Excellent food which pairs well with their wonderful staff (and a quality beer selection too!
The food was delicious, had bbq chicken pizza & cauliflower spinach dip is amazing!
This buzzing establishment at the corner of Bloor and Dalton serves excellent drinks and pizzas. Ordering is a bit unusual in that one walks up to the counter to order after being seated which purportedly speeds the overall serving time. The food is excellent and the servers are friendly. 4 Fromaggi Pizza Bianca
Delicious and authentic pizza, wonderful, caring owner (who doesn't make it known that he's the owner but really takes the time to make sure that you enjoy your stay). Service can be slow at times but the food makes up for it. Nightly drink specials are good too!
From the moment we walked in I felt that the food is good here. Yeah, so what right?
Pleasant server was some assistance with questions we had. Ordered Gorgonzola walnut salad-Very good. Calabrese salad- also very good. Meatballs, same. Custom pizza- so good! Second custom pizza not as much. But that was on me for the combination. Parmesan cheese not very good.
About 72$ for the above.
Waiting area by the WC is nice for unknown reasons. Definitely make this a regular haunt!
Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria is a growing pizza chain from Western Canada, where a handful of locations is opened. Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of being invited to Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria at the Bloor West location. That location opened in 2012, and has since become a popular spot for pizza in the Annex. Famosa is best known for its authentic Neapolitan style cuisine, which makes no apology for their creative menu of fusion pizzas. Dean (the owner) runs two locations with his brother, and he is very passionate about the trade. He explained in details about the journey that they embarked on to bring us this delicate taste of Naples menu that we were able to sample.
Located on Bloor & Spadina, the restaurant features a decently sized dining area with an open concept kitchen. The interior composed of contemporary rustic décor with warm colours, and dark wood floors. They recently launched a new F/W menu with a small selection of new items including Mac & Cheese, Korean BBQ Beef Pizza, and Patate Pancetta Pizza.
We started dinner off with the Fire-Roasted Tomato Bisque - roasted Campania tomato soup topped with feta cheese, and served with flatbread. This was one of the highlights of the evening. The bisque was rich with flavor, as the tomatoes hail from Pompeii, Italy. The body of these tomatoes taste stronger, sweeter, and have less acidity in them due to the growing conditions of the volcanic ash that makes up the significant content of the soil. With some added crushed peppers, and Parmesan cheese, the aroma of the bisque was brought to its greatest. Definitely a must order if you want to warm up from the cold weather.
For the main courses, we decided to try out two of their newest pizza items from their F/W menu. Let’s start with the Patate Pancetta ($16.50) - crème fraîche, rosemary, russet potatoes, fior-di-latte, mozzarella, pancetta, caramelized onions, sea salt, white truffle oil, Grana Padano, lemon wedge, topped with a fried egg. This was a very rich pizza with an assortment of ingredients including pancetta that is cured pork belly with similar properties to both prosciutto and bacon. This particular pizza can be considered pretty close to a brunch item, as the center was topped off with a fried egg, garnished with a very generous portion of caramelized onions, and russet potatoes, white truffle oil, and fio-di-latte mozzarella. A wedge of lemon was also provided as a taste only basis.
We ate here before going to a concert. The service was great! We built our own pizza the flavours were very good it was still doughy which was our fault we should have asked for it to be extra Cooked. The atmosphere was warming and it was fun watching them cook in the big pizza oven. The prices were reasonable as well. They had lots of intresting toppings for your pizza overall we'd return.
Absolutely 100% delicious. Had a quick lunch today of margarita pizza and a Caesar salad. Caesar dressing is home made and extremely good. Fresh Parmesan and prosciutto on top. Good to the last forkful for sure. Service we also excellent and very friendly. I will return for sure.
Favorite pizza joint in the city. Service is fast and friendly, atmosphere is great, not too loud like other pizza joints. Pizzas are awesome. When we finish ours, we usually order an extra to store at home in the freezer.
My friend moved here from Italy 2 years ago and Famoso is one of the only places he will go to for pizza in the city. Service is great and the pizzas are delicious. The wine and beer selection is pretty good and it's a great place for a larger group or a date. The pizzas take some time to cook so be patient!
Pizza is light yet delicious. Choices are unique, not your typical "pepperoni pizza" place. Very relaxing environment as well.
Good, but not like the original location Edmonton. Clearly a certain amount of pride/attention to detail is lost when you franchise as the same level of enthusiasm for the pizza just isn't there by the staff or cooks. Still good, but felt generic compared to the original ( I ate there twice and both times the same). If the franchise owners read this I highly recommend you spend more time getting your team excited about the pizza and experience.
Pizzas are super tasty.
Why only 4 stars? Service is slow, after our order we had to wait over an hour to have our pizzas to been served. Mediterranean pizza came without a topping mentioned on their menu which was kalamata olives and l couldn't taste the hummus that supposed to be in.
Prices are reasonable for fresh pizza. 12" for $20.
Best happy hour in the city! Tasty food and drinks at reasonable prices! Never had a bad experience, great service always! Please bring back the olives and Mediterranean platter!!! See you guys soon! :)
Took our daughter out for a pre-grad/birthday meal. Food was fantastic! Ordered the pizza and tomato bisque combo. Both were to die for! Strawberry cheesecake was sublime! Service was amazing! Thank you Mya! You were lovely! 💛
Ate here with 4 other friends for a late lunch. Had the pizza and it was done to my liking. All fresh and hot out of the oven. Was not too busy on a Sunday afternoon so it provided a quiet place to get together.
Very cozy place to enjoy a delicious crusty pizza (and many Italian dishes too). Great service and pizza (Margherita) was delicious, great sauce and cheese! A bit disappointed with the Chianti wine, not really good.
Famoso had friendly service and good food. The Prawn Pesto pizza is an interesting choice for someone looking for a slightly more original meal. My friends ordered pasts and were satisfied. One thing though - please work on your dough for pizza! A little thicker would be nice.
Had a Margarita pizza and it was delicious! They also have lactose-free cheese and their Patio was small but nice. The staff were friendly, but it took much longer than expected to get my food
