| - We visited on a Friday for lunch. We were seated right away. I ordered the "Double Down" lunch deal, where I got to choose half a pizza and a half-salad or soup. I ordered the half Casanova and chicken panzanella salad, and an apple spice wine cooler. The drink was delicious, like a really fresh apple cider. I liked the dough of the pizza--good, chewy, with bubbles in the crust, but I have had better. I enjoyed the sweet combination of toppings, and the softness of the hot ricotta was divine. The salad was good but had only two chunks of fresh mozzarella (mind you, those were tasty chunks). My husband had a full meatball pizza, which he liked but didn't think it was the best around. I tried a slice, and I agreed--it wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't have a zing to it, either. He had two Epicenter beers.
The service was an issue, too. Our server was MIA most of the time. All the other servers would pass by, see us looking around, and tend to us. Our server would then show up and see everything was taken care of and go to the opposite side of the dining room again. We were grateful that the rest of the staff was attentive!
We don't go to downtown Phoenix very often and there are a lot of choices there. While we liked Federal Pizza, I doubt we'll make a return visit.
