http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/TheInsider/18523 Ordering hot &amp; fresh Papa John's pizza easier than ever since you don't even need to call or go online to order. They have gone geeky.&nbsp; They now launched a text ordering feature that's made ordering Papa John's pizza as simple as sending&nbsp; a short text message from your cell phone. Have we really gotten that lazy? I prefer a more gourmet pizza myself than Papa Johns. I was happy when California Pizza Kitchen opened in Bakersfield since I was looking forward to getting something other than a Pepperoni pizza. I found our CPK a bit disappointing, and it seems like other Inside Guide reviewers has as well since it is averaging *** out of ***** on the Inside Guide. &nbsp; The best pizza I've ever had was from a sidewalk vendor in Southern Italy. It was a thin crust pizza with buffalo mozzarella, zucchini flowers and anchovies. It made American style pizza seem like a joke. When I do order pizza (about every 6 months or so), it's usually a Hawaiian with pineapple and Canadian Bacon. I also must have it with a side of ranch for dipping.&nbsp; What's your favorite pizza?
