Eight Street Pizza — Restaurant in Sacramento

Title: A 'Slice' of Heaven in Sacramento!

Well folks, let's talk about "Eighth Street Pizza" in Sacramento - the only place in town where the crust is so divine, even gluten-free people rethink their life choices.

From the moment you step foot into this carby wonderland, your senses are taken hostage by the aromatic waltz of baking dough and bubbling cheese. The ambience is as inviting as a grandma's kitchen - if your grandma was a hip, graffiti-artist with a deep-seated love for retro vinyl records.

Each pizza they serve is a veritable Picasso on a platter. The Margherita is a minimalist masterpiece while the Pepperoni has more rounds than a heavyweight boxing match. And their special Sac-Town Supreme? It's like Mardi Gras on a pizza stone!

Now let's not forget the staff - a delightful squad of pizza ninjas that swoop around, refilling your soda before you've even realized it's empty. Their service is so fast, you'd think they swapped their delivery scooters for teleporters.

So if you're in the neighborhood and hear your stomach grumbling louder than a grizzly bear, march down to Eighth Street Pizza. And remember: a balanced diet is a slice of pizza in each hand. Over and out,...

One of my favorite places for lunch. Pizza by the slice, the size of a medium pizza at most places. I usually go for the daily special. $8 for 2 slices and 3 toppings and a can of soda. Put in perspective, a slice of pepperoni is $4.50 and 2 toppings is $5. Again for the price, the size is enough for a few people. It's also a thin crust pizza. Certain times of the day, lunch, can get real busy and can take anywhere between 8-20 min to get your slice. You can try calling the order in before hand, I have done this a few times. He may not always answer because of working alone usually, but you can keep trying.

On a side note, if you do want to try it out, the best bet would be on a slower day through the week (Monday-Friday, have not gone during the weekend) would be on Wednesday. During this time is the farmers Market and he gets less foot traffic...

To me, this is one of those spots where you'll definitely miss it if you don't know what you're looking for. Or if you're wandering around aimlessly at night, happen to be hungry and happen to cross paths with this joint and notice it’s open, you're in for a treat!

Ever since I tried my first slice of NY style pizza in NY (thank you Scar's pizza) I've been in search for if one exists in Sac.

With a mural for its sign and a neon open sign, you'll walk in to a small and intimate seating area. I've visited two times in the past 2 days because I couldn't get enough of the pies!

When I visited, it was already pretty late in the night (9pm - 10pm) and the man working mentioned they're open until about 2am on Fridays. The wait was longer than expected but it was a welcomed experience to just slow down, sit down and enjoy the ambience as he whistled...
