Best Pizza in Sacramento

If you’re searching for the best pizza in Sacramento – this is the place to discover your ideal slice of pie. Whether you’re craving thin crust, deep dish, gluten-free, or some other wild style, these are the best pizzerias in town.

Ranking the Sacramento Pizza Scene

Ranking the offerings of Sacramento pizza to find the best comes with a few nuances. With different types of pizza and purposes out there, I found it a bit presumptuous to simply say, Restaurant X has the best pizza. Instead, I’ve broken down pizza by style, type, and purpose.

For example, you can find the best all-around pizza if you are into the Farm to Fork Scene or the best if you are looking for the best late-night pizza by the slice. The pizzas all have their place in the hands of a pizzaiolo – a person who makes pizza.

Ranked in alphabetical order because I simply could not choose, these are the two best pizza restaurants you can find in Sacramento. Plan on your life never being the same once you’ve had dough that comes out of these pizzerias.

Federalist Public House

Come to Federalist for the classic Neapolitan-style pizza you will find in Italy. Their pizzaiolo, Crystal, even traveled to Italy to perfect her craft. You can also find deep-dish styles, but truth be told, their Neapolitan is on point.

Tudo Un Poco

Dine at Tudo Un Poco for Mexican-Italian fusion pizza. This charming restaurant is incredibly welcoming with an outdoor patio to share a pie with your friends. Creative pizzas grace the menu – owner Isabella told me she’s been making these delicious creations for over 23 years now. This is the kind of restaurant that will have you coming back to try the different creations.

I have to admit, I was initially apprehensive about the white sauce on all the pizzas – but after sampling, I felt it works well with the pizzas. Thick crust is cooked perfectly – not underdone and not burnt – just right to bite into without destroying the roof of your mouth. Hearty, filling slices will allow you to plan on taking some home and enjoying again for breakfast.

The Chile Verde with carnitas, tomatillo, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, and queso fresco, Jalisco Heat, with white sauce, beans, chorizo, jalapeños, to the Yucatan with black beans, carnitas, and jalapeños, or the Chicken Mole Pizza, Todo Toluca with chorizo, linguica, jalapeños, and feta, or even the Punjabi Pizza.
