" Famoso, where do I even start? I have been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The service is always friendly, and the staff remembers my usual order, which makes me feel special. They've recently updated their menu, and I was thrilled to see some new pizza options like the Nutella dessert pizza. It’s rich, sweet, and just the right amount to share after a savory feast. Overall, it remains one of my favorite pizzerias in Vancouver, and I will continue coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I rarely visit pizzerias anymore, but Famoso has convinced me to make this a regular spot. The variety on the menu is impressive, from classic pizzas to creative options like their Alfredo chicken. My friends and I enjoyed a laid-back evening here, the service was friendly and didn’t rush us at all. The ambiance felt both lively and homey. By the time we left, I felt happy and full. This is my new favorite little Italian haven! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Famoso on a whim and left impressed! The Italian music playing in the background offered a cozy environment that I thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered the tomato bisque, which was creamy and flavorful but could use a bit of seasoning. For my main dish, I opted for the pepperoni pizza. It had a good balance of cheese and toppings. I'd rate the authenticity of their food a solid 4 because it really felt like I was in an Italian pizzeria. Overall, I am excited to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for a corporate lunch, and I must say, Famoso exceeded my expectations. The manager helped us craft the perfect pizza menu for our group, taking into account various dietary restrictions. Everyone was raving about the food, especially the pesto prawn pizza and their fresh salads. The ambiance was lively and made for a great lunchtime setting. Famoso successfully combines fresh ingredients with an Italian flair. I would highly recommend for both large gatherings and intimate dinners! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really pleased with my visit to Famoso! I took my mother out for dinner, and the environment was perfect for our little catch-up. We shared a Margherita pizza, and it was bursting with flavor, especially due to the quality mozzarella used. The garlic flatbread added a nice touch to our meal. I really appreciated the staff, who were welcoming and prompt with our service. All in all, I’m glad we tried this pizzeria and I would definitely recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Famoso was memorable! The ambiance was ideal for our date night, with just the right lighting and soft Italian music. The pizzas we ordered were just exquisite—crispy crusts and well-balanced toppings. We also tried the mushroom risotto, which paired wonderfully with our meals. The service was attentive yet relaxed. We appreciated the staff's warm manner, and took their recommendations to heart, which paid off. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience on my latest visit to Famoso. While I enjoyed the pizza very much, there was a notable delay in service that left us waiting far too long. The server apologized but it felt chaotic, and I didn’t feel prioritized as a customer. Even with this hiccup, the flavors of the pizza saved the night. I know the authenticity is there, and I truly enjoy the pizza's unique characteristics! I hope this was just an off night. Worth another try! " (*Curated Review*)
