201 N. Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603 Ally says “I love the pizza at Federal Taphouse – they use a wood-fire oven so the crust is nice and crispy. Their toppings range from traditional to seasonal and unique, like drunken figs and sweet corn. As an added bonus, the Fed has around a 100 beers on tap to pair with your pie.”
