Poor Richards Pizza & Bar

This review is for the Olive location!For the owners it's a need to update Google & Apple Maps, as well their website, because we couldn't find it!The pizza was fenomenal, just like their "original" location.Hands down for this pizzeria, best in Porterville!The service was great but mega slow, we were the only guests with other couple and took forever to get our food. Other dishes need lots of improvement, our paste was tasteless and not good : ( But once we get our amazing pizza, we kind of forgot of all the little issues.

This pizza parlor has a quirky and fun vibe, making it the perfect spot to hang out. The decor is super unique, and the atmosphere is laid-back and inviting. The gal working the counter was fast and efficient. We ordered the thin crust, combination pizza and it was baked to perfection, crispy with just the right amount of cheese and a fantastic mix of toppings. We also loved the tater tots and chicken wings! With ample seating and TVs showing every football game, it's a great spot to root for your team. The only downside? They ran out of jalapeños, but everything else was spot on.

After all the talk I've heard from family here in town, I was expecting a lot better experience; grant it they were talking about the downtown location. Pizza was made sloppy and the taste was mediocre. At the price of +$25 for a large I was expecting Me-N-Eds, Mountain Mike's or Round Table quality of pizza. This is definitely not worth it. I don't normally give one star review but this was close to it. Had it not been for the wonderful customer service the lady there gave.

Service is horrible, the place is super dirty, pizza is like every other over hyped pizza place. Can't give a 0 so it gets a 1

I'm sad that the Pizza is not like the old pizza at all. The crust is the only thing the same. Not worth the price anymore. The ingredients are so bad all the way to the new cheese. Can't eat it anymore.

Poor Richard's never disappoints. Delicious like always! Their combination is the best.

Pretty good thin crust pizzas. Lots of pepperoni on 1 topping. Great atmosphere saw they are hosting a comedy show for 15-20$ pretty cool.

I grew up eating here and I never had a bad experience with the pizza. Although, the prices are excessive and the charge per extra topping is high. 1 large pizza and 2 small was over $50. But , I wouldn't go here everyday and pay these prices. Then it would have to be a pay day and at most once a month. Wait time is long to eat in at the place. Most people just carry out and take it home. I'm not local so that is an issue. The music they play was not enjoyable and very loud and having a conversation is hard. But the pizza is good and it's a good thing they have more of these places to eat. I ate at the Main Street location.

We are newer to town and heard great things about this place. My husband ordered 3 pizzas and a salad through their app trying to give me a relaxing cooking free night off. They dont tell you that it's delivered through Door Dash until after you order. We ordered at 3:30 and it came around 5:15. The door dash driver just dumped the 3 pizzas on our doorstep without knocking and sprinted to his car. I saw him and followed him out but he was in his car and sped off. We called to just ask for a refund for the salad we didn't get but as my husband was on the phone with them I noticed the pizzas were ice cold. The girl on the phone told us we can just have a credit for next time for the whole order, but why would we subject ourselves to a next time. She said she would contact her boss to see IF they will refund us because no one working at the time can do it. I ended up just microwaving our pizza but nothing could have made it taste good even if it was fresh. All their toppings just fall off their rubber cheese. Their chicken is clearly just the frozen strips out of a bag as they taste freezer burnt. Will not order again.

This is for the restaurant on Olive. I don't really recommend eating at this Poor Richards Pizza, on Olive, in Porterville. When I ate there with my mom, we were starving and craving pizza. You know that when you're starving, everything just hits even if it's not that good, well this pizza was still not even good under the influence of being super hungry. The crust of my pizza was so incredibly thin that I felt that I was eating a cracker. I did not like how my pizza tasted and on top of that they took forever to bring out our pizzas and we were the only people in the restaurant. I don't understand why it took so long if we were the only people there and I saw they only had like 1 or 2 people picking up orders. I'm also a person who is not picky with my pizzas but this was by far the worst pizza I ever ate.
