I ordered a sub and wings from here along with the bbq chicken pizza. The food quality was very sub par. The pizza was to go and couldn't even get thru after eating 1 slice. I don't know what it was but that really gassy stomach grumbling feeling all day thru the next was very uncomfortable. Now the health dept closes em down. I was in here just 4 days ago. Public Health confirms that Rusty's Pizza on Olive Drive was closed due to rodent infestation and other violations. Health officials observed a live rat behind carbon dioxide tanks in the soda storage room. They also saw debris buildup under cooking equipment and refrigeration units, a dirty floor drain near the cash register where the soda machine was draining to, and according to a pest control invoice a rodent was found in the kitchen and dining area. Rodent droppings were also found throughout the facility. The restaurant will remain closed until further notice. read more

This review is solely on the service received. The kids asked for Rustys Pizza, and since we are new to the neighborhood we thought we would dine in. HUGE MISTAKE! Rudest customer service ever. Trey took our order and couldn't have been more in a rush and less happy to take our order. When asked for the manager I spoke to the supervisor Nicholas and he was apologetic and wanted to see what could be dine to make our experience better. My question is why spend my hard earned money to be treated like a second class citizen? read more

Not very good at all tasted like cardboard was hard to chew two pizzas and a breadstick $60.

When it comes to Pizza this is one of my favorite places all the toppings I like nice thick crust just yummy all-around

Food came an hour late, tasted super cold and like cardboar. Don't get food from here, dominoes is better than this!!!! SUPER INFURIATED!!!!! read more

Just tried to order via delivery. Two large pizzas with two topping, ranch, and a six pack of Sprite and it was over $50.00. We cancelled the order due to price and ordered the same from Me-n-Ed's and it was $35.00 including tip. Sorry Rusty - your pizza is not that good for that price. read more

Would not recommend this location. Waited 20 minutes in line to pick up, nobody even acknowledged the line and nobody came to the counter to help. Horrible service. read more

I've ordered from this establishment several times, I liked it because it's the only place that delivers to the Gossomer Grove Community and it's very convenient. However, I placed an order online for dinner. My children and I have had to quarantine due to covid. The order I placed with my correct address as I usually do. Was supposedly incorrect on their end according to the employee's as well as the supervisor on duty, Sara. My order had to be canceled, money refunded 3-5 business days, due to a "glitch in their system". What was appalling to me was the supervisor's "Sara's";attitude. She actually laughed, instead of offering a sincere apology or a complimentary side for the inconvenience overall. Being in the management field, I don't understand the level of ignorance. Absolutely Horrible customer service! Would not recommend this place! read more

Trash location don't go here. You will regret it. Bad customer service. Just go to Cataldo's or Tony's. They are better anyways. And to top it all off I found hair in my pizza. It's called hair nets. Use them. read more

I loved Rusty's when I was younger, but kind of fell out of that phase when other pizzerias starting popping up around Rosedale. I hadn't eaten at Rusty's in many years, so I figured I would try them out a week ago. Oh-My-Goodness, it was like heaven in my mouth. I ordered the large pepperoni and sausage on their thin crust. This was easily the greatest pizza I have had in town. The pricing was very reasonable and the delivery time was incredible. The driver's all seem very friendly as well. I've never visited their physical location, due to my introvert tendencies, but when I do I will update my review on that as well. ;) read more

Starving and pregnant, I decided to order pizza due to exhaustion, among laziness and other things. Normally, we take and bake from Papa Murphy's, and let me tell you, we should have just driven down the street and grabbed one instead of ordering Rusty's. Rusty's pizza used to be good, 15 years ago. Today, not so much. Our pizza arrived in the specified time frame, but the pizza was straight up BURNED, and the order of wedges consisted of 4 of the tiniest, over-fried pieces of potato that you'd ever seen. Luckily our wings were edible, because as I said, pregnant and starving. We called Rusty's back and they resent the "entire order," only for it to arrive, missing the sub par wings. The sauce is sweet, and frankly, gross. Overall, We ended up throwing $40 of pizza goods in the trash. It was so disgusting and awful that my husband didn't even want to take the leftovers for lunch the next day. A family of two could have lived off of a large pizza for a few days.... in this case, it was $40 of "a few bites" of pizza, and my pregnant belly had to find something else to eat in the fridge, anyways. Such a disappointment. Stay away. read more

No me gusto mucho que digamos esta pizza, casi no tenia queso y todos los ingredientes se caían al tomar los pedazos de pizza, normalmente eso no pasa o si?? :| y de sabor...mmm :$ honestamente no la recomiendo, esta mucho mejor pizza hut , domino's o papa john's, la atención fue muy buena. read more

I am not from Bakersfield but ate at Rustys Pizza Parlor as part of an event that I was attending. Rustys pizza parlor has a great banquet room that easily fits around 50 people. This is a great way to host an event when you need a large room. The pizza was ok, I mean when is pizza ever not good. I do recommend that you try the potato wedges as an appetizer though. Also, parking is not a problem as it is in a large shopping center. read more

Tonight I ordered a medium pizza from a wonderful person on the other end named Jade. I got home realized I wanted wedges to my order so I called and added and no problem. Upon delivery the ranches and peppers I ordered on the side had accidentally busted during transport. I should have got her name but she went all the way back and brought me fresh ones plus a couple more. And that right there is service! You can call it what you want but when people go above and beyond to make your experience more worth while I just hope everyone can appreciate it like I did. So thank you!! read more

Ordered the large centennial pizza which is there meat lovers. Also ordered chicken wing. The wings were ok and the pizza was not good at all. There wasnt enough meat at all they just put big slices of meat on the pizza to make it look like is has a lot but once you grab a slide you MIGHT have one piece of meat on it. Was kinda disappointed. Paid 40 dollars for wings and a pizza. Should have ordered from pizza hut. read more

Rusty's Pizza Parlor - Looks like a lot of meat till you get a slice and its only 1 piece of meat on each slice maybe 2. - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Beware the high rating. Positives: The staff were excellent, especially the woman on the register. She was very nice and helpful. The restaurant is clean and has ample seating, especially for parties. Negative: The pizza is terrible. I would put it on a similar level to Chuck E. Cheese. If you are planning a birthday party for kids, this place would work well. If you want good pizza, try another restaurant. The crust looked to be from a frozen mold with perforated holes on the bottom. The sauce is too sweet, and the cheese is low quality. There was nothing wrong with the pepperoni. We chose this restaurant based on the yelp reviews, as we were from out of town. It was a very disappointing meal. read more

Ordered a large BBQ pizza and a large potato wedge box. Wedges came with less than the number for that size. Then tried them and they were cold and stale. Pizza was cold and half the toppings were missing on half the pizza. Called and they refunded the wedges and the tip. But still stuck with a $30 cold pizza and having to make dinner after just to get the stale food taste out of my mouth. 9/10 would not recommend this location. read more

There's plenty of parking out front since the Vons supermarket is closed Rustys Pizza has very good pizza very expensive at the same time they have great deals on lunch specials so make sure you know by 4 PM after that it's regular price which now it cost you 10 bucks I recommend trying Rustys Pizza at least once you will enjoy their pizza there wedges are the best with their homemade ranch read more

Rusty's Pizza Parlor - Menu - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

So I don't like giving you em the slightest negative review, so I'll start with the good. Their pizza is really good. They cook the crust PERFECTLY! They can be pricey, but your pizza is going to be better than a standard pizza chain. Also, they have one of those soda machines with all the flavors. However, this specific location has a couple issues that stood out to me. First of all, their dine in salad is self serve. In a pandemic. It didn't look dirty, but they also had it right next to where people are lined up to order, increasing the time people are close to the salad bar. Next, their dining area was sloppy. All the benches were lopsided and high chairs were carelessly placed. The tables weren't wiped down. They had empty boxes stacked in the dining area that were meant for recycling. They had stuff on their counter. At first I thought it was a delivery but it sat the entire time I was there. When I sat down I noticed that there were trays left from someone else in the booth next to mine. While I waited my food, several workers went to take breaks but the trays were left. I also heard yelling in the back. I don't know if they were having an argument or were excited but the tone sounded negative. I bit of time went by and the other booth next to me left. So now, there are two unbussed tables. I then heard an employee complain about a delivery not give her a tip?!?! How rude! I did have a really sweet lady bring me my pizza, which was good. That lady seemed to be one of the only ones on top of things. Anyways, I was there for quite a bit to eat my food and when I left I was the third unbussed table with no sign of them coming to take care of it. Due to this I had to lower their rating. I hope the manager can see this and have a talk with their team about running the dining area. read more

We have been ordering pizza from them for many years (20+). It is my favorite all time pizza. Yes it's pricy but it's so so good. We always order thin crust pepperoni. It's greasy and cheesy and I love their red sauce. We also always order the wedges and hot wings. My youngest son loves the wings, just be careful the hottest sauce is pretty hot and will burn but it's good. Their chicken is always very well made and crispy and it comes with more wedges. We get coupons in the mail all the time for a $13.00 large pepperoni and like $2 off a large and $2 off a medium. We expect to spend $70 with tip, delivery fee, and taxes. But that is usually for the large pepperoni, large wedges, small buffalo wings, and 3 piece chicken and wedges. It's more than enough food for 5 people with plenty of leftovers. And we don't have to leave the house. Oh and the person who takes our order is always very friendly and quick. Every delivery driver is very nice and we usually have our food within 35 minutes or less even when they say they are busy and it will be longer. read more

Ordered: 4:25pm Pizza due time: 4:41pm (they said 15min) Didn't receive pizza till: 5:00pm They knew they messed up and didn't do anything to fix the issue. Pizza is always amazing but the low star is for obvious long wait time. read more

Better than Pizza Hut, Better than Dominos, Better than Papa Johns. I can't say its the best pizza I have ever eaten but its up there with the best of em. Pizza: Crust has a decent crunch at the bottom but the center dough is moist and cooked perfectly. Sauce is more of a paste so you get the tomato and not too much in the way of a marinara after taste. Pepperoni has a nice crunch and just enough cheese. Garlic Bread: I personally love the Garlic Bread, my wife on the other hand doesn't care for the big pieces of real garlic. Its closer to a Papa Johns bread stick but with softer bread and the Garlic just sets them off. I ate the whole thing. Potato Wedges: I ordered the regular (there smallest size) thinking it would be plenty with the rest I ordered. A Regular consists of 5 or 6 wedges. I was not happy with the amount for the price but the taste made up for it. Crunchy on the outside and soft where it counts. Staff: I called and spoke to Connie who was very pleasant to speak with. She happily took my order with a positive attitude which made my experience even that much better. Overall: If you want great pizza at a good price I would highly recommend giving Rusty's a try. Stop ordering from the big guys with bland pizza and try the small guy that puts love in every bite. read more

The pizza was very good but more than that the delivery driver - Silvia - was as nice as could be. I wish all people in customer service were like her. read more

My wife works on Olive so we have been here often. Sometimes we get it to go, but the Rusty's product needs to be very fresh, sometimes the delivery takes away from the quality. Anyhow the people at the telephone exchange have been pleasant enough, as have the people working in the store. In a sea of cheap, inferior pizzas not even as good as a frozen product, Rusty's stands out in quality, but you will pay the price. I think it is worth it, we only order about once a month. read more

We always order delivery from this location and they have never messed an order up. The delivery drivers are always friendly. The 3 stars is for the food. Their quality has definitely gone down. The larger wedges are never cooked through and the thin crust is always over cooked. The wings are very dry. Despite that, Rusty's will always holds a special place in this girls heart! read more

I like this place a lot the sandwich + salad and coke lunch special is great, they have a coke freestyle machine and free wifi. 4 stars because the mens room only had one ply tp. read more

I have always ordered from here. They are pretty quick. Always have the same guy or girl deliver. Super friendly and nice. I've probably only had one or two times where the pizza wasn't great in all the years I've ordered from them. The one time they really messed up my order, they went out of their way to fix it and actually brought back the missing items. I'm very disappointed that they have suddenly stopped delivering in my area. So I guess I have to find a new pizza place :( read more

I called at 10:40 to order 2 large pizzas for pickup. Order taker said it would be ready in 20-30 minutes. I arrived at 11:05 and they locked the door and closed as I was walking up to the door. They refused to give me the pizza or a refund and they were super rude about it. Why would they take a pizza order and give a pickup time for when they're closed? I could see our pizzas on the counter for pickup through the window but they wouldn't even open the door to hand them to me. Called the order line back and they were closed too. read more

At this location I only order food to go. The food is good. The restaurant itself is a bit of a dive. It feels old and less than clean. It also has a slightly old grease smell when you come in. The best Rusty's for a sit down mean is the one on Ming. read more

Good lunch place. Personal size pizza, potato wedges, and soda around $6. For $7, it's a pizza with salad bar and soda. I came in around 12:30 p.m. for lunch and it wasn't too busy. The decor is nice - there's some booth seating and bench seating and it was clean. I ordered a personal size thin crust pizza with three toppings and potato wedges. The pizza came on a dinner size paper plate in about 15 minutes. I thought the pizza had a little too much cheese but, it was good and fresh. The wedges were ok (the slices were cut too big) and piping hot! I burned my tongue but hey, that was my fault for stuffing myself with hot wedges since I was sooooo hungry. I wasn't too thrilled with the wedges - I'm getting the salad next time. They have a soda fountain where you get your own refills. Overall, good food at a good price point. I suggest coming here if you have a longer lunch as the pizza can take a little bit to cook. read more

Ordered delivery. It arrived at the time they said and it was going to. Had a large veggie. I like all the different veggies they use. Good size. Had left overs, which is always nice. Hot wings had lots of meat on them. Would definitely order from them again. read more

Remarkable pizza places can be hard to find and Rusty's Pizza is one of those locations which provide very nice deals on selections and options you'll find challenging to find elsewhere. There's a videogame lobby inside, of course. A lot of pepperoni may fill the pizza chosen unless other toppings are preferred and yet each pizza will show us lots of toppings. BBQ Chicken Pizzas are particularly satisfying- they come with lots of goodies like sauce and red onions, cashews as an option for more topping. Maybe you'll find a pizza with a little bit of extra char on it but I like originality and personal flavor given to a meal of great proportions. Workers shuffle into the mix; the guys are totally at their mark in presentation of food and there's nothing like eating a wonderful cashew while giving the soda cup another reason for biting on delicious items in life: there's a Coca-Cola machine inside with lots of flavors for drinks including cream soda and proper assortments of treating yourself. Lobbies in general do have a nice charm to them once they've aged over the years or so. Here, the lobby has a nice brown in the atmosphere with little tokens of appreciation decorated here and there under the warm and comfortable roof. Sure, it's not summer, but it's winter with passion. Rusty's serves plenty of sandwiches that can give bite to sides like potato wedges and a thing or two from the salad bar. Cashews tend to have interesting flavors once they've hit the pizza oven in likable texture and heat only Rusty's provides. Delivery happens rather quickly for a pizza joint like this one and I've found my family in complete satisfaction for dealing on such matters of taste against the clock we're always hurrying up on within grasp of tidiness and business for ourselves. A lot of specialty pizzas fill the menu and the cashier was kind enough overtime to let me know of those choices since technology may leave us at a loss for words despite the chance for advancing on meals while on the rush. Plates are clean, napkins are ready, and good scenery is witnessed. Rusty's is higher above Domino's in different aspects even if I'm sure Domino's competes on Hawaiian pizza and assortments of pasta, salads, chicken wings, etc. Let me tell you something more though. Kindness and security of goods let workers at Rusty's fulfill demands as far as I've seen them go hand in hand with emotions subtle to the look. Dreaming big things often goes along for the ride in their terms on conduct and privilege within reason of fortune understood by customers like myself to be vivid and remarkable through such phrases as "Will this be for here?" or "Would you like to add cashews?" and such. Personally I've found a lot to like here and I hope you guys have a nice drink of soda (tea, or something) and enjoy the scenery, as I know I will. read more

Ordered medium pizza, small wedge and wings at 6:50. Told 15 min and it ALL would be ready for pick up. Arrive and pay at 7:10 ( receipt time stamped ). And we stood there waiting. And waiting. Watched the workers argue about cooking and waited. At 7:32 I had to ask for my money back as my pizza sat there getting cold. And THEN I was told "sorry for the delay our fryer isn't working properly". As I watch a customer come back up with mushy wedges. REALLY ? From 6:50 when we ordered to 7:32 when I approached, the fryer stopped working. Or does their customer service suck that bad they feel they don't need to tell the customer when ordering. Just let them wait. Needless to say this place is HORRIBLE and won't be going back!!! read more

I don't normally write reviews... But my boyfriend insisted and it was truly just that good!!! We stopped in last night on our way home to LA from a long weekend in Yosemite, hungry and tired all we wanted was a good quick meal not too far off the freeway so we could easily get back on the road home. Not only was it that, but the pizza was some of the best we had!! Staff was super friendly and we even got to play some video games while we waited for our food. I honestly don't remember that last time I sat and ordered a whole pizza, at a real deal pizza parlor, but I think I need to do it more often!! Best pit stop ever!!!!! Definitely recommend this place! We joked about going to Bakersfield for date night just to eat this pizza!!! 10 stars for you guys !!! read more

Employees there definitely need an attitude adjustment. Ordered carry out and the guy who took our order has no knowledge of what customer service is. It was obviously our first time ordering from this place and we asked about specials, but he seemed irritated to explain. I didn't choose to work there, you did. Gave this place another try and once again greeted with rudeness. Management needs to check their staff. read more

Came in here ordered a half pepperoni half cheese medium pan pizza as well as wedges and wings was told it'd be a 30 to 45 minute wait went back inside to check on my pizza 30 minutes later and the young tall gentlemen working at the register was being so patient and nice because the older woman slicing the pizza with glasses and brunette hair I think her name was Stephanie was yelling at him and giving him attitude like I'm not standing 5 feet away at the register and can't hear her, you don't need to disrespect other employees to get your point across my friend came in 10 minutes later just to be told that they gave away our pizza I will never be coming here because the atmosphere alone is so hostile and unprofessional once again she's yelling at him that they gave it away like it's his fault when it wasn't I don't understand how he hasn't walked out yet. read more
