Reviews Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria

Better pizza than your average chain, but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is welcoming (but the decor still has the feeling of being overly planned, as with all chains) and service was friendly. My friends ordered the Capricciosa ($16.50) and the Siciliana ($16.50) while I opted for the Sofia Loren sandwich ($14.35) with the Napoli salad as a side. Given that the restaurant was not very busy, it took an absurdly long time for our food to arrive. I have to say I enjoyed my sandwich more than I was expecting: the vegetables were nicely roasted and the pesto was flavourful, but the whole thing was far, far too oily. The pizza I tried was not overly impressive: everything tasted fresh, but parts of the crust were a bit too charred, and the whole pie was just a bit underwhelming. Considering the price, you can get far better at other pizzerias in Calgary.
