Papa Lennons is great! Their food is consistently good and the ambiance is really cute - quaint interior, nice outdoor courtyard. They use really fresh ingredients and have a limited (but sufficient) offering of well priced wines by the glass and beer. Their chicken sandwhich with pesto and tomatoes is the best thing ever! Whenever my husband is there for... More

Papa Lennon's is so good that a friend of mine and I went there on Saturday for dinner, and went back again with friends Sunday as well! The cozy little eatery offers very fresh, high quality Italian fare for incredibly reasonable prices. The main options are small portion pizzas, salads, pastas, and pannini sandwiches. Everything I've had is delicious! The... More

My friends were telling me about this place and said it was the best pizza in Ojai, but I would rather eat Domino's pizza than Papa Lennon's. Very boring overrated place. Ice cream was the only cool thing. More

We use our timeshare in Ventura, CA every year. Each trip we include a day trip to Ojai to shop and go out to lunch. The last three years we have chosen Papa Lennon's for food and atmosphere. We love the outdoor dining area. We enjoy the rosemary chicken panini and blackened chicken caesar roll-up. The panini includes fresh mozerella,... More

We live in Ojai and eat out often. Papa Lennons is consistently good, a great value and has a nice casual feeling. It is pseudo- self serve, so be prepared for that difference. Salads, pasta, pizza are all great. Desserts are nice touch and gelato is great. More
