Half combo half potato
Rebecca K.

Hands down, one of my favorite pizza places in town. There's a distinct taste to their pizza, especially their crust (I'm a carb gal). They are known for their Dino slice and potato pizza. I usually order online and pick up my pizza, I've only dined in once. Online ordering is straightforward and easy. The restaurant is located downtown and does have a large outdoor seating area. Pros: love their pizza, my favorite is the combo pizza. The potato pizza grew on me, it was the white sauce and cheese blend that won me over. I haven't tried the Dino slice yet so I'll be making sure to go back and try it. Cons: since it's downtown and there's a lot of local businesses around, parking can be hard to find. Sometimes we get lucky and find parking close by!

Potato pizza

One of the best pizzas I've had. Visiting out of town and wife and I stumbled on this place. Vibe was super lively and service was good. We had the potato pizza and it was amazing. Good beer selection too.

Absolutely DELICIOUS PIZZA! The dough was to die for and I'm not a dough fan normally, I like thin crispy pizzas but this dough was like BUH-DUH! So dang delicious! We got a half combo and hair chicken with some hot honey sauce on it and the most delicious creamy sauce. The chicken was so tender and perfect! We sat outside and it was a gorgeous day and we washed everything down with some cans of Coke! Can't wait to go again and check out the pepperoni. It all looks so good!

Heard rave things about this place. Unfortunately it didn't deliver. Got a pepperoni pizza - it was delicious. Not much to say here. Could use more cheese. Also got the white sauce potato pizza and I paid extra for chicken. This one missed the mark. It didn't taste like there was any sauce. And I'm not sure there's any chicken on it. Atleast I couldn't tell. Kind of a bummer.

Stopped in on our way to the Saturday market and grabbed a slice so we could use their bathroom LOL The pizza was incredible (and I don't even like pizza)! We'll definitely be back soon!

Grabbed it to go and went to Biergarten!

Woowwww - pizza is huge. We got the potato one because of how much I love Majkas. This one is diff I felt like there was ruffle potato crisp chips on this. It was super soft and fluffy. Exact opposite of Majkas. So, just depends how you like your pizza? (I like Majkas potato pizza more) But, this is still super yummy and had to get the jalapeño dip with it, not too spicy. However, I like Majkas dip a big more, it was more creamy? And I love how it is just next to Biergarten!!!

This is a quaint little pizza place recommended to me from my Dr at Sutter nearby. The logo is adorable but their pizza is even better. We ordered half cheese half potato pizza add sausage, it was $36 and well worth it. We got it to go and it took about 20-25 minutes. It was so hard not to devour it in the car! We will definitely be back

I was a plus one at this spot, so I did not pick it or order. My partner's brother selected the place and handled the order, and I just showed up ready to eat. We chose Pizzasaurus Rex because they offer a variety of vegan options, which is pretty rare for pizza spots. They had two to three vegan pizzas available, and honestly, they were not bad at all. My partner, who is vegan, was really happy with the selection. I love pizza, but I usually hesitate with vegan pizza because the cheese never quite hits the same. This place did a solid job with their vegan options, but for me, the non vegan pepperoni pizza was the winner. I loved the square slices, which were light and crunchy, and the pepperoni had just the right amount of crisp. Overall, a great option if you are dining with both vegans and non vegans, and definitely worth checking out. The spot felt relaxed and casual, with beer and wine available. It is a great place to hang out and catch up with friends, or to bring family for a laid back dinner like we did.

Insanely good and creative! Love that the slices are squares first off. The flavors are super fun and even the traditional ones taste more flavorful than regular slices! I'm so glad I was recommended the Dino eggs they were so tasty and the dipping sauces were both amazing! Service was so nice, very fast and very welcoming and kind. Fun to see them interact with regulars who came in as well. Great lil spot in sac with a super cute logo. Have been here once before with a friend for dinner here going out and the energy was amazing. Great quality and portion for your bucks! Def will be back soon.

Half pepperoni half cheese pizza for $31+ This pizza was not cooked enough for me
Ursula O.

Today was the first time I ordered a regular size pizza instead of the slices like I normally do. Normally, I am in heaven with my pizza, but today, it just didn't hit the spot. I put in an order for a full size pizza with half pepperoni and half cheese. My sis got a sprite and I stuck with water. It was was such a gorgeous day, we decided to enjoy our pizza outside with others! The free water they offer near the front enters is gross. Definitely from the tap. I'm not sure if they offer bottled, but that'll be the route I go next time. The pizza took quite some time... I figured because it was busy and I requested it to be crispy. If the pizza tastes anything like the video I posted on here, it's absolutely worth the wait. It didn't come out crispy. I was pretty disappointed. To me it was undercooked, flimsy. Soft, but since my pregnant sister was hungry, I didn't want her to wait longer for me to walk back, and get it corrected because we waited a while already. I ate one slice and decided to box up the rest of my half. I figured I could fix it up when I got home. For me, Pizzasaurus Rex was missing that IT factor today. Zero crispy crust at all. It was soft, which made the rest of the pizza disappointing with softer toppings. We drove all the way out here for that crunch... that taste, but today's visit was about a good as going to the local pizza joint near my house, except a lot more expensive. My sister boxed her's up, too. We sat for a while so she could rest and then we were in our way. Today was a miss. Next time, I will step up to the counter if I have time or a not so hungry sister. Or even go back to getting slices because it's probably easier for them to crispy those up... and if I have to drive home to fix a pizza so it isn't so soggy, it isn't worth paying over $30 for.

Tasty pizza and good beers on tap in a cozy spot. We sat at the bar and they took our order there but you generally order at the counter. Pizza- we ordered by the slice and they were a thinner square style but very sizable slice. Pepperoni is my fave here. I wasn't as into the Dino eggs and could skip those

Pepperoni by the slice
Jenny T.

Such a cute place! Staff was so helpful in helping us navigate our way through our options. We ended up getting one of each of the individual slices offered for the day and split them. It was the perfect amount. Now for the pizza! It was so good. The pickle pizza was the highlight. It was unexpectedly amazing. Each slice had their own unique flavor and was cooked to perfection. I recommend giving this place a try. It is so cute inside with their decor. They have outside and inside seating and the food is amazing! Definitely going back!

Combo
Carly C.

Pizza was great. They have the expected options, not too many but they do have supreme which was great. The service even accommodated so one half of the pizza did not have certain ingredients. The crust was not too thick and not too thin. There also wasn't a ton of sauce which I like.

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!

I've eaten a lot of lasagna in my lifetime, the bolognese sauce in this is bomb. I would give the pizza a 7/10, I'm a very picky eater. I would definitely suggest people in the area try this place for yourself. Their Instagram page is lacking food content and I let our waitress know on ways to fix it. 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!

This place continues to evolve for the better, including their brews, food ans atmosphere! I wanna give a special shout out to Kim & Josh who I've come across multiple times.

Everyone was super friendly and laid back. You can order at the tap or grab a seat and order via QR, which is awesome. Plenty of seating, spacious, good vibes, and they had Premier League on their massive TV. Beer was superb, kind of hard to review because I just love beer, man. 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.
