Hate to say it, but we were disappointed with our order we had delivered last night. We dropped over $100 on 3 pizzas, a pasta, and a small salad and didn't feel like the usual Federal quality was there. The crust on the Hawaiian was so flimsy and underdone, some of the toppings slid right off. The middle of the pizza was just kind of a mushy mess. And the pepperoni pan pizza had hardly any cheese on it. It was basically just a lot of sauce and not very much pepperoni. The beef Bolognese pasta was fine. Nothing great, and not nearly as good as when it used to come with lamb. Sad to say the side salad was the highlight for me, although a bit pricey for the tiny portion. Federal has been one of our can't-miss places in Phoenix for years. We used to always rave about the high quality and consistency of everything they offer. I really hope this isn't the new normal. read more

Nubia has terrific customer service and patience she was fantastic! Food was great and vibes were through the roof!

I love love love this place! There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. Usually, they have a long wait so make sure to plan accordingly. They have unique pizza toppings and I have yet to try something that isn't yummy. We ordered 2 pizzas, garlic bread and wings for 3 people and we were unable able to finish it all (we tend to eat a lot). Highly recommend adding an egg to your pizza if you're into venturing out from the norm. The service is the only downside to this establishment. We asked for a refill 3 times before we were actually able to get one. Regardless, we keep coming back because it's that good. read more

I work for a delivery platform and have picked up orders from this location multiple times. Unfortunately, every single time I arrive, the order is not ready often not even close to being completed. What makes this especially frustrating is the consistent lack of accountability from management. I have politely requested to speak with a manager on several occasions, and the response is always the same "It's not our fault," "There's nothing we can do," or "If you don't want to wait, you can leave the order." This response is dismissive and completely ignores the fact that delivery drivers are working on tight schedules, just like the customers who are waiting for their food. Delivery drivers are not paid to stand around indefinitely. Our time is just as valuable as the restaurant's and the customer's. Repeated delays negatively affect driver ratings, customer satisfaction, and the overall reputation of the business. Being told repeatedly that no one can take responsibility or make adjustments reflects very poorly on the management running this location. At this point, the issue does not seem to be occasional delays it appears to be a systemic management and workflow problem. If orders cannot be completed on time, then pickup times need to be adjusted, staffing needs to be reevaluated, or management needs to take ownership and communicate honestly instead of deflecting responsibility. I strongly encourage the owner or upper management to review how this location is being managed, as the current approach is disrespectful to delivery drivers and unfair to customers. This restaurant has the potential to do better, but meaningful changes need to start with leadership and accountability. read more

Ah Federal Pizza. I have eaten here in person and had delivery. This time was delivery and it arrived cold. No fault of the restaurants as they didn't deliver it, but it made the food not as good as usual. It was a 3 star this time, but they are usually 4. The Garlic bread was great with the "spicy" marinara. I do with it had some more spice though. Make us sweat! The pepperoni pizza had a crispy artisan crust with tiny pepperonis that cup when it cooks. These are the only pepperonis I want from now on! The wings were your average buffalo wings BUT, with their homemade ranch... yum! The ranch takes the cake here. I could probably drink it. I will be back here for sure, but in person, no take away or delivery. This type of pizza doesn't hold well over time. read more

Let me preface this by saying I usually have a great experience here. Unfortunately that was not the case during this visit. Ordering Online - once we placed our order online, it gave us an estimated pickup time of 45 minutes later. We arrived 3 minutes early (just in case) and didn't get our food until 60 minutes after ordering. We had a salad in our order, but didn't receive any utensils even though we requested 3 sets. Normally that wouldn't matter, but when you're staying at a hotel, it's a major inconvenience. Drive Thru - I don't recommend using this on busy nights since it gets crowded and there aren't that many pickup parking spots. Since people don't necessarily arrive in the order that the food is ready, they will most likely direct you to the parking spots in between them and Joyride. Food - I love their pizza! I recommend the meatball pizza since they make their own meatballs. They also have a good chopped salad, although I wish the lettuce was more chopped up (it's more like wild greens). I've been here before to dine in and I think I would stick to that in the future. They don't have a ton of seating inside, but I've had good service before. read more

A go-to in Phoenix! I came here a bunch of times with friends, family, out-of-towners, and coworkers. It was a really solid spot; definitely got busy on Mondays and Tuesdays because they had their bottle/pitcher and pizza for $20 deal, but it's since gone up to $30 (ughhh inflation). Honestly, still a great deal, but knowing/remembering the really good days stings just a bit. I tried a lot of their dishes over the years - wings were delicious (buffalo and windsor gold). Casanova, At Last, and Flaming Lips pizza were phenomenal and the pasta always hit the spot. You really couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. It was also always vibrant and lively, service was great, and, especially with the mon/tue night specials, great value for money. I loved it enough to come outside of that window too though! If you're in the area, you are in for a treat! read more

Federal Pizza - all the pizza - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Our family loves Federal! We'll find any excuse to meet up here. The team members are very individualistic and LGBTQ+ friendly. My fiancée loves the Flaming Lips pizza, with Gorgonzola and mixed Italian meats. Even though I don't eat meat, the wings are absolutely delicious! I don't love that the servers assume you want a pitcher of beer instead of a pint. I'm a slow drinker and my beer gets warm in the AZ heat! Keep up the great vibes! read more

Went to Federal Pizza and honestly loved everything. We did a half-and-half pizza so we could try two kinds, and both were delicious. The wings were packed with flavor, and the mozzarella balls were melty and perfect. Our server was super friendly and even helped us pick out a wine that went perfectly with the food. Such a chill, fun spot I'm already thinking about going back SOON. read more

Federal Pizza - Peoperoni pizza and Caesar salad - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Based on the Yelp listing, we dined here during a recent visit to Phoenix. Hubby's sister flew in on Saturday, and we picked her up before proceeding to the restaurant. We had no reservation, but the wait was reasonable for a weekend evening. Our server, Willow, took good care of us, as well as provided a delicious dessert recommendation. Sis enjoyed her glass of Prosecco with a heaping plate of Garganelli. Hubby teased his sister for her vegetable entree, while he wolfed down the Lamb Bolognese. His beverage tonight was the Huss Arizona Light beer. I opted for the yummy Mickey White pasta, with enough for a doggy bag. Our shared dessert was the Salted Caramel Banana Pudding. Three thumbs up! A bustling, fun place with decent prices. My only misgiving is how dark the room is. read more

Did I just become a regular here? Came here for a quick bite after work with my husband. Did I mention we are big fans of the Blueberry Hibiscus wine cooler. We ordered a Pineapple Express pizza and 15pc wings (half buffalo/half honey hot) our pizza came out super fast! As usual, the wings were amazing! About a minute later one of the staff members tells us they are making us another pizza because they accidentally put goat cheese on the first one when they should've put mozzarella. What this review is really about is that not very many restaurants will be proactive enough to catch a mistake and fix it without the customer knowing. That is integrity and I truly respect that! Honestly, my husband and I were so hungry we really hadn't noticed it they didn't come and tell us. Again, I have so much respect for a place of business that does this. That type of service deserves my loyalty. Thank you to the staff at Federal Pizza. The food is on point every time I visit! read more

Good pizza but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. We were limited on time so elected to try the pepperoni pizzas. One gluten free just to try it. Regular crust was much better as one would expect. I've had much better gluten free pizzas and wouldn't recommend coming here for it. Service was good, restaurant had a clean upbeat franchise vibe. read more

Placed an order for pick-up while we were in the area. Great gluten-free pizza here! SiSi helped us, and she was awesome. Not just because we had service with a smile, but because she took the time to answer questions about ingredients, and even talked to the staff in back to get answers. If you are gluten-free because of celiac disease or an allergy, let them know. They will bake it in a separate oven and make sure to use a clean pizza cutter. If you just order gluten-free without specifying allergy, it will be baked with all the other pizzas. Also, they cannot guarantee cross contamination. Not many places do. Since April, they have officially had a full bar! Specialty cocktails, local craft beers including 4 Pigs, and Greenwood. A nice wine list, also offering some local brands, italian etc.. They rotate both! It is warmer than most places on a hot day in the early afternoon. Not too bad. Love that they have a drive-thru, though I haven't taken advantage of it yet. They have always been busy, yet still attentive, super friendly, and fast every visit. Our gluten-free cheese pizzas were great. They have the loose flour at the bottom of the pizza which makes it taste like a traditional pizza. I was assured it was just rice flour. The crust is so yummy, that it makes Federal one of our favorite local pizza places. Definitely tastes best fresh! Yummy food, great service every time makes Federal's a go-to place we can't pass when in the area. read more

This place was amazing! We walked in on a Saturday night with 5 of us and were seated right away. The server was super helpful in telling us all about the specials and popular pizzas. We had never been and wanted to try several pizzas so we got three but did half one kind and half another on each so got to try out several of the pizzas both red and white sauce. They were all AMAZING. Prices were very reasonable as well! Will definitely be back read more

We went to Federal pizza for dinner as our family outing & we were all excited to try a new restaurant. We had to wait about 25mins for a seat; inside they have limited seating for the waiting area & you can also seat outside under the spritzers. Once seated our waitress came over to us to ask us if we had any questions & explained that you can get almost any pizza into a pan crust which she enjoyed. We ordered 2 appetizers: meatballs w/ polenta & crispy mozzarella (both appetizers were delicious). Dinner we ordered 3 different pizza's to try: Pineapple Express, Big Star & pepperoni & sausage (all pan crust); all our pizza was very good. Just a suggestion our pineapple pizza was little overcooked & to make sure to take all pizza's out in time. We were also given a free cheese pizza reg pizza as well due to an error I believe. We were so pleased w/ our service, food & so much more. Also the restaurant have a drive thru to pickup food to go & have $30 specials on Mon/Tues for pizza & bottle of wine & or beer. We will definitely be back again. read more

Had found this place on Yelp sometime back and book marked it as we wanted to try. Had finally had that opportunity a few days ago, as was in the area that evening so decided to stop in. The vibe was like old school Rustic Italian. What really stood out was the beautiful long bar and the throw back color schemes of the vintage style cushioned back restaurant booths. Definitely well-established interior design with history which was really inviting. We were so looking forward to the wings and pizza, so decided on the honey hot wings & the pepperoni pizza with additional basil and roasted garlic which were charged dollar $ each for those added ingredients. Started with the wings which were decent. More honey flavor than hot. We didn't care for the blue cheese dip, it was to fermented in a blue cheese note for our liking. Pizza arrived shortly after when we were almost finished with our wings. It was a 12" hand tossed and then baked in a wood fire oven. It came to the table looking appealing, but first slice in; fairly disappointing. Generally, not a huge fan of the wood oven flare because it tends to be slightly bubbled & the crust often can burn on the bottom of the pie/ which is exactly what happened with ours. Many people have an appeal to this method, but in my opinion the dark char takes over the full flavor of the entire experience. The sauce tasted straight out of the can with no additional seasoning. Very bland. Not much basil or garlic was added ( for the fee they charge). Overall have had much much better. Note- The pizzas, typically suitable for two to share, are all available in half sizes during the middle of the day as part of a "Double Down" lunch special. They do offer salads and pastas on the menu as well. Staff was pleasant and again atmosphere was attractive. Suggest to go during their off hours as seating for the establishment is limited (narrow) in dining capacity, so not a lot of seating during prime times which will allow for long waits. read more

The Double Down lunch special -- a half pizza and half salad of your choice -- is a delicious deal. Because I'm a sucker for sweet and savory flavor combos, I went with the Wedge salad (which has dates -- an inspired addition) and Flaming Lips pie. My husband is an unapologetic carnivore so he enjoyed the Federal Chop salad and the Meatball pizza. We both agreed that the latter was a bit bland when fresh, but melded together as leftovers the next day. read more

My favorite restaurant in all of AZ. Highly recommend the supremium pan pizza, golden wings, and federal chop salad! Awesome staff and ambiance! read more

I'm not sure why, but Phoenix seems to be a hotspot for spectacular pizza. I am also not complaining! Federal pizza has secured its spot as a top pizza joint in my list for Phoenix. I think it is on a lot of other peoples list as well, as it was quite busy - and we were there on a Thursday! They don't accept reservations for parties under 6, so factor in a wait if you're going during dinner hours. I love that their menu contains some classic pizzas as well as some pretty unique combinations. We ordered the Casanova and manifesto. The dough is on the thinner side, really light, and super tasty! Think a Neapolitan style dough with less chew and more flakey! Both pizzas were great but I slightly favored the Casanova. Pro tip: ADD ROASTED GARLIC! The beer tour is also a great deal! It is only $8 for a flight of 4. Really solid food and great service. I will definitely be returning to try the other pizzas! read more

This is the best pizza place I've ever been to. I came here since there were so many great reviews and they were right! I came during lunch on a weekday and waited about 25 mins. We got seated and our server was nice and helped us order a few items. My beer came out first and slowly everything else came. The pizza was fantastic and the crust was my favorite. They have good lunch deals which we got for the table. The wings were pretty good but the sides/appetizers were out of this world! We got Brussels sprouts and potatoes. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! Our server gave us chili oil on the side too. I will be back whenever I'm in Arizona. The parking was sorta difficult but we managed to find parking fast. I was surprised with this meal! Everyone was nice and the food was incredible! read more

The pizza and wings are very amazing I loved the drinks customer service was top tier and the place is very well kept and clean.

What can I say! Pizza was #fire! Honestly, I'm from Michigan, so Detroit style pan is my jam lol! The sauce and cheese combination is one of the best I've had. Pepperoni didn't really add to it, so getting just a cheese pizza may just be worth it. Only thing missing is the caramelized cheese crust that really makes a Detroit Style Pan stand out! The 4 stars is due to the time we had to wait. Ordered online and said 30mins, so we pulled up a little after and still had to wait. Was told because it's a "pan" pizza and they would bring it out in 8-10mins. After 15mins, we went back through the drive thru (yes, drive through) and it finally came out. I think they didn't make our order and had to waste some time. It's all good - I'll be back! I would consider this the 2nd best Detroit Style Pizza right behind Jets Pizza! read more
