Came in for a Saturday brunch. I was actually expecting the wait time to be much longer. The food was great, prices are pretty decent as well. The only downside was that out server was about to be heading out for the day and we ended up having about 4 different people help us which sometimes can create delays in orders, which there was. Part of our order was forgotten, and we were only asked about refilling our waters once. Not too much of an issue which is why I still give them 4 stars. Great place! read more

Excellent pizza, great service. Our waiter got us a patio seat on short notice so we could watch the veteran's parade. Thank again!! =)

I was in town business and just left a Diamondbacks opening day game on March 31st. I was wanting pizza and yelped around for some places that was open. I found this place and was amazed with the good reviews. In addition this place was one of a few that was still open. Glad we picked this place. Staff welcomed us and sat us down. I ordered a pepperoni pizza. The pizza is one of the best I had. It had a unique flavor and it is wood fried. The crust is very crunchy and the tomato sauce is very good!!! The restaurant was very cozy with a lounge like atmosphere. They have a full bar with plenty of TVs. Next time I will come enjoy pizza and drink a few beers. Really cool place!! I recommend Federal Pizza to anyone looking for delicious pizza!! read more

Great new addition to the Central/Camelback corridor! The group behind Postino, Windsor and Churn have certainly done it again! The atmosphere is great...very busy and good vibe. The service was friendly, efficient and made great recommendations. The food was very tasty too...definitely try the meatballs and grilled veggies as an app and the big star and brussel sprout pizzas were a hit too. Be prepared to wait 30+ minutes for a table...at least on a Friday night, but it is definitely worth the wait. read more

Dude..... the crust.... it is so different, but very very yummy! It made my 1/2 casanova very enjoyable. I would be drawn to that style of pizza on their crust more than the traditional saucy pepperoni stuff. It seems more fitting to me. My Hubby had the pepperoni and something just wast quite right. It wasn't bad at all. The salads and appetizer selection were like dream worthy! So unique! I will be back for those for sure! We sat at the bar, and the bartender was fine. Not rude, no problem, but not nice, disengaged with people maybe. Huh, I don't know... Maybe I am needy... Haha! read more

This place is awesome. Great food, service, atmosphere,and drink choices. Parking can be improved and can the prices lowered. Many options to pick from to include a variety of appetizers. A definite 4 star pick and on my list for frequent return visits. read more

This place is amazing! I live in SD, CA! And the times I have come here I have loved it!!! The food and service are amazing!!! Nicole was our server and she was amazing! If she isn't in management, SHE NEEDS TO BE!!!! read more

Meatball sandwich or the meatball and spaghetti are delicious. For pizza, the Big Star and Margherita are done in a nice stone fire oven. We had the burrata for a starter and it was excellent. Great spot for all ages, loud and lively with plenty of tv's to watch the game. read more

So I stopped in late on Thursday, with an out of town work buddy, because it had been a really rough week. We sat outside (heavenly!) and drank wine and had some apps. The Burrata and Olive appetizers were both heavenly. We also ordered the Casanova and splurged on the fruit crisp...thanks for helping up both regain the will to live, Federal! read more

Great pizza, I really love the sweeter sauce and sausage. The Caesar salad was not the great. Prices are just a little too high.

It was our wedding anniversary and the kids were at Grandma's. It was a Wednesday night. We were both finally off work, it was 8pm, and we wanted to try to fit in a little date to celebrate another year down. I was in the mood for pizza, so of course, we turn to Yelp. We wanted somewhere good, but not good enough to require me to get all fancied up. The reviews looked promising, so we said "what the hey.." The weather was just chilly enough to not want to sit outside. We couldn't find the entrance, so we walked a circle around the entire building. It was a nice walk. We got to assess (and by assess I mean "gossip about") some couples on the patio. That was fun. Walked in, greeted right away by a nice lady. Sat at a table by the patio door. The view was nice. The bar was pretty. The crowd was a little bit hipster, a little bit normal people. It looked like there were a lot of first dates happening. Those are fun to watch. The server was super sweet, I love that they're all wearing normal clothes. The food was pretty good. We got some sort of appetizer, I forgot what it was called as soon as I ordered it. It looked like a whole bunch of fried stuff all piled together (not greasy gross fried, just fried), with 2 different dipping sauces. One green, one red. The red was better. For an entree, we shared a pizza. It was okay. We got the Big Star because all the others looked a little too weird (apple and sausage?... hmm) For dessert, we had doughnuts with the chocolate sauce. We got them because they make a similar dessert at Olive Garden, and we are obsessed with them. Well... I hate to say this, because I love small businesses, but olive garden's doughnut and chocolate sauce is a lot better. So it was a huge disappointment, but that's not necessarily their fault. Our expectations were probably too high. We also split a pitcher of beer. The total bill was 40 bucks plus tip. Not too shabby. When we left, like, 5 employees smiled and said "bye!! thanks for coming in!!" Where did they find such pleasant people? I like it. read more

We had a reservation on a Sunday and they sat us right away which was nice since it was packed. It was open kitchen and we could see the brick oven cooking all the pizzas. I ordered a wine cooler since they are pretty popular as it was very strong and refreshing. We ordered a chop salad to split and it was one of the best chop salads we had! Wish it was larger since our split portion of the meatball was on the smaller side. Pizza was good. Service could have been way better also. read more

YUM! Things I love about Federal Pizza: Casanova pizza, Wedge salad, using the drive thru to pick up a pizza AND a bottle of wine (that is 1/2 price when bought at drive-thru), Tuesdays pizza and bottle for $20. Things I don't love: I can't eat pizza every day. read more

I always have a positive experience at Federal Pizza! They have a great lunch special that comes with a personal sized pizza and side salad for about $8. The iced t is great, the bombolini are divine, and you can't go wrong with the "big star" pizza! Can't complain about the service either, they're always super nice and attentive! read more

Federal Pizza - Great lunch special! - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love this spot. Great food, service, and atmosphere. My favorite pizzas are the Manifesto and the Casanova. They have a drive thru for to go orders and serve growlers. I've sat at the pizza bar area a couple times and enjoyed watching the pizzas being made. Overall, I'd highly recommend. read more

Not my favorite place but went anyway.. Waitress with an attitude!! Everything we asked her for was treated like an imposition! The food is ok but the service is consistently poor! The Music blared so loud we could not hear each other talk, we couldn't even complain loud enough! When we asked our waitress if the music could be turned down she had ask us what we said because she couldn't hear us. (The answer was... I will ask but the owner usually won't let us....)Hard to believe its the same ownership as Windsor and Postinos!! read more

If there is anything my family takes seriously, it's pizza. My kids may be two and five but they don't want to chomp on greasy fast-food pizza anymore than the next guy. Federal is hands-down our favorite restaurant in town. The menu is amazing. We haven't ever ordered anything we didn't like. My kids love the sweet potato and sage and I'm a big fan of the sweeter Casanova. The brussels sprout is crazy good (even if you're not a regular brussels fan) and so is the Schreiner's sausage. My husband ordered the chef's choice once--it was a mushroom pizza that was delicious. The appetizers are also really good, if you're with a crowd. The staff is really friendly and accommodating--happy to give you the low down on any beers or pizzas that you're curious about. read more

Best. Ravioli. Ever. We went there for my birthday celebration dinner. Our group of 6 got several things to share. Homemade ravioli, vegetable lasagna and two pizzas. Everything was very good, but that ravioli! I loved it! My mom and sister did too. The brown butter sauce and pine nuts on it were so delicious! The restaurant was very clean and nice. Great service and beer too! Definitely will be back again! read more

I have only ever ordered the pepperoni pizza here but I love it. I love the ambience of the restaurant; and the fact that they offer drive thru service is amazing! (Which I have made plenty use of) Great spot in a great location! read more

Note: We will no longer give any business to Federal. This was a bad experience with the food. Sad, but its ruined all our pizza cravings for now. So, good luck w the place..but we will find a new spot the next time we want pizza. read more

I love most of Upward Projects group of restaurants. This is one of them. The prices here are pretty fair and are about the same as all their competitors. I just got a pepperoni and sausage pizza. They use high quality ingredients in their pizza so you can tell when you take a bite how amazing each ingredient is on its own. The place is always poppin' it seems like. The layout of the restaurant is interesting, but fun. I enjoyed myself while here. They get pretty busy, but we didn't have to wait. The server was friendly and accommodating. You won't regret coming here and check out other Upward Projects restaurants while you are at it. They have some great ones! read more

One of our favorite places to visit. Never disappoints. Super friend staff that is always welcome to accommodate any special requests for food(meat free, substitutions, etc) great lunch specials. Best wedge salad out there hands down! read more

Very good pizza. The tomatoes on the margarita were delicious! We also really liked the salad dressing on the salad we ordered. Will definitely return! read more

Excited to go to another Upward Projects place as Positinos and Windsor are already a favorite. Great thin crust...and lots of unique toppings. All the servers seemed to help each other out and were attentive, tho, no personal touch. Busy, hopping, great location and food, tho. I will go again. read more

The pizza here is bomb like donkey kong! In my opinion, better than Pizzeria Bianco. I tried the sweet potato/sage/ricotta pizza and the casanova. I'm eating leftovers right now and it still tastes amazing. Service was great! Can't wait to go back. read more

Great food, atmosphere, and service! And Churn is across the street. The Parlor has some good competition!

I am not really a huge fan of fancy pizza, but this pizza was quite delicious. I went for the classic pepperoni and cheese and it was really good. It's a pretty big personal serving of pizza; most likely you will need to take half home. It is on the pricy side, but you can tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. This restaurant is really cute and right next to a bakery, which is convenient for the sweet tooth after. It was good and I will be back, just not on a regular basis. read more

went again. this time with a smaller group of friends. pizza was just as yummy, service just as good if not better. love the people and vibe at this place. And the music isn't bad either :) read more

Federal Pizza - got myself a whole pizza thinking I could finish it. I was wrong... - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

At last pizza is really good. Blueberry hibiscus wine cooler is awesome. Quick service.

Great service! Great Food! Fabulous ambiance! Fabulous attentive staff; Not pretentious at all. These UPWARD PROJECTS Group are smart, innovative and awesome. Wish them much success. Can't wait to try their new venture, Joy Ride Taco right next door. read more

Another Upward Project gem (Postino, Windsor)... This time they take on pizza! And as usual, they know how to tantalize the taste buds. My husband and I sat right up at the counter overlooking the kitchen & wood-fire oven. It was busy & lively. I had a mushroom & green pepper pizza which was good, but I think I will go for one of their pizza creations next time. They look interesting & possibly delicious. I was really impressed with their "Great Little Salad" for $4... It wasn't your usual iceberg, carrot & ranch dressing side salad. It truly was a great & a cheap addition to my pizza! I cannot wait to order a pizza for pick up & pick it up via their drive-thru. How cool huh? Every parent's dream!!! ;-) read more

Love it ,from Boston' and went with 7 of us and ate like kings and queens,bartenders,manager,servers,1st class,decor great,food a 10 , this is gonna be are 3rd time back,outdoor seating,love it !!! read more

Another great restaurant by Upward Projects! This location is in a great neighborhood situated off central in a remodeled bank of architectural significance to Phoenix. The Federal is a great urban, trendy pizza restaurant that serves unique, gourmet pizza that your chef creates with customized fresh ingredients unlike any other in town save Pizzeria Bianco. Even the crust is tasty and cannot be left on your plate. There are so many choices and the atmosphere us young and hip. I do love the background music but it could be played a bit lower to allow conversation. I will go back again and again! read more

While I quite enjoy the pizza here, I fail to see what the uproar is about. The margherita pizza is good, but I guess once you've had NY pizza, nothing else can compare (my apologies for sounding like a pizza snob). The meatball pizza is delicious, but I would recommend to get it without onions if you're not a fan because they tend to overdo the onions here. Overall, I'd go back, but it's not a must for me. read more

My wife and I discovered this place recently when looking for eateries open after 9 p.m. I have heard it mentioned a time or two among friends but never tried it until now. We were both very pleasantly surprised. The food was great despite the pizza being much different than what we are accustomed to it was delicious. The prices were very reasonable as well. And to top it off the soundtrack in this place is great, damn near the exact same tunes I play in my own business and it definitely give this place a good vibe. We've already decided that we are regulars from this point forward. read more

Best pizza in Phoenix! The crust is incredible. I highly recommend the Casanova, but Add Apples and Sausage. To die for!!!! Only downside is parking, it's a challenge but the Pizzas worth it. Trust me!!!! read more

Came here last night for dinner around 6:00. It was bustling but we were seated promptly. We got service with water and drinks right away also. Our server was very friendly and efficient, she gave us good feedback when we asked her about the menu items we were trying to decide between. Our food came out quick but not overly quick to make us think we were being hustled out for some reason. The food was delicious and plentiful. Not enormous portions but just the right amount. The only negative for me was the restrooms were co-ed, co-mingled whatever you want to call it. I don't care for that, when you have two rooms why not keep them separate? The signs on the doors of the restrooms were cute and clever but I would prefer one gender bathrooms. read more

My daughter and I were attempting to try Windsor across the street but they had a wait so we decided to try out Federal Pizza. I wasn't really in the mood for pizza (weird, I know) but Joyride looked super busy. I ordered the caprese sandwich and my daughter ordered the margherita pizza. The sandwich was good, just your normal caprese though, nothing special. I tried a slice of pizza and I immediately fell in love!! This thing literally melted in my mouth. It doesn't look like much but this is an example of "it tastes better than it looks". The olive oil they put on it is so rich and yummy and added a great touch! Good crust and the cheese is yumm. Service was great, our drinks were promptly refilled and everyone was super pleasant. I think this might become my new favorite pizza place but just to be sure I have to come back and make sure. read more

Friends who know put Fed in their top pizza spot. It's a defendable position, but not mine. Top5 maybe. I will say that the lunch double down ( half pizza, half salad) with a pitcher of black market aftermath is ad good as any lunch I've had in Phoenix in the last 20 years. Great job and interesting menu. read more

What an awesome experience at Federal Pizza! We came around lunch time and just had a 10-15 minute wait which wasn't bad. The server was very friendly, suggested great items, and food turned out great! I was hesitant because I just had an unpleasant experience at one of the restaurants next door but I am happy that I tagged along to try it out!! I will definitely be back :) read more
