  So happy to have found this place during our visit to Coloma. We wanted pizza and beer and this place delivered that and more. The outdoor patio is spacious and cool in the shade. We were lucky enough to find a great guy playing music on the deck, too. As a result, we grabbed another round and stayed through the end of his time.
  
  The salad and the pizza were great. I think we ended up taking two pieces back to our campsite but they were eaten before the night was over. We ordered a veggie pizza and it was both flavorful and colorful. The front counter was very upfront with us that it would take a while and we appreciated that and accounted for it. The live music helped, too. If I return to Coloma, we will most definitely return to Squally's.

  My friend and I truly weren't sure what we could find in a small town like Lotus. In fact, I didn't even have cell service, but luckily my friend could access Yelp. And then we found ourselves at Squally's.
  
  We ordered with the hostess off a white board with about 8 different pizzas, a few salads, and two sandwiches of the day. We went for a garden salad and the veggie pizza.
  
  I was impressed by the quality of the pizza, namely the crispiness and flavor of the crust. Not bad for a small-town pizza place!
  
  It was lovely sitting outside on the wraparound deck. There's a stream, nice spots of shade, and the wide open sky.
  
  There are also a few TVs inside playing whatever game is on.
  
  I'm glad we stopped in!

  Excellent pizza, flavorful and love a good cheesy pizza. They have a very nice variety of beverages both alcoholic & non alcoholic, I really enjoyed the cold water with lemon & oranges slices.
  
  The inside is very comfortable,  clean and decorated nicely, just wished they had air conditioning as we all were sweating while dining inside (it was a hot weekend in the 100's during our visit).
  
  If we ever find ourselves back I would not hesitate to visit again! Definitely recommend!!

  This is some of the best pizza I've had in the Auburn area. Absolutely delicious. We got half meat with red sauce, half white sauce/sausage/spinach/mushroom/onion.
  
  The employees were sweet as can be and the view watching the rafters from the deck was icing on the cake.
  
  We are SO coming back!
