“Casual with Class”
Review of Papa Lennon's

Papa Lennon's
Ranked #3 of 11 Quick Bites in Ojai
Cuisines: Pizza
Restaurant details
Reviewed 9 August 2018

Ask “where to eat” and take it from a local! We visited, as suggested by one who lives in the area and who finds this quaint, small relaxed, local restaurant: a go-to reliable, a flavorful, price-right choice. It’s casual with class. So it proved to be.
There were plenty of good food choices. Behind the welcome counter, friendly courteous help was given to us newcomers and we shared a terrific Hawaiian Pizza carrying a generous amount of cheese, Canadian bacon and pineapple and the House Salad was somehow wonderfully crisp, tasty and different. Everything was clean and orderly as we found out way to various self-service areas for all we needed to accompany the meal.
The ambiance was perfect: we sat outside surrounded by lighted trees, archways, evergreens and flagstone patio with fountain; a cozy outside environment. Friendly individuals and families came and went and were obviously enjoying “Papa Lennon’s.”
When we return to Ojai we will definitely revisit Papa Lennon’s.

Locals advised this was the place to go, so one night after leaving a downtown concert early, we returned home to see that we have 20 minutes to spare (before 9 p.m. when Motown rolls up the sidewalks to get something to eat. Ordered by phone traditional Italian fare: lasagna, papa's pizza and meatball sandwich because I could not find their menu on line. The counter person, who must have been busy, was extremely helpful and suggested one of the lasagnas come with pesto -- tastier than the mariners. The food traveled well, though we were misadvised when told that three orders would not be enough for four people. We would have done fine with less, and could have skipped the pizza or the sandwich *would rate it a 6). But we did have salad at home and got some delicious cookies and cream ice cream. Our pick-up crew said the place was popping and has a lovely patio. We will be back in person.

Very good food at a good price. Great for casual dining and lunch. Nice menu something for everyone, they do a good job and the beer is ice cold!

We've been here about three times now, most recently with a large group of over a dozen or so people. We like to sit out on the long tables available in the patio. Some of our group are vegans and they like the choices here; others enjoy the dog friendly patio; and we like the chicken sandwiches, which come several ways. Just a really nice place to eat some good food and hang out with your buddies. We will continue to come to Papa Lennon's.

This place was a lovely respite for a good meal dinner in a soothing setting. Coming from Malibu, the backyard dining area suited us fine, replete with string lights in a courtyard like setting. Order at the counter, food is brought to your table. It was great to see young & old here with family. The food tasted fresh & real, akin to the organic advertising. My wife & I shared a greek salad & papas favorite pizza. And located in the quaint neighborhood area of Ojai.
