My husband and I had a 5:00 PM dinner reservation on a Monday and were surprised to find a line forming outside before the doors even opened. Despite having reservations, we were the only party seated upstairs. Unfortunately, our table was right by the staircase, which made seating a bit awkward since it’s visible from the entrance and fairly high-traffic. There is outdoor seating available, and many guests seemed to choose it — most of the patio tables were full when we left, which was notable given that it was around 45 degrees and heat lamps can only do so much.
One thing I appreciated was how light the pizzas were, and they were sliced in a way that made them easy to share. That said, it would be more convenient if basic condiments were already on the table instead of having to request them.
What we ordered:
Pretzel (2/5): Too thin and soft for my taste, though the beer cheese was the highlight
Shaved Brussels Sprouts (3/5): Interesting overall, but very cheese-forward — I couldn’t really pick up the lemon vinaigrette
The Jerk (4/5): Well-seasoned and different from your typical pizza
Truffle Shuffle (2/5): This was the biggest letdown. It smelled incredible, but the flavor didn’t come through at all
Parking: Located in downtown Los Gatos, so street parking is available along with a few public lots. Availability really depends on timing, and it can be a bit challenging during busier hours.
Service: Overall good. I do prefer brighter dining spaces and asked if the lights could be turned on since our area was initially lit only by candlelight. Later in the meal, the overhead lights flickered on and off intermittently. I also noticed nearby tables were offered additional toppings when their pizza arrived, while we had to ask separately for crushed red pepper.
Would I return? Possibly — mostly to try different items on the menu.

My first impression off the bat wasn’t the greatest the wait time was over an hour and a half for a walk in (Make sure to do a reservation)….. BUT the service that was provided by Zoe and Keegan was absolutely exceptional!!! I would definitely recommend this place more due to the service they both had given our table! I’ve never experienced anything like this before! They both ensured to go above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and satisfied with everything! They both definitely deserve a raise and kudos! The pricing is high for what it is and if you’re looking for a pizza with no flop this is definitely NOT the place! However the Goomba pizza was full of flavor and that was the better of the two we picked. The Margarita pizza could definitely be better. It lacked a lot of flavor and I used some hot honey to revive it, so that helped a lot! The ambiance feels very cozy and the look of the place is very nice! I’ll definitely come back to give the place another shot because the service was again out of this world and there is two more pizzas that I wanna try (Scotty 2 Hottie & The Jerk). I would definitely consider this place, but again keep in mind the pizzas aren’t crispy if that’s what you’re looking for.
A pizza place with a minimalist approach to the overall design, decor, furniture and menu. All pizzas are thin crust and don't have a lot of ingredients which is not a bad thing until one contrasts them with the prices. Service is friendly and quick. The pizza feels light and is quite delicious. This is very much a California pizza joint.

The hostess was rude and not helpful from the moment we walked in. The pizza was just okay and really needed more toppings. On top of that, the restaurant didn’t feel clean — I even noticed spider webs in multiple areas. Overall, a disappointing experience and definitely needs improvement.

The arugula salad, shaved brussel sprouts and the gnocchi (all vegetarian) are can’t miss dishes! Absolutely delicious blend of flavors!
This spot always delivers. The pizza flavor combos are great and the bake is always well executed. The cocktails really elevate the whole experience from just your average pizza place. Beer and wine list are good, too. The atmosphere is fun and unpretentious. But most of all, I love the level of service. From host persons, support staff and wait staff, it makes the whole meal a wonderful treat. When we're choosing to eat out less and less, Oak & Rye maintains one of the go-to places we'll save a place for. Thanks everyone and especially Zoe for the great service tonight. Cheers!

Haven't been here in ages. Surprised to get a table for 2 as a walk-in on a busy Friday night. Excellent and tasty Neapolitan pizzas with great salads and sides. Nice atmosphere and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Good cocktail menu as well.

Pizza crust was excellent but the arugula/cheese topping was not great. The Margarita was better. Arugula salad was very good. Service was slow/confused. The patio seating was nice. Pretzel was good.
