Came in specifically wanting an edge/corner slice. Got a middle piece with no crispy edge. I told them I thought Detroit-style was all edges and asked if I could swap, but they said I should have specified at first and wouldn't do it. I get that I should've said something earlier, but still frustrating service. Pizza was good, but I didn't get what I came for. Not to mention they also forgot about my order the people behind me got their order first. read more

Pizzasaurus Rex - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here for dinner with my friend after hearing so many good reviews. The place is very cute, indoor and outdoor seating. The place was packed and there was a wait when we came in the afternoon. Staff were very nice and helpful. My friend got a slice of cheese and I got their Dino slice - their rotating slice of pizza. The Dino slice I got had white sauce, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The pizza was tasty but not as delicious as I expected. We got ranch and Dino sauce (a green cilantro sauce) for dipping. Definitely recommend getting the Dino sauce with whatever slice you get. The pizza has a crisp bottom and great crunch. Not sure if my expectations weren't met because I got the Dino slice but my friend's cheese slice was "good/okay". I'll have to come back to try the pepperoni. Very fun pizza spot in a convenient area! read more

I have gone by this place so many times and it is always packed with people, so I just had to give it a try. My friend and I each got a slice of pizza. I got their cheese and she got their Dino. We also had to try the Dino sauce. The pizza was pretty good. I liked how they used ricotta in the cheese pizza slice. I also liked the Dino sauce. It was something with cilantro, which I didn't think would pair super well since it smelled so sweet but I did like it! There is limited seating inside but more seating outside. We opted to sit outside and it was really clean. We had our pizza brought to the table as well. I will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS PIZZA! The dough was to die for and I'm not a dough fan normally, I like thin crispy pizzas but this dough was like BUH-DUH! So dang delicious! We got a half combo and hair chicken with some hot honey sauce on it and the most delicious creamy sauce. The chicken was so tender and perfect! We sat outside and it was a gorgeous day and we washed everything down with some cans of Coke! Can't wait to go again and check out the pepperoni. It all looks so good! read more

A really great place for a slice! While there are many places to get pizza in Sacramento, I do feel like Pizzasaurus Rex is one of the best. They are extremely consistent and innovative with their Dino slices (rotating slice with different toppings). They have an average sized menu and the staff is always very patient and friendly. There is plenty of seating outside if the inside is full and there is seating out on the patio as well. This is a great casual place to go with friends or family. The pizza: I love a good crust. This is not your NY floppy slice. This is a solid, rectangular cut slice that can hold its own. The pepperonis are crispy and cup up and the sauce is excellent. I have also heard the cheese slice is also really good too. We ordered the chicken, bacon, ranch one and found it delicious! Definitely top 3 pizza joints in Sac. They also have awesome French fries here. And you can order them with truffle and Parmesan! Love that. read more

First time coming to this area during a Friday evening - definitely the place to socialize, grab a cold beverage, and hang out. Was greeted by a friendly smile behind the cash register when entering small restaurant. Ordered 5 slices of pizza and a salad. Sat by front window - dead flies on window sill were a little hard to stomach but we did our best to ignore. Pizzas was served by a not as smiley or happy person. Pizza had a good crust, flavor was okay, and ranch (@ .50 each) was pretty watery. Def ask for dressing on the side when you order a salad unless you like your salad soggy. read more

Everyone has to experience pizzasaurus rex pizza if they are in Midtown. It's a trendy little pizza parlor tucked away on K street. The service here is amazing and they offer group ordering or personal sized ordering.They usually have a new unique special item for the week so you can try something you never thought you'd like. I had their vegan style pizza before and was hardly able to tell the difference between vegan meat and regular meat. A must have with every pizza order is the dino sauce! It's super unique & sweet and i cant even put my finger in what the ingredients are. Trust me you'll love it My go to pizza is the potato pizza!!! read more

We went into Pizzasaurus and ordered two large combination pizzas to go, and sat down to enjoy beers while we waited. It's a small place that feels very old with just a few tables. A surprisingly good selection of beers, and I ordered their black beer. It was excellent. They also have a wine list. Despite the restaurant feeling old and run down, it was very pleasant sitting there sipping our beers. The staff was super friendly and easy going, and brought our pizzas to our table quicker than we would've liked. We took them home and they were very good. A nice crust that tasted homemade. We'll definitely go there again. read more

In the photo: half combo/half potato pizza. The crust was crispy - we enjoyed the combo pizza way more. They did not skimp on any toppings! Potato pizza was more mild in flavor but paired well with their specialty Dino sauce. The combo was well on its own but we tried it with the Dino sauce, hot honey, and ranch. This was more than enough to feed 2-3 people. The indoor seating is small and limited, but there is outdoor seating for larger parties (more than 5 people). They had a couple beer options as well, but no seltzers for the non-beer drinkers. The workers were knowledgeable in pairing pizza with beers. read more

This Dino-licious experience at Pizzasaurus Rex was quite a good time. From walking up to the restaurant to enjoying my first bite took all of about 10 minutes. The service was quick but that didn't take away from the quality of the pizza. The dough was crunchy yet soft at the same time and paired with their innovative toppings, these pizzas stand out as one of the top amongst Sacramento pizzerias. While not too spectacular in ambiance, this unassuming pizza joint feels cozy and just the right vibe. Definitely coming back read more

Pizzasaurus Rex - Combo and potato pizzas - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

I had been wanting to try this pizza spot for a while . I heard from a few of my friends that it's really good . My son and I both got a slice each I was going to get a whole pie but it was just us two . We both got full with our one slice . He got cheese and I got the pepperoni one . They offer pizza by the slice but it's just cheese, pepperoni and which ever specialty they have that day or week not really sure how often they change it . I do need to go back and try the potato pizza that looks really delicious and also the combination. My son doesn't like neither so I knew if I got the whole pie he would not want to share with me. We were both satisfied with the slice we got . The pizza was really delicious it was crispy not soggy I really enjoyed it . I was impressed that they had a beer on tap from a brewery I like which is Humble Sea and it was a hazy my favorite kinda beer . It went perfect with my pizza . The inside is small and cozy it can get packed . They do have an outside patio out front and on the side . The restroom was cleaned it did have a lot of graffiti on the door idk if it was intentional but the owner for decor or maybe people vandalizing not sure but it was pretty interesting. Overall the pizza was delicious! Would definitely be back . read more

This is a quaint little pizza place recommended to me from my Dr at Sutter nearby. The logo is adorable but their pizza is even better. We ordered half cheese half potato pizza add sausage, it was $36 and well worth it. We got it to go and it took about 20-25 minutes. It was so hard not to devour it in the car! We will definitely be back read more

To start off, this a cute hole in a wall pizza joint that truly gave off a NY aesthetic. Upon walking in you are instantly greeted by someone at the front register. I had let them know this was my first time here and if they recommended anything in particular. Surely enough, my date & I ordered 2 slices of pizza. We tried their Pepperoni pizza & Dino Pizza, along with a side of hot honey & ranch. They are 6x6 slices which is a perfect portion size in my opinion. The crust on the pepperoni was fluffy on the inside but a crunchy outer layer, meanwhile the Dino crust was a bit more flat. Aside from that in all honesty, the Dino slice stole the show. It was jam packed with flavor from the sausage, veggies and of course the hot honey drizzle gave it that extra kick. Whenever I drop back into this area, I would definitely go in for a slice. Sadly it's not my neighborhood so I will have to wait til next time! read more

Small shop that makes great pies! I've only ordered to go so I will speak to that experience alone. Price is a bit high but you are paying for the quality so I don't mind. Pies are square and menu is short and sweet, have a daily special that's always very interesting and adventurous. Potato pizza is my go to here, white sauce, cheese blend with onions and sun dried tomatoes. Very good bite, potatoes are soft and the flavors are well balanced. Vegan pizzas are also really good if your into that. Staff has always been kind and prompt with the service although I have had the occasional delay and had to wait longer than expected (when they were busy so understandable). Pro tip: get the Hot Honey and the Dino Sauce (green herb sauce taste good on anything) read more

Their logo is a T-rex holding a slice of pizza! Amazing marketing! But this place is more than marketing. Is it the best pizza in Sac? Of course not, but it's still delicious, and you can't beat the location. If it's your first time, you need to know that these are thicker squares, like Detroit-style. You also have to get the Dino Slice, aka their daily rotating slice. Whatever is on it will be preistoricly good. read more

Worth the hype??? I've been here a couple of times and have only tried their pepperoni slice and both regular/truffle fries. The whole pizzas are pretty expensive so we also opt for the slice ($7). They also do a specialty pizza slice that rotates which is cool. Lines are long but they're always fast. Workers are also suuper friendly. The pizza is very good my only complaint is that it is also very very oily. Pizza is always oily but this one always seems very extra to me. I always have to pat it down a bit with a napkin and then it's perfect. The fries are also very good! Super crunchy but soft in the middle. Definitely need to come back to try more flavors of slices but overall would recommend just don't love the excess of oil! read more

I have eaten here for years, and I have really enjoyed the pizza. Previously, I would have rated this 4 or 5 star. However, my last 3 visits have been subpar, I do order for pickup so I might have to start eating in person to avoid this, but I've had a cold pizza, a burnt pizza, and now a long hair in my pizza :/ read more

Stoped by on the way to Tahoe. Overall very good quality square pizza! Crust is like a hefty focaccia. Nice crispy edges. No burnt edges. The pepperoni had good flavor and reminded me of New York style pepperoni (but not NY style crust). The potato was a little disappointing. It was lacking flavor - just kinda tasted like cumin. Potato pieces weren't very distinct from the cheese - just felt like dry bits. The cheese clusters and sun dried tomato's saved it but they weren't in every bite. Not sure if we got an off batch though since everyone seems to recommend it. Maybe the my forgot the salt or an extra sauce for ours. Would get the pepperoni again though! Truffle fries were great too. Ambiance is like a laid back bar vibe. Order at the front desk. Self serve water and utensils. read more

Pizzasaurus Rex - 1/2 potato 1/2 pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Sacramento, California

Talk about a gourmet pizza! Pizzasaurus Rex costs a pretty penny but you're getting exactly what you pay for. It's delicious, the service is great, and they give you a ton of pizza. Our party of 6 came here at the recommendation of a local friend, and we can see why he suggested it. We had tons of leftovers between 2 pizzas. Like I said, you get exactly what you pay for- a gourmet, fresh pie made with high quality ingredients. Great service as well. The ONLY reason I'm docking a star is because the seating wasn't particularly roomy and comfortable. If you're going to eat here- consider getting it to-go as takeout. read more

We got several slices for sharing this past Sunday... pepperoni and the dino slice (marinara, 3 cheese, sausage, mushroom, red onion, pepperoncini, parmesan, parsley). Wow, these large square slices were super cheesy, the toppings were flavorful, and I loved that the little pepperonis were crisp on top. The crust was also delicious as it was infused with the oils and flavors of all the toppings and melted cheesy goodness that went all the way to the edges, and yet the pizza wasn't too oily as a whole. Even the tomato sauce was nicely seasoned, and the ranch on the side was tasty too. Sometimes, I get slices at pizzerias and they're good when reheated but you can tell it had been sitting out for a while. Well, at Pizzasaurus Rex, these slices tasted freshly made around 8pm on a Sunday, some of the best and cheesiest pizza I've had in a while, so they are definitely doing something magical in that kitchen. Service was outstanding as well. There was a line to order, but it went fast. And it took 17 minutes for our pizza to be served at our table. The staff checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed, and the tables in the restaurant were cleaned in a timely manner, keeping the environment comfortable and inviting for customers. In addition, they have indoor and outdoor seating, a clean restroom, and easy street parking out front. read more

Party of tres for another weeknight pie. Half-and-half: one half was the (daily?) DINO flavor which had sausage, mushroom & white sauce, and the other half was POTATO with white sauce, three cheese, potato, onion, garlic, sundried tomatoes, herbs, fresh parsley. Don't sleep on their housemade ranch dressing, and the cilantro-jalapeno Dino sauces. Both of the pizza flavors were great. Paired very well with a pint glass of locally produced Nitty's Cider (Gypsy Rose flavor) which was a nice Cherry Pomegranate beverage. Self-serve water to the right of the entrance (automatic door), single-stall restroom to the right of the counter. Outdoor tables if the inside fills up, but I don't think they have any heaters for the patio. read more

I've been here more than a few times and really like it as someone who's obsessed with pizza. One time me and a couple of friends got half combo and half pepperoni and the combo side was meh. Idk why when it had meat and a good variety of toppings. The pepperoni was much better than the combo for whatever reason, it's delicious and tasty. Then their potato pizza? Omg so yummy with the white sauce and sun dried tomatoes, delicious. Recently, same group of friends, we tried their rotating special which had white sauce, red onions, mushrooms, sausage, and parsley and it was delicious. We've also tried the truffle fries which were delicious. One time I came in to have a slice with another friend and the 1 slice is enough to fill 1 person up, it's a big piece. It's not the individual size of slices from their whole pizza. I'm not sure if this slice was from a pizza that was over cooked or when it was reheated it was over cooked? But it was too well done with the crust being somewhat burnt. Again, this could've just been this one instance with this pizza. Because their whole pizzas are cooked to perfection and the crust is light and delicious. Their whole pizza is an entire cookie baking sheet so between 2 people you'll have a few slices leftover. With 3 people we finish it and are very full. I prefer the whole pizza fresh since it's been much better than the individual slice. But the individual slice is more than enough for one person. I'm not a fan of ranch but, their ranch dressing is yummy. It tastes very creamy and rich like sour cream. read more

The meal itself was an absolute standout--every bite felt worth the price and then some. The slice of the day had incredible flavor, perfectly balanced and satisfying, while the Dino Bites were a fun, delicious surprise that left me wanting more. On taste alone, I'd return in a heartbeat--but probably for takeout. Unfortunately, dining in...wasnt as expected. As out-of-towners, we were excited to try this spot after a friendly local bartender recommended it. Sadly, the staff seemed disengaged and indifferent. They prioritized chatting among themselves over interacting with customers, and their rushed approach made the atmosphere feel unwelcoming. Even when we thanked them loudly on our way out, not a single acknowledgment came back. The food might be wonderful, but customer service is part of the experience--and this team could benefit from a lesson or two in hospitality. read more

I've been here once and already think about going back all the time. I love that they have single slices of pepperoni, cheese, and a Dino option which changes daily. Parking is sometimes hard since it's in the middle of midtown/downtown. But it's worth it! read more

could use more seating especially for busy times, but i appreciate both the indoor and outdoor options! the potato pizza is fire and perfect for splitting and leftovers, and reasonably priced. will be coming back! read more

If ever I'm craving a speciality pizza downtown this is definitely my go-to spot. It hits so good every time! Inside is fairly small & can get crowded quickly, so I would suggest calling in your order & grabbing to go. Sometimes, I'll pop in & grab a quick cider/beer while waiting for my to go order. There's always a good selection of beer on tap. Staff are very friendly. Regardless of which pizza you order, you must grab dino sauce - it's sooo good! 10/10 - Potato Pizza: this is a pizza that everyone needs to have at least once in their lifetime; potato, sun dried tomatoes, & ricotta cheese paired so well together & dipping it in dino sauce takes it to the next level. 10/10 - Pepperoni Pizza: they use pepperoni cups so they get crispy on the edges & they do not skimp on making sure there's pepperoni in every bite; ranch is a must have for this. read more

What first grabbed my attention about Pizzasaurus Rex (besides the name, obviously) was their super cute pizza boxes with a little dinosaur on them -- so fun and creative! (Sadly I do not have a picture) I've ordered takeout from here a few times and also dined in, and I definitely prefer eating in. The pizza is 10/10 fresh out of the oven -- hot, crispy, flavorful, and just perfect. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't reheat quite the same. It's still good leftover, just not as amazing as when it's fresh. They also offer a variety of beers, and you can sit outside to enjoy your pizza, which is a nice touch. The staff is always super friendly, and the service has been fast every time I've gone. I've never experienced a crazy wait or large crowd, so either they're well-managed or I've just gotten lucky! The inside is pretty small -- you enter, and there's a compact dining space -- but I'm not even sure if there's full indoor seating since I've only sat outside. I'll have to check it out more next time, but honestly, it's always a solid experience. Anytime I'm in the area, this is my go-to pizza spot. Definitely worth trying if you're nearby! read more

This is such a great spot. I've been here multiple times for either their Dino slice or their whole pizza. Potato pizza 10/10. It was the right amount of toppings and the pizza had perfect amount of crust. I did get the truffle fries 9/10 but it was unfortunate that they gave us all the end pieces. 4.5/5 this time. Staff are very friendly. Order at the counter. There are only a few seats inside so you may need to sit outside. read more

I really wanted to leave a great review for this place because I've heard such good things about it. Unfortunately, on a Friday night we placed an order at 7pm and didn't receive our food for OVER an hour. We had a group of 9 people, and the place seemed a little busy but nothing that was crazy. I fully understand waiting a solid 30-40 mins for our pizzas since we had a larger group, but over an hour is insane. We got 2/4 of our pizzas at 8:15pm (1hr 15 min after ordering). And the last 2 pizzas didn't arrive until 8:40pm. I would hesitate to come back for dinner with a group. read more

The food was very delicious. When ordering a homeless walked in and stole a slice from someone's table. This was a tad off putting but it did not affect the taste of the food LOL and plus it's a rainy day in sac so I'd expect nothing less. Small dining space so I will definitely order to go next time but I will forsure be back. Also if I had to choose I'd say the potato pizza was better than the pepperoni and all three sauces were very good:) read more

One of the best pies in town! If you need to satisfy a pizza craving, this one should do the job! They sell pizza by the slice ($6.25) or whole pizzas (under $40 and serves 2-4 people or one dinosaur appetite). These are "Detroit-style" pizzas, so they are rectangular, not round. They are loaded with toppings and have a good cheese/sauce/crust ratio.That crust is so good! But what's even better is the "dino sauce," a jalapeno cilantro mix (think chimichurri) to top your pizza or dip your fries in. It's addicting. The ranch was too watery but had good flavor. There's also a hot honey sauce that I didn't try. Menu is small and basic, with a couple salads and fries. They have a "dino of the day" pizza that always sounds interesting. You can customize (sub or remove) toppings for any pizza. Beer selection is solid and sodas are in a can. Pizzasaurus Rex might make traditional round pizzas a thing in the past for you once you've had theirs! read more

After many great experiences dining in, our first take out experience was... disappointing. Pizza was super soggy and wet wet. Don't know if they used pineapple juice (instead pineapples), but only the corners resembled the usual goodness. The fries were soggy, too. read more

I usually get the pepperoni pizza with all the sauce options. The ranch is nice and creamy. Hot honey is just flakes and honey mixed in. Dino sauce is a sweet and savory sauce that reminds me of green chutney with a bit of a twist. Really solid choice to go with the pizza. It's a bit pricey but I like that the pizza comes in a tray and is pretty large. Can easily feed 4. We got the Dino eggs on our last visit and I enjoyed them when they were hot a fresh. Nice crispy crunch with garlicky flavors. Service is solid, a lot of self help options like water and to go boxes. Ambiance is nice and laid back. Decent outdoor seating in midtown, great location. I come back here often so I would recommend. read more

Really great experience here! The staff was friendly and answered questions since it was my first time. The service was also quick and we got our pizza soon after ordering. We did half combo and half potato and it was really great. The dough was thick and crunchy and the potato pizza was a creative take on toppings I've never tried before. The spot is a little tight on seating inside but there is plenty of patio furniture outside. Will definitely be making this my regular pizza spot in the future! read more
