Take That to the Bank: Pizza That is

Just on the outskirts of Downtown Phoenix right off Central Avenue stands the old First Federal Bank building originally built in the 1950s. Since then however, the bank has changed to a different kind of doe management and is now a modern yet comforting pizza restaurant which fits perfectly for the Phoenix night life. Specializing in wood fired pizzas and their wide drink selection, Federal Pizza is defiantly #hashtag worthy.

Federal Pizza in Downtown Phoenix

  Federal Pizza is not like any other wood fired pizza joint, this joint makes some classic pizzas with that perfect modern flavor. Federal’s Master Baker MJ Coe can pan out a simple yet unmatchable pepperoni pizza or if you’re a real foodie then you will notice the large variety of toppings and the strange combinations that make Federal Pizza what it is today. There is the Brussels Sprout Pizza which of course has Brussels sprouts, in addition to pancetta, manchego, wonderfully roasted garlic, and some lemon zest. Then for a more subtle yet savory pizza, there is Federal Pizza’s Manifesto, which includes mushrooms, Schreiner’s sausage, red sauce, goat cheese, and fennel. Another modern pizza includes Federal’s white sauced Margherita pizza which is very simples yet its flavors go a long way. The Margherita includes house mozz, roasted tomato, basil, and some extra virgin olive oil. Then the last one worth noting (at least so far, I will go back to try the rest soon) is the Casanova. The Casanova includes prosciutto, dates, ricotta, arugula, and pecorino. This pizza really sets the bar that wood fired taste.

  Yet, what’s a restaurant without warming appetizers and a great drink to go along with it all. The Mister Mister is a blend of house mozz, baby artichokes, baby suchini, sweet potatoes, green goddess and romesco. Then to satisfy your thirst, you can order some fresh soothing iced tea or some very modern wine coolers. There is the Strawberry Rhubarb, Mango Basil, and one that is very different but seeming hard to put down is the Grapefruit Ginger.

This #hashtag worthy restaurant is defiantly something worth returning two any time of the year. The staffs are amazing, the pizza is baked to perfection, and the drinks are all perfect to help wash it down. Which all of this combined earns Federal Pizza a #YES for both #food and #drinks.
