| - If I were reviewing Federal Pizza for the food only, I'd bring my review up to a 4 star. That being said, we had a weird experience here last weekend.
We arrived around 6:30 after being told this was a good time to arrive (no reservations for parties under 8 people). We had just under this amount and were told it would likely be short wait. Well, after a 30+ minute drive, we were told we had a 2 hour wait. After some smooth talking, it was shortened to 60 minutes and we agreed to stay.
Fast forward 90 minutes and we were still waiting for a table. In general, it was a big deal, its to be expected in a pre-summer weekend.
The next issue was the service. I found the front staff and servers to be a bit pretentious. This is a big pet peeve of mine. No one deserves to be talked down to. Our waiter was nice in general, but was very inattentive. Several parts of our order were messed up or not even brought to our tables. When we asked about this, they acted annoyed.
The food was good - we ordered 2 veggie pizzas and 2 meat pizzas. As a vegetarian, I only tried the veggie pizzas, but they were legit. The appetizers & drinks were ok. Again, things were forgotten so I can't give a whole review.
If you're close by & want pizza, perhaps give it a try. If its the weekend, you're better of trying somewhere else. The Phoenix area has so many great pizza places that I don't recommend wasting your time at a place that is more pretentious than it is delicious.
