    Cheese pizza
    Quin G.

    My husband and I ordered our own personal slices here. He ordered the pepperoni and I the cheese pizza. They were big enough for two grown adults and we both thought that the toppings were delicious. The pizzza dough here tasted like pizza dough mixed with bread dough if that make sense. Really tasty dough, which I enjoyed. Service is very chill. Ambiance is great. Street parking available here only.

    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!

    Our Vegan Pepperoni!  (Red Sauce, Vegan Mozzarella, Plant-based Pepperoni, and Fresh Basil ($33.49)

    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!

    Half pepperoni and half cheese pizza

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    Joey Y.

    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!

The Seasonal Summer Pesto was also refreshing and delicious. The corn really made this as did the pesto. The Pepperoni square was actually our least favorite. Needed more sauce and cheese. There was SO MUCH pepperoni so get this if that's your thing. The crust and the bread on all of these pizzas was the star. That sourdough really comes through and each crust was slightly crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. Really impressive. There are a few tables inside but we sat outside as it was nice out there. Service was very fast and friendly! Street parking was easy. It's metered on one side and 2 hours free on the other.

Ambience: very comfortable, although very loud inside the dining room-background music along with many patrons conversing. But our wait staff was great. Friendly and engaging - but not over bearing. In fact, i gave this place an extra star just for the wait staff. Other than that, i would rate their entrees...as decent, but there is room for improvement to help raise the bar. Hence 3.5 stars overall Appetizers: 1) fried raviolis - not bad, filled with spinach and ricotta and arrived with marinara dipping sauce 2) fried calamari- too much coating which over powered the delicacy of the squid. Plus, it arrived cold. It came with two dipping sauces which helped. Entrees: 1) Two pies: Sicilian and soppresaata & hot honey: both pies were decent, arrived straight from the oven 2) farmers market salad: very fresh greens, tender pieces of chicken but was missing the fresh corn. 3) spaghetti w/meatballs: nice entree with a mild sauce, but meatballs tasted more filler than actual meat. And the garlic bread was cold 4) rigatoni aka vodka: very nice entree and our diner ordered it with gluten free pasta 5) spaghetti parmesano: entree looked great when it arrived- mild sauce w/al dente noodles but the chicken was over cooked and even dry with a layer of mozzarella that didn't help. And again arrived with cold garlic bread. Would i return? in a few years. but the service was good which made our evening. However i wish all the pasta entrees and calamari appetizer were as good as their pies. Again, little details with their appetizers, pasta, and salad dishes would have made our dining experience more enjoyable.
