Federalist Pizza is a wonderfully refreshing pizza restaurant in Sacramento. They have an eclectic menu of pizza, salads, and other menu items; we have never ordered an item we did not thoroughly enjoy. Their pizzas are prepared and cooked to perfection. They have a wonderful selection of beverages. There is plenty of seating, including seating around a fire pit, great for cooler evenings. They also have a wide selection of board games you can enjoy, great for the whole family! Do yourself a favor and check out Federalist Pizza; you will not be disappointed!

Alright, I've been coming to the Federalist for years but this is the first time I've reviewed it. The order: Capitol & Southside pizzas, w/ the rosemary loaf and salami sides. Food was good/great. The rosemary loaf was the standout, followed by the Capitol, the Southside, then the salami. Southside came out way more cooked than the Capitol, on the verge of crispy. The beer selection was okay, a good spread of styles, but the specific brews/breweries were mediocre (device, dust bowl, etc). That being said, I'll still continue to come to Federalist for the pizza and ambiance.

Federalist is a rare gem and we're so happy they survived Covid. Their offerings are not as wide and varied as before but the quality is top notch. By FAR the best pepperoni pizza I have ever had, period. They baked bread and serve grilled mushrooms and great salads.... Add to that the wide variety of beer and it's a winner for sure!

Pizza was incredible, toppings were super fresh. Fun, chill atmosphere. They had a kiwi strawberry beer. That was one of the best I've ever tasted. We will definitely be back.

I came walking over from the Farmer's Market ( a little sign told me to come here for wood-fired pizza and beer ). I had to use google maps to find this little hidden gem in the alley since I'm not from Sacramento and am totally unfamiliar with the area, but I am so glad I stopped in. The guy behind the counter was super helpful ( I have a nut allergy and I am not a fan of tomato sauce on pizza... or onions... I KNOW! SORRY! ) He just made it so easy to decide what to order and I ended up ordering The Stanford w/o the pesto and red onions. The wait time was about maybe 10 minutes? The dough was thin & soft, but with great flavor! I planned to maybe eat half and save the rest, but it was so good, tip-to-crust that I practically devoured the entire thing! So if you're in the area and craving REAL pizza, I recommend this place a "MUST TRY!"... and then become a regular. They also have a game stand next to the water shelf, and they advertise Free Bingo on Tuesdays! All I know is the next time I'm in Sac, I will definitely be back 😉👍🏼

Super cool vibe , loud music has a weekend BBQ feel ! Went with the margarita pie. Char was near perfect , amazing crisp chassis , flavor was great, just a little soupy and heavy but definitely tasty. I went 7.8 on the margarita and 7.4 on the cheese . Great pie would definitely repeat.

This place was hard to find. But when you get there, you won't regret it. It's good Pizza. Wish they had more food to offer. Wish they had medium large pizzas. They only have personals which that sucksNot enough to eat but very flavorful. They need a better menu.

Definitely one of the coolest hang out spots on the grid. The atmosphere alone makes it worth it, but their beer options and the quality of their pizza are top notch. The chorizo pizza is especially delicious! It’s a tad pricey in my opinion but still an easy must-go.

The Ricky Ricotta pizza was amazing. the hot honey perfectly complements the cool ricotta. the only complaint was the price at $27 for one 10” pizza. Enough for 2 people and it came out fast

Pizza was delicious. It could be slightly less soggy in the middle, but good flavor and soft, chewy crust. Nice beer selection. I wanted to try an ice cream sandwich but they ran out by 6:30 pm. Despite not realizing ahead of time that it was counter service, staff were great. There was a hiccup with our pizza, which they went out of their way to correct. They gave us a new pizza immediately. As a former restaurant manager, I understand these things happen, and I appreciate that it was handled properly. I like that it's outdoors. We'll be back.

So it’s Saturday (6/24) night and the family’s hungry. Couldn’t decide where to go. Son had an idea to try this place out. He’s been here once before, said it’s a pretty cool spot to grab a bite. We’re up for trying different things. The place is pretty cool. Tucked in between the alleyway in downtown. The set up is inviting and gives out a great vibe (5/5). Service was pretty cool. You walk up to the ordering counter, place your order, get handed a number, and you find you own table. Don’t mind that one bit at all for a chill place to dine (5/5). We waited about 15 - 20 minutes or so before our pizzas came. We ordered three. While the pizza was good, I must admit it wasn’t exciting when compared to other pizza parlors serving gourmet pizzas. Portions are on the smaller size for the price. The pizza is made with minimal amount of crust (which is preferred by some) with lite amount of toppings. Taste wise, it’s not bad but not exciting. I would give it a 3/5. The atmosphere is great though and the staff friendly. Over all, I would give this place a 4/5 and a value to price ration of 4/5 also. It’s not a place that would top my list to go to for the food but certainly a place to go to socialize and grab a bite to eat. If you’re in the area with friends and looking for something not super fancy, gives out a good vibe where food taste/quality is not a deal breaker, then this is a place worth checking out.

We ordered two pepperoni pizzas. Both were very dry, had little sauce and even less cheese. Lots of pepperoni, though. We arrived at 4:45p, right before the kitchen opened. It was really slow, so I have no idea why our pizzas didn't come out well. Sadly, not really for us. Won't be going back.

Went with a group this evening shortly before closing and ordered a few pizzas. As the cashier was sending back the orders, a worker from the kitchen came to the counter saying “the kitchen is now closed.” We asked if the orders we had already placed could still be made, and she was greatly embarrassed that she had to cancel and refund the transactions. I understand wanting to go home at the end of the night, but not only did the kitchen staff decide to close up early, they made their co-worker up front look foolish by not telling her they were leaving in advance and to stop taking orders. We went to Marilyn’s instead and had some great pizza. I doubt we’ll try this place again.
