Are pizza and wedges just a Bakersfield thing? I left Bakersfield about 20 years ago and have lived and traveled all over the country since. And nowhere else have I ever come across a pizza place that serves wedges.

When I talk pizza with people they always give me the weirdest look when I mention eating potato wedges with pizza.

Fried chicken with pizza is another rare one but I have come across a few places that serve fried chicken with pizza.

Just want to hear what thoughts and experiences are on this from you all.

EDIT: Ok after going through the comments. Pizza and Wedges seems to be a central California thing with Bakersfield being ground zero.

A few people named some places outside the area but most of them are franchises and it seems more like a pizza buffet offering potato wedges rather than a dedicated Pizza and Wedges place.

The
California County News Report on Zack Scrivner's Family details that his mother, Kathy Scrivner, was present in the home during the incident.

Apologies, this is so random. Essentially I am in Bakersfield visiting family and all I want to find is one Joshua tree that I can take a photo with, as my name is Joshua and despite how corny it is I would like to do it for the sake of it. Does anyone know of a place in Bakersfield that has at least one Joshua tree? I couldn't be bothered to drive out of the city.

Thank you and sorry for the strange request!!

EDIT:

Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your day to help me! I'm going to try and drive down past Tehachapi near Mojave to get a photo with one. One thing I have to say is that everyone in Bakersfield and California has made an incredible impression to me, the people here are super talkative and friendly. Quite the contrast to the people in my local area in Buckinghamshire, England. You are the best people of all the countries I've travelled to, and it was my first time in the U.S so thank you so much for making it great. It's a beautiful place and I hope to come back here in the future. Perhaps I'll stay here if I get a girlfriend out here once I finish Uni, haha. All the best to everyone, thank you again!

Best spot for breakfast burrito in bako?
