    Pepperoni and dino slice
    Shannon C.

    Pizzasaurus Rec is a small cozy spot that gets a lot of foot traffic. Service is good and our slices came out quick. I like that you can order by the slice or a whole pizza. My partner and I ordered the dino slice which was a chicken, artichoke, spinach, olive pizza was well as a pepperoni to share. My partner loved the dino slice and I'm more of a plain pizza girl so I preferred the pepperoni. I would like to try the potato pizza one day. Hoping it's offered as a dino slice when we go next!

    One of my favorite pizza places in sac! Came by on a Sunday night, waited in line about 15 minutes. Portion size is pretty big! And lots of seating inside and outside!

    Half pepperoni and half cheese pizza
    Ed Y.

    This place is still my favorite pizza place in the city. Just great pizza that you can get whole or by the slice. I usually get a half-pepperoni and half cheese pizza. The cheese pizza here is great; it's topped with dollops of ricotta and ribbons of fresh basil. They have a daily special: the Dino slice, which I'll often get as well. Sometimes the toppings are fun (e.g. pickles) and other times more run-of-the-mill (e.g. salami, bell peppers, etc) but I've never been disappointed even when I thought the flavors would be odd. They used to be pretty good about posting on Instagram what was on the Dino slice was, but I don't see it quite as often these days. If you're into saucing up your pizza, you can get ranch or hot honey or Dino sauce. It's been a while since I had the Dino sauce, but I recall it being tangy and cilantro-y with a bit of a spice kick. It sounds a bit different/odd, but I like getting it from time to time. The Dino eggs, from my recollection, are basically pizza dough balls. Mostly bread, which is fine since their bread/pizza crust is great, but I'd rather just stick to the pizza, so I only tried these once. The fries are good. Though, I probably wouldn't order them alongside the pizza unless you're looking for a carb bomb of a meal (which is what I had done the one time I ordered them). They're probably best if you're just looking for a snack to go with your beer & aren't planning on eating a whole bunch of pizza. They're quite good though. Nice and crispy. And it's a pretty big serving size. They have a dozen or so taps of various beers. Some local, some not. And they have a selection of cans and bottles as well. There isn't a ton of inside seating. A half dozen or so tables? And a few bar seats. There's probably more total seats in front and in the outside side patio. There's only street parking & there's lots of small shops nearby, so you might have to take a short walk from your car to get there.

    Number One Spot For Vegan Pizza! 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!

    My wife decided to try this place for dinner. The location used to be the old Rick's diner. We found street parking around the block. Two hour parking no meter. 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.

    Super cool pizza spot! So first off the name alone was what sold us! The restaurant is pretty small but gives a cool cozy feel to it. The staff were super nice and helpful! And super welcoming. They serve alcohol here so perfect spot for a drink and a slice! The pizza was so good! They offer a lot of different kinds of pizza but we went with a pepperoni pizza. Super good and tasty! The pizza is a little more on the oily side but i suspect it's from the amount of pepperoni, which I'm not complaining about I love a good pepperoni pizza! Especially when they don't shy away from the pepperoni. Also ordered some truffle fry's and I'm personally not a fan of but if you're a fan of truffle that will be right up your alley! I will say the fry's were not soggy at all and had a great crisp to them and stayed having that crisp so that was really nice. All in all will be back here for some more pizza and to try some other stuff on their menu! Great spot, great people and great food Would highly recommend!

    Half combo half potato

    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!

    Pepperoni Pizza Slice
    Arturo B.

    Pizzasaurus Rex is one of my favorite pizza spots in Sacramento! In addition to their friendly staff, I love the decor that uses Pac-Man machines as tables. I like the merch for purchase and ciders they have on tap. My partner and I always get 1 slice of pizza each and a Cesar salad to share and both get full, so the portions are good! We end up only spending about $25 for those 3 items or about $40 total if we add two of their yummy ciders.

    Bar area and bar seating

    This is an interesting restaurant to hangout and pizza. The interior is small yet cozy due to the friendly and helpful staff. Upon entering, you place your order with the friendliest bartender. She'll not only help you with the pizza menu, she's also ready to pour you a beverage. The pizzas are made to order, served at your table all ready to devour. The pizzas are rectangular offering a snappy crust and flavorful (limited pizza by-the-slice available). This is a nice neighborhood restaurant but be prepared to wait for seating. Do so as you enjoy the bar. Although the entire experience was pleasant, I think the menu is on the pricier side. We arrived just before the hungry crowd to find a table for 6. I suspect the wait can be lengthy.

    Truffle fries
    Chelly C.

    Stopped by while I was in the area after seeing all the great reviews and ordered the Dino Slice and truffle fries. Unfortunately, it was just okay for me. The pizza was too doughy and lacked flavor, and the truffle fries tasted pretty plain, I was hoping for a stronger truffle flavor. Glad I tried it, but it wasn't a spot I'd go out of my way to visit again.

    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.

    Grabbed it to go and went to Biergarten!
    Joyce L.

    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!!!

    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!

One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!

Most recently, I tried the Pimms Rangoon (Gin, Ro Pimm's, fresh lemon, ginger, pineapple, fizzy water) and a wine that I can't recall. The cheeze whiz (house made whipped manchego and parm on crostini) is a must-have. The bread is wonderful as well as the cheese and olive.
