    I really like Poor Richard's but be forewarned, the service is often slow.  The establishment is in a old building on Main st with and old wood floor.  The decor is really eclectic and old and almost has a macabre feeling.  The gigantic wooden bar is an awesome spectacle and is rumored to have been Al Capone's (I have yet to be presented with any evidence of this though).
    The pizza is not cheap but not too expensive either.  It is on a thinner style crust and the sauce is a great compliment to the crust and high quality toppings.  If you are looking for something a little different than your regular pepperoni pizza I reccomend the Mexican pizza with chorizo.
    If you are not hurried I recommend giving Poor Richard's a try.

    Hands down, the best pizza in town. The old historic Porterville feel in this place really sets the mood. I just wish they had soda dispensers instead of can cokes all the time.  Overall, I love this place and keep coming back because the crust, sauce, and toppings are delicious.

    Keep up the great work guys.

    Pizza was delicious!! Staff was okay....and it was a bit warm inside; however, we had a nice time and as I said the pizza was great. Next time I am in town to visit family we will all be back again.

    Favorite pizza place of all time.  I love the old dim brick building.  Been going here since I was a kid.  The pizza is magic.  I think it has to do with the dough and the sauce.  The flavors are indescribable and the texture is the perfect mix of chewy and crisp.  The air pockets that developed in the crust is Poor Richard's signature.  Amazing!

    This place is top 2 of my favorite pizza places in town the ingredients, sauce, and crust are all good and different than anyone elses in town!
    Just not open as much as i wish it would but makes alot sense as most people buy from fast food pizza chains.
