Federal Pizza

I love Federal Pizza!!! We always order the Flaming Lips pizza and it never disappoints. Delicious starters like the garlic bread and mozzarella sticks. The lamb pasta is amazing. You really can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. Service is always great and attentive. And I love the ambiance of the restaurant. Restaurant has parking available, wheelchair accessibility, and restrooms as well.

I'm going to have to color outside of the lines for this review, as it opposes some of my other reviews. With Federal Pizza focusing their menu around pizza, a 5 star rating should only apply to the pizza. I'm assuming the reason Federal Pizza doesn't sell pizza by the slice, or any other sizes, is because they want to be able to operate like MOD or Little Ceasar's with a template pizza size, but then include actual quality ingredients that make the $18 price tag worth it. Normally the size of the pizza vs the cost would have immediately dropped their rating to a 4, but with the flavors and quality, it has reached a 5 star rating for me, but just barely. Eating the first slice earned 4 stars for me. There is almost no sauce, and the crust to topping ratio was off. The crust was slightly denser than what one would expect, but not overly so. The closest comparison I can make to this pizza is Floridino's over in Chandler. The second slice allowed my taste buds to recognize a subtle under-tone of white wine in the sauce, similar to the authentic Rosati's pizza in the north side of Phoenix/Peoria. Because of how subtle the sauce flavor is, I can understand why the pizza lacked much flavor, and relied mostly on the crust and toppings for flavor. In order to appreciate the sauce, you would likely need to order a regular cheese pizza. I also tried the cheesy garlic bread, and it was definitely the best version I've ever had. The marinara sauce was also spiced with red pepper flakes, so it added another layer of flavor to the already great garlic bread. I will likely be returning, mostly because I believe Federal Pizza's menu has more to offer than the two items I tried.

Such a great spot! The pizza was delicious and the servers were super friendly, which made the whole experience even better. It just felt really comfortable and welcoming definitely a place I’d come back to when I’m craving good pizza.

hands down the best pizza ive had I loved the flamin lips pizza! perfect on all fronts sauce cheese and meat were quality and clean. kitchen staff keep a phenomenal job at cleanliness the staff were friendly attentive and intuitive! also got the fried cheese appetizer thing and it was great not my favorite thing but quality ingredients and the bombing donut deserts were great not as great as the pizza but its great and all was super cheap!! stuffed two big boys with drinks a whole pizza an appetizer and dessert with leftovers!! very very pleased will return

Wow! The food here is insane. The wings are TOP TIER and the pizza and salads were delicious. We got the flaming lips pizza, hot honey wings and the chop salad and it was AMAZING! Tyler was our server and he was so awesome. 100/10 service and 100/10 food! Will definitely be back!!

First of all this is hands down my favorite pizza place in Az. And that’s specifically talking about the taste/quality/crust/sauce.. it is absolutely unreal. I used to live down here so came all the time. Now I live about 40 miles away. Now on My recent experience 15 minutes ago. Me and my son took the cruise down here, the ambiance is cool.. the service is great from everyone but this review is mostly about the GM Taylor. I have never met him before but This man is a conductor to an orchestra for better terms. His leadership seemed to shine through every smile of his staff and as a guest he made me feel truly valued. Without a doubt he elevated my experience and made a lunch with my son a memorable moment and taught me a lesson that acts of service at a high level can make an impact no matter in a restaurant but anywhere. I hope whoever is your top brass is they have a clear understanding of what a gem they have in Taylor! Ps. Not sure the last time I left a review anywhere! Thanks Federals - PS get the flaming lips pizza a little well done with the wedge salad - absolute fire!

Federal Pizza is one of the best late-night pizza spots in Phoenix, serving up delicious wood-fired pies with a perfectly crispy, chewy crust. Their creative topping combinations, like the popular Big Star supreme, make each slice bold and satisfying. Housed in a restored 1950s bank, the space has a cool mid-century modern vibe that adds to the experience. Open late, especially on weekends, it's a great place to grab a bite after a night out. With friendly service, tasty craft drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s a go-to for pizza lovers after dark.

I was craving a different kind of pizza than my usual spots and Federal Pizza really hit the spot for me! I split the pepperoni pizza with my husband. I usually only eat two slices when having pizza but it was so good I ate all four of my slices! I highly recommend this Federal Pizza! It tasted so clean and fresh! I look forward to trying more menu items.

Insanely delicious!!! Pizza- amazing. Arancini- amazing. Windsor Gold wings- incredible. Our server Jonathan- STAR OF THE SHOW! We drove 5 hours from California for a concert, stopped here to eat and have drinks and we're absolutely blown away by the food and service. Come to California! Please!

We have different plates today: Vegetable board & Spaguetti and Meatballs. Four peaks kilt lifter beer

Happy hour is the time to go for sure! The peach cobbler wine cooler was incredible, as well as the pizza!! Nubia had amazing and attentive service! We enjoyed sitting outside, even in the Phoenix heat!

This place is becoming one of my favorite pizza places to eat. They have wood fire and Detroit style pizzas that I have tried so far. Plus some great appetizers you can mix and match for a tasty meal. I recently had the pineapple express pizza which is definitely my favorite so far. The crust is crispy it doesn't distract from the toppings. I love pineapple and ham. This one has a little kick to it too which makes it stand out for me. The Detroit style pizza was also good. The crust was crispy on the outside but still soft inside. I'd say maybe a little more cheese was needed. But overall very tasty. I'd get it again if I'm in the mood for a thicker pizza. I also saw a couple specials that I plan to take advantage of. $15 lunch special half pizza and salad. Or Mondays and Tuesdays after eight a pizza and a bottle of wine or a growler of beer for $30. Service is a lot like the other ones in this restaurant group where everyone helps each other so it keeps things moving and everyone seems very friendly. I definitely recommend this for a casual night out.

We were wanting some good pizza to go and finally decided to give Federal Pizza a try. I LOVE they have a drive thru. We called in our order and employees were super friendly. We got a mushroom pizza and it was ready on time. Let me tell you, this was the best pizza we've had in a long time. The crust was perfect, the sauce was great, perfect amount of cheese and mushrooms were quality. Everything was quality flavor and we loved it. Definitely would be a regular if it was closer to home. Cannot wait to grab another pizza and try more of their items!

My girlfriend and I come here 2-3 times a month and love it! The service is always top notch. All of the staff are super nice and welcoming. Always. My favorite is when we can bring our dog and sit on the patio - but right now it's just too hot in Phoenix so we sat inside. The beer was great! We got a pitcher of the golden lager and it was light and refreshing. We also had the chicken wings which I recommend (pro-tip they will give you all flats if you want). The Detroit cheese pizza was amazing as always amazing! Also - their ranch is great!

My favorite restaurant in all of AZ. Highly recommend the supremium pan pizza, golden wings, and federal chop salad! Awesome staff and ambiance!

Sub par pizza. Awesome customer service and atmosphere Not really Chicago style. But its ok

Great pizza! Ordered the Big Star pizza, which had red sauce, the good pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onions, olives, cheese, and a perfect crust. All of the toppings were good and they asked if we wanted freshly grated parmesan on top. The Mickey White pasta was okay, felt like it was missing something and also needed more salt. We made reservations for 6:30p on a Monday and they were able to seat us 20 min early (otherwise would've been an hour and a half before we got a table).

What's great is that the service was phenomenal, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is simply magnificent. Pizza "At Last" has become a long-time favorite of mine, and I truly haven't had a single bad dish on their menu. It's a pleasant place to satisfy your hunger.

One of the best pizzas I've had!!! The service was great, our server was very friendly and was on top of refilling our drinks and getting our food out to us herself. It's a small pizza restaurant, with outdoor seating! Definitely worth the wait!

Ate here with my boyfriend for his birthday and our server was Dan! He was so incredibly attentive and gave great suggestions on how we could maximize the amount of food we tried on the menu. It was our first time trying the caesar salad and chicken wings as well and both were equally delicious. I didn't know we could split up the wing sauces or combo a pizza half/half at no extra charge. I really appreciated Dan's recommendations :) He also gave us a banana pudding on the house and it was so incredibly delectable. I would come back just for the pudding! Please check out @leafynoms on instagram for more reviews!

Good food, great service, good drinks just wish they still had the blood orange cooler and cocktails were on happy hour specials

Federal never misses! From the pizza to the pasta, it's so good and consistent. I will say the portions are kinda small but filling nonetheless. I haven't sat inside only ordered takeout/doordash, but it stays packed all while it's open. My favorite is the lamb bolognese

Excellent service! Dan was our waiter and he was very, very attentive! 10 stars!! I ordered a personal pineapple and pepperoni pizza. They offered hand shredded Parmesan cheese on our pizza! Definitely recommend!!!

I'm from Detroit so when I see a Detroit style pizza on the menu in Arizona I'm always suspicious. They got the crust and the flavor of the sauce right! Those are truly the most challenging to duplicate and they were spot on! The toppings were fresh and delicious. Chasing it with a super cold beer was the cherry on top! Enjoy!

$30 for a pizza and a bottle of wine! How could you go wrong? This was the first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. We ordered the flaming lips pizza and it was delicious. Wine was also great and ended it with the Nutella tiramisu wow!! Everything was so delicious. Service was great. Ambiance was relaxed, good for dates or hanging with friends. 10/10 recommend

Special salad. The Super: pizza. The wine Pinot. 3O$ for a full pizza and a bottle of wine. Taylor, managing, I could see all over the building. Kicking ass. So very friendly and welcoming. Our server Autumn did not disappoint. Very present and gave great advice. She was honest. (Great outfit). Which leads me to how authentic the people working are able to be themselves. Thank you for a wonderful evening. C.

Great place! I made reservations for 10 people and they were thankfully able to accommodate! Service was great and all of our food came out pretty quickly despite having a pretty large order. We were off on a little corner so didn't really get a lot of the ambiance but overall it was great.

Great pizza. Worth the wait for delivery. It was clean, it was hot, it was flavorful, and would recommend for other people to get pizza delivered from Federal pizza

Pepperoni pizza and caesar salad lunch special for $15 is a great deal. The pizza was delicious. Some of the better pizza around. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant is clean and well set up. I will be back for sure.

Great pizzas, amazing pizza and a bottle of wine for $30 offer on Mondays and Tuesdays! Cozy ambiance with a drive through for pizza's who would have thought. Must try this super fast service pizza spot

Enjoyed the pizza here and the beer selection. Loved the Wren House guava beer, and the sweet potato pizza the best! Service was nice. We were able to find parking and a table as a walk-in on a Sunday.

This place was amazing! We walked in on a Saturday night with 5 of us and were seated right away. The server was super helpful in telling us all about the specials and popular pizzas. We had never been and wanted to try several pizzas so we got three but did half one kind and half another on each so got to try out several of the pizzas both red and white sauce. They were all AMAZING. Prices were very reasonable as well! Will definitely be back

My favorite pizza place hands down! Every time I try somewhere else I compare it to Federal Pizza and it just doesn't compare. My go to pizza is always the Casanova. If you order this get it for dine in only not take out . Doesn't taste the same. My gf likes the Pineapple Express and it has gotten spicier. The manifesto is ok the Casanova is where it's at. They have a great lunch special half a pizza and half salad. My favorite salad are the Caprese, chop, and Caesar. Plenty of food for 13.50. There is also a late happy hour special pizza and a bottle of wine for $30. This place gets packed so there can be a big wait. But it's well worth it!! It gets cold in there so bring a sweater lol

My go to pizza place when I'm back from college! Pizza is always fresh and the vibes are great!

The food was great! Staff was all smiles and had great attitude! Our little family had a nice Friday night dinner.

Love this spot!!! All their pizza is so good, and they have a great lunch deal where you can get half a pizza and half a salad for $12 which is a steal!! I've been here a few times already, and my favorite pizzas are probably the Casanova with the arugula and prosciutto and the Detroit style pizza with hot honey. Their salads are also great as well. We always have great service here. Vibes are great. Have never really had to wait for a table, but it's never too empty. They have a bar inside and outdoor seating as well. Parking can be tricky at busy times since there's a lot of great restaurants in this area. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Placed an order for pick-up while we were in the area. Great gluten-free pizza here! SiSi helped us, and she was awesome. Not just because we had service with a smile, but because she took the time to answer questions about ingredients, and even talked to the staff in back to get answers. If you are gluten-free because of celiac disease or an allergy, let them know. They will bake it in a separate oven and make sure to use a clean pizza cutter. If you just order gluten-free without specifying allergy, it will be baked with all the other pizzas. Also, they cannot guarantee cross contamination. Not many places do. Since April, they have officially had a full bar! Specialty cocktails, local craft beers including 4 Pigs, and Greenwood. A nice wine list, also offering some local brands, italian etc.. They rotate both! It is warmer than most places on a hot day in the early afternoon. Not too bad. Love that they have a drive-thru, though I haven't taken advantage of it yet. They have always been busy, yet still attentive, super friendly, and fast every visit. Our gluten-free cheese pizzas were great. They have the loose flour at the bottom of the pizza which makes it taste like a traditional pizza. I was assured it was just rice flour. The crust is so yummy, that it makes Federal one of our favorite local pizza places. Definitely tastes best fresh! Yummy food, great service every time makes Federal's a go-to place we can't pass when in the area.

A friend recommended this place so figured why not give a try. Had a reservation at 8pm but they were able to seat us around 7:30 which was very nice. Pretty casual ambiance and decor but the staff were very sweet and attentive. Started out with the loaded brussels which were so delicious, considering they are brussel sprouts. Would 100% get them again, we keep eating them throughout our dinner. Love how they are able to mix and match their pizzas, which allowed us to try a bit of everything. We did 1/2 big star,1/2 pepperoni with hot honey for the first pizza and then 1/2 casanova, 1/2 flamin lips for the other one. The Big Star was my personal favorite, the flavor combinations, smokeyness, the spices, and overall presentation was amazing. Will most definitely order that one again! The pepperoni with hot honey was a perfect balance of sweet and savory, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Wasn't a big fan of the casanova but the flamin lips was great, especially if you love a nice kick! Will most definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Wish I could give 0 zero stars walked in with my friend got seated and 20 minutes later no one acknowledged us or even came to our table. Walked right out and the server said sorry guys like really cmon .. sucks we were really looking forward to eating there but we took our business elsewhere.

My coworkers and I came during lunch time and it was very nice! They are pretty busy during lunch time, but we didn't wait that long. I enjoyed the salad especially because the croutons tasted homemade. The pizza was also really good, our waiter offered to grate fresh cheese on top of it and I think that made it better! The waiter serving us was super friendly, and attentive. I would def come back for lunch!

This is my favorite Resturant! I love their daily lunch special. We were in today celebrating a special occasion and the service was amazing. I called to set up a reservation and they made everything so quick and easy. When we got to the Resturant and it was time to order they were so understanding and willing to accommodate for my father's diet due to medical reasons. He was able to enjoy his meal without any issues and was so happy to finally have a good meal without any issues with our family. Federal Pizza, you guys are amazing and we thank you for your hospitality and amazing food.

Really enjoyed my dinner at Federal Pizza! The Detroit Style supreme pizza (forgot what the exact name was) was exactly the way Detroit style pizza should be. Thick crust, heavy sauce, lots of cheese, and tons of meats on it. Added Jalepenos to it for an extra kick as well. The pizza came out in about 20 minutes after putting in the order. Service was relatively prompt but we did wait about 5 minutes after being seated to be greeted and drink orders taken. Apparently its an open service model so many servers can take a table, but besides a different food runner the same server took all orders and ran the credit card. I'm subtracting a single star (wish I could leave a 4.5 star instead) since there were flies buzzing around and some of the tables were sticky. They had some large parties coming in and out so I don't hold it against them. It left a college sticky bar atmosphere since it wasn't the cleanest all around. There was plenty of outdoor seating with misters but it was 106 outside so it wouldn't have made a difference. Overall will be back and its added to the local restaurant rotation. Will definitely be a place to visit when the Detroit Style pizza cravings hit!

Pizza was amazing! Great location for a good pizza place! Busy but planned ahead so we were prepared to wait!

Friends, stopped in on a lazy Sunday afternoon for lunch!! No wait, super great service, and food was hot and tasty. Wings are amazing, tenders crisp and juicy!!! Ohhh, also....the adult beverages are refreshing and cold!!!! Ambiance is buzzy and upbeat. Highly recommend. Our server Tyler was very nice and on top of his game, very attentive. Grade: A+

Went to Federal Pizza and honestly loved everything. We did a half-and-half pizza so we could try two kinds, and both were delicious. The wings were packed with flavor, and the mozzarella balls were melty and perfect. Our server was super friendly and even helped us pick out a wine that went perfectly with the food. Such a chill, fun spot I'm already thinking about going back SOON.

Nice place. Another restaurant I've been trying to get to and finally made it. Adam was great and helpful in navigating me through the menu. Wine and beer selection were amazing. Soooo much to choose from. When trying a new pizzeria i always try the meatball appetizer and a margarita pizza. Adam knew what i was looking for and let me know the margarita wasn't traditional. Not a red base. So i went with the pepperoni. Those meatballs were probably some of the best i have tried in the valley. Beef, veal and pork. Juicy, flavorful and the polenta that comes with it, oh boy!!! I could eat a plate of that polenta by itself. The pizza was a bit different than what i'm used to but good. Light and airy crust. I would get it a bit more well done next time. A touch more salt in the dough making process definitely would help but still good. I can't wait for the paradise valley location to open up so i can try more things!

We still love coming here every time we visit Phoenix! This time we got a pan pizza, the Straight Up, just cheese. It was SO GOOD!! This restaurant has never done me wrong!!

The pizza and wings are very amazing I loved the drinks customer service was top tier and the place is very well kept and clean.

Federal is the last of the Postino family restaurants I had yet to try, and it definitely lived up to the great food and service of all the other locations. It was a busy Friday night, but we were able to get seats and the bar right away and had the most wonderful bartender serve us. He gave wonderful wine recommendations and was very accommodating to my indecisiveness by letting me sample 2 of the reds before making up my mind. The bolognese pasta was so delicious and was the perfect amount, no left overs here! They were also able to do a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza which was great so that we were able to try out 2 different pizzas and now know that the prosciutto pizza with arugula is the winner. A great vibe for happy hour or date night!

Always a good pizza combo happening here, just recently had a Cubano style pizza that blew me away, very nice, Southside is good too

We love Federal!! My favorite thing about a restaurant is obviously the food (lol) but also the consistency, and I have to say that federal is ALWAYS consistent with their food! We have come for lunch and for dinner many times, and the food quality is always consistent. Service is also important and we've always had great service from everyone including the hostess, servers and management. There was 1 time that we ordered the meatballs & polenta to come before the pizza & it came after, and they immediately said they'd comp it without us even saying anything. It wouldn't have been a big deal but I appreciate the nice service! The pizza is also delicious and we always have leftovers. One of our fav spots!

Ah Federal Pizza. I have eaten here in person and had delivery. This time was delivery and it arrived cold. No fault of the restaurants as they didn't deliver it, but it made the food not as good as usual. It was a 3 star this time, but they are usually 4. The Garlic bread was great with the "spicy" marinara. I do with it had some more spice though. Make us sweat! The pepperoni pizza had a crispy artisan crust with tiny pepperonis that cup when it cooks. These are the only pepperonis I want from now on! The wings were your average buffalo wings BUT, with their homemade ranch... yum! The ranch takes the cake here. I could probably drink it. I will be back here for sure, but in person, no take away or delivery. This type of pizza doesn't hold well over time.

Celebrated my birthday here, food was great and we loved the Flaming Lips pizza, just the right amount of kick to it . Devin was our server and he was amazing, had us laughing and very informative of the menu!

Our family loves Federal! We'll find any excuse to meet up here. The team members are very individualistic and LGBTQ+ friendly. My fiancée loves the Flaming Lips pizza, with Gorgonzola and mixed Italian meats. Even though I don't eat meat, the wings are absolutely delicious! I don't love that the servers assume you want a pitcher of beer instead of a pint. I'm a slow drinker and my beer gets warm in the AZ heat! Keep up the great vibes!

I can't even begin to describe how amazing this place is! I have been over a dozen times and it is consistently delicious. I have tried almost their entire menu over the past three years and these are a few of my favorites: BEST PIZZA: The flaming lips!!! The combination of spicy, savory, and sweet is addictive. The best pizza I have ever had. BEST SALAD: The wedge. The dressing is incredible and pairs so well with all of the other ingredients. BEST PASTA: The lamb bolognese. The lamb and bacon go so well together and it has so much flavor. BEST DEAL: Their double down lunch special! You get half a pizza and half a salad for only $13! It's from 11-4 every day and easily big enough to share with someone! Overall, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Everything is consistently delicious. The service is always outstanding, and the ambiance is fancy but chill at the same time. This is my go to place whenever someone asks me where I want to go to eat in Phoenix.

Great pizza, salad and beer. Locally owned and operated. We eat there quite often. Nice dinner vibe. Good draft beer and cocktail selection and happy hour prices are great.

First time here, not a good experience. we ordered a pizza online and the wait time was set at 6:20-6:30, we showed at 6:15, and yes that is a little earlier. We were "helped" by a young lady that was not the kindest, shorter blonde.. She had a hard time finding our order and then came back to tell us the time just moved up to it not being ready till 6:50. I went to ask her about the confirmation of 6:30 and she walked away leaving us sitting there. Now, maybe she didnt hear my question, but she never redirected us to pull around or showed any kindness towards the interaction. The staff inside was a lot kinder and sweet though, which is why i add the two stars.
