    Sadly, the photo can't show the verily.Horrible smell coming off this pizza right now.

    This place must have a new owner, as the pizza I received did not look like any photos on any reviews. If the place was not a local business the pie would have been returned immediately. We still have the whole pizza minus the two slices we bit into. The first sign should have been the rancid smell in my car, instead of smell of fresh baked pizza. It was a smell of something that was cooked in dirty oil just for context or a dirty refrigerator. When we bent down to smell the pie closer, there was zero smell of pizza, jut an off putting smell, but you could tell you were smelling food if you were blindfolded. There was zero seasoning in the sauce which was a blessing because it did not disguise the bitter old taste of the other rancid ingredients. This is by far the worst pizza for flavor profile and amount of ingredients for the extra charge ever purchased in my 70 years. Will go across the street to Pizza Hut from now on if I want something mediocre. Sadly this pie is so bad, it cannot even rise to mediocre. That said, the staff could not be more friendly. I hope they read this review. The pie will be donated to an unhoused camp, but I feel bad for serving something so horrible even to them.

    Nice local family run pizza in Freeport area of West Sacramento. I happened to win an Instagram contest so I used it to share a pizza party with some friends at Petco to celebrate all the kindness they showed my pup, Koko. We enjoyed the pizzas (loved the crispy yeasty crust!) and the cookie pizza was quite yummy, too. And we also had complimentary breadsticks (yum!) and sodas. I will definitely be back!! #kokoapproved #poursipsavor

    Today was my first visit to Famous Pizza but certainly won't be my last! I've driven by plenty of times during my time in Sacramento but they were closed for a bit due to a driver plowing through the front of their store. Luckily, they've survived and are up and running and their pizza is great! First things: you can order in person or online, but if you order online you can do it on their website or through an app called Slice for 5% off. Their website has a variety of deals on their online menu, from Monday and Tuesday specials, to carry out only specials (as opposed to delivery). I noticed they do half and half speciality pizzas which is the route I went, as I wanted to try a few options. After looking at their menu, I went with a half Mexican Taco pizza and half Famous Chicken pizza. Both are loaded with meat and veggies and come with different sauces, so I thought this would be a good way to try some variety. I ordered ahead as they opened at 11 AM was quoted for a ready time between 11:18 and 11:36. I left my place around 11:15 and got there at 11:25. Parking was easy and they have a parking lot as well as a "loading zone" on the side street right next to Famous Pizza - presumably for pick up orders and delivery drivers. I parked there and walked in and was the only customer in. The employee behind the counter asked if I was Lucas and told me my order had just come out. As he handed it to me, he also said I could get a free soda with it. Awesome! I wasn't expecting that, but was definitely up for a free soda. I saw they had RC Cola, something I haven't had in forever, so I went with that. There wasn't any seating inside and the store was mostly empty, so I took my pizza to-go. I opened it up to snap some pics in my car and ate a slice of both the Taco Pizza and the Famous Chicken Pizza. Both were great! What I liked about the Taco Pizza in particular was the fresh shredded lettuce. It was quality and really made it feel and taste like a taco. The Chicken Pizza also had a lot of veggies, including green onion and tomato, which was great. I'm a big fan of having both veggies and meats on my pizzas, when possible. I ate two slices before I left, and saved the rest for later. I've since had a few more slices at home and I can honestly say that the pizza holds up well - the crust especially! I'd absolutely order from Famous Pizza again and will make sure to take advantage of their online specials when I do!

    Number One Spot For Vegan Pizza!…read more SITREP On our way back to my place after a successful haul at the Saturday Midtown Farmer's Market and we come across this spot. We were hungry. We LOVE pizza! What's not to try? THE SETUP What is novel about their business plan is that they cater to BOTH vegans and carnivores! Often you get into a spot and you discover that the restaurant has no viable vegan options, OR it's a vegan spot that has no options outside that. PIZZASAURUS REX.... ...welcomes ALL! We wanted to try their Vegan Pepperoni Pizza - with both vegan mozzarella and vegan pepperoni (all plant-based) - generous portions of all the ingredients including the sweet basil! INCIDENTALS If you enjoy walking, getting there on foot is a better option considering all the parking is on the street. If you live in Midtown hood, you don't have to worry about it! THE LOWDOWN The pizza is delicious and reasonably priced considering the size of the rectangle-shaped pie!

Nice They have seating outside in front on the sidewalk. Also some outside dinning in the back of the place. You order first from the counter and then find a place to sit down and eat. They have a water station near the counter. Also the bathroom in to the right of the counter. The lady at the register was very friendly and explained the special by the slice pizza. Also you can order a pizza half one topping and the other another topping which was what we went with. We got the regular combo and the vegetarian the other half. I got a table at the top in the back. The table was a little dirty and had not been wiped down. Had to do it ourselves. The manager was across from us but didn't say anything along with another worker. Oh well. It wasn't very busy inside. They had a couple of people on the outside tables and two tables taken inside. Pretty empty otherwise. The lady told us that it would be 22 minutes for our pizza to be ready. I think we got it in 20. These are not the traditional round type. They are square and a good size to. It was 44 bucks for this pizza since we had water to drink. They crust was the best part. Nice an crispy. The vegetarian was not bad. I Liked it . The Combo was just adding salami and pepperoni. It was alright. I liked the veggi better. A lot of my wife's friends said they really liked this place. I thought it was nice but the drive from Elk Grove was a bit for this pizza. Which I thought was just ok. At least we tried it. Not bad. If I was in the area then yes.

    La Porta Came here…read moreon a Saturday for a friend's birthday with a large group of 17, and we didn't have reservations--so we knew it might be a bit of a challenge. At the time, they had one cook and a manager who was also acting as the bartender and server for the whole floor. You could tell he was a little nervous at first with such a big party, but honestly, he handled it really well. He was friendly, energetic, and super transparent about what they were out of since everything is made fresh. He also did a great job explaining the dishes and cocktails, which we appreciated. Our group was pretty easygoing, and overall the experience felt fun and relaxed. The food came out looking (and tasting) amazing across the board. I ordered the gluten-free hot honey pizza, and it was a standout--perfect crust, nice balance of sweet and heat, and loaded with cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. Definitely a win. One of my friends also ordered gluten-free and tried the pesto chicken pizza. Unfortunately, that one missed the mark--the chicken was overcooked, the pesto flavor was off, and the pizza itself was a bit bland. However, when she mentioned it, the server immediately made it right by remaking her pizza and not charging for it, which we really appreciated. The space itself has a great vibe--cute aesthetics and it sounds like they host events during the week like DJs and art nights, which is a fun touch. Parking can be a little tricky since it's on a busy intersection, but manageable. Overall, a really solid experience, especially considering our group size and no reservation. I'd definitely come back and would love to see gluten-free pasta options added in the future!

When we arrived at 7pm on a Wednesday we were concerned because it was semi-empty. So we thought "oh gosh the food isn't going to be good"! But it was amazing- this restaurant has so much potential to be sold out 7 nights a week!

We started with the shishito peppers, which were great and came with a really memorable miso aioli that was very addictive with a hint of lemon. We also got the "Fun Guy" pizza to share and made the mistake of removing the goat cheese, which I think hurt it. The crust was excellent and the toppings were fresh, but it felt like it was missing that salty, funky balance the goat cheese would've added. Still very good, but that one's on me. I'd definitely get it as intended next time. One of my favorite breweries, especially with so many having closed over the past few years. Cheers to them.

But every time I visit Paesanos I get both of those things. On my most recent visit to the restaurant, I had the pleasure of being served by Clemens. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped me find the perfect meal(Fettucine Arrositi) to fit my current dietary restrictions. He also helped my grandma find something on the menu that wouldn't be too carb heavy since she is diabetic. He was pleasant all around, he was patient with my grandma all night and made me feel like he truly valued our time and didn't rush us. He is everything you want in a server-kind,direct,knowledgeable, and dependable. I would come back any time just to get customer service like that. Now on to the food, I had the Fettucine Arrositi which I believe is their signature dish. I have had it before but this time it was especially delicious. The sauce has a flavor like no other pasta I've ever had it's rich but not too rich creamy but not too creamy and the thing that sets it apart from other creamy pastas is the subtle Cajun flavor. It tastes a bit like old bay and Tabasco to me with some other amazing things in it I'm sure but it was delicious 9/10 My grandma likes to order a lot of things for the table because she never got to have that so she ordered a bunch of things for herself to try and for me to finish. We had the meatballs and they were fantastic but she felt they were too big haha 9/10. Then we had the calamari which was my favorite of the appetizers we ordered. I'm hoping next time to try the polenta fries. Then for her main course my grandma had the wedge salad which she loved but she did mention she wished it had lots more bacon and I can't blame because I too always want more bacon on things. All in all it was a great experience and I will be back very soon.
