Famoso has some pretty delicious pizza. Never had bad service here. It's usually decently quick no matter how busy it is. My one beef with famoso is that the pizza is fairly expensive for the amount of toppings they give. Once a Blaze pizza comes out in this area, then i think it might be game over. The only consolation for Famoso is that they have an option for an egg on your pizza. Egg is the best yo.

I've been to this location quite often, and have always enjoyed the food, drink and atmosphere. Their tomato bisque soup is so so so good and a must have starter. I'm compelled to review today because of how welcoming/accommodating the owner and staff were to my friend and I bringing our babies for lunch. They quickly rearranged some tables, brought high chairs and checked in to see if babes needed anything extra. It was wonderful!
Love coming here for Capricciossa pizza, tomato soup, and Gorgonzola salad. My favourite pizza place. And they always have delicious wine and beer on tap. It keeps getting better and better every year
Whenever I feel like grabbing some pizza, Famosa is always on the top of my list. I always feel funny when going up to the front to place my order and sitting back down at my table. They should just have actual servers. My absolute favourite pizza from them is their Quattro Fromaggio (Four Cheese) pizza and heir Margherita Pizza. And you can't forget about their Nutella pizza! In my opinion, it's the best pizza you can get that's not delivery. Now just imagine if they did have delivery.
Good price for lunch and tiramisu is delicious.
Great!. I love the pizza here. People say it's greasy or wet but it's just the way I like it. Yes, when you melt cheese, fat will come off. The fact that you can see the oil is a sign that it's extremely fresh and not congealed. The service here is always fast (although a bit odd cause at Famoso you have to order at the front despite the "sit-down restaurant" atomosphere). Dessert is great, too! My partner and I go here all the time right before seeing a movie at the nearby theater.
Famosos is probably one of my go-to places for a night out. Their food is fantastic, I have never been disappointed by the food they put out. I love the way it looks. I have been to every location in edmonton and the food and service has always been good. The servers were helpful and kind, if not a bit slow at times but overall excellent. I'm very happy that famosos is expanding in edmonton, they deserve to be recognized
Favourite restaurant with little kids. We have been coming back time and time again with our young family. We order, go wash our hands and barely have time to get settled in our seats before the food is on the table; it's super fast and great tasting food for hungry inpatient little ones. The staff is amazing!
Great lunch spot!. Awesome place, great enthusiastic staff and delcious food!
Nice to meet the hands-on owner!. Thanks Chris for the fabulous lunch. We were treated like queens. The food was excellent as was the service. I really can't say enough about this location. We were initially seated at the 'pizza bar', not optimal for our anticipated intimate dishing, but okay. However, as soon as a booth opened up, we were transported over with great care. I had the fire-roasted tomato bisque with the small wiseguy and my friend had the same soup with the spicy Thai pizza (lunch size). Filling and very tasty. I really wish I had tried this place sooner. Highly recommended.

Best Pizza Around. Good luck finding a better everyday pizza. Yes sometimes you need just a greasy pile of cheese but for all other days you'll want Famoso. Thin, light and 100% satisfying, I've eaten a full pizza myself on several occasions. Delicious!
You know you've been to a great restaurant when you immediately open the menu again after you've finished eating to plan what you will order on your next visit. The service was awesome and the food was delicious.
One Of My Fav's. Luv those mozza balls, but wish their pizza crust wasn't so soggy.
...still loves it.... Been to 3 locations now, and still an amazing place to go eat. Still by far one of the best gourmet pizza you can find in the city. Excited that there will be a Famoso opening up north by the Eaux Claires bus terminal. It will be close to my home and I for sure will be going when it opens!
Awesome Pizza!. Have been to this location multiple times and it remains one of our tried and true favourites in the city. Pizza is amazing, service is top notch and vibe is very relaxing...Highly Recommend.
Famoso is real Italian tasting food. Pizzas are amazing actually everything on the menu is amazing iv been going once a week with the girls ever since we discovered this gem. Big fan!!!
Excellent. Famoso is excellent, excellent pizza. Just the way I like it. This particular franchised location is excellent. They went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. We brought our own ice cream cake, they stored it until we were ready and offered to cut it and serve it for us and reminded us we had left overs in their freezer. Class act. The place was busy, and exciting with young, attentive staff. Awesome dining experience. Well done!
I've been to Famoso many times before and love the food. We ordered the meatballs to start, the fall winter feature they were delightful. The food tastes unique and fresh. However the service was kind of slow and our server forgot to check up on us and we didn't get a refill until we had finished our meal. That was kind of disappointing. Overall food was great, service was a bit slow, no big deal. Still recommend!
My favorite Pizza. This is my favorite pizza in the city. I love the thin crust, and the dough is perfect. If you love olives, try the Primavera. I also love the speed. The pizza cooks in a few minutes, so when you're hungry you know you'll get fed right away. I wish they still served Chinotto Italian soda.
Love the pizza! Love the salad with the nuts and cheese as well, yummy! Great location with good staff, will be back for sure!
Pizza is great. I have never been disappointed by the food. Sophia Lorine is great sandwich. Food is always fresh and made with quality ingredients. Staff are always great
Love it. I have been to Famosos a number of times and love every Pizza I try, from the Thai Chicken to the veggie pizzas . I can't wait for the return of their chicken wings, but until the summer the meatballs and flat bread will do.
Tomato bisque is the best soup ever!
Awesome. This is what pizza should actually taste like. Thank you, Famoso.
Fantastic Food for Lunch. Service is fantastic and fast. The pizza is super tasty and the tomato bisque is pure comfort food. They also make a mean vanilla latte.
Delicious. Best Pizza ever, and do yourself a favor and finish the meal with Affagato -- choose the cinnamon gelato for a perfect combo!
This place was awesome from start to finish. U are going to see more and more famous around. I am proud that this started in Edmonton
Super delicious thin crust pizza. My wife and I both love going toboth this location and the one downtown.
AMAZING!!!!!. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Their pizza's are so delish, the crust is thin and so tasty and the toppings are all so favorful and fresh. Each and every one of their salads are the best I have ever tasted and the dessert and gelato just complete each meal. WIne list is excellent too. The service and friendly atmosphere is so welcoming and warm. After finishing a meal here you walk out feeling so happy and satisfied. This is real Italian pizza and nothing can compare to this wonderful feast. If food is love than this is true love at its best.
Yummy nutella pizza!! Love the movie deal. The food delivery was quick.
I went to Famoso's recently on a Saturday night. The wait was about 15 minutes but our waitress mentioned it was usually busier. The decor makes you feel admit you were in a rustic cottage, but with some sophistication. The variety of pizza was very good, as it offered more than the usual toppings. Famoso also has the most amazing crust!! Our food arrived quickly after we ordered and it was delicious! The manager was also very friendly and was chatting with most of the people. Overall a great place!
It was the first time coming here for me and my bf. The service was great, very friendly and informative . We got our pizza"s fairly quick , the salad was very nice and so was the pizza , very healthy and flavorful . For dessert we had tiramisu, very nice and light texture . I definately would go again to try the other pizzas!
Friendly and quick service despite being quite busy. Pizza to equal any I had in northern Italy! Nice glass of wine to accompany. Blood orange gelato to die for to complete this. Two thumbs up from me and my Italian wife!
Fresh ingredients, great atmosphere, and pizza that is absulutely amazing!
There difference is quality ingrediants. Very simple but light tasty pizzas. Very freindly staff . We sat up front to watch them bake. Very very fast from order to table. Prices range from $11 to $15. Get past the pizza that weighs more then your leg and enjoy the flavors. Oh and I don't know anyone here. I try to do honest reviews.
Famoso has a wide selection of red and white pizzas, New World pizzas, paninis and fire bread sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Today, we ordered my usual – the Margherita pizza topped with roasted mushrooms, prosciutto, and roasted garlic – and a fire bread Wiseguy sandwich, which
