covid times

Tip: Oak & Rye has a connection to the famous Roberta's in NYC and it shows. The pizzas here are stellar and the thin crust Scotty 2 Hottie is an amalgam of flavors not seen often on traditional pizzas. Their drink menu and house made pasta dishes are also excellent.

I've been here for brunch several times. Wish there was a bit more outdoor seating but the inside is nice as well. All of the pizzas are excellent, thin crust, generous toppings.

Because of the people that run it the service was outstanding the food was excellent service was right away I really enjoyed it it's an atmosphere for all walks of life kids are welcome you have experienced just great and they really have some good drinks thank you you have a good day

Great experience working with Dana and her team. The food is not only beautiful in photographs but it is soooo delicious. So much flavor in every bite and the presentation perfect. It's a great, casual, and fun spot!

Great on many fronts -- hands-down my new favorite in Los Gatos (and in a small town with way too many Italian restaurants -- and way too many NEW Italian restaurants -- this place is a welcome addition). Service is top-notch, and the pizza is pretty delicious (and I'm a pizza snob). I still prefer greasy, chewy NY fold-it-thin-crust-droopy-cheese style pizza, but given the options around this town, this is the best. .

Great oven baked pizza, excellent wine and beer selection

Excellent pizza, great atmosphere, courteous staff.

The food was good but the service definitely needs some work. It took them forever to bring out the food and were not attentive at all.

Went here for a birthday. Place was half empty, but hostess would not let us save 2 chairs for friends who were running late. We stood around for 20 minutes and left. Overrated.

Great interior design gives this review it's fourth star. There are lots of fun dishes on the menu yet they are often kind of "eh". Not sure why but I have never really been blown away. That being said, I do think the pricing and staff are great.

This place was just OK . Not a lot of meat options. Service was just OK

The pizza is superb. The decor is chock-a-block with conversation-starters. The bathroom? OMG the bathroom. Go check out the bathroom.

The lemon arugula pizza was killer. The shaved brussels sprouts tower was exquisite.

|| Best pizza place in town! Everything on the menu is goooood. Scotty 2 Hottie is ah-mazing. Fresh ingredients + wood fired pizza + whiskey bar =

Place could be loud tho.

Although they accept walk-ins, it's best to make reservations ahead of time since this place gets packed quick.

And don't forget to check their bathroom!

The coronavirus procedures were very good, and the pizza was excellent

Pretty good food. OK service. Relaxing atmosphere. Good place to bring the dogs.

Good food and good drinks here. We sat outside and had a great time, staff and atmosphere are really nice. We shared 3 different pizzas between 5 people and probably could have eaten another one. I will say it is pretty hipster, there is a vhs movie playing in the only bathroom in the restaurant.

Good, flavorful thin crust pizza. A little pricey for the portions.

Great place for a quick pizza. Has a bar, so you can wait for a table at the bar or just choose to have a meal at the bar. Outdoor seating on busy street, so good for people watching.

Great spot to grab some pizza in Los Gatos. Pizzas were great and the service as well.

Delicious appetizers and great choice of beers. Pizza is excellent, of course.

Great Ambience! Perfect place for thin crust Pizzas and some great soups.

I used to like this place until my experience on Saturday evening. My family waited 30 minutes to be seated, then we bypassed since our 1 year old and my wife weren't standing with us (they were parking the car), so we waited another 10 minutes to be seated. Clearly they do not trust their customers. Secondly, our server was very displeased with us and would not accommodate a simple dressing change request on our salad (very rude). Finally, the server was no where to be found the entire meal, and would not come by to help us upon request. This is especially important when you have a child that needs to eat on a schedule. I will not be going back here ever again.

Overall very poor. Ordered dinner for 5, all main dishes came out staggered over 20 minutes time leaving many feeling uncomfortable about starting to eat before others had been served. Two pizzas order, both were burnt and tasted like eating charcoal. Complaints were dismissed and was told that is just the way wood fired pizzas taste. Topping on the Coach Goni were different than on the menu and extremely light. Wine was actual warm.

For the price, the experience was very poor and will never revisit. Only really good thing was the outside air at night felt great.

We happened upon the Oak & Rye in Los Gatos Sunday afternoon. We missed brunch and were too early for dinner (both of which looked like they had great options). We ordered from the lunch menu. I had an amazing roasted cauliflower soup which was good to last spoonful. And my husband had the burger which was cooked perfectly.

My parents forced me to go here. Help! It is terrible. I deserve better!!!

Worst treatment I ve ever had at a restaurant. I came in with a group of 10 people and they pushed two tables together for us. Then another employee, Eric, came back and said the needed one of our tables for other customers. A second employee, who looked like a teenager, shoved me, and without saying anything walked past me to move the table. I was stunned. My friend asked the first employee for his name. He responded sarcastically it s Eric, and you can write that down. I m never coming here again. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.

Food was delicious and service was friendly, attentive and quick.

Get the argula pizza (jack) and the green beans. Yes!!! Service is also great here.
We stopped in for quick dinner, but am very curious about their other pizzas. The pizza had the best bite to it. Not too much crust nor sauce. Can taste all the fresh ingredients. And the tiny bit of wood fire. It was heaven. If you like a little bit of heat, the hot oil in the bottle that is on the table has a really good flavor and easy to put on your pizza.
Cocktails are pretty dang good too. I can't remember what mine was called, but there was an option for mezcal...and whoa! Loved it.

The service is great, the food is ok (a bit on the heavy, fat side). The tables are small and set dense, so it is loud and"cozy". good for drink and appetizers, wouldn't recommend it for dinner.

Had a very special birthday lunch here. Loved their appetizer, thin crust vegetarian pizza, and most of all their sweet spiced liqueur (amaro).

A must stop in Los Gatos for a casual yet original meal. Their Sunday brunch pizzas are my favorite!

Pizza was delicious! Tables full but a spot at the bar was just as fun.

Food was okay, but definitely not worth the price. Portions were incredibly small, we left still feeling hungry after spending over $100 for 3 of us.

Delicious food, beautiful decorations, fun coctails, wonderful customer service and an overall beautiful architectural design. The pizza selection is diverse and adventurous. All the ingredients were healthy and delicious. The bathroom has a vcr tv inside that plays old 80s and 90s classics for you to choose from.

Always great food. Salads are large enough to share.

Great place, good pies but the side dishes were also very well done. Will come back

Great pizzas, beer and kid friendly. They have family style outdoor seating with heat lamps and large picnic tables. The Moscow mules are epic and great old school music.

A great selection of artisan pizzas and all sorts of beer, wine , and cocktails. It can get VERY busy on Fridays and weekends, so be prepared to wait (it's worth it). Weekday evenings are a great time to go if you want to avoid the wait! Sit outside if you can.

Every dish here was delicious. You can t go wrong with anything. We loved the broccolini, gnocchi and the Margherita pizza. Everything was flavored perfectly. They had a good whiskey and bourbon list, but I didn t have a chance to try it. Will definitely be coming back!

Nice place
Pizza was ok but the gnocchi was very tasty
Staff was very helpful
Service was quick

I love this place. The appetizers are on point, the pizzas amazing and the drink specials on point.

Loved the vibe here.
Came on a Friday night with a party of 4 and added myself to the Yelp waitlist. Unfortunately that didn't help and we ended up waiting an additional 40 minutes beyond what the app mentioned.

None the less, great food, ambience and cocktails. Plenty of options for vegetarians.

Delicious food, courteous, attentive service, music with language inappropriate for family dining.
