One of, if not the best pizza place in town. Luca has made Famoso a welcoming and fun atmosphere. He and his staff have always done well by me!
Loved the pizza dough for the kids. Way better than crayons/colouring pages. Genius!! Kept them happy and creative the whole time!
Great food. Tons of gluten and dairy free options which was a nice surprise. We were all fat and happy as we waddled our way out.
Our server was great too, helpful without being obtrusive!
Just a great night out! Really happy. We will be back for sure! Often!
This place was a rainy night dream for us! We walked in received great service with a warm smile! We had great seating and the server was so amazing! She kept us well accommodated for and was polite and friendly the whole time! Now the star was the food! Incredible fresh pizza and ingredients transformed into a Tuscan vacation! We will be coming back for years to come
Famoso Italian Pizzeria + Bar, Johnson St. Victoria BC is expert in traditional cooking and serving different tasty Italian Pizza. This is situated at very prominent location and heart of the city. Place is very clean, quiet, well maintained, well managed and organised. Service is very good. All the staff is very cooperative, helpful and friendly. Food is very tasty, healthy and hygiene. Food is freshly cooked and served.
I loved this place.
I wanted Napoli style pizza because I have been pizzeria in Napoli in Italy. Margherita was good!
There is only one thing I don't like that their need ventilation. When I first stepped inside, I felt stuffed.
Loved it! The atmosphere is really laid back and lots of natural light. Super good for families. I went solo and had a pizza. The pizza is traditional and stayed warm to hot for a good period of time. Which was amazing! Two tvs if u like sports like me. Will be back and recommend it . Nicely located
Went to Famoso after reading positive reviews. The restaurant was full with families, couples, and groups, creating a lively atmosphere. We were promptly seated and ordered 2 pizzas.
Our pizzas arrived relatively quickly. These were some of the best Neapolitan pizzas we have had outside of Italy. The crusts were well cooked, tender, and tasty. The pizzas had a nice sauce and the toppings were fresh and well prepared.
We were very impressed, and as annual visitors to Victoria, we will certainly return and highly recommend it.
The staff was very friendly and the pizza was delicious. I'll definitely visit again.It was a great experience at the end of the year:)
First time visit, food was good, service was excellent. Managed to grab a corner table since it was not that crowded.
The tomato bisque was very good.
Slightly disappointed on the Bruschetta as it seemed to have more onions and a very overpowering taste as compared to the 🍅 or herbs in it. Also the bread was the same for Bruschetta and flatbread which seemed a little odd.
My friend had the meatballs in his shareables and he remarked that the sauce was great.
Will have to revisit for an actual pizza or dining experience
I just went to this place today after having a bad experience there a couple years ago. I have to say, the pizza was really good and I don’t say that lightly. The crust was chewy yet crispy, like I’d expect from a neapolitan pizza. The toppings were delicious and seemed of high quality. The waitress was the owner and was extremely nice. She mentioned that they took the place over a year ago, and it shows. I will be coming back here again!
The pizza was amazing but the whole edge of my crust was extremely burnt. The service was good and the place was calm and nice until some people and all their screaming kids came in. which isn't the restaurant fault, it's just something I noticed, it was kinda annoying because they seated them right in the middle of the restaurant when there where big tables off to the sides.
mozza balls, sweet bbq chicken pizza with tomato bisque. pizza flavour was the wrong choice.
I don’t like sweet sauce on my pizza it turns out, I better stick to my classic flavours.
The mozza balls were awesome, wrapped in prosciutto i think and not fried, Baked! drenched in tomato sauce with fresh basil. it cane with yummy garlic bread. A nice choice if you haven’t decided what to eat in the area.
