    Nice staff, nice bartender. Nice clean and open airy dining room. People must come here to booze it up or the nice beer selection on tap. Maybe they come for the wings? They certainly dont come for the pan pizza, whos crust tAkes you back to elementary school. Maybe the school pizza was better? Maybe? All I had was the pan pizza and a brew. 3 GENEROUS stars for the nice bartender gentleman on Thursday night. My search continues for great pizza in Kern County.

    I really wanted to like Bakersfield Pizza Co and it wasn't the worst but it wasn't anything that blew me away and made me excited to rush back. I had the Italian Trio and as you can see from the picture several of the toppings were burned, not toast, just burned. It added that burned scent and flavor to the pizza and brought it down for me. The cheese pizza was fine, it was a pretty standard cheese and the sauce was a little light for my liking. I also found the crust to be a bit chewy and not in a good way. It wasn't a great first impression but I'll probably give it another shot because the potential is there, they are generous with the toppings and very friendly so maybe it was just an off night.

    I've been meaning to try this place since I moved here 2 years ago. Visit started off great! Walked in and it has a nice vibey decore and good music on! Great menu, lots of classic and fun options! The cake display was calling my name as well. We went with the large pan pepperoni and olive pizza and a dozen wings, buffalo and garlic parm. Wings came first and were pretty good, fried and crisp the way I like em and the sauces were good 7/10. Pizza came and a little disappointing as we thought we were getting a thick pan pizza but looked pretty standard pizza thickness. Pizza was cut horribly and we made a mess first few slices. The taste was just ok probably a 5/10. But we both started noticing a very strange smell, I thought maybe the dough was bad it just fermented too long but it just kept getting stronger like urine. It ended up being the olives!! We didn't finish the rest of the pizza. We wanted to tell the manager but seemed kinda rude to force them to smell the olives so we just left it be. In hindsight probably should've just let them know and the balls in their court from there. On the bright side the olives weren't bad they actually tasted good just smelled bad. Since we were still hungry we ordered 2 slices of the cake from the counter that looked so good! $10 a slice. The driest cake I've ever had. It was almost a joke. Another $20 wasted!! Bad night! The crazy part is we're still willing to give them another shot for the pizza and wings, not the cake. But if it's bad a second time it'll be our last. Really hoped to leaving a five star but 3 was highest I was willing to go based off this visit! Also side note they keep the restaurant very clean and staff was pretty friendly as well!

    I give this place two stars. This was my first time here, unfortunately the customer service was not great. No help on ordering, the tone was not only bad toward us but to other customers as I was observing. I ordered a michelada and the person taking my order also asked what type of beer do I want with this, "I said Modelo". He offered boho for 1.00, of course I didn't pass this up. When the beer came I just received a Modelo which was no big deal. After I drank it I went to get my other one but ask for the michelada but the bartender said the bogo doesn't come with this and asked for my receipt. I showed him it and he then looked upset and talked to the persons taking orders but nothing was said to me. Whatever!! I ordered the sampler which was good. I also ordered the pan pizza, combination. The pizza came out and it looked good, but the dough was so dense and was not hot on the inside. It was chewy, I took it as a lost. The place is really big with nice seating and decor. I also ordered an additional regular Modelo it was a little over 8 bucks.

    The pizza was great, crust was made to order and perfect. All staff were friendly and happy hour at lunch on a Saturday- yes please! Definitely recommend.

    We grabbed take out for a work lunch, so good!! Their salads were probably my favorite, especially the Thai chicken one. A little spicy and lots of great texture. The pizza was really tasty, everyone had great things to say. The garlic bombs were super good, a little greasy from the cheese inside, but their marinara sauce is the best!! And the garlic was perfect. They have great lunch specials to check out. Also, their decor and atmosphere is really great and a total vibe.

    This place is a gem! I loved the old decor they had, this place could be perfect for a group or just for date night. I was pleasantly impressed by how clean everything was even though it was at the end of the night. We came for date night and decided to try one of their speciality pizzas, the hot honey chicken. It was absolutely delicious! The pickles had a crunch but not over powering, the crust was crispy, and chicken flavorful. Our bartender was quick and polite. Drinks 10 out of 10. My boyfriend got the old fashioned flight, he enjoyed each of them. My espresso martinis were strong and sweet! Can't wait to be back.

    Wide variety menu. Good food. Excellent service. Large screen TVs. Plenty of seating.

    We stopped here during the week. We placed our order at the front and sat ourselves. It was a Monday so there was plenty of seating for dinner. We had a medium pepperoni pizza crispy along with white garlic cream sauce. Pizza was good. A medium was more than enough for 2 of us to share. We also ordered a small thai salad that was a perfect share as well. Pizza and salad were good, although not a WOW for me. There are tvs here for watching sports. The service was neutral.

    Pepperoni, pizza, potato wedges, and wings
    Miranda A.

    Pepperoni, pizza, potato wedges, and buffalo bone and wings. I would rate this place a 2/5. Food looks a lot better than it taste.

    Bar menu and specials
    Mase R.

    Excellent service, the bar is fully stocked, even with a big selection of bourbons and ryes, the specials are awesome, the thin crust pizza was divine, thin as a cracker with the perfect amount of crunch and the garlic bombs with the 2 foot cheese pull, what a place!

    Who else has been stalking this place waiting for cheat day and or pay day to come here!? And ok ok also what is actually some main things I should try besides bombs and garlic bombs? My cheat day is special and must be worth it!

    The verde tots are great and the wings are awesome! I have never had anything there I didn't like.

    What's the best thing to order for a first timer?

We walked in without a reservation at 11:15 on a Friday and were the first customers of the day. Great decor, dim lighting, vintage looking furniture which does not sacrifice comfort for artistry. Our cocktails and meals were spectacular: Botanist Fashioned: 5/5-the brown sugar cinnamon syrup added a spicy bite to each sip which was unexpected and fun. Watermelon Sugar High:4/5-refreshing with watermelon juice freshly made in house and an ice cube with mint frozen in it. Seared cauliflower: 4/5-great appetizer for 2. The crispy chicken sandwich and the Botanist smash burger:5/5-Both had super flavorful pickles and toasted buns which always add a lovely crunch to each bite.

Little hidden gems. Lighting is dark with bits color and neon popping through. The Bar Top curves around the bar- there are two booths that seat 5-6 and two short tables next to them- one seats 4- the other will comfortably seat two. There are a few bench style seating areas at the front with some short coffee tables. Think- skater tiki bar. The drinks were good- small menu if you're not sure what you want or are new to tiki. Both sides of the menu are the same menu. There are some nice mocktail options as well- you don't see that often. The service for me is mixed- it wasn't busy- steady but not busy- 1/4 full. I ordered two drinks to start for our table- (no cocktail servers here/not unusual for a small Tiki bar) I asked for a soda water- the bartender looked at me without a word- popped open a can of soda water and walked away. When he walked back by, I asked for a glass of ice- he said nothing and I got an eye-roll huff. I almost left. I don't think providing a glass with ice to pour your canned room temp soda water in, is too wacky an idea to be perturbed by the request. The female who took the order was friendly, smiled and was professional. We got a third cocktail- the Mai Tai. The grumpy bartender was friendlier this time. So, that helped. Maybe he felt overwhelmed and I threw off his groove by asking for water- then a glass... either way- being annoyed wasn't cool. The music.... Wasn't Tiki- it threw off the "Tiki Vibe" and made it feel typical small local bar that serves only Tiki drinks with some Tiki decor. It didn't take you to the land of Tiki- disappointed. Drinks were good.
