LOVE this place!!! I am Celiac and have eaten here several times and have never had a reaction! Their gluten free crust is fantastic and I appreciate that all of their toppings are gluten free! The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable about cross-contamination. I recommend this place if you're looking for a great meal and dinning experience.
I also love their little patio!
For someone who had eaten pizza all his life; Famoso is a breath of fresh air. The variety and savory selections make it a great choice, the fact that it's a lighter pizza, with a thin crust is a bonus all around for someone a little more health conscious. When you choose to scrap the diet for a day, the appetizers are a natural selection... on and the flatbread and Tzatziki.. oh and the meatballs..... it’s all good!
I love love love pizza. I built my own with pepperoni, Italian ham and cherry tomatoes. It was a delicious pizza! The crust was thin, soft and moist in the middle and chewy and charred along the edge. The sauce was good and there was lots of ingredients on it. Alex was very friendly and chatty.
My wife and I were downtown on Sunday for massages at Just for You. Our usual spot for dinner was closed so we decided to try Famoso. The dining room is very nice and staff attentive. I like that it has an open concept kitchen where diners can view the pizza oven and cooks tossing dough into the air. The restaurant seems to be a nice addition to downtown. For dinner I chose the Famoso salad. I would typically choose one of their pizzas but decided on something light since I had a volley ball game to play later that evening. It was really tasty. I was surprised at how well the sliced salami worked in a salad. I am typically not into chain restaurants and even though I love Regina style pizza the city needs a thin crust option. I will be sure to give it a shot the next time I have the opportunity and update this review.
Love the pizza, decently priced drinks, amazing dessert pizzas! Love the atmosphere as well. Nice place. I'll definitely be back for date night or girls night, or their lunch special.
Love! Food is great and affordable. Sometimes the staff needs to be a little more attentive, however, I think lately I have been served by mostly new hires. Until recently they have been rocking the good food/good service balance, but just the other day I waited for nearly 20 minutes with my bill before my server came with the machine (in non-peak hours). However, the owner is nearly always there and is very engaged with the customers and the business, so I'm sure this will work itself out. Mad respect.
If you haven't eaten here yet, it is a must. The lunch specials are killer.
We have eaten here a few times. I really like the pizza. My husband likes pizza with four inches of stuff on the top so he isn't so keen. Don't sit at a table with those metal chairs. They are the most uncomfortable chairs. Good if they want you to leave quickly! I've only ever had the Margarita. But that's because I like it. Others I've eaten with have had different pizzas and salads and have always enjoyed them.
I think it's a good place to go with a group of friends if you're not in a hurry to eat. It says the pizza cooks in 90 seconds but it takes an hour to get your food! My husband says they want you to spend money on drinks while you
wait.
I like it. There is one opening near us. I'd happily go back but my husband says he doesn't like waiting an hour and a half for his meal. I'll go with someone else!
Great atmosphere, great authentic pizza, and great service. Seeing a manager/owner take ownership of his establishment, and helping out, shows a commitment to a great product that they know they have. I have tried every pizza, red or white, plus their dessert dishes. All great, all good value. Highly recommended and awesome to have more options in downtown Regina, especially at night!
I am obsessed with this place. I love the pizza, the hummus and the panacotta is UNREAL. SO amazing, and I can't wait to go again. Definitely one of my favourite down town places to get food
I really like the food here. It's tasty, good value, and their beer selection is excellent. Their service, however, is suspect. I always have to wait a long time awkwardly at the door before being seated. I do not appreciate that.
We had a great time here. The food was great, the drinks were great and the service was amazing. I would go back for sure. When we walked in we found seats at the bar, there was only the 2 of us so we thought we would wait until we got a table... decided after waiting a while to just order and eat at the bar because there were still 3 couples ahead of us. The servers were friendly and did a great job and the pizza was amazing.
Only Criticism is that I couldn't make a reservation for 2 people, which I can understand why a restaurant doesn't want to do that but it would have been nice but eating at the bar works when there is just the 2 of you. If you had 3-5 people you would be waiting 45 minutes or more to eat at a table that you can talk to each other at because you can only make reservations for parties of 6 or more. It was slightly annoying, that's all.
Other than the wait time for a table everything else was great. Other restaurant owners should go eat there and take notes on how to give people great service.
I've had the pineapple and Ham pizza going on 4 times now, it has always been perfect and to my expectations since the last time. I think they're reasonably priced for what you are getting. Really great food!
