Federalist Public House Beer Garden

This restaurant is fantastic! The staff is incredibly friendly and the South Side pizza was absolutely amazing!

The pizza and beer at this restaurant are fantastic. The Midtown Monday special is unbeatable.

Alright, I've been coming to the Federalist for years but this is the first time I've reviewed it. The order: Capitol Southside pizzas, w/ the rosemary loaf and salami sides. Food was good/great. The rosemary loaf was the standout, followed by the Capitol, the Southside, then the salami. Southside came out way more cooked than the Capitol, on the verge of crispy. The beer selection was okay, a good spread of styles, but the specific brews/breweries were mediocre (device, dust bowl, etc). That being said, I'll still continue to come to Federalist for the pizza and ambiance.

Some of the best pizza in town. Pup friendy, and great beer selection.

The flow of dinner was a bit clunky, but each dish that came out was eventually excellent, and worth the wait. The only chance to order a drink is when you place your initial order, an inconvenience given the long wait before food is served. First came the house salad, then a charcuterie board, pizza next, separately, and then the rosemary bread which really was meant to be eaten with the soppressata and olives. The dough used for the pies and the loaf was sweet and chewy, kissed with char from the wildfire oven, it was a delight with every accompaniment. The little button pepperoni shined, their bite very much in balance with the other ingredients' flavor, including the vegan mozzarella.
