Papa Johns - Bakersfield

They get our order right every time. Quality ingredients and we love the Garlic Butter dipping sauce. Employees are friendly and helpful. This is at the Columbus location. Lowe's shopping center.

This Papa John's is one of our favorite spots when we don't feel like cooking. It's just a short drive away, but they also provide delivery if you prefer. The prices are reasonable, and we've never had any issues with the quality of their food.

I highly recommend getting several cups of the Special Garlic Dipping Sauce and using it to dip everything, especially when reheating your pizza leftovers the next day; it adds an extra layer of deliciousness. My boyfriend decided to try the new Extra Large NY Style Crust Create Your Own Pizza and topped it with sausage and pepperoni, opting for light sauce. He enjoyed it but mentioned that the individual NY-style slices he had at local events were superior to the whole pizza, lacking the same greasy, cheesy goodness found in a single slice. My favorite order was the Large Epic Stuffed Crust Create Your Own Pizza, which I topped with Parmesan Romano, pepperoni, onions, and mushrooms. For my Pick Your Faves Deal, I got 10-inch cheese sticks with a complimentary side of pizza dipping sauce and 6 unsauced wings with another complimentary side of ranch. Overall, the staff was friendly and efficient. The food was enjoyable and may even taste better the next day. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is that it isn't the absolute best pizza I've had—not that Papa John's could necessarily improve; it's just a matter of personal taste. I prefer more adventurous toppings like figs, jams, apples, and prosciutto, which tend to earn higher ratings.

So far, everything has been great! We're looking forward to trying the pizza and hope it lives up to expectations.

This is the best Papa John's in Bakersfield! The staff is always courteous and provides excellent service. So why only a 4-star rating? Unfortunately, almost every time, the pizza isn't cut all the way through.
