Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria

Very average service at best. Very disappointed with the pizza. Soggy and absolutely tasteless.
I will never go back to this place even if they paid for my meal.

I really, really wanted to like this place. I love authentic Italian pizza and had high hopes for this local pizzeria. After being there on 3 different occasions, I am sad to report that I have been disappointed every time. Three times, three different pizzas. Each time the pizza was soggy and left me with awful heart burn.
The service was OK, but the restaurant was loud. I really wish I could give this place a better review. We need a good pizza place on the West side of town, but alas, this isn’t it.

This is on our top 3 list of best pizza places in the city.
Love the crust, topping choices, service and wine.
Our Friday night dinner and wine place…
The service is awesome. On $ 10 off wine night, our server forgot to discount the wine, when I mentioned it, the manager came over and apologized as it was the servers first shift and he gave us the option of the $ 10 or a $ 25 gift certificate. No brainer for us to take the $ 25…
Great place!

Famoso has lots of great pizzas to choose from, and they are always busy at this location as it is a great spot for a date, for families, or to watch the game.
The servers have always generally been friendly when we’ve come to sit down or take out pizza. We love the crust here, as well as the delicious pizza options. My husband and I love their brussel sprouts and walnut pizza with a honey drizzle.
I also love that they have other options on the menu. I like ordering the pizzette — a smaller pizza with 4 small slices that you can partner with a salad.
Famoso is definitely somewhere I go back again and again for the great pizza crust, and down to earth dining room.

Have been here few times already; service is good, cannot say outstanding; food quality is the same every time; we tried different types of pizzas and all were fresh, tasting good. Not many options for beer on tap but works fine. Very close to Cineplex and easy to drop by in between movies.
Will be back definitely.

I came here for the first time a few weeks ago and then I returned last week. The food is so good! I got the Italian Pepperoni and Mushroom the first time around and the Margherita the second time. Both times I was there in time for the lunch special, so I had the pizzetta versions (smaller size) with a side caesar salad.
The caesar salad is not what you would expect: the dressing airs more on the side of a vinaigrette than a creamy dressing, the bacon is thin, like prosciutto, and the cheese is more chunky than on most caesar salads. It is so delicious! The flavours are very distinct from one another and they play together beautifully in the bowl.
The pizzas are also amazing! The crust almost tastes like a toasty naan bread; it’s very chewy in the middle and has a great, buttery flavour. The sauce is a little bit more watery than what I usually find on pizzas, the cheese is fresh and not skimped on at all, and the toppings are clearly the best ingredients they can find.
The pepperoni and mushroom pizza I had the first time had a great mushroom flavour that I loved, but, if you don’t like mushrooms that flavour might put you off of the whole pizza, as the flavour melds with all of the other ingredients. The margherita had fresh basil on the top that just filled my mouth and nose with flavour and scent. It was mind-​blowing!

We went for dinner tonight. Excellent food. Great customer service. Manager and the server were very friendly.

Gluten free prosciutto arugula pizza that doesn’t taste gluten free… Nuff said.
However, i wish they’d cut the pizza a little better. It’s never quite cut through. My significant other has the same issue with the non gluten free crust, so it’s not just harder to cut the gluten free crust.

First time at any Fomoso location and we enjoyed it. The food was great. Wednesday was $ 10 off bottles of wine. And they cork it and send it home with you if you don’t finish it. Service was good. Right close to the movie theatre so I will def be back for eats before a movie sometime. Not a super happening place but if the food and service remain good, it will do well.

Best pizza in YYC. Friendly staff, good prices. Reasons enough for me to come here every week.

Been wanting to try the pizza here for a while as I work in the area. Very disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and the ordering system was pretty neat, but the pizza was dry, had few toppings, and was even slightly burnt. I asked for ranch dressing in hopes to drown out the burnt taste and was informed by the woman behind the bar (rather pretentiously I might add) that they didn’t have any. The only thing that made up for it was the fabulous gelato and our wonderful friendly server, I didn’t catch his name but he was lovely.
Long story short: not worth what they charge.

I am glad to have more restaurants in Westhills. Having been to Southern Italy, I have tasted authentic neapolitan pizza and Famoso’s pizza aren’t really that similar. The margarita pizza is soggy, even when it is fresh out of the oven. Some of the white pizza’s are ok because the sauce doesn’t turn the crust soggy as quickly.
The proscuitto wrapped mozza balls were odd. Waaay too much meat.
The staff are nice, and the location is good.
Kids can eat here no problem.

Three words:
Cold pizza soup
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t like cold runny pizza that complete falls apart when I pick it up

We went here last weekend for the first time. It’s casual, you order at the counter. Make no mistake though, it’s great gourmet pizza and wine. Try the primavera, it has the best olives on it! We also had the tomato bisque and prosciutto wrapped mozzarella balls… yum! Oh and the rustic garlic toast was delicious! I wish I had room for dessert! Next time!
The only negative was the slow service for getting our 2^nd course. In their defence it got very busy so I’m sure the oven could only churn out so many pizzas at one time!
We’ll go back this weekend again!

I was SO excited when this location opened up! It was so worth the wait.
Many may not agree with the style of service but I think it’s a great idea. As you are seated, you review the menu and place your order at the order desk. Your server then brings you your drinks and will continue to service you throughout your meal.
Their pizza is the traditional thin crust Neopolitan pizza. Their menu has a great selection of starters, pizzas and desserts. On our first visit we had Cavoletti — Oven-​roasted Brussels sprouts, prosciutto crisps, gorgonzola cheese, dates, walnuts, drizzle of honey & the Funghi — Parmesan crema, fior-​di-​latte, roasted white mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, caramelized onions, white truffle oil, pecorino romano. We also shared their Gorgonzola Walnut Salad — Romaine lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, semi-​dried cranberries, gorgonzola walnut vinaigrette. All items were AMAZING! Sometimes with thin crust pizza’s they come burnt in some places. But everything was cooked well and tasted amazing.
We ended our meal with their Nutella and Banana pizza … OMG it was heaven on a plate! So delicious and oozing of Nutella. Upon our next visit we will definitely try their gelato.
We will definitely be back as it is in a convenient location for us and I love the fact they do take-​out!
Great job Famoso!
