If you are looking for a fun place to hang out and some good food to eat, you should go to Pieces. Great people, great atmosphere, great food—what more could you want in a restaurant? Pieces has all three PLUS great prices! It’s every broke college student’s dream pizzeria.
Pieces is a small, hole-the-wall pizza-by-the-slice restaurant that is probably (unfortunately) overlooked by many that walk by it. Its laid back atmosphere is very welcoming to everyone that visits. It has a comfortable vibe that is great for a dinner out with friends, or a night of studying. Pieces offers inside and outside seating, catering to everyone's needs. It is open during the week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the week, on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. and on Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
If the atmosphere doesn't keep you coming back, the food definitely will. Pieces is by far the best pizza I have had in Sacramento. They offer pizza-lover favorites like, pepperoni and cheese, among others. But they also have a great veggie pizza and an amazing pesto pizza that will win your heart. The slices are huge and are made to order. Kind of . Pizzas are already baked, but you can add on extra produce like pineapple. Unlike many restaurants, what's great about Pieces is they bring in fresh groceries everyday, and that is what they use for their pizza. And don't forget the fresh garlic! If that isn't enough, their pesto sticks are killer, and are also big to help fill you up. Pieces also offers fresh salads and fresh baked desserts, as well as beer!
The staff is great too. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I have yet to have an experience with a server that was anywhere near less than satisfactory. All of the employees are always in a good mood and are funny. They welcome conversation and always greet customers with a smile. Their laid back personalities feed into the great vibe at Pieces.
Another great thing about Pieces is it is one of the few places that stay open later than last call. Post-2 a.m. restaurants are hard to find, unless Denny's will satisfy your drunken craving for greasy food. This is good for night-owls that aren't ready to go home when bars close. Pieces is a great place to wind down the night, or a great place to get the night started. Whether you're drunk or sober, the next time you're in the midtown area, make sure you stop by 21st and Capitol for some great food, you'll leave feeling better than you did when you went in.

An enthustiastic review, but would have been stronger with some details:
A broke college student's dream? OK, I'll bite (sorry, bad pun) but how much is a pizza? A beer? A dessert?
Also, waiting until the end of the piece to say where it is might be a little too hopeful.
Where it is, what it costs, and what it serves ought to be front and center of the counter.
