Freda's Pizza - Sausage & Peppers 12" and Potato Bacon 12 ... better to just order a slice of toast :-( - Pizza Near Me - Camarillo, California

We came here and we're excited to check out their menu. My daughter had cheese pizza which she enjoyed. I ordered the beet salad but they were out of the honey goat cheese and offered to replace that with mozzarella. They did not put any mozzarella on it and there was almost no dressing, if any. I ended up requesting a side of dressing. The salad was underwhelming. They didn't put ice in the ice tea so we had to request ice. They had a Italian salad listed but it wasn't available yet. They had another item that looked good but also said "coming soon." My salad was no bueno. My mom had a sandwich with short rib and it was good. I wouldn't order a salad again and I hope they aren't running out of stuff next time I try this Place. I was sad. read more

The online pictures of the mixed salad don't do it justice. The mixed green salad with carrots, cucumbers, and picked hearts of palm with balsamic vinaigrette was delicious. The chicken wings were flavorful and well cooked. They even included ranch dressing, carrots and celery. The pizza was very good too. It was our first time trying Freda's Pizza because we were traveling and passing through Camarillo. I will back next time I am in town. read more

Pizza is best your going to get in Camarillo. That is not saying alot because pizza in general sucks in California. Here is where this business fails and always has. Its website has got to be the worst. It adds tips without your permission. You don't know if your ordering from the right location. You add your stuff in then it doesn't complete the he transaction. Whomever owns this business and if you read this, it's 2025 almost 2026. It's not 1999. The internet and websites actually work well these days. Maybe you want to pay attention to this. It loses you business. read more

The food here is so good! Great atmosphere for family time and also a nice casual place to hang out with friends. Their menu has something for everyone! My son is a picky eater but I can always rely on the fact he'll eat all of his pizza or smash burger & fries from this place. My personal favorites are the smash burger, chicken Caesar salad, & mushroom & truffle pizza. All of the food pairs so well with topa topa's beer too so it's hard to go wrong. read more

Sad to report, but the Camarillo Freda's location is coming up short - I've lost count, but this is probably my 5th trip in a row when I've been told that they are out of Caesar salad - really? Quite possibly the most basic salad to make - figure it out guys - maybe an owner should check in once in a while and see what the "teenage" staff is up to.....hmmmm!? - pizza usually pretty good read more

Great pizza and the salads were yummy as well. Sat outside with my dog and they brought her a water bowl. It was a warm day so that meant a lot to me and my baby. Definitely going back. read more

Top notch NY style pizza on the West Coast! I'm picky with pizza, always have been, always will be. Toppers gets the job done the same way Starbucks does, you know what you're getting each time. However, remember the time you hit a local coffee shop and things just felt different? There was a love to goods and service you don't find at bigger spots? I think that's what really set the tone for Freda's; homemade quality with a local pizzeria family service. This spot hits on a few cool dynamics; easy parking, the best local brewery shares the building and you can get your kids, date, etc an ice cream after. I ordered a NY cheese, large...it came out piping hot with just the right balance of chew, structure, char and flavor on the dough. Sauce and cheese were right on the money - def had a NY feel. I can imagine the place packs up during busy hours, but the layout is spacious and clean. I can't say enough about the beauty in lining up a handful of seasonal tasters from Topa and knocking down a fresh pie.. Solid spot that I'll continue recommending to many - can't wait to go back and get deeper into the menu. read more

Best dang pizza. The service was ok and not the best but man amazing pizza! The facility was nice and well maintained read more

Went to have a beer at Tapas and decided to grab some lunch here. We had the grilled cheese sandwich, Parmesan fries, and the Americano pizza. The grilled cheese was a great size and the fries it came with were plenty! The parmesan fries came in a big bowl and it was tough to even get through half of them! The sandwich and parm fries came out pretty quickly, but the pizza took over an hour. About 45 minutes in the waitress said our ticket was lost and the pizza wasn't even made and asked if we wanted a refund. We were still talking so we said we would wait. As the time went on another waitress came by and apologized that we still hadn't got the pizza and went to put a rush on it. We asked to just put it to go and took it home to enjoy. Overall the experience was good and we enjoyed our time. I think if we find ourselves back at Topas we would order again. read more

I like their pizza. Solid ingredients with crunchy crust and chewy bottom. Their lunch special which includes pizza and salad is enormous--enough for a second meal. Lots of outdoor seating which will be even more enjoyable when it's warm again. read more

There's a magical hour in the day, right before the evening, say 4-5, that one drink goes a long way. Now you don't get drunk off this one drink, but it does something magical. Every experience is elevated and you are childlike again. I am pretty sure this happens because I have not eaten in a while and am having a drink on an empty stomach, but whatever, it's a magical moment. Anyways, now that you know my pizza review will be biased based on this elevated feeling of oneness with beer, I can say the pizza was damn good. My dad always told me, you determine a good pizza based off a plain cheese pizza. Toppings can mask the quality of the basics, so we went with the 18 inch NY cheese pizza. I was eating it like I just ran a marathon, ravenous and with no regret, only today was my off day. Afterwards I headed down the street with my kids to top it off with a Mr. Softies cone. Man, life can be so damn stressful and complicated, but pizza, beer, and ice cream can straight up be religious if you let it be. Purse bliss when my kids are in a meditative trance from pizza and ice cream, and my wife can breathe for a moment because everyone has reached an incremental step toward an Americana nirvana of simple carbohydrates and white sugar, filling our consciousness with a dream thought dead, but still living through a shared experience of unadulterated, unhealthy happiness. I used to try to grasp for every new experience, every new thing to buy. FOMO is real. Well F*^% that. Goodness in life is basic. Learn that before you die. Enjoy it. Ya, the pizza was good. read more

The short story is that the pizza is slightly undertopped with cheese and sauce, and the bottom is underbaked. The proteins were of excellent quality, so it was tasty. This place could be knocking on the door of greatness with some minor tweaks, but they're not quite there yet. That said, they outclass the other pizzerias in Camarillo. read more

I was enjoying my lunch time with a beer at Topa Topa and I got a little hungry. The whole place is one large room shared by Topa Topa, Freda's and Rori's Artisanal Creamery. I've had ice cream for lunch but diabetes now threatens my soul. I decided I should have a proper lunch and give Freda's an old college try. I know its a pizza joint but I was feeling like a sandwich type of lunch. I decided to get tthe cubano sandwich and mixed salad. The cubano sandwich was tasty and really flavorful. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad was actually my favorite. Super light and simple. I was impressed with the place and more impressed by how fast they prepared my meal. Since they ARE a pizza restaurant, that would probably be my next meal! There is plenty of seating inside and in the outside patio but parking can be a drag during the busy days. Nevertheless, I definitely wouldn't hestitate to order again next time I am having a beer at Topa. Cheers! read more

Freda's Pizza - Cubano sandwich with a mixed green salad - Pizza Near Me - Camarillo, California

My wife and I love going here and they have interesting choices with some of their pizzas, definitely recommend the potato and bacon. The atmosphere is fun, ice cream and brewery under the same roof. Can get a little loud at times but that is expected We have been getting pizza here at least once a month for a few years now and have come to know one of the employees, Bree, fairly well. When the occasional issue with something we order pops up, she is always helpful with correcting it. She has even come to know our usual order and if she is working, will always make sure it is correct. Really feels like a VIP treatment when we come in and Bree is there. Honestly, one of the reasons we keep coming back. read more

Absolute horrible pizza. very little cheese with a sparse of sausage. Salad was good but way overpriced! We wanted to like this place but will go to better places for our pizza fix. read more

My 1st experience was very good. But since then it has been hit or miss. Ordered from here last week and the thick pizza was soggy and gross. Very disappointed read more

They are literally phoning it in. The server set my pizza down on the dirty table, and couldn't be bothered to wipe it down. The silverware was dirty, too. I had to ask for some because instead of putting arugula leaves on my pizza line I asked, they put on a dressed, soggy pile of arugula, adding insult to an already sub-par margarita pizza. So I asked for silverware. And it was dirty. The pizza cook kept checking his phone, pulling it out of his dirty pockets and shoving it back three times, just before he handled my pizza without washing his hands. And they somehow managed to be "out" of crushed chiles, which is a challenge when you're down the street from a market. Nobody here seems to care about quality or details. They are phoning it in (without washing their hands afterwards). Don't bother with this place. read more

I've been to Freda's twice and had amazing food both times! The pizza is phenomenal, definitely some of the best in Ventura county, and the Philly cheesesteak was also fantastic and came with a side salad that could have been a meal by itself. The location is also really cool, as it shares the space with Topa Topa brewery. They also have a large outdoor dining area. I would absolutely recommend Freda's to anyone looking for authentic NY style pizza, sandwiches, or salads in the old town Camarillo area. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

Freda's Pizza - Philly cheesesteak with Caesar side salad included. Both were phenomenal! - Pizza Near Me - Camarillo, California

As soon as I arrived, I could smell the fresh garlic and dough baking, and I knew it would be good. We ordered two lunch specials and split the truffle fries. Let me say if you are looking for a lunch spot this is such a good choice for the quality of food! Freda's would make an excellent dinner spot too and offers Topa Topa beer next door. The lunch special came with a choice of a side. I choose the garden salad with balsamic. I didn't expect such a generous portion. The greens were organic, so another plus. It was beautifully constructed and so good. Would definitely consider going back just for the salad alone. The pizza was a nice size (especially for a lunch pizza). NYC style brick oven with a nice crust. The cheese to sauce ratio was pretty spot on. The sauce was perfect. The cheese was a little greasy for me but I don't usually eat much cheese. Very good fresh tasting pizza. I split the pizza with my two year old and still had one slice leftover!! The truffle fries are a decadent must! So crispy on the outside, not soggy, and perfectly seasoned. They are rich, so an awesome item to share. Literally mouth watering. Freda's is next to Rori's Artisanal Creamery and Topa Topa Brewery. Such a nice spot for food, drink and dessert in Camarillo! read more

I finally found time to stop by for their weekday lunch specials and it was pretty good. We have been here for dinner before and their pizzas were tasty and fresh. Their lunch specials were just as good and the best part was that it was a good portion. I got their slice of pepperoni and it was fresh and tasty. My wife got the El Diablo and salad lunch special. You can tell their ingredients are quality and the salad looked very fresh and pretty large for a side of salad. I also ordered their house chips and cheese dip, and it didn't disappoint. I'm a big fan of cheese sauce and it complemented the potato chips well. This place can get pretty packed in the evenings, so definitely stop by for their lunch specials to avoid the crowd. The venue is in a great location in Old Town Camarillo and offered spacious indoor and outdoor seating. It can get pretty loud in the restaurant, but you are spaced out enough so your not so close to other tables. read more

This place is really good and I'm happy to have a nice local place to take visitors. We've had it 3 times to go over the last few weeks. Pizzas are consistent and good. The margarita is our favorite. The best thing here is the chips. Sounds weird right? House made, always crispy and when you get with the pastrami, its a knockout. We've only done take out and each time our food is ready on time and the order is correct. Looking forward to bringing people here in the future. read more

This is a nice spot for the family where there's something for everyone- pizza, beer, ice cream all in one building... what more could you want? The pizza and Buffalo wings here are very good and high quality, but on the slightly pricier side. They have brick oven and NY style with many interesting topping choices. Service is a little slow, but it's because it's always so packed! Expect to wait in line if you come. Overall, a great time with good food! read more

This pizza was the closest thing I've had to delicious Jersey pizza in California. Fresh and reasonable price. Nice spot too

Tried to call in an order at 3 so we could eat at 4. Had to call 4 times before they picked up then got put on hold for 10 mins. Called back and ordered. Said it would be 40 mins. Arrived at 4 pm for pickup. They didn't have our order ready. 4:47 finally had pizzas in hand. Almost 2 hours after ordering not even during prime time. Super disappointing. Fries cold by the time the last pizza was ready. We live the quality of the pizza but the timing ... super disappointing. I get that it can be busy.... But we waited almost 2 hours for pizza. read more

My favorite pizza in Cam. Everything tastes super fresh and is cooked perfectly. The folks working the register are always helpful and patient. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating too. If Dave Portnoy were to have done a review of Freda's when he was out here (one bite, everyone knows the rules) I'd bet he'd have scored it at least an 8.6 if not higher. read more

**August 2021 Visit** Came here recently based on my friend's recommendation for my first night in Camarillo and it did not disappoint. Our part of four ordered two 12 inch pizzas, wedge salad, and truffle fries. Patrons order at the bar, given a number, and order will be delivered to the table. There are several indoor and outdoor options. Food Wedge Salad ($10.95): I rarely order salad at a pizza joint; however, I was in dire need of incorporating more greens into my diet, so I went with this one. Surprisingly this was really good. The Gorgonzola Cream Dressing had a nice bite to it and contrasted well with the crisp lettuce and juicy heirloom tomatoes. I don't regularly consume speck, but in essence it was like a thin crispy bacon which worked well. (5/5) Seasonal Mushroom and White Truffle Oil Pizza (15.95) They're very generous with the truffle oil. It's a thin pizza and felt like a more gourmet and elevated pie (4/5) Truffle Fries ($7.95): Nice steak fries style and very fragrant. Vampires would probably be scared away. They were also crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. (4/5) Overall a solid choice in the Camarillo area. read more

Been to fredas many times. Most of the time the food and service are fine. This last time we went, terrible. It was a Saturday afternoon, not that busy at all. Part of our order (sandwich) came 45 minutes after I ordered--barely warm. An hour later my kids cheese pizza arrived at our table--cold! I said something but the response I got was oh really? Sorry. Guy walked away. I was floored. If that were my first time, I'd never go back. Do better. read more

Decent pizza joint here. When they get it right the pizza is a very good NY style pizza. But they are very inconsistent. For example, you might buy two pizzas here and one will be great -- crispy thin crust, tangy sauce, salty melty browned cheese that combines with the tomato sauce to hit those magic NY pizza notes. And then the next one will be boring, undercooked, underseasoned and lackluster. Prices are decent, service is fine but does take them some time to turn around an order even for pick-up, and location is nice and clean. It's a welcome note that it appears to mostly be staffed and run by local kids which is nice to see... but then I think that also might lend itself to the inconsistency of their product. That being said, from the Camarillo joints I have tried so far, when Freda's gets it right they are at the top of the list. I haven't had it enough to zero in on why one of their pies might be better than another but we'll see... read more

The bright lights issue has been resolved by installing different lights and a dimmer. I stopped by and noticed the difference right away. Good job on the new soft lights. I also ordered another awesome pizza. Yum!!! Donavon and Bree were both great with the pizza and delivered quickly. Dodgers are world champions!!!!! Go celebrate! read more

I ordered delivery of the beet salad and 12" cheese pizza. It was an overpriced disaster! The salad had no beets and was an inedible concoction of garbage. The cheese pizza had tasteless crust with American cheese. Stay away! read more

45 minute to get my pizza to eat in the three parties in front of me have not been served. When it did arrive it came in a too big to go box that took up the entire 4 top table when opened. When opened we found a misshaped thing that was seriously burned in the brick oven. The toppings covered about 60% of the blob. Which was about right. Come on guys 1 lousy piece of.bacon?

Disappointing quality, and overpriced for the quality. Not sure how you mess up a pizza in a nice oven so bad. Shows employees don't care. I think it used to be better, now I'm just sad. This was my last hope for actual authentic Italian stone fire pizza in Camarillo. It cost $70 for 2 pizzas. They were not good at all. Oily saggy slice with super chewy crust. The margarita is just a cheese pizza, no tomato slices, and shredded mozzarella instead of fresh. read more

Freda's Pizza - Deli Nachos and Wings - Pizza Near Me - Camarillo, California

Camarillo has been devoid of good pizza Pizzeria Bianca Rosso closed. Fred's appears to be filling that void. I wanted to start with a simple 12" brick oven margherita pizza. The crust was nice and speckled and chewy without being dense. The cheese was just enough and tasty enough not to overpower the sauce and dough. My only criticism is the sauce was a little bland. Overall I enjoyed the pizza and will be back again Parking is a big issue as there is an outdoor seating area taking up a dozen spaces or more The website is also a bit misleading as it appears takeout and delivery are the only options In fact, there are plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your pizza inside (if you can find a place to park. A welcome addition to the Camarillo dining scene read more
