We love this place. It's tucked away but always lively. Every pizza we have is excellent and their salads are sneakily good. There is always a fun beer selection everyone that is working has been so kind. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.

Wood fired pizza, fantastic chew and slight crackle on the crust. I enjoyed the toppings, though it would have been nice if they were better distributed (on the Capitol). I love the butter they serve on the rosemary loaf. One suggestion in general, for the pizzas and salads, is to rinse/soak the red onions in ice water, or quick-pickle them. The raw red onions are just too much and completely overpower the rest of the pizza or salad that it is on. The outdoor environment is great! Loved the benches, lights, and games they had on the side. We were quoted a wait of 1 hr for the pizza after ordering and it ended up being much less, maybe 25 minutes.

What do you mean it's in the alley way? Yes girl, you got to park your car and make your way to a restaurant in the alley. Once your in the aroma of pizza and fresh air surround you. You order at the counter and then grab your pizzas at the kitchen window. Very cute space and delicious pizza! Did I mention they have vegan yum yums. Recommend for sure!

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!

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.
