Had my daughter's 26th B-day at Fredo's in Bakersfield with the family and it did not disappoint. Right when we walked in, the vibe felt welcoming and relaxed, perfect spot to sit down, enjoy a good meal, and just unwind. You can tell this place has a strong local following, and after eating here, it makes sense why. The food was straight up delicious. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can taste the quality in every bite, nothing felt rushed or thrown together. Definitely one of those spots where you leave full and already thinking about what you're ordering next time. Service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time without being over the top. That kind of service always stands out. Overall, great food, great service, and a solid atmosphere. Me and the family will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Excellent food as always. Had the Italian Stallion pizza with spicy sauce and an amazing Caesar salad. Salad was fresh and very tasty, also shareable. Wine selection is below average. Tried 3 different wines before we selected. Wine tasted 2-3 days old. Could be better. read more

Fredo’s - Italian stallion pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I came here with my girlfriend for the first time, the seating can be a little limited but they have a really nice bar and an upstairs patio for reservations. The music and decor are such a vibe, great for date night or catching up with a friend. The bruschetta app was delicious, the pizza was good, but there wasn't anything too special about it. Next time I come, I'm definitely gonna get the bruschetta appetizer again and I'm gonna try out one of their cocktails. Everything was made fresh so I will be back. read more

Fredo’s - Pepporoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This place is such a vibe. it's dark, moody and really makes me wanna listen to Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin. We came in for an early dinner as elder Millennials and were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't super busy, overly loud and that we were seated immediately. We had a few minutes to look over the drink menu first. My husband went with his classic Margarita, and I tried the one in a Melon. HOLY COW were the drinks STRONG!!! We decided to get a pepperoni pizza and the bruschetta. The pizza was large enough to feed both of us. Though the menu was limited, I loved everything we tried!! The pizza was perfectly cooked with a nice cheese pull and the bruschetta was fresh - with the peach salsa giving it an elevated flavor! I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu items and more of their well mixed drinks! read more

I came back to Fredo's last night & was not pleased with how the shrimp add-on to a dish still cost $5, but now I get 5 pieces of shrimp instead of 7 like last time. A dollar per shrimp is insane. Service was very slow & it was a weeknight, so not too busy. My friend waited for her pizza well over 15 minutes after everyone else got their food. Our server was very friendly. The restaurant looked great. I'm just displeased at the prices & slow service. read more

Fredo's is seriously a picture-perfect date night spot. The place looks absolutely beautiful, like a little fairytale moment tucked into real life. The vibe alone sets the mood before you even sit down. Our host was so pleasant and welcoming, and since it was our first time, she gave us helpful little insights that made the experience feel extra special. Of course we had to go with the pizza! It was exquisite. Perfectly made, full of flavor, and worth every bite. And the drinks? Ice cold and thirst-quenching in the best way. Everything just hit the spot from the Romantic aura, delicious pizza and just a whole vibe was a great experiece read more

Came in on a Tuesday and I was very impressed walking in. Beautiful space that was very inviting. We were created warmly and were seated quickly. The menu is not large but the quality of the food is great. That pistachio pizza was one of the top 5 pizzas I've ever had. The cocktails were very delicious as well. Our server was great; she gave some wonderful suggestions. A great place for a girls night out or date night can't wait to go back. read more

Oh my goodness gracious. This rigatoni diavolo with shrimp was outstanding! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the pasta was done to perfection. The sauce was spicy but still very flavorful. Even though I was already stuffed by the end, I still wanted more. The atmosphere is so cute and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly nice. read more

Fredo’s - Shrimp pasta - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Easiest date night choice! Isn't crazy expensive, great environment, and wonderful food. The pizzas are more Italian adjacent than American which I just love. Cocktails will cost you around ~$15 which I think is fair everything considered. This would be top five for me if I wanted to sit and have drinks with friends or if I wanted a nice dinner that isn't insanely formal. I have nothing bad to say! read more

Fredo’s - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Stopped in for a bite and ended up pleasantly surprised by the pizza here. The crust had that perfect balance--light and airy with a nice char, yet still sturdy enough to hold up the toppings without getting soggy. The tomato sauce was rich and well-seasoned, and the mozzarella melted beautifully across the top in creamy, gooey pockets. I also appreciated the little pools of olive oil and the slightly crisped edges of the cured meat (prosciutto or perhaps speck?)--they added a lovely savory depth. This wasn't your average pizza--it felt more like a true Neapolitan-style pie done with care. If you're into wood-fired pizza with quality ingredients and a rustic vibe, this one's worth a stop plus not to mention the friendly service. read more

Had the loveliest time at Fredo's. We came in early and were able to choose our table. Service was pretty quick and our waiter was very helpful. Everyone is very friendly. The pistachio pizza was heavenly and the drinks were phenomenal. Limited menu but I can see the effort and burst of flavor in each bite with the food we ordered. The overall ambiance is stunning. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants downtown. read more

Came here on a Sunday, quiet and chill environment. Staff was nice but I do have to say service was slow when there were only 3 tables occupied including ourselves. Food was good we ordered the Italian Stallion & Rigatoni Al Pesto Cremoso. Wouldn't say I was absolutely amazed by the food but it was good and a place where you can grab a quick bite after work and have a drink. The decor is cool with lots of unique plants. read more

Old-fashioned guy right here, and let me tell you Fredo's knows how to do it right. It's not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced. One of the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommend pairing it with the pistachio pizza sounds odd at first, but trust me, it works. As a photographer and videographer, I also have to give a shoutout to the ambiance. The lighting here is clean and warm, great for snapping a quick pic or selfie without needing filters. It's the kind of spot that looks as good as it tastes. Definitely coming back. read more

Fredo’s - Old Fashion - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Fredo's Pizza in Bakersfield absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and the service was on point. Roberto was our waiter and he was a straight 10/10; attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect without ever being overbearing. We also had the chance to meet Fredo himself, which honestly made the whole experience even better. Super genuine guy, easy to talk to, and you can tell he really cares about what he's built. That kind of passion shows in the food and the atmosphere. Shoutout to the bartender too. We didn't catch his name, but also a 10/10. Drinks were made perfectly and service was quick even when things got busy. Between the food, the service, and the people, this place is the real deal. If you're in Bakersfield and haven't been to Fredo's yet, you're missing out. read more

The crust is to DIE for!!!!!! the flavor was on point, but for me is was razor thin, TOO thin for me and im a thin guy. maybe needed cooked a bit longer, idk but all in all, i love the style of pizza. Going to try The Pep next go round. Service was fast and friendly. You dont want to blink or you will miss it. Had to drive around and just park with hazards on so my daughter could grab it real quick. She said it was Nice inside. read more

We went for the pizza, the place is very boho chic with plants. Went on a Friday and it was very loud. We were placed in the back. Our orders, which was 4 pizzas and sodas took about an hour. There waiter was friendly and apologized. The pizzas were fancy pizzas, not like at your regular pizza place. For what we paid, I would have just went somewhere else. It wasn't for me. read more

Service was good. Nice wait staff. Food was good. Prices a little high for pizza but not the end of the world. Our only issue we had was where they sat us. Our backs were up against what I think is their dish washer? Or some kind of fridge. So we had heat radiating on our backs the whole time during our visit. I would definitely return as long as it is not the hot seat. read more

A couple of my friends suggested that we got drinks together at Fredo's. It's a gorgeous upscale restaurant and bar. It's definitely a great place to sit down and chat with friends over food and drinks in comparison to other places. The service was great! We were seated quickly, and our server was quite affable. I ordered the "Pardon My French." It was a delectable cocktail that blends the neutral flavor of vodka with bright and zesty notes of passion fruit, lavender, and blackberries. It's garnished with a dried orange slice to enhance its presentation, but the flavors truly speak for themselves. Together, my friends and I shared a charcuterie board. It consisted of burrata cheese, brie cheese, three different cured meats, olives, jam, honey, pistachios, chocolate chips, and crackers. It was a good accompaniment of sweet and savory. I'm excited to come back here again. Maybe I'll try their pizza next time, but I know for sure I'll be looking forward to their drinks. read more

Inside gives me New York loft vibes which means hard surfaces the music bounces off of. We ordered happy hour bruschetta, Italian stallion pizza and cannolli for dessert. Ordered the Goat cocktail. Let's break this down. Prices were not terrible that is a plus. The cocktail menu had different options another plus. Breaking down the cocktail may not be fair. The Goat had clarified blue cheese. Sipping you can taste the gin with an after taste of funk but I knew it might not be for my palate. This is a unique drink and flavor. The appetizer was fine happy hour was smaller which was fine. The Italian stallion pizza is advertised as sausage, mushrooms, onions, and garlic confit. All you taste is sausage I dont think I had a mushroom and when you got a prices of the garlic it was delicious there just wasn't enough. Cannolies were not good, the filling was grainy with no taste. Overall I can say I tried it maybe I would bring out of town guests for a unique cocktail but this will not be on my rotation. Service while attentive we still had to ask for everything and the waitress talked more with other staff than customers. read more

Fredo’s - Pistachio Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Tucked beneath the soft glow of its cursive neon sign, Fredo's doesn't announce itself with bravado -- it seduces you quietly, through the hum of conversation, the faint crackle of a live fire, and the perfume of scorched dough and melted cheese that escapes each time the oven door opens. Inside, the space feels modern yet grounded -- sleek wood floors and leafy vines soften the clean lines and industrial ducts overhead. It's equal parts cocktail lounge and Italian hearth, a rare balance that somehow works. At the heart of it all stands the brick oven -- pale, dome-shaped, alive with flame -- the kind of centerpiece that makes you want to linger and watch the dance between dough and fire. The pizzas here aren't rushed. Each one carries the kind of blistered edge and supple chew that can only come from patience and precision. The standout of the evening was the Pesto Pistachio Pizza, a visual and sensory marvel. The crust, blistered and leopard-spotted, offered that ideal balance of airy lift and crisp snap. Each bite was layered -- first the warmth of the crust, then the bright, almost grassy richness of the basil pesto, and finally the cool, slightly tangy dollops of ricotta that melted just enough to become part of the sauce. The crushed pistachios scattered over the top gave a subtle crunch and a whisper of sweetness that tied it all together. It's the kind of dish that shouldn't work on paper but feels inevitable once you taste it. Fredo's feels like a conversation between old-world craftsmanship and new-school California design -- a place that understands that good pizza is as much about atmosphere as it is about ingredients. It's where a night out can start with a drink under soft light and end with a crust so perfectly charred it borders on art. If there's one truth this place captures, it's that simplicity -- when handled with care -- can still surprise you. And at Fredo's, it does, one fire-kissed pie at a time. read more

We visited Fredo's on 19th Street around 5:20 p.m. on a Saturday -- which also happened to be Valentine's Day -- so we expected it to be busy. They open at 5:00, and when we walked in, the entire first floor was already almost full, so there must have been a line before we arrived. The ambience was beautiful and inviting, and since it was our first time there, we were excited to finally try it after wanting to visit for a while. The hostess initially went upstairs to look for a table, but we had to let her know we weren't able to walk up the stairs. It would have been nice if accessibility had been noticed or asked about beforehand, especially for guests who may have mobility limitations. That said, once we mentioned it, she did accommodate us with a table on the first floor toward the back near the kitchen. We could hear some dishwashing sounds, but honestly the music selection made up for it -- they played a great mix of oldies and mellow songs that really matched the vibe. We even complimented our waiter on it because it fit the restaurant perfectly. We ordered the mango and shrimp ceviche, which was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and definitely a standout. The only downside was the chips served with it. They were extremely hard and very large, which made them difficult to eat. I had just been to the dentist the day before, so I had to break them apart and chew carefully. I even had to tell my boyfriend to be careful while eating them because I didn't want him to choke. I asked if there might be a softer option like crackers, but there weren't any available (though the waiter kindly offered to open another bag). Unfortunately, the replacement chips were just as hard. Aside from those small issues, we had a wonderful experience. The pesto pistachio pizza was amazing, my drink was great, and overall it was such a nice evening out. We definitely plan on coming back, and this could easily become one of our regular spots. If they ever switched to softer, smaller chips for the ceviche and were a bit more attentive to accessibility needs at seating, it would easily be a five-star experience. read more

By far the best cocktail program in town!!! Whether you are having one of their signature cocktails or letting them create something based on your preferences you are not going to be disappointed. Not normally a fan of sweetness in my cocktails but the tamarind in 88 miles per hour just take the drink to the next level. Have always gotten friendly and prompt service and chatted with the staff. At times drink do take a bit to come to you but for the quality it is worth the wait (they do not batch cocktails ahead of time like a lot of places in town). read more

After coming here twice, here is my personal experience. Mind you these are just my opinions. My meh is someone else's greatest of all time. Pros: -Drinks are great. I love that they have a creative menu and a classic menu. I love their melon drink and have enjoyed the others they supplied. -Decor is good and clean. Knowing what this space has been the last few years, it's interesting to see it as a restaurant. I have a soft spot for the space. -The wait staff here is very sweet and pretty attentive. Were very helpful and got me things i requested when I did. Cons/Nit picks: - The Pizza sauce is spicy. Not a bad thing. But as the base sauce for all their pizzas? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. With the peach and salmon pizza, the sweetness combatted it. With a less sweet pizza? My partner had no issues, but I was slogging through it. I'm a solid medium heat girl and that last bite was tough. I was spitting out red pepper seeds. I wish they would let us know or give us the option of spicy or not. I keep forgetting and it's a surprise every time. -Seasoning was lacking. Ordered their bruschetta and it needed salt. Same with the pizza with the burrata cheese. The salted meat on the bottom is not enough to carry the dish. I had to ask for salt and pepper. I can see what they are trying to do, but it missed the mark a bit. I love trying out new and unique flavor combinations, but if you have a dish under seasoned or lack sometime that doesn't tie it together, it leaves for a lackluster experience. -Thin crust and thick toppings leads to a soggy pizza. I adore their pizza crust, but both times coming I had a mild issue with toppings. With the salmon and peach pizza, I wished the peaches were sliced instead of cubed. It made it harder to eat the pizza when they kept falling off. With the one with had this last time, the large, cold, piece of burrata quick made the center soggy and hard to maneuver. Overall the food quality and service isn't the issue. I can tell that they have good wait staff and good quality ingredients. Drinks are just great. They however miss the mark when it comes to finishing touches and for the price of the food, I want to the taste as well as the presentation. I do plan to stop by one more time to try their most traditional pizzas, but this has been my experience so far. read more

Fredo’s - Acapulco gold cocktail! - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The music was very loud and had lots of curse words and inappropriate lyrics. I'm glad we didn't bring the kids, but there were some young ones there whose parents did seem uncomfortable. Trying too hard to be trendy. I ordered a drink off of the menu and was told they don't make that anymore. Ok... I ordered another and it was at least strong. The pistachio pizza was interesting. Good! More like a dessert pizza. The pepperoni was a puddle of grease and very unappetizing. I may go back for a takeout of pistachio pizza or perhaps a calzone, but wouldn't choose to dine in again. read more

This was my second visit, and the weekend vibe was completely different from before. We ordered the Margherita pizza, and it showed up undercooked and overpriced. What really stood out, though, was the noise. The music was so loud I couldn't even hear my date--he had to lean in and joked that his hair was vibrating. The whole place felt more like a club than a restaurant, and it just didn't fit the setting at all. Do your eardrums a favor and skip this spot. I wouldn't recommend it. The only good thing was that we didn't have to wait long for our pizza. read more

We picked up pizza to go and it was wonderful from center to crust. We tried four varieties: Regular cheese Margarita Pistachio Peach and salmon The margarita basil was tiny. I could have definitely used some larger leaves. The red sauce had lots of flavor The peach and salmon was unique for me. The sweet and savory combination worked very well The pistachio was creamy but I think it could have used some sharpness from an acid or maybe Parmesan. The ambiance inside the restaurant is nice. The downtown charm is present along the lovely brass bar structure. read more
