My son brought their pizza home last night. It seemed as if someone had spilled a pitcher of water in the bottom of the pan then transferred the pie to a dry box. I used a spatula to take the slices out of the box then scraped the veggies off to eat them. I saw little cheese, even after removing and enjoying the veggies. I left the crust on a plate overnight to see what would happen when it "dried out." It didn't; it is still a mushy mess 12 hours later. read more

Ishmael manager. Took my delivery order and said delivery is running a little over an hour. Took 2 hours to bring pizza to my house which is 6 blocks away. The. Offered no discount or apology. Told me "I told you it would take more than an an hour" last time I checked a little over an hour does not mean 2 hours. 4th horrible experience in last 4 months. I don't know what has changed. This used to me my favorite joint to hang and watch a game and for delivery. #downhillfast #sucks #badbusiness Booooooo read more

I'm confused by all the positive reviews. A friend and I went here for lunch and both got the lunch special pastas (different ones, with different sauces). Both sauces were so liquified they didn't really stay on our pastas. Also the pasta itself was mushy and way overcooked. The garlic bread was a roll or bun thing with butter and garlic powder and was burnt. I haven't had the pizza but have no desire to try it. My friend stopped trusting concord yelp because of this place. read more

Always loved Bambino's food I'm not a huge pizza lover but their pizza is good. I always like the pasta and sandwiches better but that's my preference. I've gotten the garlic bread chicken sandwich multiple times very good and nice portion comes with a small serving of pasta. When I dined in they even changed the spaghetti to Alfredo for me they don't normally do that. Great atmosphere especially on Sundays for football season everyone's having a great time and enjoying good food with the game. Even baseball is on all the time. The owner is very nice and waitresses are great. Service is quick and they check in you a bunch! read more

A crowded parking lot with every spot taken is always a good sign. My husband had to park across the street but we knew it would be worth it. Until we got the pizza home. Love the chunky vegetables and plentiful meats on your XL Special and The fact it's not swimming in grease... Perfecto. Not even halfway through our first slice we both looked at each other and then at the bottom of the crust and realized it was waaaaay over cooked - pretty darned close to burnt in taste and with the lights on... the sausage showed scorched signs as well. Bummer! Really disappointed and more so that we had to dispose of the rest of the pie read more

We got a meat pizza, rigatoni pasta with meatballs, ceasar salad and a eggplant parm dish. The pizza was ok, salad was a salt BOMB! Too much dressing super salty. My cousin had the meatballs and she said that was good. I had the eggplant, it was not cooked through. crunchy eggplant is bad news and also super salty. read more

Got takeout. Very runny watery pasta sauce alfredo, may have been watered down milk heated up...not a real sauce, lacking any flavor at all...I doubt they put any parmasean in it, it had zero salt and parm is salty. Cutting corners to get a greater profit margin... doughy tortellini, could not taste cheeses... there was very little, tasted frozen... cheap tasting cheesecake that was old and a tiny slice, with groess processed strawberry sauce. I don't think they make anything fresh or real, it's a heated up meal, I've had better microwave meals. The bread was ok. I won't be back, I was on hold 5 minutes on phone before I could even order and the while on hold it was so loud and the conversation was overheard, too... not professional. Then the lady yelled at me saying she could not hear me to take my order and had to get someone else on the phone I had to yell into the phone for them to hear me. They should move their phone to the back so it isn't so loud. However, the service was timely and the food made it home warm. I wouldn't waste your money here. read more

We ordered from them for the first time last night. Unfortunately, they had troubles finding our house and getting the pizza to us within a reasonable amount of time. Fortunately, they reprimanded the situation immediately and offered to give us the pizza gratis. Fortunately, the gal I spoke to on the phone was a sweet peach and did everything she could to provide excellent customer service. Fortunately, the delivery dude was sincerely apologetic and very nice and didn't even want to take a tip (which we forced him to take!). Fortunately, their product - the pizza! - was pretty damn good! The pizza wasn't soggy despite the double sauce order, the crust was a good amount of crunchy, the cheese was flavorful without being too oily, the sauce was the boss and the basil was fresh. Our new go to delivery hot spot. read more

I was wondering if this place was rated on their pizza or, their pasta. Their pasta kind of has a thumbs down from all of us. We were going on up so, this was our pitstop. We all left unsatisfied. Fetuccine alfredo was runny (very watery). Should have taken a picture. The spaghetti looked like top ramen (and tasted like it). Mine was ok .. Service was kind of meh because it took awhile to get our order. Maybe because we were hidden from the waiter/ waitress. They were kind of busy but, after awhile the place kind of emptied out. read more

Not so good as they rave on yelp, our pizza was watery and and when I say watery there was juices from the veggies /toppings along the edge of the platter never seen this before. Also beer was warm and despite after returning it to the server we still were not compensated for a new pitcher. And to top it of the manager some short guy is extremely RUDE!!! Won't be going back . read more

My boyfriend and I are extremely picky when it comes to pizza, we want the crust to be smoky and cooked through, soft yet chewy in the right places, ample toppings and cheese that is still smooth and creamy as opposed to being bubbled up and burnt. Although reading that makes it seem like a reasonable request, obviously not. In the year we have lived in Concord, we have searched for the best pizza with many,many dissapointments and finally we have found it at Bambino's Last night we ordered a Large half mushroom, half pepperoni pizza and my boyfriend ordered the pan seared shrimp as an appetizer. He said the shrimp are the best in Concord and the sauce was delicious and flavorful, being Italian himself, he compared it to his familys' cioppino sauce. The pizza was actually split in half with the toppings and they didn't blend over into the other side as if someone actually took a moment to think about this pizza they were making. It was so delicious, we felt like we were ninja turtles! *update* The calzones are the best I have ever had! read more

First the food, had salad, pizza and a chicken sandwich. Pizza was indistinguishable from Dominos or Mountain Mikes, meaning is was very bland and boring. Simple crust that was more like bread than pizza crust, topped with tasteless sauce, cheese, toppings. Chicken sandwich was even worse, rubbery chicken that seemed like it had been cooked long ago served with overcooked pasta and a very basic tomato sauce that was pretty bad. Tomatoes on the salad were about 1 day past the point that they should have been served. However the worst part of the whole experience was the service. Was able to order and get our food in a reasonable amount of time but after that our waitress disappeared. About 20 minutes after we finished I finally waived her down to ask for a check, another 15 pass as she gets it and takes my credit card. Then 30 minutes pass (not joking, timed it on the clock on the wall) and still not returned, she seemed to be avoiding me. Finally I went up to the front desk and still waited another 10 minutes while chaos ensued. I'd give them a break if they were understaffed but they had 3 waitstaff for 14 tables and after watching them run about (lots of time on my hands) realized that they were just completely unorganized. read more

My girl and the kids wanted pasta and pizza a couple weeks ago so we came by Bambino's, and I must say everything was amazingly satisfying. The service was excellent and so was the staff. Pizza and pasta was bomb and the beer options were perfect for a pizza spot. read more

Bambino's - Italian Near Me - Concord, California

See all

We were looking someplace that offered a quick Lunch, and I remembered seeing an All you can Eat Pizza and Salad deal. The place is tucked in a small Plaza next to Diggers Diner and 7-11 off of Farm Bureau. We arrived about 1pm and took advantage of the Salad Bar. The Pizza was out, but plenty more was on the way. The Salad Bar had cold Anti pasta, Mac Salad, and Potato Salad to go along with the usual Salad Bar Fixings. The only knock on the Salad Bar was that there was only 2 types of Dressings. Ranch, and Bleu Cheese were the only ones they offered. They also had Peaches and Pineapples. I was glad to see Cottage Cheese and lots of Parmesan cheese. My lil' one devoured the Fusili Pasta with Parmesan and Black Olives. The Pizza was Hot and they had 2 types. Pepperoni, and Combination. The Pizza was good, but I think I was filled up on Iced Tea and Salad. The Iced Tea has unlimited Refills, as well as the Sodas. The Raspberry Iced tea is not Refillable. I was also stoked that they had a small Arcade and a Pool Table. They had Street Fighter II and I was in Heaven. I remember playing this in my early 20's while working at Golfland. This is the original one with the 9 Characters. There were also Large Tv's playing Sports and they had Beers on Tap. Maybe I'll watch my Sport's teams here . Definitely worth the $6.50 for the Lunch Deal. The Deal runs Mon-Friday 11am-3pm and it is possibly the Best deal in town for the price. Playing a Nostalgic Video game from your past, priceless- read more

Great place. Great service & always has a good crowd. The meatballs are amazing.

Got a haircut next store and then dropped in to order some pies to go. The place was your typical pizza joint with a few tvs around and a small crowd. Bartender was nice and the large beer was delicious but was overpriced by about $3 compared to the same size at other places. We ordered two large pizzas to go and they were so so. One was half cheese and half Special - the cheese was decent, the special had a decent amount of toppings. Flimsy crust, not crispy was probably the biggest let down. Thus, "so so" for the pies and given that, they're alittle pricey - about $23/large pizza. For what the family thought, they're on par with $16-17 pizzas elsewhere. Thus 3 out of 5. read more

Horrible customer service! I called and got hung up on 3 times after being asked to hold..when I called back a fourth time a young man raised his voice and told me I wasn't hung up on I was asked to hold....I asked for a manager ..at first he said there wasn't one available..then put a very sweet woman on the phone..who tried to apologize. Not trusting to order I called another pizza place. Too bad I know the owner well and have been coming there for years...guess it's busy enough there they can lose patrons.. read more

Calzones= HUGE!! A small seriously can feed two people!! Ordered over the phone and the server did not mention they have mini sizes of calzones. Small ( 6 squares) can comfortable feed one hungry person, I barely made a dent in. The medium (8 squares) seriously can feed two people! Mozz/ricotta cheese..simple yet oh so good. Crispy edges filled with plenty of ooey gooey cheese topped with more cheese. when you bite into the center the cheese is never ending. The dough is soft, I like the edges so it was crisp yet chewy. I would come back to try other toppings. read more

Really chill spot. We got there before 7pm and got a pitcher of stella on happy hour which was a plus. The lasagna was good. Not the best I've ever had, but it was decent and a good portion size. I would order it again... The waitress was really friendly and even though she was swamped, took the time to answer questions and seemed to take an interest in us as customers. Check it out if you want some comfort italian food in a relaxing environment... read more

This is a pretty good pizza joint that has a variety of menu items other than Pizza. However I came here for the pizza. The vegetarian was pretty good. A great sour dough crust with just enough toppings. read more

Food is good but the kitchen staff can't keep up with orders.There we're four people in our group.The orders came out at different times.Not to organized.Don't think we will go back. read more

You absolutely cannot go wrong at Bambino's in Concord. I eat and drink at Bambino's at least once a week. I've tried just about everything they have on their menu, and I've never been dissapointed. Their prices are unbeatable, especially when you consider the quality of the food. I cannot say enough about this place. Hand's down my favorite place to eat in my hometown of Concord. read more

Great local Resturant where the owner is involved. For example he hosted our Girl Scout troop for a hands on show and tell about how Restaurants work. The staff is great with children (please only bring the well behaved type). They keep them engaged and interact well. The pizza is fantastic! During the above Girl Scout trip we did not see anything but fresh ingredients read more

Bambino's gets an A. Yummy pizza and pasta. The prices are good. The staff is friendly. Especially Ish and Emily. Cozy pizza/bar atmosphere.

Always a favorite! My hubby and I love the 'Zorba' pizza. This month Bambinos is on Concord's Comfort Trail-so here we are. Seven TVs to watch all the seasonal games, 'L' shaped bar and many seating areas for the family. read more

Updating!!!!! Okay soooo delivery kind of sucks. BUT. The pizza is yummy. Consistently. Easy location in concord. You can also use their 12 buck coupon for a large pepperoni. Their location is large and great for watching a game. I wanna give kudos to the sweet waitress there.... I left my card and she held onto it for me. They have a honey basil martini which is also excellent! We will continue to go here cause of their great pizza, prices, and integrity! read more

They are nice enough to give free bread when dining in. So I've always wanted to come here because I know people who visit this place with their fam traditionally when summer starts. It wasn't good and here's why I say that... The bruschetta I ordered was about 2.8 out of 5 stars it was seasoned well I just expected balsamic or basil to be visible on it. It was basically garlic, tomatoes, salt, and bell peppers which was kind of new for me. The bread that they serve it on was baked fresh so I appreciated that but it wasn't anything spectular. The 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 meat lovers pizza was very bland. It is fresh dough but I think my standards for basically cheese bread tends to be pretty high. There was a substantial amount of meat on there so no lacking in toppings but I'd only come to this place by invite (and somebody else paying) totally not the kind of mom and pop shop I'd visit. However since I did I'm giving my honest opinion ... The place isn't very clean and I'm not sure that I would want to return. I've heard from the family that comes here at least annually during the summer that they had a bug issue a long time ago, hopefully that's under control. My server was a young lady who didn't have the best people skills but did her job pretty well. She also seemed to be a little dazed but it could've been just me. The music was a delight.. oldies on Sundays I suppose. It was a good experience just not necessarily my cup of tea. My cousin who also ate the pizza said he prefers pieology over this place and kind of came off as ungreatful to the person who invited us both, and paid. They have beer on tap which was cool, I was advised next time if I come here to try the calzone.. so maybe that's better then their pizza. I added parm, garlic salt, pepper and chili flakes and it still lacked flavor. Congrats on being a staple in the community and for also holding space for quite a while as I can tell from the out dated booths, you more than likely won't be seeing pretty Brown again though. Oh, the person who invited us grew up just a quarter mile away from this place which is why she recommended it. The food arrived in a decent amount of time. read more

HAPPY HOUR! We have enjoyed pizza and wings. The pizza surprised us as I didn't honestly come in with high expectations. The wings were standard but cooked well. Now the price was very reasonable and unexpected. We have returned a few times and I kept forgetting to put this up. read more

I was just here on New Year's Eve around 8pm. After such a bad day for me personally the staff there was so friendly and in good spirits despite working on a holiday (which i felt bad for even coming in) and it made my bad day a little better. Just wanted to give a shout out to my server i forget her name but she was incredibly nice and checked in multiple times with my partner and I. Just wanted to give her credit for turning my bad day around and ending it on a positive note with her sweet aura, can't forget to mention the food was SO good perfect comfort food. read more

New girl in town and I'm loving being just down the street. Since they offer a 15% military discount, I'm there at least once a week....dine in.....take out.....have a glass of wine...... Food is always fresh, tasty, a good meal and a good value. The service is so fun! Bar keep is attentive and a good chat, wait staff is welcoming and food keeps me coming back. Night manager knows my drink of choice and pours as soon as I walk in. What more could this neighbor ask for? Haven't tried the buffet lunch yet but the locals seem to all love it. Hat's off to Bambino's, simply the best in Concord !!! read more

Bambino's staff is always very kind and welcoming! The pizza is absolutely the best!! We moved to Bay Point two years ago and when we first moved here realized there were not many good options for pizza delivery. Even though Bambino's is in Concord they deliver to our neighborhood in Bay Point! Yum!! Try them and you won't be disappointed! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The pizza is delicious and the waitress is fantastic. We've been there a few times and somehow she remembers that I'm vegetarian. Remembering the sauteed mushrooms makes my mouth water and the jalapeno poppers are a yummy treat. It's family owned and fairly priced, win, win. read more

Perhaps the reason I gave such a good review before was the plethura of green beer. We came here on a Friday night becasue we had a gift certificate. There was maybe 2 small tables occupied and a big party of 15ish people. It took them forever to bring us water, but they were kind of pushy for the order. We ordered apps. The awesome mushrooms were awesome like the last time. We asked how many peices of garlic bread came per order and we were told 8. It was just a sandwich roll with cheese. We ordered 2 pizzas and were told it would be about 35 minutes because they had just put in the last pizzas of a 17 pizza order. No prob. 45 minutes later we asked the very cool waitress if she had an update. She said it should be about 10 more minutes and she thought our pizzas were next. It ended up being over an hour and 15 minutes. I was pissed, not because we waited forever, but no one kept us posted. And, it was ridiculous that we waited that long any way. It takes about 8 minutes to cook a pizza, and they were not that busy. The waitress said she spoke with the manager about my gift certificate and they would accept it as long as we spent $30. Seriously? Such shit service and no mention of an apology they just wanted to make sure they got their $30 first. They suck and I hate them. Mushrooms get 2 stars. read more

What a disappointment 2 meals to go we both had spaghetti, it was sour. So I took the meals back to the restaurant, the girl at the counter said she would get her manager, I waited 18 min then another girl comes to the counter, I explained the situation she said "what do you want me to do"? Then she proceeded to say "no one else complained" so I was passed on to another employee he says "what's the problem" I explained he said "what time did you get the order" 2PM then asked me "why did I wait so long to return it" had it for lunch had to return to work it was 5 PM. So then I was told have to wait for manager he will be here 30 min. Come back in 30 min. Called Bambinos after 40 min asked to talk to manager I was told he won't be in till tomorrow. Horrible customer service.They got there food back and kept the money. read more

Bambino's is in the neighborhood and am so glad I choose to try their food. Found all great. good food, fast deliver and everyone is happy. We will be back. read more

Absolutely LOVE Bambino's! They have delicious gluten free pizza AND pasta! At least once a month we get 2 pizzas. I highly recommend the BBQ chicken pizza, the vegetarian pizza or the Bambino's Special. Packed full of toppings and the perfect amount of cheese and sauce. The gluten free alfredo is amazing! Super friendly staff consistently providing the best customer service. Delivery providers are always in a friendly mood. Best pizza in the area hands down! read more

After a very long day of softball we wanted to grab something to eat prior to our drive home. I searched on Yelp for something close by and Bambinos came up. Reviews looked good so we headed over. Emily was amazing. She got waters on the table in no time flat. Just what exhausted softball players, coaches, and parents needed. We ordered pizzas and a couple appetizers. The pizza was awesome with good flavor and no skimping on toppings. We all loved it. My husband even gave the cooks some hot peppers to enjoy :) I would highly recommend this great place. read more

Wow!!!! What awesome service and wholehearted people who work here! The pizza is amazing and everything about these guys is top notch!

I knew it, I should have gone to Digger's next door instead! But dammit, Mike got the better of all of us and talked us into eating at Bambino's instead! Pizza was pretty decent, but nothing to write home about. What totally killed me was the Fettucini Alfredo. Second worst Fettucini Alfredo I have ever eaten! There wasn't enough sauce to properly coat the pasta, what sauce there was was super bland, and the chicken was dry and tasteless. Not to mention that the portion was quite small for the price (maybe a good thing in this case?). The only redeeming virtue of the dish was that the pasta was al dente. Seriously, I was really disappointed. 3 stars for the pizza and bread, plus the service wasn't half bad. -1 for the poor pasta. I really wanted to like Bambino's. Too bad. read more

BS - Good pizza - Great Pasta and entree' - Delivers - Decently priced - Takes Competitors' Coupons I've had Bambino's one other time and honestly it didn't impress me too much. I prefer Christopher's over Bambino's any day. Bambino's pizza reminded me of pizza guys' a little bit too much. But on to why it's good! We ordered the family meal. What's so AWESOME about Bambino's is that they can deliver pizza and pasta! and it's not no crappy pizza hut pasta, it's pretty good! Our family meal consisted of: Fettucine Alfredo, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Chicken Parmiagna, Garlic bread, Bread rolls, steamed broccoli and a family size salad! It was only 30 bucks for everything. I was really impressed. And it was great because it was delivered! No reason to have to go out and get pasta! When we ordered our family meal, they let us change our fettucine to alfredo instead of the Fettucine Primavera that the coupon prescribed. We also got a Ceasar salad instead of the house salad. But the dressing wasn't very good smelling or looking. It looked like honey mustard but we didn't try to taste it. Anyways everything was delivered quickly. Our delivery guy was nice and the person on the phone really helped me on all of the questions I had about the family meal. I've never really ordered pasta for delivery. I'll definitely be eating Bambino's again. Maybe try the pizza again, we'll see. It definitely has great options for delivery and the meal was huge we ate it for lunch and dinner and still had some left over! read more
