    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!
    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!!!

    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

    Combo
    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.

    So the wifey and I are day drinking our way thru Oak Park on this particular Saturday and as we…read morewere kinda walking aimlessly after a few beers at a local brewery-we ran across this simple unassuming door with the name The Butterscotch Den written across it-it's kinda crazy because I had no idea where this bar was and for sure didn't know it was in Oak Park-I couldn't have been happier as this bar has been high on my must visit list for months. When we walked in I knew I was in the perfect spot-this bar has those low lights that all the bars in the 70s and 80s had-giving off a both romantic and mysterious vibe to it-I was in love with the place from that moment on. The music that day was awesome-I heard they have live music at times but at the time of my visit they did not-they were instead playing 90s and 2000s R&B and Hip Hop-it was wonderful-one banger after another-so yeah I was vibing. Our waitress couldn't have been cooler-she was as friendly as can be-suggesting drinks that were both on and off the menu-her and I were sharing tequila stories based on our shared affinity for the Fortaleza tequila they had in stock -which is super rare and it's how I judge every bar-whether or not they have Fortaleza tequila on hand and The Butterscotch Den had multiple bottles on hand. We ended up going with a few drinks that day. -Strawberry Negroni-($13.00)-This one blew my socks off-my favorite drink in the works is a Negroni but this bar makes a Strawberry version of it and let me tell ya-it's dynamite-10/10 rating -Old Fashioned-($12.00)-This is my go-to order at most bars because it's pretty reliable and most bars can make a decent one and I'd say they make a very solid one here-8.2/10 rating -Cucumber Gimlet with Tequila-($11.00)-This drink was made with lime-sweet vermouth and tequila-it was very refreshing and went down way too easy-rating 8.4/10 -Mezcal mystery drink-($12.00)-This was a drink the bartender made that after we declared our love for the smokiness of mezcal-I wouldn't be able to ask for it again unless I got the same waitress but if your a mezcal lover like I am-this drink was top of the line-smokiness intensity off the charts-9.1/10 rating So a little about the place that I picked up during my visit-I guess they serve food-I didn't know that but after my 2nd drink I looked back and saw this entire dining area with table side grills-so I guess the customers cook their own meats and such-pretty cool concept-my visit was strictly a drinking visit so I didn't partake but it looked pretty cool. I guess they are opened most days from 4p-12am and until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. They do not have a dedicated parking lot for this bar but they are located near 34th and Broadway-so unlimited street parking is available for those who drive here. In closing-I really really enjoyed my visit to The Butterscotch Den and I was pretty sure I had found my new favorite bar in Sacramento with a bar in the Ice Blocks but I am pretty sure that has changed and The Butterscotch Den is my new favorite bar in the greater Sacramento area-if you find yourself looking for a new spot to enjoy some adult beverages or maybe looking for a date night spot-don't hesitate to make your way over to The Butterscotch Den-the place is a true hidden gem. PS-They have a Disco Ball in their lounge area and a vintage non-working cigarette machine-the coolest I tell ya.

    Whenever I have friends visiting Sacramento I always take them here because it is a hidden treasure…read morewith really affordable prices and they can really make you any kind of drinks that you request if they have the ingredients here. . I love the Ambiance because it is history here and I do love the locations where it is in the alleyway in Old Sacramento which is really amazing. . I usually get the menu items that they recommend like a French 75 to a margarita and pina colada and Mai Tai and more. They have really great quality drinks and the price is really reasonable like for example my French 75 was only $10. . They also serve food until 2:00 a.m. in the morning where usually places stop serving around 1:30 a.m. . I really like coming here to eat and have really great drinks and visit with friends too. Some of the food that we order is their burgers which is really legit and it comes with french fries. I also got some of their loaded fries which was really yummy. Overall hope this review helps and thank you for reading and have a yelpastic day.

Michael was the bartender, and he was really kind and personable. The space itself is a large basement style area with variety of seating and pool tables with an outdoor patio area. Order directly at the bar for your food and drinks. Overall? It was perfectly average.
