John's Pizza

What a hidden gem of a pizza parlor! It doesn't look big from the outside, but as you enter the building, you can see that it's pretty huge. They've got a big dining area, banquet rooms, and a game room. Great place to host a birthday party. I was recommended the breadsticks and whipped honey butter, ranch, and nacho cheese. Honestly, if this was all I had to order, this was a meal all in itself! The bread was hot, fresh, and soft on the inside. Each bite was like a warm pillow in my mouth. My coworker also recommended the Peanut Butter Pepperoni Pizza. The last time I had one was at John's Incredible Pizza in Bakersfield several years ago. Apparently, this pizza joint is THE original John's and the first owner was the one who created John's Incredible. Also, fun fact....Mark Hoppus (from Blink 182) used to work here when he was in high school.Would I come back to try the other pizzas? Of course I would! That and some of the delicious looking sandwiches I read on the menu. Also heard their ice cream is homemade and top notch.Also, shout out to Karen our server who was an absolute peach. She was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of.

Servers were nice but the food was extremely disappointing. Salad was okay. Pizza was undercooked / doughy and the toppings fell off everytime we tried to grab a slice. Ordered breadsticks we never got. Nachos were the worst of all. Not a single whole chip on the entire plate, they dumped the bottom of the bag onto the plate so it was full of crumbs, toppings added that I asked to not be on there, gross canned plasticky cheese, and the portion was tiny. Even my kids wouldn't eat it. I expected much more for the high price, not worth it at all!

Good pizza and tasty salads. Highly recommended for a good atmosphere, great tasting food and a staff that loves to serve. Good for a big gathering or small groups.

The food was Delicious I recommend The Hot Waldo Fabulous Our server Jeff was very friendly and came and chatted with us The kids loved the game room and the children were very polite Nice Warm Feeling I will be back It was my first time it won't be my last

The decor here is fun and creative, and the place is clean, which I appreciated. The food was good, but I found it to be overpriced, even the ice cream. Additionally, I noticed that many of the attractions in the kids' area were out of service, which was disappointing. Overall, while there are some positives, I felt the value didn't quite match the price.

For those old school high desert folks, we decided to make the trek to Ridgecrest to travel back in time and reminisce about the good old days of John's Pizza. The taste of the breadsticks, pizza and home made ice cream brought us back to the 80's when life was good...food, service and ambiance were all great!

Went back and ordered pasta, chicken caeser salad, a pizza, and another dipping sauce for the weird breadsticks. I wish Gordon Ramsey would have been at this meal with me cuz I don't know the right words to say how disappointing this food was. Fettuccine Alfredo add chicken ($4.95 for the add-on) was served cold, and the portion was small for $16.75. The chicken was a little small handful of dry, pre-diced, sad pieces of chicken. The chicken caeser salad was the same size as the pasta, with the same pathetic little handful of dry chicken kibble on top and for some reason the dressing was on the side-- if I had known they don't toss their caeser salad, I'd have requested it tossed. However, that ramekin of what they call caeser dressing told on itself. It was soybean oil goop and made for the worst caeser salad I've ever had. The pizza was OK but bland and not worth the price when Pizza Hut makes better pizza cheaper. My bill was $94 for a bunch of disrespect as consumers. We will only come back for the arcade which is fun (and maybe a banana split). Service was pleasant.

I grew up in Ridgecrest and this place holds a special place in my heart. Every year my twin brother and I celebrated our birthday at John's because the food is good, the environment is welcoming, and there was a fun arcade. I know there have been a lot of changes throughout the years, but every time I visit home, I have to stop by and have some breadsticks. The breadsticks and ranch from here would be a last-meal request from me if I had to. The arcade is not as big and expansive as it used to be, but I appreciate that they have put in the effort to keep it going and provide a fun place for kids to go to in town.

Awful service and employees who seem to not know how to communicate with people? Argumentative when confronted of their own error, basically trying to justify why they did what they did. The so called manager is the absolute worst!! I also asked for a bandaid for my hurt child and they stated they didn't have any. What kind of a place with a play yard doesn't have bandaids for kids who get hurt? !!!

this pizza is a holy experience. I didn't know life could be like this. the breadsticks are enough for me to kill another person just to get them. the honey butter could be turned into a religion. This will be a generational sanctuary for my family.
