TLDR: get the Big Italian salad, the pepperoni pizza, and a side of ranch for a sublime dinner experience! They also have a killer burger if that's more your...speed :) We love OneSpeed but don't visit super often, so it was a natural pick for our Valentines Day dinner! We arrived at 6:30pm and were totally ready to wait for a table as they don't do reservations, but we were greeted warmly and seated right away at a table where we could watch the action in the kitchen (one of our favorite things to do at a restaurant). No matter what else we are ordering, we ALWAYS have to get a Big Italian salad. I have had actual dreams about this salad. It's just the best salad, and this time was no different. I also had the boquerones appetizer which was different and delicious. We did a half and half pizza with 2 pizzas that were new to us: the pepperoni and the Italian sausage. Side of ranch is non-negotiable, their ranch is unique and delicious and makes everything better! Both were absolutely terrific but the pepperoni was the real standout for us. It hit all the right notes and was perfection. We left with leftovers for the next day and full happy stomachs. We'll be back soon to try the Garden pizza on our server's recommendation! read more

I made my return to OneSpeed and had a better experience this time. Last time, I skipped the pizza and just went with the pasta, which is not exactly the strength of this restaurant. This time around, I just went with the pizza. I was able to get seated right away when I dropped by on an early Sunday evening around 5p or so. Our server was very kind and professional. Though, it felt like it took a while for our pizza to get to us, I didn't mind the wait. I'm sure if I would've ordered an appetizer, it would've hit the table sooner. - Italian Sausage Pizza (Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Ricotta, Red Onions, Pepperoncini, Italian Oregano): This one was the better of the two pizzas. The pepperoncini gave this a nice zing to balance the saltiness of the sausage. pretty good pizza. - Pepperoni Pizza (Sautéed Mushrooms, Three Cheeses, Tomato Sauce, Garlic Oil): a pretty good pepperoni. not much else to say. I guess I didn't really taste the garlic oil, and there was a bit of an unpleasant grease puddle at the bottom of the pizza pan from the pepperoni. in general, the pizzas were good but not great. The crust was a little crunchier/hard than I would've liked. I prefer the crust on Obo's pizza down the road. I heard they're closing down this location when the lease is up around January 2027; though, I believe they plan on reopening elsewhere. read more

Great neighborhood spot. One Speed is a solid Sacramento staple. I drove by for years before trying it, but after my second visit, I realized I was missing out. On my second visit, the ngochi was light and flavorful, and the kale Caesar salad with avocado was different in the best way. If you like neighborhood haunts that make the area unique, you need to try this place. read more

A reliable and delicious favorite, One Speed always delivers a high quality food experience. This place is always busy, loud, bright, and fun. We enjoyed a Big Italian Salad (lots of large chicken chunks) and the pepperoni pizza (without ricotta) and some of their high quality house red wine. Split the pizza and the salad, which was plenty of food for two guys. Service was fast, after a 15 minute wait for a table. I'm always astonished at how delicious the food here is...and always prepared with a variety of fresh, local, ingredients and flavors. read more

Rick Mahan, Chef and Owner of Sacramento's renowned Waterboy Restaurant fame, has created another culinary hot spot in the charming east Sacramento neighborhood. And the food and fun environment are show stoppers. OneSpeed has become the darling of Sacramento diners. Why not? Famed chef known for seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients always resulting in fresh, clean, and quality gourmet food. Everyone wants some of that. I know I do. When I am meeting friends in Sac Town, this is always numero uno choice. For them and for me. I will show up at OneSpeed every chance I get. While we usually snag a table... the bar is really nice too. A half circle tucked away in the back of the restaurant fits perfectly in the cozy space. It fills up fast. People are enjoying their libations and it is always lively. The seating in the large, one room restaurant is just as "happening". One Speed is typically filled to capacity by 6 p.m., so get there early or plan on a wait. This is a diverse group of diners. Families, friends, couples... the whole gamut. They are all here for one reason... exceptional food, great wine and beer, and elevated customer service at a pretty appreciated reasonable price given the food quality. Yes, I might classify OneSpeed as trendy and hipster but in a very good "casual" way. Great people watching... discretely...too! If you don't live in the neighborhood, you best plan on a little walk on certain nights because there are only a few parking spots in the back of the restaurant. Otherwise street or neighborhood parking is where you end up. Oh... of course bike parking! Brick oven pizza (known as the best in town), pasta, salads, soups, nightly specials, desserts... all absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. You simply cannot go wrong at this jewel of a neighborhood eatery. Ever! Outside front patio is nice... weather permitting. I must have a boatload of photos from all my visits! Great job, Rick! read more

Came by on Tuesday night around 6pm and it was a full house! There was a wait time and we were told about 30 minutes for a party of 3. We ordered the herb fries and three pizzas: Rick's, BBQ chicken and pepperoni mushroom. Everything tasted good and definitely enough to take home some leftovers. The olives on Rick's pizza were a really strong taste I'm not used to so that wasn't a favorite for me but we were told it's a popular one. You can definitely tell things are made to order and fresh with quality ingredients. I didn't like that the tables were so close to each other and we were close to other parties dining, but I understand they're trying to maximize their space. Not much parking here since it's mostly street parking but we parked in a nearby residential area. read more

Always wanted to try this place and finally got the chance. Stopped by about an hour before closing and were seated right away. Started with the Italian salad - wish they chopped the lettuce slightly smaller since I had a couple of bites that were just lettuce without any of the other delicious ingredients. Overall, it was delicious and loved the grilled chicken, chunks of cheese, salami, and olives. The balance is a little off though with the lettuce :/ Ordered 1/2 Rick's and half New Jersey tomato pie- skip the Rick's unless you're a huge fan of potato soup and definitely get the New Jersey tomato pie! The crust on both pizzas was incredible! Thin, crunchy, tasty- I would buy these as bread sticks if they were offered We also got the meat calzone. Great presentation- comes out puffy and they cut it for you table side. Nice dish for a date night :) the calzone was packed with ingredients and was also one of our favorites. We're definitely planning to go back. The pizza was excellent read more

Amazing place and amazing food. We got the mushroom pizza and switched out the mushroom type to the long ones because they are placed after in season overall it was the best thing we've had, especially with the garlic oil on the pizza. We also ordered the salad, beet potato, and smoked trout salad. So many different flavors, but it came together so well. While this is a prettiest simple interior restaurant, it feels Homie with the open kitchen view and the multiple windows. This was our first time and we hope to come back again. read more

One of my favorite Sacramento spots. Seasonal menu and menu staples as well. Date night, grab a special to go or just go because we have not been. I love the seasonal items, the carnivore calzone, the salads and often the appetizers. read more

Dined at One Speed for the first time for my mom's birthday. Had heard goods things from several people, so I had this place on my list for a while. And was glad to have been able to finally make it in an check itnout for myself. We arrived at 1pm on a Saturday and we're quickly seated. The established had an a variety of people dining in at the time, and we were sat a a table right near the large windows, facing the the outside and patio area. We looked over the menus for a little bit, and we're able to sample a wine and a beer that was on the menu before actually ordering. Once that moment arrived we ordered the following: Appetizers: Marinated Olives Spinach Salad Main courses: Gnocchi BBQ Chicken Pizza (x2) Calzone Dessert: Old fashioned soda float Sticky Toffee Pudding Chocolate mousse Affogato Drinks: White wine (before meals) Espresso (with dessert) One of the things I liked about One Speed is the overall look and feel of the restaurant. One Speed has an open kitchen area, when you can see the cooks happily at work. And where you can also see a large brick oven, for off of the fresh pizzas and Calzone type meals. The calzone came fresh out of the fire, and to our table an a nice wooden cutting board. Where our waiter sliced it up right in front of us; wait a nice touch! The calzone was HUGE and full of Meats and cheese, and easily something that would need to have boxed up and have some left overs for. The Gnocchi was beautifully plated and was just as delicious. The BBQ Chicken Pizza was nice and nice, with a crust that had the perfect crispy crunch when bitten into. And was adorned with nice chunks of grilled chicken breast, cilantro and a light amount of BBQ sauce. The desserts were great as well. I personally ordered the Affogato which I think is always a great cap on a great meal. Espresso and vanilla gelato; you can't go wrong with that. The Sticky Toffee Pudding my girlfriend ordered to share, and that was so delicious as well. I was pleasantly surprised, but not at the same time. Because the variety of amazingly looking foods & desserts, is what made me want to check out One Speed in the first place. Overall: One Speed definitely lived up to the talk. The food and service were great, and I will definitely be back again with friends and family. read more

We revisited after many years. We live so close and don't go out as much so it's been awhile. Now we know we need to keep coming back. It was a little warm inside so next time may enjoy the patio next time. The service was great and they were very attentive. We ordered a salad and pizza. Then some drinks and dessert. I forgot how good the pizza was!!! I am already waiting for when we go back. The wine was perfect for what I ordered and I really enjoyed it. Thanks One Speed! read more

Very solid pizza spot. The crust is thick and crispy, just how I like it. And they don't scimp out on the toppings, our pizza was loaded. Just fyi, If you ask for ranch, it's an extra 1$. There is a lot of seating inside, as well as a patio outside. I've passed on the weekends and it's packed with people. I think next time I'd definitely do a takeout order. read more

The restaurant was not disappointing, atmosphere was friendly and inviting. We had two pizzas and a shareable salad.

OneSpeed is such a delightful neighborhood spot -- with great food, a great vibe and great service! A friend and I were looking for some tasty nibbles in a comfy spot, and OneSpeed fit the bill! We each had a Spritz and split the amazing Beet, Potato and Smoked Trout salad and a pizza (half Garden and half Pepperoni -- I love that you can get two pizzas in one round like that!). It was a solid A+ experience! read more

The pizza was amazing! I'd not been there before and tried it out. They are a little pricey, but well worth it. There was lag time trying to get my salad, they brought the wrong one and it took longer than I anticipated, my hangry was bent out of shape. It's quite loud there so be prepared to text your friend who's sitting right across from you or be silent the whole meal. read more

We ordered delivery and it was delicious. Pro tip: order it crispy and by the time it gets to you, it'll be "normal crisp." Group of 6 of us, ordered 4 pies, focaccia with red hummus, and a salad. We had a whole pizza left. Items ranked based on my taste: - Pepperoni and mushroom - Mushroom - Margarita - Focaccia (a bit oily) - Margarita GF crust - Panzanella salad (tomato, peaches, basil - super fresh) Crust was thin, crispy, tasty. I want this pizza every time I come to Sac. No photos, ate too fast. read more

Holy cow, how have I not tried this place for so long! I always drive by on my way to Trader Joe's and see how full it is. And now I know why! I got the Rick's pizza with vegan cheese substitute and olives subbed with artichoke. Oh my god. The dough was chewy, pillowy and perfect; AND it wasn't burnt (I find that a lot of places burn the bottom and you can taste the burn too). They were generous with the vegan cheese too. The potatoes and bacon on top were crispy as well. I could not get enough. The pizza is definitely worth the price too. I could not finish the whole pizza in one sitting - you will definitely have enough for leftovers! I love that they have a vegan cheese sub, perfect for my lactose intolerant peeps! read more

Dropped in on a Saturday with 6 people and we were seated immediately. First time trying a Shacksbury dry apple cider, so refreshingly good, especially on a hot day. Our table ordered 2 pizzas, a salad, and a side of Herbed Fries with Aioli. The mushroom pizza was good, had a little kick from the pepperoncini. The Italian Sausage pizza was really good, unfortunately, we didn't order it with the red onions because of one person from our group, boo. I'm sure it tastes even better with the red onions on it! The Herbed Fries were tasty! The salad was good, great for sharing. Will definitely revisit. Great service too!! Well done OneSpeed! Try this place if you're in the East Sac neighborhood. read more

The food was amazing! I had the Brussels sprouts and the tortelloni with pea sprouts. It was a special so might not be there anymore. Delicious flavor for both items!

Came here with a friend to try it for the 1st time since we both love pizza. The herbed fries appetizer wasn't anything to write home about. I expected more of an herb or garlic maybe type of flavor? They tasted like fries and not really herbed or seasoned. But, now the pizza....was delicious. The pizzas I'd say are a smaller medium size or maybe a small depending on where you get pizza? It's plenty for one person, and good for 2 hungry people who also had an appetizer beforehand. At least for me that's the case since I love pizza and always have more than 2-3 slices. Lol The pizza had a great fresh flavor that you get from a fire brick oven. It's simple ingredients wise but delicious. The ingredients are great too like the olives on the Rick's pizza were good and not just the regular canned black olive halves that are on most pizzas. The olives on the Rick's pizza didn't overpower the pizza like the common black olives do. The arugula wasn't overpowering either, Rick's was good. The other side of our pizza was New Jersey tomato pie and it was yummy. The New Jersey side was my favorite, although both sides were great. The crust wasn't too dry either and good to eat on it's own. The service here was excellent too. Our waitress was very personable, attentive, and timely. read more

First time I visited wasn't a great experience solely based on service, but this last time was superb. From the ambiance, location, pricing, and food quality, no disappointments. About the food: my party and I first had the Fried Brussels Sprouts (with Parmesan, Lemon & Aioli) - excellent starter. Our main was the New Jersey Tomato Pie (Sopressata Salami, Herbed Mozzarella, Parmesan, Crushed Tomatoes, Basil, and Garlic Oil) - this was on a gluten-free crust. The pizza was cooked perfectly, had a great flavor balance and cheese pull, and the crust was GREAT. This says a lot given the general difficulty in finding gf alternatives that don't fall short. Will definitely be back. read more

​Overall, my experience at One Speed was great. This was my third or fourth time visiting, which I felt gave me the experience needed to write a proper review. ​For this meal, we ordered a side of olives, a side of fries with aioli, and of course, a pizza. I chose the "Rick's Pizza." I wasn't the biggest fan of this one, as the combination of the olives and goat cheese made it a bit too tangy or tart for my taste. However, I did really like the crispy potatoes on it. The french fries were very good and had a nice salty flavor, which I consider a plus, and the side of aioli was great for dipping. ​I'd rate their pizzas overall about an 8.5 out of 10. While I didn't love the pizza I ordered this time, the crust was excellent, and I've had their other pizzas before which were delicious. So, although I might not recommend the Rick's Pizza specifically, I do think their menu is very high quality. I also can't end the review without shouting out the staff. I always have a great time when I'm there and the people are always really nice. top tier ambiance read more

Someone else on here said the pizza was okay. I think that's fair. It smelled incredible when I picked it up, but didn't translate as strongly when I actually tasted it. Still decent though. The reason I'm bumping it up to four stars was the impression the staff left, even during a brief pick-up order. I was greeted warmly when I came in, and needed to go to the restroom. The guy up front showed me where it was, and when I was leaving after I picked up my food, made a point to come back up front to say thank you. I'll be sure to dine in next time! read more

One Speed Pizza is a pizza restaurant located in the East Sac neighborhood. On my visit, I shared a few pizzas and appetizers with friends. One of my friends had a dietary restriction (gluten free) and the restaurant was able to accommodate that! Some of the standouts from their pizzas include the Mushroom and Rick's Pizza. The mushroom pizza had a medley of shrooms for an earthy and savory bite. I would recommend the Rick's pizza for anyone looking for a hearty breakfast burrito inspired pizza!

It was packed when we got in, and I was excited to try this place after hearing good things about it. This place was ok, and Yelp says that's 3 stars, so I'll leave it at that. The pizza was alright, but I've had better pizza in other places. Heck I've had much much better pizza that surpasses the pizza here in a small town in the Philippines. The pasta was just ok too, and for the price you pay, it all leads to an OK experience. The fried appetizer we got was ok. I got tired of it after the third or fourth bite. It was greasy and got chewy quick. It wasn't bad, but it didn't knock my socks off either. So it was OK, a word I used too much in this review lol. read more

I love this spot! Really great crust on their pizza and the salads are scrumptious! One of my go-to spots in East Sacramento!

I was disappointed with pizza in Sacramento at first. OneSpeed absolutely debased that argument. From the crust to the cheese to the toppings, OneSpeed is leagues above Hop Garden, Paesano's, Anonimo, OBO, or Roma. Solimar might come close in ingredients, but the light airy pizza that was delivered fresh to our table tonight was one of the best pizzas of my life, let alone the best in Sacramento. read more
