    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    Not a big pizza fan but ALWAYS down if its from here. The pizza is amazing. From the sauce to the crust. Definitely a must try.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

I never really appreciated the distinct taste of NY pizza until I've had bites in Manhattan then Giovanni's until the past few years. I recommended to my out-of-town friends to spend our afternoon here at East Sac to have a few beers and pizza. The place was empty at 5 on a Thursday, so we perused the to-go menu before ordering. The cashier was nice enough to give us samples of Alaro West Coast's and Bike Dog's IPAs. We munched on the delicious half Da Bronx Bomber and half Pizza Pie while enjoying our beverages. I don't usually indulge in this cheesy Italian treat but Giovanni's gets my authentic New York style pizza craving. The crew was quick with our orders. The place was clean with a huge Big Apple collage and topical frames plastered on the wall. The arcade area and restrooms need refurbishments but I don't think that's a reason patrons come here to dine-in.

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.
