I really wanted to like Fredo's Pizza, but my experience downtown just wasn't it. The music inside was extremely loud--to the point where it was uncomfortable and made it hard to enjoy the meal or even have a normal conversation. On top of that, the pizza felt overpriced for what you get. For the cost, I expected something memorable or higher quality, but it just didn't deliver for me. Overall, between the noise level and the value, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. 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

I came here for the first time as a party of 5 for my friends birthday. upon arrival i did love the interior, it was nice and relaxing. we were sat at a table in the very back of the restaurant, which was nice because it was private, but it was far from the ambiance of the restaurant and felt more separate from the rest of the building. we ordered a few drinks, an appetizer (charcuterie board) , 2 caesar salads and 3 pizzas. the first round of drinks came out promptly, however the second took a few reminders, as our waitress kept coming and asking "if everything was fine" and we would have to tell her we never got the drink. after about 20 minutes after the first round of drinks, 1 salad comes out, then 10 minutes later 2 pizzas. she came back and let us know the other pizza and salad would be out soon and if anything was missing, i asked her about the charcuterie board, and she said it was taking long because "they were getting ingredients delivered." i decided just to cancel it because it had already been 30 minutes after we ordered and food was already coming out. another 30 minutes goes by and the second caesar salad comes out. she asks if everything is good, and we remind her of the last pizza. she said she would check on it. 20 minutes later she comes to clear our plates and we still haven't received the last pizza and we've now been here almost 2 hours. she came and asked if we wanted more drinks and we said we were just ready for the check at this point and to cancel the last pizza, we had waited far too long. she looked annoyed with us and went to get the check. i noticed a 20% "large party" gratuity added to our bill, which i thought was crazy as we were only a party of 5, and there was nothing on the menu that stated a gratuity for large parties. it wasn't til after i left the restaurant that the top of the receipt said we had a guest count of 9, so that led me to believe that she added the gratuity for her own benefit. overall, the food wasn't bad, but none of the pizzas were warm upon arrival, and none of the food came out together and was so separated that we didn't really even get to eat together. but since the customer service was extremely poor, and for the amount of money we spent, i can say we will not be back. read more

Fredo’s - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First and foremost. Completely disappointed. If there was a negative rating option, I'd use it. We came in for my wife's birthday and it was a total disaster. I set up a reservation at a certain time, they changed it to 30 minutes later and didn't notify us. Drinks tasted watered down (expresso martini) Got sat in the back where you can literally see the foundation of the building and cobwebs with unfinished ceiling. It was uncomfortably hot. We came in with a bottle of red wine and it got corked by our server. Food was so unsatisfying and service was atrocious. Will never come back. Save your money for a better spot. They do not have what it takes to be a successful business. read more

Fredo's food, service, and ambiance is 10/10. The pistachio pesto pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever had and their caesar salad is crispy and delicious. I'd also recommend their old fashioned and bruschetta. Our only complaint was that we came to eat here at 6:30pm on a Friday and by 7pm the DJ upstairs was playing his set so loudly we couldn't hear or communicate with anyone at our table. The DJ would've been a welcomed surprise had it been a bit later and a more cocktail-focused vibe, but the restaurant was full of families trying to enjoy a nice meal at that time. Aside from this, we loved it and will be back! read more

Nice new spot downtown. Drinks were fantastic! They have a fun menu of various drinks! The staff is super friendly and so fun to watch as the mix up all the drinks! I'd say this is a fun spot for a date night or nice night out with friends. I have yet to try the food out, but look forward to it! I will defiantly be trying pizza out next! read more

I really didn't want to give this place 3 stars as truly the food coming out in a timely matter didn't happen and should be a 1 star. Our server was so nice and extremely helpful on the drinks and her suggestions on what was really good and her favorites. They do not have a food menu at this time probably cause they are still trying to figure out what they are going to do. They had 4 pizza's to choose from and only one salad which was a cesar salad. We had a party of 4 people. We had a few speciality drinks which were really good. I shared a pizza with my wife which was the pistachio pesto pizza. I also shared the cesar salad with my son n law. They ordered the pepperoni pizza. So the evening started off great we didn't have to wait for a table and it was first Friday downtown as well. Our server came by greeted us right away and answered any questions we had.We finally decided on drinks and placed our drink order. It took about 20 plus minutes to get our drinks and in the mean time our server kind of disappeared. After waiting for a while she finally showed back up and took out order. Unfortunately it took another 30 minutes to get our pizza as they were super short on staff and only had one person in the kitchen area. Really not sure why the manager didn't catch the clue and help the cook. Our pizza finally arrived and it was really good. Love the crust and had a great flavor. We will give them time to settle in and give them another try. So in the end they did give us a 50% discount on our food order without us saying anything. The original bill was $170 for 4 people keep in mind what we ordered. To me this is extremely high priced!!!! read more

Really great little...restaurant (?) downtown! I thought this place was all about pizza, but it seemed like more of a bar. They had 6 pizzas to choose from and just a few apps. The rest of the menu was mixed drinks, so it kind of felt like more of The Botanist (if you've been there) vibes. Staff were super nice and helpful! For those who don't drink alcohol (like myself), they did mention that they offer mocktails! Pizza was delicious! If you've ever had Olivewood Pizza in LA or Long Beach, this is a close second (which we haven't found anything close anywhere - hint: it's great pizza)! A little pricey for pizza, but it was delicious so ehh? My hubby had one of their less expensive drinks, but still got a little fancy show (they lit it on fire!!!) and he said it was really good :) We'd be back, but maybe just to grab a pizza to go! read more

Was wanting to catch up with a friend, and we decided to try out Fredo's! I absolutely love the vibes and decor inside, I honestly don't remember what type of music (if any) was playing since we were talking most of the time. I will note at first, I also wished they had a menu of their pizza offerings... but after a second thought I figured that they are still going through the motions of what will be permanent or not. I also liked how personable it is to have the bartender explain the menu choices in detail. It is a nice touch when asked what they offered and to not just be handed a piece of paper. The bartender was super friendly and offered suggestions as my friend and I ate and drank. I thought the pizza was super reasonable, and enough to share with 2 people. We ordered the pesto with crushed pistachios, honey and ricotta....oh my it was heavenly. Flavors worked really well and there wasn't a single thing I'd want different! They also use a wheat crust which was really good, couldn't even tell. The drink menu was nice and although they had high prices, they do use quality spirits. It honestly feels like you're out of town without the hassle of traveling! A definite 10/10 all across the board, it would make for a nice date spot since it's so intimate! Can't wait to return to try more options read more

The good: crust on pizzas were nicely doughy but thin, and the char of the crust was nice. Toppings and cheese tasted fresh. The atmosphere and decor were really nice if you were looking for a hip/cute place for a date night. The waiter was extremely nice and welcoming. I would say the waiter was the best part of the restaurant. The not so good: The first slice was super tasty, but as the pizza cooled down a bit, the pizza started to become super salty. At first, I thought it was the toppings/proscuitto, but I think it was the dough itself, so there was no escaping the saltiness(every bite was salty). The restaurant was soooooo muggy and hot. I got sweaty waiting for the pizza. I don't want to make up my mind with just once a visit, so I may pay a visit again. Hopefully, they will turn on the AC then. read more

Open late on weekends, great service from the moment we walked in until the time we left. Food was very good (Pepperoni and Italian Stallion Pizza are highly recommended). Very chill atmosphere and vibe read more

Great place, great pizza, great staff. Fortunately or unfortunately it's in downtown Bakersfield...

The actual restaurant was great. Had a good vibe. Great decor & ambiance. The ceviche was solid. The pizza was freshly made, but it wasn't the best pizza I ever had. Just solid. I was really excited to eat there, but it was sincerely a disappointment behind the hype. It was solid nothing crazy. I think there are better pizza options, but the pizza wasn't bad just pizza in my opinion. read more

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

I hate leaving 1 star reviews but I have to. First off, we were seated at the bar (totally cool, great bar) BUT we didn't get greeted by the bartender for 15 minutes. She was talking to a pair of regulars who left her a $100 tip & she kept fake arguing with them like "no it's okay, put the hundred away" & then she greeted 2 others who sat down after us, got their drinks & made them. Then she finally came over to us & took our drink order. I also put in the pizza order because we had a comedy show to get to. The drinks took 5 minutes, totally normal so that was fine. My drink was delicious. My friends drink the aviation was not good. Not as described, mainly "ass". The pizza took 1 hour & 20 minutes. We ended up having to eat it walking to the show out of a box. This greasy mess was not worth the $ nor time spent. I would only go back for the "Pardon my French" but I could make it myself too if needed. read more

My wife and I enjoyed a date night out and decided to try Fredo's Pizza downtown off 19th near Eye Streets (at our son's recommendation). It was a refreshing change from the usual Bakersfield restaurant choices. Reminded us of some of the spots we dined at in Italy in 2019, even had rocket (arugula) on one of the pizzas we ordered. Great pizza, drinks, atmosphere, server....a great night out. Hats off to the owner, server, and bartender. #fredospizza read more

This is cool spot to have a drink (or two!) and some pizza. The service was super friendly and kind even when they seemed to be short staffed. The restaurant is nice and has space to expand in the future. The cocktails were creative and tasty and the pizza while not the best pizza I've had, was good. Especially for the area because I find it really hard to find decent pizza in town. The crust was a bit dense and really chewy and it seems that the dough might vary a bit depending on who makes your pie, still, I enjoyed this place for a dinner date and really liked the well dressed caesar salad so I'm hoping they expand their menu soon since I plan on stopping by again. read more

If you're looking for a spot that brings a bit of that modern LA experience to Bakersfield, and appreciate it, this is the spot for you. It seems like everyone is competing for the best cocktails in Bakersfield right now but I'm gonna have to give the gold medal for that to Fredo's for a while. This pizzas are also to die for, I don't know that I can get a smoked salmon & peach, pesto pistachio, or prosciutto pizza anywhere else.... and the dough? so good! Must-try drinks: the 88 MPH, Maxwell, and the Councilman. Honorable mentions: the Gin & Tonic & the rest of the classics. Wish we had more cool spots like Fredo's! Definitely one of a kind out here. read more

Fredo's Pizza, wow what a gem! I knew I had to stop by this place as I am a sucker for a sexy cocktail and when combined with a fresh pizza, omg.. chefs kiss! I can start off by saying that the ambiance is industrial retro vibes, minimal with the pop of the beautiful bar. I think this place is exactly what Bakersfield needed, a spunky bar with pizza, what a better duo?! Before arriving I think there is some important aspects you must know: 1. Minimal menu 2. Delicious but expensive cocktails 3. Nice and friendly service If you know these top three then you won't be disappointed. We had 4 drinks, all were amazing, talk about attention to detail! My favorite was the "Pardon my French" You must try their dessert, the Gallete, not too sweet just delicious olive oil goodness. read more

Had a great experience trying this place for the first time. The service was exceptional, the food was served fairly quickly but tasted fresh and DELICIOUS. Highly recommend for any occasion. It does tend to get a little loud with the music but there is seating areas if you're looking for a more intimate setting read more

Our experience at Fredo's was amazing! It's more than a pizza place forsure. It has a very classy and upscale ambiance, yet the staff were very nice and welcoming. I felt like I was in the LA art's district, but with Bakersfield prices and friendliness. 10/10 would recommend for a date, birthday dinner, etc.! read more

Fredo’s - Old fashioned, white wine, Aperol spritz - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Fredo's is a cute pizza place in downtown bakersfield, nice bright modern interior, with the pizza oven front and center which is a cool feature. We made a reservation but ended up taking seats at the bar because the atmosphere was better than the little table by the front door we would have had. Bar tenders seemed a little overwhelmed but overall they were fine, we just had to let them know our needs like more water, ready to order, ready for the check etc. drinks were really good and really strong be careful! I had the forbidden fruit (shout out to Ebra gin which is owned by a woman from bakersfield!) and my husband had the 88 miles per hour. Both were really delicious and like I said really strong, we were feeling it quick on an empty stomach. Took a few mins to get our pizzas so we were trying not to down our drinks. We ordered the Italian stallion and the pizza fra diavolo. Both had some really great flavor highlights. Italian stallions sweet onions and garlic and mushrooms were really tasty all together. The diavola had a big topping of mozzarella which was fresh and brought down the spice (was surprised by the spicy flavors but it worked). The pizza crusts were a little thin in the center and a little over done on the crusts. I think once they get that figured out and the service goes up one notch this could be a 4-5 Star downtown restaurant! read more

Really cool place and a cool vibe and good service. Wish we liked the pizza more than we did.. Best thing about the pizza was the garlic confit on one of the pizzas we ordered.. Hope they can pull it off, but for us it was just a little pricy for what we got... read more

Such a chill atmosphere! The music, the drinks, the food, all 10 out of 10!! Their handcrafted cocktails are delicious but the "Pardon my French" cocktail was very memorable. The appetizer and pizza were super tasty as well. The overall price was a little on the spendy side but worth every penny. read more

Best pizza and cocktails in town. No questions asked. Everything oven backed and made in house.

Read the reviews, thought we would try it. Was a bit underwhelmed, stark interior, lovely live plants, sign saying "Don't touch the artwork", one black on black abstract painting in the place! I wouldn't so much call this a restaurant as it has a limited menu but a well lit bar that happens to serve some food. The pizzas are good, we ordered the Margherita and the Italian Stallion. My Negroni was spot on! Didn't care for the scan menu, too much a reminder of Post COVID days. Waitperson though amiable seemed too busy with side work to really wait on us. read more

Love fredos. Pizza is amazing, the stallion is the best. Also, the service is great every time.

I had the Italian Stallion tonight. I made sure that it was wood fired and I wanted it cut into squares (tavern style). although I was unprepared for the white sauce, it was delicious in every way. the crust was crispy and flavorful, the sauce was garlicky, and the toppings were perfect. I loved it. 5 stars... read more

10/10 best pizza in bakersfield. I go here atleast once a month and it's always my go to pizza spot. Also the staff are very friendly.

The Pistachio pizza was amazing. One if the best pizzas I've ever had. The GOAT was also one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Recommended. read more

If you don't mind paying 20 dollars for a pizza you should try this margarita pizza it was pretty good. Little Cesar's would give you double the amount but that's not the point, you should try it. Location was pretty quiet and I feel like it needed more music. I'm not sure what this drink was but I remember it had mezcal I would NEVER get it again since it tasted pretty bad but I had to drink it because I felt bad returning it. The bartender was pretty friendly though overall give this place 8/10. Recommendations: add a live performer like a dj In that empty spot on top of the restaurant. read more
