REVIEWS OF Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria - Market Square IN Victoria

Sarah Black

Excellent pizza, good happy hour menu.

Brian Leung

Good

Vanessa Dias

They can make many of their pizzas vegan, good pizza, priced well, and five'ish local beers on tap - tables are well spaced out and ceiling is high so it's not too loud in the restaurant.

Rob Black

Really great place for pizza. Came here with family our 2-year old son during Victoria, BC, vacation. While I wish the pizza was bigger (although it wasn't too small either, probably just a healthy size), it was extremely delicious!!! And the staff was very, very friendly. They showed my 2-year old son around the kitchen and gave him dough to play with on his own, pretending to make pizza. Thank you!

Daniel Mills

I have been many times, great food and service. The gelato is fantastic

Megan Steffens

Great food. Slightly expensive for what you get.

Chris N.

Ordered online. Two gluten free pizzas due to allergies in the house. Only one came gluten free... even though we paid the extra for the crust. Now having to deal with allergic reactions. Not trust worthy... not worth it....got ripped off.... better places to order from in town without the worry if you have allergies..

We only had the tomato soup, but it was delicious, the environment wonderful and the staff very nice and accommodating! Will come back!

Lisa Abbott

Great place for a quick meal in Victoria. Enjoyed the variety. Service was lacking but that is more a statement of staffing shortage than the establishment.

Peter Gilbert

(Translated) I chose this restaurant at skip the dishes. I was very satisfied with the recommendation from a friend. The clerk sent me a warm greeting and scones. Thank you. If you have the opportunity, you must choose famaso again! (Original) 我在 skip the dishes 选择了这家餐厅,来自朋友的推荐,非常满意,店员送来了贴心的问候和烤饼,谢谢你们。有机会一定再次选择famaso!

Its the best pizza ever. Fresh dough and ingredients you can add on tons of stuff that you like to make it a super pizza. The service is great and the take out is super fast. Its Italian that's for sure????????????

kenneth bruns

Great food. Mediocre service.

Annie Kingston

ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GO HERE!!! MAKE SURE THAT THE MANAGER IS NOT WORKING!!! We had a female come to us who was our hostess or maybe the manager subbing in and she was absolutely horrific to us. The pizza here is fabulous. I went once and everyone was so friendly and the food was so good!!! However, I go a second time and the person who was going to check our vaccination saw my friend and immediately accused him of being the rude person the night before. We’d also had a problem with her earlier when my sister made the reservation. She called and at the start the woman on the phone was nice and helpful. When she found out my sisters name she started shouting at her over the phone. Anyways when the same woman accuse my friend of being a terrible person I defended him by saying, “I don’t want to be rude but that was very unprofessional. You shouldn’t accuse someone of being a rude person like this. You could have asked him if he had been there the night before first.” And then she told me that she didn’t have to serve me and to get out! Not to mention my friend that she accused was wearing a rain jacket, a mask, and a tuque!!! You could only see his eyes and hands!! 10/10 would not recommend anymore. After all this if you still want to go just try to confirm that the hostess isn’t a rude woman.

James Ida

Excellent pizza but probably only a treat since it is a bit expensive.

Rajiv Vyas

Oliver Cowern

The tomato bisque soup is very good. Pizza dough is very tasty and the sauce is yummy! Good place to visit in Victoria.

Chris Metcalfe

I tried their Pizza, but I did not like it

Beautiful, top quality pizza right in the heart of downtown. The well thought-out food is complimented by warm and welcoming service. This pizza stands out from the rest with their unique recipes and traditional preparation methods. I can never bring myself to go to the regulars like Pizza Hut or Dominoes again. I gave it 4 stars as the Fhungi pizza is a bit bland, but don't let this stop you! Also great for gluten free eaters!

Erik M

Incredible food, great service, and amazing atmosphere. The food here is out of this world good no matter what you order you wont be disappointed I have had pizzas, salads, soups and it is always great. The staff is super helpful when you are indecisive. Its very relaxed and cozy in here. I have been to this one and the one in Abbotsford and they both are great. They also both carry local craft beer which is Awesome.

Tracy White

The only place in Victoria, and possibly all of Vancouver Island, that serves REAL pizza.

Karim Kholeif

Pizza is fantastic

Jo Bullock

Famoso is consistently good.

Jakob Wilson

Would have been perfect but it was so noisy I couldn't hear my waitress and apparently she couldn't either as she missed a part of my order. But otherwise good place. Kudos for having a change table and high chairs.

Robert Chamberland

We eat here often but haven’t been in a couple months due to COVID. We went today and the staff were wearing masks and the tables were nice and spread out. Service was as excellent and food. was delicious as always. We had Mozza Balls to start and tried the new thicker crust pizza. The Cavoletti is my favourite and go-to order.

Valerie MacNeil

Food quality has declined, prices went up, and service was really bad even though we were 1 of 3 couples on the restaurant.

R P

Handmade base, fresh ingredients and lots of options for your meal; 9 inch, 12 inch, salads, meal combos, all combined with friendly service, makes this a good pizza stop off.

Jamie Totten

Fairly good pizza

Carla C

Good selection. Crust a little doughy

Genevieve Deschamps

Had a simple margarita pizza & red wine but the service was fantastic. Kai was excellent! Exemplary service, great suggestions, very impressed!

EMEL SENEMOGLU

The best pizza in Victoria! Great atmosphere and amazing food are made even better by amazing service. This place is one I can't recommend enough. They have gluten-free options and great authentic Italian food. I highly suggest the olives too. :)

Angela Kuzior

Darby Marshall

We have visited Famoso twice in the past 4 months. The first during the COVID lockdown, with only the manager and the pizza chef, and yesterday we dined in. Both times the experience was safe, the service was solid and the pizza was tasty. A little error on the order was quickly addressed with apologies and a gift card for the next visit. Well done Rocky and team!

Amir Khatibzadeh

Scott

Italian beef was delicious.

Brian

Great pizza and great service!! Happy this business is still open during this time and they even delivered it right to our car !!! ????

Allan Lumsden

Decent food, great service.

Kelly Harwood

I just love their pizza and sangrías <3

Deia K

The pizza is ok but too many flies, poor sanitation environment and the service is not very well.

Victor Mitchell (TextiledClothing)

Leonardo D'Amico

The food is stellar, the staff friendly and the atmosphere casual. I have always received great service, but I was extra impressed last night. I put an order for pick up on my way home, it took me longer than expected to get in to grab the pizza, it had sat for an extra 15 mins, without comment or complaint from me they took it upon themselves to make me a fresh one! And they had me out the door with an oven-fresh pizza in less time that it took me write this review!

Matt Bartlett

Delicious pizzas and pasta at great prices. The staff are awesome and I've never had a bad experience here!

LANFRANCO MUZI

Justin Chum

Had been highly recommended by a friend. Went Happy Hour, good for someone new there. Great overall menu.???? Had the HH Marg Pizzetta(7") and Caesar(full). Added pepperoni and mushrooms for $2.00. ???? With a HH beer and House wine, overall bill with tip under $30. ???? Was very happy overall (food/service/price) and will return again. ???? CON: got packets of pepper with excuse COVID when asked for fresh cracked pepper. Pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese came in little containers. ???? If staff only using mills there is no excuse for not providing fresh cracked or put in containers. Alot of places do mills during COVID.

Erin Esser

We recently had a fantastic cast dinner Famoso! They managed to turn out twelve pizzas in less than half an hour and treated us to gelato on the house. We got a reservation for 15 in no time with exemplary service. Very impressed.

John Fothergill

Worst service I have ever had. My son and I came in for a quick bite. Was seated promptly but that is the last we saw anyone. The place was busy but we must have been there 15 minutes without anyone coming by. Just a bunch of kids running the place. I think they manager must have forgotten to train them or something. They spent plenty of time chatting amongst themselves and playing around. We walked out and went the Mexican restaurant down the way a bit. Way better service. Don't waste your time here.

Edwin Aybar

Goodness on a round pie. Try the sauces.

Roy Chalifour

Great service, excellent atmosphere but got sick almost immediately after eating the korean bbq pizza , essentially ruining the rest of our holiday as i was bathroom ridden for rest of our trip.

Travis Hill

we ordered a couple of pizzas to go. Service was fast and helpful, but we felt that food was mediocre, with average-low quality and lacking flavour. we were very disappointed

juan pablo gonzalez

The sandwiches and caprese salad are a fine combo.

Candice Peterson

Yup

Matthew Lee

Dine in

Robert Piddocke

Had margherita pizza and Caesars , and both were top notch (and so was the service).

Nicolas Zottarel

Love the service!!!!!

Delaney Johnson

Caring team, amazing menu and memorable pizza

Abbie Wilson

I would have given this a 2 but our server handled herself well. The wife and I ordered a couple Trash Pandas beer, after 10 min and a new server she came over to tell us they were out of that beer. Then the pizza and caesar salad arrive, I notice there were no croutons in my $5 salad. I asked and she said that she would bring some over. 10 min later and almost done my lettuce and very little dressing she comes over to inform us that they're also out of croutons, but the kitchen agreed to make us some garlic bread. We finish our meal and then the bread, with no garlic on it, arrived. It's too bad because I had heard good things about the place and i was looking forward to it.

andrew alan Grant

This is a must if you're in Victoria

Richard M. Allouche

Awesome staff, very attentive service and always delicious food, thank you Famoso!

Joel Williamson

Bottom of the pizza was burnt to the point that's all you tasted. Waitress says that's how it comes. I get it, neapolitan pizza is supposed to be rustic and charred but this was beyond that. Paid for the pizza and left it, won't be back.

Arthur Tiv

amazing, quick service! super nice staff and delicious food. the caesar salad is incredible and the nutella pizza is a must :)

Owen Edwards

Such good pizza and the BEST service!! Rocky delivered our pizzas to us on the Whistle Buoy patio. I’ll be ordering again for sure!

Antonio Silva

A casual dining experience, with consistently good service and food. We love their pizza options and they are the closest thing we have found in Victoria to authentic Italian Napoli pizza. It does get busy on peak days, so reservations are recommended. Weekdays and non peak hours are fine for walk in and a casual bite.

compuPUnk

Excellent food. Our go to pizza place, love the thin crust. Amazing flavors and menu variety. Highly recommend.

Francesca Serrao

David Worrell

Nice environment and friendly staff, we had some good food here with reasonable price. The cauliflower dip is a bit salty while the pastas taste light and refreshing.

Cesar Rodriguez

My husband and I really enjoyed their vegan pizza. Kai was serving us and he was amazing! Extremely helpful and friendly that made our first experience wonderful here! We will definetely come back!

Benjamin Kason

Ordered from Skip due to Covid. Delicious pizza with lots of dishes to choose from. Closely resembles what you get from Italy. Wings are meaty and pamersan dips works well with the flavour. Cheesecake dessert was on the small side.

Andrea Zotelli

We ordered a pizza for pick up and Rocky brought it right down to us at the Whistle Buoy patio. The blue cheese pizza is SO delish. Will definitely be ordering again! ????????????

Rod Salem

Food was good, but the service was awesome.

Arian Jafferi

Too slow to order food via app

jesflyaway

There's something wonderful about a fresh baked oven pizza.

John Keri

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.

Braulio Antonio

Good pizza, relaxed atmosphere and good service

Jasmine Snyder (jasmineshinga)

Brian Smith

I really like their gluten-wise crust and the huge variety of flavours. I've been multiple times and will definitely be back.

Jason Belyew

Really bad service. Didn't even give me water during heatwave until 10 mins into it

Naomi Dawson

Good food and service. Great prices and happy hour prices. I could get the same thing for half the price on the happy hour prices. Good seating, size of the restraint and great service.

Paul Weeks

Pretty good pie if you like the traditional Napolitano Pizza. Not a romantic date night kinda place. Solid choice for a late-night hankering.

Clemens Rettich

Wet sloppy pizza with a few toppings doughy crust and a half bowl of soup. Much better in town for the cost.

Reid Johnston

Not bad. Just uneven. Pretty good pizza ok cocktails. Everything tilts a little toward generic.

Kurt Anderson

Been my regular haunt whenever in Victoria, a must-visit!

Damian Herman

We headed in to Famoso as we had heard about their awesome thin crust pizza. What a beautiful pizza oven. The management has taken great efforts to ensure the safety of their staff and patrons in this time of Covid. They also created a new take out window where we saw regulars and Skip the Dishes drivers being dealt with professionally and in a friendly manner. There is a new outdoor area, where patrons can be served food and drink. We can't wait to try it! We ordered two thin crust pizzas - leftovers are da bomb - and headed home. What a treat! They were flavorful, crispy, and well worth the cost. I recommend this tasty Italan restaurant. Don't forget to enjoy some gelato while you are there!

Ana Woo

Food was good but the meal took 45 minutes to get to us and not many people

The Bistro

Came all the way from Boston,. Boston Mass USA. Harvard... M I T to have the greatest pizza here at Famoso way to go

Jay Matlock

Damn fine thin crust pie! Good choices for vegetarians and they substitute for items you do not dig. Plus the pizza comes in like 8 mins which is awesome and yes, you can handle an entire pie to yourself, they are not THAT filling :D Good stuff

Terry K Bell

The food was very good, prices were fair and the staff friendly. The restaurant and washrooms were clean.

Ayla Conklin

the service is poor and slow the food is not good not recommend to go

Finbarr Donovan

The best pizza this side of Naples. I've never had anything less than stellar here. I wish they'd stock avocado all year round though.

Alba Spahiu

Amazing pizza from the ingredients, sauce even the toppings tasted fresh. We just happened to stop in after a trip through the little china town. So glad we did this is the best pizza I have had. If your looking for some truly authentic pizza this is the place to go!

Kellie Lapshinoff

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The tomato sauce is so fresh and so good! And the dough was soft and baked to perfection in that special pizza oven. Service was 100%.

Devan Birley

One of the better pizza places In town. One of the first places I've been to In a long time where I was looking at all the food coming out and how good it looked. The server was a bit forgetful, but very nice. My only complaint was the tiramisu came slightly frozen and ruined the meal a bit

Chris Beveridge

First time we tried to eat there we had no luck because it was weekend evening, and place was very crowded. Our second try was much more successful! Food is delicious. Bisque and pizza were amazing. Service was great. Also for downtown prices and portion sizes were quite generous. Only one complaint- place is popular! We will come back for sure!

Philip Howard

Amazing, been coming for several years and I'm yet to be let down.

Glenn Letham

Great pizza choices, healthy salads, and even several pasta dishes on the menu. We definitely recommend this one.

Sebastian Goernhardt

Great pizza and great service

Gozde Yagiz

Evangeline Zhang

Not for me, sauce left a lot to be desired

Rebecca Cumming

We had the prosciutto wrapped mozza balls. So good and filling! The pizza was delicious and the waitress was super friendly and gave my daughter free gelato for her birthday. She loved being able to play with the pizza dough.

Veronica Greer

The pizzas here are really excellent, possibly the best in town.

Jimmy Gi

Great thin crust pizza

Chris

Pizza at Victoria square with great customer service. We had the prosciutto/arugula and the prawn/pesto. Both white, no tomato sauce, classic style pizzas, delicious with a pint from whistle bouy brewing. They delivery the pizza to your table at the brewery!

Antoine Monod

Myself and my boyfriend came in for a little lunch date with a Groupon. Alastair served us and provided us with exceptional and efficient service. He was kind and lovely and when the remaining total of the bill came to under a dollar, said he’d found a spare toonie and didn’t want us to pay! It truly made our day to have such an amazing dining experience topped off with a lovely gesture like that. 10/10 Alastair, you’re amazing!

Steven Ranger

Have never had a bad meal from this restaurant. The pizza or the sando's are both a must try!

S O

Famoso is now open for dine in! The manager is quite awesome and the good is pretty great too!

Dom Lebel

Really great pizza, lots of vegan options, great service, and I will definitely be back several times!

Thomas Webb

Great aesthetics and pizza! Pretty much all you need in life.

Janice Louise Miller

New menu (for me at least) greatly expanded selection of very good food. The Sicilian pizza was very nice. A little thicker crust with a little more toppings. Still a delicious crust but a bit more satisfying. Great service. We will be back soon.

Ori Elraviv

I love this place! One of the best trattorias/pizzerias I’ve ever eaten at. Every time we come, we are never disappointed!

Marina Ribecca

Ambience is good at famoso market square with highly professional staff front and back Fresh dough pizzas always Adhering to limited capacity as per covid 19 norms

Marcelo Rocha

Awesome pizza with some interesting creations and very friendly staff. There was even some live music playing.

Giancarlo Klemm Camilo

Great pizza, good beer selection on tap, atmosphere and wait staff are awesome.

Sandra Jones

Rocky is INCREDIBLE, he delivered the pizza right to us on the Whistle Buoy patio. The pizza is perfect every time.

Regina Akhankina

Our group of four had so much fun at Famoso. Our server was hilarious and, despite being very busy, still delivered personal service. The food was delicious. We had meatballs, cheese balls, dips, unique pizzas and pasta. The drink specials were awesome too. Thank-you Famoso! We cant wait to come back!!!

Kai Miller

Wow.... I just had the tomato bisque and Margherita pizza....way better than I had hoped.....delicious !!

Justin Black

Kids loved it. Adults too. They forgot to slice my pizza but I didn't care.

Michael Braedley

Food is tasty. Food came out a bit slower than expected. Overall still a great place to dine in.

Lois Krause

We've had a bit from their entire menu and it's always delicious. The service we had was great - and even with only a few staff.

Alejandra Muñoz

Really good pizza def recommend

Lee Pittaway

Great wood oven pizza, and nice menu.

Ben Altair

Great spot for good Italian style pizza!

Patrick Blair

Ahmed Sachwani

We sampled old and new -- a margherita and a korean bulgogi pizza. Both of them were incredibly delicious. Our server was very funny and made it an enjoyable evening.

Dwayne Scallion-Pond

Awesome

Tristan Graham

Closest I have come to NY Pizza from Manhattan since moving here.

Michele Archibald

Nice place..service was great. One of our pizzas was burnt on the bottom and soggy dough. Had it been cook right it would have been so tasty. It was close to closing time so think they were rushing to get out and go home...just saying.

Chris Lynch

Amazing food. Excellent service. Try the dolci and banana desert

Dana P

The service was great. The food... not so much. Watery pizza, boring salad and pricey for what it was.

Oliver Conn

Clean and friendly with good pizza!

Mark Johnston

Mike Needham

Nice italian pizza

Kat F

One of my go-to pizza places but I think you have to pay for spicy oil now and you didn’t used to have to pay for it.

Tara Jackson

Ordered takeout. Pizza was burnt (had to scrape the bottom and pick black crust off the top) plus crust was soggy. How is that possible? The meatballs were fine but that hardly makes up for it. Possibly the worst pizza I've ever eaten. You need some quality control in your kitchen.

Lisa Cottier

Just had the best experience ordering take out! The service during the phone call was great, and they advised the pizza would be ready in 10 minutes. When I got there, I was immediately helped by someone at the bar. Payment took less than 15 seconds overall, during which they brought out the pizzas. Margarita pizza was delicious, great sauce, the basil taste really came through, and it didn't have too much cheese. The prawn pesto pizza was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Cannot wait to come here again! A+

Megan Little

Great pizza great flavor amazing crust

Claire Verhagen

Excellent authentic Italian pizza and pasta. I was in Naples Italy two weeks ago, the pizza's at Fampsa Neapplitno are almost exactly the same. Light, wood fired crusts and delicious, fresh toppings.

Jason Dane

One of the best pizza place at downtown area. Make sure you eat fresh in the restaurant, those open oven pizza doesn't last very well.

Daniel Andrews

Amazing birthday celebration at Famoso last night, thanks to the restaurant manager, Rocky! Thank you!

Sarah Kamalzadeh

Disrespectful, made us wait 1h and then told us they won’t have any space tonight

mike demone

Delicious thin crust pizza made in the open kitchen in front of guests. Very good.

Ainsley DeSouza

Mariah Pelz

Great pizza and so happy delivery is an option.

vince lombardi

Very good food and well made cocktails...excellent side caesar salad to go with a deliscious pizza. Will come back for sure.

Lewis Lexter Yap

The pizza was fantastic, and the service was excellent. Lots of choices. Expensive, but not overpriced and worth every penny.

Txomin Hermosilla

Upon receiving my pizza it was completely soggy! Uneditable.. might as well had noodle pasta it was so disgusting. Alas this review won’t let me post a picture....

Christiaan Laureijs

Always enjoy the food. Excellent serving staff. Much better to straight from the oven than delivery or take out.

Chris Boonar

Got a couple of pizzas as take-out from here with my girlfriend when we were in town. I had a Primavera and she had the Roasted Cauliflower pizza. Both were delicious! Also had some Tiramisu for dessert that was really good! The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well, even knowing that we weren't staying. Recommended!

scottish trainer

Service was excellent as was the food.

Anuschka Steigemann

Amazing pizza, perfect crust. Hand delivered down to our spot in the square near by. 11/10

Martin Rayner

Wish it was a bit cleaner looking and the staff can be hit and miss. But the pizzas' we've had over the last 4 visits have been good.

Mark Baker

I love the atmosphere and ambiance inside the restaurant. Absolutely amazing service. I flew in late Thursday night and needed a place to eat around 9pm. I ordered my pizza but somehow the order was lost and I waited 45 mins. Without any hesitation they picked up my entire bill and apologized profusely. It was a delicious pizza. I went back that Saturday before flying out and not only did they remember me but they thanked me for coming back after my previous experience. It was another delicious pizza and all of the staff were so very personable and friendly, taking time to chat with me after I recieved my order. Next time I am in Victoria I am coming here first thing, they really know how to create a positive experience.

The pizza wasn't the same as before... I ordered a Margarita with just a little bit of cheese... Even I ordered extra basil... It was just a couple more... The dough was burned I had. Avery bad experience last time...

The pizzas are amazing and so is the gelato!!! Excellent quality and service and definitely not overpriced. Recommend it 100% ????????

Lane arndt

I have heard good things about this place from my host daughter but after how they treated her tonight on her birthday, I will never step foot in there. I have never heard of an owner treating future and returning customers so bad. The owner was accusatory on the phone with my host daughter when she called to make a reservation just because she had the same name as someone who was there the night before. Then she accused a young man of being rude the night before and he wasn't even there. Not sure if she was being prejudice because they were young adults and she had a bad experience the night before but it is no reason to be rude to others. When my daughter went to his defence, she refused them service and wouldn't let them in at all. You can have the best pizza in the world but I will never recommend your place to any of my future host children or my friends or family

Eduardo Suarez

Had the plant-based pepperoni deluxe. Delicious! Especially the sauce and crust. Dealt with Rocky. Super friendly and professional.

Stephanie Raymond

We were a group of 8 and had the worst experience in our life. The pizza was not even cooked then after changing the pizza we all got such a bad food poisoning and we are still suffering. Looks like their hygiene is very primitive and the washrooms were not inspected. I do not recommend this place at all..........in fact we will take legal action. 4 days later based on the request of 'Luca' from Famoso retaurant - We tried to send email. Their email is is invalid!!!!!!!

Hamed Ghanei

Good food and alright prices for downtown eats.

Pax Frias

We ate here mostly because all the other places we passed by were either very busy, or uninteresting. Glad we did. The pizzas were perfect, and the spiced chili oil they provide was just right for dipping crusts.

Edward Ross (Edward_YYJ)

Great neapolitan pizza - flavourful crust - good local craft beers

Dyl Dup

Awesome pizza and delicious appetizers and drinks! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Randy White

Old world feel. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff and awesome food.... Dessert highly recommended...

Sabrina Lundquist

If you have dietary concerns with pizza, check this place out! They have great vegetarian, gluten free & dairy free options.

James de Boer

I just had a delicious lunch special with tomato soup and Margarita pizza for lunch. They started cooking my pizza upon arrival to keep it fresh. You know it's always the challenge and anxious to pick up right on time especially pizza - now I don't need to worry about it! Tomato soup is so flavorful and pizza is so fresh with delicious mozzarella cheese :)

Carly W

I have literally spent $250 here this past week alone and today ordered and was told 15 minutes so I waited it's now almost an hour later I have missed an appointment who's cancellation carries a penalty of $125 and when I ask how long it will be I am told it's not even made and the manager is giving me The death stare needless to say we won't be back

Nicole Quinn

Authentic. Great service ????????????????????

Dan Politano

Great pizza, some of the best Neapolitan pizza is Victoria

Mike Pfleger

Nice crust, but bland. Take out was ready in 15 mins!

Joel P

If this looks like an absolutely delicious Ceasar salad with home made dressing, add prosciutto crisps, at a steal of a deal (always, but even more so when you come at happy hour) - that’s because it is!! I always enjoy my experience at Famoso and have, believe it or not, yet to get past the salad to even enjoy the pizza!

Julia Inkster

Website says they are open till 10, but upon arrival they said they close at 9!!!!

Black Fox

Stepped in late one night in a town of closed places and got phenomenal service and good food for a fine price.

The pizza was amazing!!! Best I have ever had! It was gluten free too!

Great pizza and great staff. Fast service

Christopher Carnie

Excellent, made to order pizza served with a smile. Loved the crust!

Dallas K.A.

They have diferent style of pizza and very cozzy place

Anthony

Famoso's Margherita is the closest to the real thing that I've had in north America. That in itself is worth the five stars, despite some oddities (like putting chicken on pizza) which I'd put down as concessions to the local taste that are …

Cory Schreyer

Loved it!!! Service and food AWESOME

Phil Le Vesconte

A Jafferi

It's because of the crust.

Jordan J. Caron

Went mid-week, for dinner. Restaurant had customers but wasn't very busy. Ordered a bottle of Prosecco when first seated, after 15 minutes of waiting the waitress returned to tell us they had none left, and took a replacement drink order. Another 15 minutes passed after ordering the Margherita Pizza, still no drinks or replacements, so we explained the situation to a passing server, to be told our drinks were "sitting on the bar" and she would have them sent over. When our waitress returned, we were basically told off about their staff shortage, and the fact she (our waitress) was new. At no time had we complained up to this point, just tried to find an update on our order. Pizza arrived, possibly two tablespoons of tomato sauce, topped with four small, half-leaves of basil. Zero interaction from our waitress after that. Was almost surreal in the rudeness and lack of service, and the payoff was adequate at best. Certainly disappointed, as we are very close to the food scene in Victoria, and although we understand the current labour challenges, failed to understand how we, as customers, were personally responsible. With the famous Il Terrazzo directly across the street, I doubt I'll be visiting here for Italian Cuisine again.

Nice to be able to customize and still get classic neapolitan pizza!

Rob Dunsmuir

I really love this place. The pizza is incredibly tasty. It’s nice to get a break from the typical thick crust pizza with red sauce. Famoso has a lot of interesting pizza options. The drinks menu and non-pizza options leave a lot to be desired, so I’d stick with the pizza.

Shafagh Alikhani

Just a bad place. Don’t order anything but pizza, and even that is not too recommended. Extremely slow and clumsy service

The food was very reasonable for the price. Just a heads up, there is a mandatory 15% tax for tables greater than 6 (nothing wrong with that).

The pizza is terrible so watery and soggy

It is a beautiful place to enjoy dinner, the location is really good, but the services in the restaurant aren't perfect as where the restaurant is located. I’ve been sitting and waiting for my foods more than one hour, and nobody come me say what’s going on .. it isn’t a good idea to keep customers waiting about an hour and say nothing.

cody sutton

Waited 30 minutes to be seated, another 20 minutes for water, then another 20 to order. Wasn’t busy. Host was just on the phone the entire time (same call, not taking orders). When they finally came to take our order, they told us they weren’t making half the items on the menu. Left and got Mexican next door, where the service was great.

Overpriced for what it is . Dominos quality but half the slice is just crust, disappointed people

Good sized pizzas and amazing tomato soup

Been about 3-4 years since we last came here. Mainly because we had a kid and she doesn't like pizza. So we took a break from this restaurant until today. Had some couple time so tried them again for a date. Things have gotten even better! I am so happy they changed their ordering system. They have servers and table service now. (No more ordering from the counter). Lots of upgrades and menu changes! Kids menu looks fantastic with pasta and mac n cheese! Enjoyed their pizza today with a homemade soda.

Dune Boon

Really great staff. Great food. Great portion sizes!

Crust is amazing and set pizzas are good but would recommend make your own pizza. But seriously. The crust.

Paulo Freitas

Not much varieties!!!

Johnny Costa

Delicious unique pizza

Candie Schneider

The food was good, the service was a different story. Our simple order (2 pizzas no changes from menu, and 2 lunch specials) for a party of 4, took almost 1 hour. Our server told us they were short staffed - though other tables who arrived after us had eaten and were in their way before our food arrived. Our drinks sat empty until we hailed the waite over. No offer of compensation or earnest apology.

Daniel Van Heyst

We started off by ordering the heart of artichoke and cauliflower dip, this was very tasty and the highlight of our visit. Before the starter arrived at the table we were ready to order our mains but the waitress never came back to the table. The appetizer arrived and we ate it and the waitress still had not returned to the table to take our pizza order or refill our drinks. When she finally returned we ordered a pizza to share. The pizza came out about 15-20 minutes later- very burnt!!! I asked the woman that brought out the pizza if she sees many pizzas this burnt she said “no” and took it away to get a new one. At this point we had been there for about an hour. 10 minutes later the replacement pizza came out- it had no cheese on it. At this point my wife and I were frustrated and decided to leave. We paid for our drinks and the appetizer was free of charge for the inconvenience. It was very disappointing and frustrating. The support staff were very good.

Mike Zakus

Great food and excellent service. Felt like each staff member was the owner. Thank you for easy, quick family lunch!

Bob McDOUGALL

I laughed out loud when I saw my pizza. Apparently 'Italian ham' at this place means 'lunch meat'. I am very familiar with Neapolitan pizza and realize the cheese is much less, but there was none on my pizza. Oh, and artichoke hearts, 4 pieces for the entire pizza. Don't waste your time, for the money you'll do better at Pizza Hut, seriously

Eric Faust

Awesome pizza in Victoria! I was not expecting to find this.

Samer Alkhatib

Terrible staff, would not return.

James Sutherland

We had Pizza and salad. Both are tasty

Katherine

SERVICE: Good service and friendly staff. FOOD: food is good and there are a lot of light items. The pizza is good. The dough has a good consistency and is not sugary, it has that good bread like flavour. The sauces are a nice consistency and a good flavour profile that works with their topping selections. ACCESSIBILITY: The entrance is ground level and a single pull door. The floor is level and tile. There is bench seating and free standing tables and chairs. There is a large accessible bathroom with rails. No gantry.

Aariz Mawji YT

When we first got there and asked for table but no one showed us to our table so we were very confused and just stood there for a while til we finally seated ourselves. Also we had two servers both friendly and nice but the second one brought our cake boxed unlike other restaurants where they take it out of the box and light the candles. Unfortunately that day had forgotten to bring lighters and the server was no where to be found in the 5 minutes after the cake was on our table. And other servers would refuse to serve saying that they go out and call our server. So we awkwardly took the cake out of the box in front of the birthday man and let him cut the cake with no lit candles :@

Alex Rerecich

Delicious pizza???? Filthy washrooms????

neha sharma

Food was not seasoned, tasted bland. My husband, cousin and I went in for late lunch and ordered pizzas and pastas but everything came out tasteless. Also bread that came with pasta was as hard as a rock. Got charged for a refill on a drink that said 1 refill... service was not great ????

Fair price for a really good, cheese-melting pipin hot pizza! Regular size was more than enough, and $5 Caeser on Saturdays is definitely gonna make me come back.

Kelsey Bouchard

Gone downhill since last visit 1 yr ago. Manager traipsed around joking with staff, instead of engaging customers and ensuring good experience. It's not that hard.

W Anders

We visited yesterday and found it as great as it always is - the staff was incredibly welcoming, tables were clean, pizza seemed like it was seconds from oven to table. They've got a new section of "thick crust pizza" which was a nice surprise, very filling. 10/10!! Still in our top 5 restaurants in Victoria.

Pizza is awesome!!!

Danielle Ronin

Food was delicious. However once we were seated it took about 30 minutes for a server to even approach us to take our order. Service was disappointing.

My husband and I were in Victoria celebrating our anniversary, last week. I was in no mood for pizza, especially since we've been to Italy and have had the very best but the smell drew us in. To our surprise, the pizza here was VERY good. It was authentic and delicious. We met the owner, Luca who was very charming and welcoming. He gave us the best seat in the house and topped it off with dessert on the house. The Margaritas were marvelous and the salad was scrumptious. The restaurant, coupled with our experience was truly a 5 out of 5. We look forward to checking out the Famoso here in Toronto.

Awesome pizza ,excellent cocktails and our waitress at table was just amazing.

Great friendly service and really enjoyed our servers suggestions. Brussel sprouts on pizza who new this would be a fantastic choice. Oh our server did.

Craig Vanderlinden

My wife and I were sharing a pizza at this location last night. The food was great and it pains me to write such a negative review. However, reviews must be based not just on the food but the customer service as well. My wife and I overheard the manager make a very inappropriate joke that included the word "Retard" which caught us off guard. Our daughter is mentally disabled and this comment really hurt us. Someone who makes jokes that cross the line in ears reach of customers should not be in a position of authority. We asked for his name and were told it was Cory. We will be telling our friends not to go there either. Had eaten there a few times prior however we will no longer be back. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to leave such a review as I have never been inclined to write one before this. I hope this complaint does not fall on deaf ears. Regards, Todd Martin

Dave Neal

I ordered two pizzas. They both had floppy soggy dough in the middle and was overall extremely chewy. After the second peice that I tried my jaw was tierd from all the chewing. The flavours were ok but nothng to write home about. I have eaten pizza from many places around Victoria that were excellent for the same price or less. Both pizza's ingredients were sparse and the cheese seemed low quality. Not good.

Kristy Fallon

Gluten free crust available! I felt the pizza was a bit lacking in cheese, so be sure to ask extra cheese????

Hi, I'm a famoso lover but yesterday was a horrible experience. My mom was visiting and we took her there and a) the food took forever to come b) the pizzas were so so bad the dough was under cooked. We ate the food as we were for fasting but were not well after it. The only good thing about our experience was the server who was very polite and nice and apologetic about the delay. He said the ovens are new.

Ronin B.

The food was great, the server was very friendly and helpful when we had to make substitutions. The view is nice and the location is convenient. Plenty of parking within a few blocks.

Amazing service! Great pizza!

Shi Hu

절대 가지마세요! The clerk's attitude was really unpleasant. He cleared the dishes before the food went into my throat. It seemed as though he had asked us to leave quickly. Is it because I am Asian? I don't know.. If you have similar cases, let me know

Ian Rice

Always quick food and tastes great

Ben Petkau

Changing my review after our recent takeout experience. Ordered prosciutto wrapped mozzarella balls and San Andreas pizza. First, came with no napkins or cutlery so literally couldn't eat the mozzarella balls. Sauce was bland. Pizza was awful. Avocado was literally black it was so over ripe and not edible. Barely any chicken and also bland taste. Will not return.

Ingibjörg Ósk Jónsdóttir

Like others who have reviewed this place I also found that the food is good but the service is terrible. It takes 90 seconds to cook a pizza at those temperatures, but then why does it take SOOOO long to get an order. Three times and each time the wait was longer than it should have been. I will chalk it up to service. Try it and see if you find the same.

Barbara Trollman

Great location, nice space, pizza napoletana, nice side salad. Yep.

galadzi sewid

Waited forty minutes to order while the waiter chatted on the phone. He was on the same call the whole time, definitely not taking an order. When he finally came by is the first time we learned they weren't serving any pasta or sandwiches, so our kid had to pick something else. The place was not busy. We left hungry- clearly they didn't want our business. Posting this from the Mexican restaurant around the corner where we've had great service- wish us luck! Edit: Cafe Mexico was great! Attentive waitress, excellent food, she helped me find something that wasn't spicy, prices the same or better- definitely come here instead. "I could eat this all day every day" - kid, chicken taquitos

Seeing that I frequently stop by Market Square to charge up my laptop and other devices, I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy pizza now and again from the nearby Famoso, which backs onto the square’s fabulous courtyard where I sometimes work during the afternoons. Happy to report that each experience has been a delight, thanks to the friendly service and absolutely delicious food. Pretty much the ideal Neapolitan-style, in my opinion, and definitely worth checking out if a thin-crust pizza, slightly charred to perfection, topped with a generous amount of fresh, quality ingredients is what you happen to be craving.

Laidbackdave

Great food, great people. My favourite pizza place in town. Cavoletti and Spicy Thai are definitely my favourites, but every one I've had has been delicious. We go here as often as we can.

Jason Kelly

Great place for lunch! Food was great and everything tasted fresh. Good quality for the price. Service was ok.

Steve Frost

We had our first meal out since mid March and the dinner at Famoso Pizza was fantastic as always. Rocky, the manager, went above and beyond to accommodate our family of four. Since they have to operate at reduced seating capacity due to COVID-19 social distancing rules it would have been better to reserve a table. We got lucky because there was a cancellation. Great friendly staff, great dinner!

Rana Mahdy

Delicious pizzas and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere! The service was great and they even have a few vegan options which were awesome!

Michael

Very good pizza

Devon Aaroe

My first experience with Famoso was in Edmonton and it was spectacular and by far the best pizza I've ever had and was an establishment i frequently 2-4 times a month. Upon mocing back to Victoria, I stopped in for lunch and waited 15 minutes at a dirty table that a server sat me at before leaving. Tonight I ordered via Skip the Dishes (again did this in Edmonton and quality was excellent) - I was disappointed. My salad was light on the gorgonzola cheese for $11 and my pizza didn't include all the toppings it was to have as well as the dough being dry, over worked (tough). Half the pizza was somewhat edible and the other half was so dry and tough. I feel that the height of the dough was short by @ 1/4 inch. The kitchen seemed to just toss the toppings on. One piece smothered in mushrooms, another in onions. Just not an enjoyable experience and my rule is i give an establishment two tries after an initial bad experience, alas I won't be back. Which is harder in me than you as your prucitto wrapped mozzarella in marinara is spectacular and the Famoso pizza concept is exquisite. You let me down!

This is not a baby friendly place. The hostess told us it would be hard to seat us because we had a stroller. So we left. Those kind of places suck.

Throughout the Corona Pandemic I've down both dine in service as well as take out, and Rocky and the rest of the staff have been absolutly fantastic with service as well as maintaing social distancing/sanatation through the use of maskes on both front of house staff and kitchen staff as well as through disposable menus and Rocky offering to drop my pizzas in the back of my car when picking up take out and touching the machine for me so all I've had to do is call and tap!

Honestly, best service! The manager, Rocky, came and brought out our Pizza to us at a local brewery patio (@whistlebuoy) and was above and beyond nice! Could not recommend more !!!

Damien

Best pizza I've ever had

J. Peters

I can't speak for the chain as a whole, but compared to my experience 2 or 3 years ago at locations in Jasper and edmonton the quality here is quite poor. This may be laziness on a corporate level, or just at this location, regardless I wasn't impressed. Prices were high (over 20 dollars for many of the pizzas) and the quality+quantity of ingredients failed to make up for it. The crust was doughy, bland and thick; with hardly any char or crunch. (Felt like it had been pre made honestly) Toppings were very small and few in number. Sauce was fine, but cheese tasted cheap.

Jon Kilimnik

Excellent food with fresh ingredients. Even brought pizza dough for the kids to play with while we waited for our food.

Lana Lenore

Nice place. Take away is not the fastest (around 20 minutes for a pizza), but dining in has efficient staff. The pizza is not amazing, but the margherita pizza tastes best. The place is quite loud with a TV always on, so not recommended for a quiet night.

Christian Jensen

It actually tasted good and the service was great, just very expensive considering you get the same quality/selection as you get from Pizzaria Prima Strata or 900°, all three are (non-venetian) Italian stone-fired pizza places. The cheap, thin crusted pizzas are $19+ for what would be a filling meal for an average Westerner. You're paying the premium for the location. Heart of Downtown Victoria.

Van Figart

If you want real authentic italian pizza baked in a brick oven with wood, this is the right place.

Scott Allan Neufeld

Awesome pizza and great service!

Derek Warner

Pizza was excellent. I don't often get good neapolitan pizza at restaurants here in Victoria so it was nice to see what this place offered. I like my pizza with a hard bottom crust so it could have been cooked a bit longer, but the flavours were there. Staff was friendly and knowledgable.

Bradford Sinclair

Best pizza authentic pizza, may have to wait in line at peak times.

Gillian Mann (ThatCanadian)

Really nice waitress, meatballs were so good.

LC

Perhaps, I am ordering the wrong thing! I have given this place a try a couple of times now, and both times, I was disappointed. That being said, I ordered pasta both times and not pizza! Maybe the pizza is the thing to get. I just found the portions of pasta were so small and not worth the price. I guess the pasta tasted okay, but it wasn't worth the amount of money you pay for it. Also the flat bread was as hard as a rock. I wanted to try the pizza at some point, but now I am hesitant to, as my experience this far has been less than stellar.

Zac Connor

Rocky (The Manager) is an absolute gem! We ordered pizza while sitting at Whistle Buoy Brewing and he even brought it down to us! Hand delivered! Not to mention the pizza is unreal. excellent experience.

Very tasty neopolitan style pizza. Good variety. Been here many times and food is very consistent. Environment is very casual and the place is usually busy. There is a good amount of spacing between tables, so it is comfortable no matter how busy. If you use "skip the dishes" online ordering, be sure to refer to the order number when you pick up. Dinners are not in your name.

Oh, what do I even say.. you go there with a hungry tummy and they feed your tummy, heart, and soul! Its not just the food, which by the way, is lip smacking delicious, its the way they talk, laugh, and serve. Rocky is sheer delight! He makes sure that you don't just eat.. he makes sure you enjoy! We got in there hungry bears and came out rolling (cos, we stuffed our faces till we could no more) and smiling with full hearts!

Had a great time at Famoso but not in Victoria. Looked at their website that says they are all open. The sign on the door says you need your vaccine card and the doors are locked. Google maps says they're closed, and Their phone message claims that it is closed for renovations. Very topical to Victoria. No information is ever correct nor reliable.

The best pizza in town. We go once a week.

The service was lovely but the pizza I ordered (vegan pepperoni deluxe) needed more flavour. My partner was happy with his meat pizza.

Liam Liam

We really regret having ordered pizza from this place. We ordered a 12" Margherita pizza for $15.38 that came with 4 flakes of basil and barely any cheese. The pizza was 90% tomato sauce and dough. Not worth the money at all. Feel totally ripped off. Other places in town like Prima Strada or The Joint or Brickyard pizza is 100 times more equal in terms of getting what you pay for.

Stella Brupbacher

My best restaurant over all, desserts are on top dayum

Chad Roberts

Well, different times different days different moods, different challenges, etc. But my takeout person didn't acknowledge me at all until I acknowledged our transaction half way into it. The bartender did, but then the other one took over without any greetings. Lacadaisically tossed my pizza onto the counter and was mostly just concerned with me taking my order quietly and getting out. Bummer. edit: they called me to say someone would be getting in touch to offer me a gc to replace this garbage and overpriced pizza but, not surprisingly, no one did!

Carmen Maldonado

I've been to different famosos before and they never disappoint but this place was just not good . I asked for a pizza with daiya , they didn't have any in stock .. ok understandable I'll forgo the cheese. So I get this pizza sans cheese and it is just awful. The tiniest scraping of sauce, soggy doughy crust. I am not one for wasting food so I ate it anyways, but not once did a server come by and ask how it was and then we waited so long to get our bill. Which was horribly horribly overpriced for what I got. Not impressed and won't be going back there again.

Really enjoy the pizza and the service is good.

Zahresh Walji

The McDonalds of "gourmet" pizza. Fake wood fire oven should be an immediate red flag for anyone who enjoys authentic Italian pizza.

Arguably the best pizza in downtown Victoria, though the atmosphere is pretty average and accordingly better to just takeaway.

Famoso serves up some pretty good thin-crust pizza. It's great to see the oven going, baking the pies up in a very traditional style. I had the Margherita, and it was good, but a little on the dry side. Tasty nonetheless.

Great authentic pizza. Whoever tasted pizza in Naples will be taken back to memories of a good pizza. Important to let people know that this is different than the typical American and Canadian pizza. It’s thin crust but lots of flavour. The 4 cheese for me is the best.

David Horbas

Great combination of salad and pizza (try the lunch special) Vegan friendly.

Daniel Parent

Good pizza

Rich Bloomfield

Delicious authentic style pizza perfect for a rainy Monday!!

Amie S

Fair pizza,pasta

Nick Nixon

Although the pizza was delicious and fresh, it was partly cold; although, it was -2°. So, there's that. Looking forward to returning though.

Sarah Secret

Half of the ten wings we ordered are burnt, pizza was nothing special. Had to wait 45 minutes prior to receiving our seat then the waitress proceeded to tell us that they are closing soon and rushed us to order our food.

Absolute worst experience I’ve been to at any Famosa. Been to many locations on the mainland, but this downtown Victoria location had such bad service and horrible organization that I will not return nor recommend. It’s sad when a franchise fails to follow the success of its predecessor and the food falls flat.

Craig Fulton

I haven’t been since they first opened but was glad I came back. I’ve been meaning to try their happy hour but just haven’t until last night. We enjoyed the meatballs, Margherita pizza which is their Monday special and the Pesto prawn. Everything was excellent and it made me want to come back again. I’ve been trying a lot of the other local pizza places but Famosa is back on my rotation.

Wendy R

Not a great experience here. Pizza was not great, can get better pizza anywhere else and that says a lot. Service was slow and we were the only people on the restaurant. There was a man with computers and paperwork at a booth next to us. He was always starring and trying to listen to what we were saying. Overall, poor experience.

Karen Gibson

Ate there Sunday night. The service was friendly and speedy. So many pizzas to choose from. We had the Quattro Fromaggi and the 4 meat Siciliana. Make sure to order the parmesan dip. Soooo good!

Dariush Sotoudehnia

I was a little disappointed to be honest, the place had a lot of potential. The dough was good, the ingredients were good, the sauce was good. But the actual preparation left something to be desired. The overloaded sauce made for a soggy mess and the ingredients were just hastily thrown on top rather than spread out evenly.

Chris Wirth

Delicious! Affordable! Good caesars!

navpreet sandhu

Great authentic pizza. It is a chain but the quality is good. They have a strange process for ordering where you go to the front to order then sit down for the server to being you your food. I still felt obligated to tip 15% but didn't get the full service. I did a groupon deal last year - $15 for $30 worth of food - it was a great deal.

Mina L

The pizza was blackened on the bottom and tasted burnt. The toppings were barely hot. There are lots of great pizza places out there, I will try somewhere else next time.

Small portions, they didn't offer kids menu even when they had at a lower price plus ice cream included. Otherwise the attendant was nice. They have vegetarian, gluten and dairy free options.

Leiyla farm

Felt like we were sitting in the foyer at the bus terminal. Dreadful decor & ambience. Worst of all was the big screen tv that nobody was looking at or listening to. Get rid of the damn thing! Service was good. Pizza was just so-so. We won't be back. There are many more pizza places serving better pizza in a much nicer setting.

James Edwards

Really good pizza selection. I have only had the chance to try about a dozen of their pizzas so far, but have yet to be dissapointed. Their ingredients seem fresh, their crust is thin yet flavourful, and their staff was friendly. This is a good place to bring your friends and family down for food and drink, or even coworkers. The atmosphere and selection allow for almost anyone to enjoy this place.

James Schultz

Great food, and they're following COVID guidelines to a T. First time in months we've gone to eat out and I'm happy we chose Famoso!

Lynn shortt

Famosos' pizza reminds me of Italy. The dough is neapolitan style so crisp yet it has a bite. The woodfire adds the right amount of smoke flavor and a good char. The toppings are premium quality. I have had other items from their menu but this is always the pizza I crave.

Erik van Maren

(Translated) The pizza tasted very good, a large selection of dishes, a friendly atmosphere. (Original) Die Pizza schmeckte sehr gut, große Auswahl an Gerichten, freundliches Ambiente.

Christine Broadhead

(Translated) Pizza almost like in Naples, totally thrilled as an Italian. (Original) Pizza fast wie in Neapel, total begeistert gewesen als Italiener.

ELIZABETH IBARRA

(Translated) Was a little too spicy but otherwise good! Friendly service, cozy decor (Original) War eher etwas zu wenig gewürzt aber ansonsten gut! Freundliche Bedienung, gemütliche Einrichtung

Most delicious pizza ever and the staff were lovely!

Joshua St.Gelais

Food is good, but parking is horrible, and our vehicle was broken into while dinning there (not directly there fault, but its a poor location). Maybe order delivery, but not worth the hassle or risk to go there.

nicolas hanwell

Good Pizza. Nice atmosphere.

maliha sajjad

Had a great supper at Famoso, scenic spot right in the heart of Victoria. This is a wonderful place to take kids, before the meal they gave the kids doe to play with. They have a nice large clean family bathroom to use. Food came out super fast! I had the tomato bisque soup hot and delicious as was the pizza! Also the service was spot on our waitress was absolutely wonderful! It's amazing how filling the pizza is. You look at it think it's not, You'll be pleasantly surprised by it! Definitely wouldn't hesitate to return! Thanks for the great dinner Famoso!

Fumika M

Very fast, attentive service and really good pizza - chewy crust is delicious and just right. Ambience unsophisticated - come here for the pizza. Very central, lively atmosphere outside, no worries about safety that would make any sense to me.

Jenn VH

The best pizza bar none! The General Manager was on the floor and came to our table and welcomed us. He made a great impression with our guest and us. He was polite and a very knowledgeable about the menu and he's good looking too! I believe his name is Marcus, what a great young man! Highly recommend Famoso Victoria! We will be going back time and time again!

Stan Cutler

Really great service and pizza! Staff was more than friendly.

Cory Keepence

Excellent food and service. Very authentic Neapolitan pizza... No Spumoni (Best kind of Neapolitan) gelato though, unless you order pistachio strawberry and chocolate and mix them together :)

Craig Basham

Pavel Husek

Had a dedicated gluten free prep area and lots of gf options! Food was good, and came out fast & service was good too!

Barry Burko

Good food and amicable service. If their crust were less soggy, it'd be a five star pizza joint.

heather dunne

Consistently good pizza, and never a problem for my celiac partner.

Michele Persano -The.GF.Calabrese.kitchen

I’ve been going to Famoso for years (different location) and I’ve always been very impressed with the food and service... this location is definitely an exception. Waitress was cocky and kept correcting me every time I helped my friends with the menu (what certain things were). We ordered 2 pastas and 2 pizzetas (small pizzas) and when the food came she had 2 massive pizzas and said that is was a mistake but wouldn’t charge us for it. Unfortunately she did charge us for the large pizzas despite ordering smaller ones and there were extra items on the bill that we didn’t order. The food was good at least.

Tricia Hatcher

Good variety of pizza toppings and other menu offerings. It's a great spot right downtown that is easy to walk, bike or drive to (there's a parkade only a two minute walk away that is free for the 1st hour and evenings and Sundays). Good place to also just meet for drinks, and kid friendly as well.

M G

Great beer and great service. Delicious meatballs and tomato sauce.

Satvir Guansing

Pizza is awesome!

Michael Bottlang

Love this place!

Chris Foster

Came here for lunch with a friend recently and was not disappointed. Famoso has a great feel to it, not super-modern like a lot of the places around there. The food was great, we had the Sweet BBQ Chicken pizza and it was delicious. The crust is surprisingly good! Coffee was great as well and was quickly refilled. The only real issue that I had was the coffee cup I received was not clean inside. When I pointed it out they brought me a new one fairly quick. Our server was great. I will definitely come back here with my family! Great job.

Ric Roz

Nice clean, simple Italian food. I lived in Europe and Asia and find the food in Victoria way too convoluted. Famoso gives me the simple tasty food I craze. LOVE the gorgonzola walnut salad and pizzas are lovely. Nice gluten free crust if you need it.

Janine Strong

Updated: got a reply after SEVEN YEARS. Is this good service? Mediocre quality ingredients, ok flavors, and the crust was soggy in the middle :(

Rachel L

Pizza is always delicious, nice atmosphere, drinks are so-so.

Tonya

Pizza was good but staff super friendly

Alana Merritt

The quality of food is opaqued by the service. The waitress was too stress and was rushing us all the time. We ordered a pasta, pizza and salad and after the pasta we waited for 15 minutes for the pizza and when it came, waitress didn't ask or offer to change our plates. Also, she didn't offer any complement for our pizza. There were a lot of time between orders to be served and in meantime she never got closer to let us know an estimate or be available so we could ask. Finally, when we paid the tip was already included in the bill (not sure if that is normal in Victoria but in Vancouver it is not).

Sherryl Verge

Excellent service and fantastic food!

Elyse Thompson

It was smokey (from the brick oven) and loud. I had ordered salad and it obviously had been sitting for a while as the lettuce was soggy. It has potential, but doesn't quite meet the prices they charge. Prima Strada is a better option for brick oven pizza.

Saul Latorre

Tried for the first time tonight and couldn’t be more satisfied. Staff was friendly, on point and knowledgeable. I could actually taste the quality in the food (which is rare these days) Do your self a favour and order the tiramisu... YOU DESERVE IT!!!

Shi H

This place is a joke, rotating oven seriously? This isn't authentic Neapolitan

Domenico Trombetta

Great food, great service, fast and super friendly. Wine and cocktail list is comprehensive with a lot of good selections. ???? You gotta try the Nutella pizza. Sometimes the music can be a little loud. The music itself is nice enough, but the volume, at times, can make conversation a little difficult.

Ralf Beyersdorff

It was okay.

AL

The service was really good, but we weren't overly impressed with the food. Our pizza crust was burnt, but the middle of the pizza was soggy. Good location, good service, not impressed with the pizza.

Sarah B

If you´re looking for a nice pizza, avoid it. Probably the worst pizza we ever had. Completely wet, everything falling apart when taking a slice, soggy dough. Really, really bad. We complained about it and they kindly made another pizza for us, which was nice, but the new one was the same, but with more cooking time, so I guess that unfortunately the chef just doesn't know how to cook a pizza correctly. The waitress is super nice tho.

Heather

Great pizza selection, excellent service and solid COVID precautions. No wait on a Thu around 5pm and the ingredients seem to be of really good quality. Prices are what you would expect in Victoria in general and to be quite honest around the same as a big chain that would feed you the cheapest ingredients they could find out there.

Jago Al

(Translated) The pizza should have been in the oven a bit longer. Ambience is similar to a station concourse. The pizza was a bit too greasy. The wait staff was very nice. (Original) Die Pizza hätte etwas länger im Ofen sein müssen. Ambiente ähnelt einer Bahnhofshalle.Die Pizza war etwas zu fettig.Die Bedienung war sehr nett.

Went here for dinner. Ordered two different types of pizza as seen in the pictures. They came super fast and they tasted really good. They also have a nice and diverse selection of drinks. It is a little bit pricey. Overall a good pizza place to check out in Victoria.

Tomato bisque was amazing! The pizza wasn’t as good as I expected it to be but service was great!

Kellan Johnson

For a place that specializes in Pizza they missed it by a mile. The crust was like a wet newspaper.

Michael Maurer

Delicious pizza great salads.It was very nice to have lunch here.

Jennifer Harber

Very good food. Friendly service. I recommend this Italian Restaurant.

Mahshid Z

Good beer, great pizza and salads! The service was also excellent. Thanks you!

Lexi Lupica

Solid choice for pizza downtown. It can very busy on the weekend, but the staff hustle and the food is consistently great.

tricia morrison

Our waitress, Lauren, is god sent. Absolute angel and best server. Doesn't even use a notepad and got it all down pat. She's the most outgoing and recommended great drinks and food. I went for the first time Friday night and already went back the next night. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Also I'm Italian (even a citizen) so I can vouch for this place authentically. One word: GO

zhang johnny

Excellent thin-crust pizza and salads! The staff is always friendly. It's a favorite for dinner in downtown, Victoria!

Megan Nahser

Their gluten free pizza is the best in the city.

Peter Green

The pizzas came out burnt at the bottom and on the crust and just tasted super burnt overall. We told the waitress and she was super nice and brought us a new one that was slightly less burnt.

The staff was great! Food is awesome as always

Denene Ewert

The food is spot on. The service is terrible. Our waitress asked us if we would like to move or leave after we had already finished our salad, because she had a reservation in a half hour. So we moved. The demeanor about it was horrible. Most places would be apologetic and help you move and we moved most of everything before she even helped. We then got the rest of our food, which was delicious. Then by the time we were finished we sat there for 20 minutes and my husband had to ask another waitress what was going on. We hadn't received a bill, or offered desserts. The manager was there. He did not come over our waitress came over after we alerted the other waitress, acted like nothing was wrong, didn't apologize. They have great food, pretty place....but no service.

MATASSI BEATRICE

Great place for lunch or dinner! Pizza is fantastic and the restaurant has good ambiance. Special shoutout to our server who was named Dana, she was kind, attentive and had great recommendations, she really knows the menu well. Have already been back three times, 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic artichoke and cauliflower dip, the pizza toppings were good but the crust left to be desired, it's texture was kind of rubbery or slightly undercooked. Dessert was delicious though with caramel glazed banana slices a la mode. Awesome location in Market Square too with a cute view of a gorgeous walkway and by the harbor, making it still worthy of 5 stars!

Manami Watson

Super delicious pizza! We go here for the lunch specials. We leave feeling super satisfied and full. Definitely recommended!

Jason Gillespie

I do like thin, wood oven pizzas! And this place does exactly that.

JASON DOODLE

I like the pizza here and the prices are decent considering the location. Only issue is service is sometimes slow because they just get too busy and don't have enough servers.

Taylor-Rae Bertoia

Best crust we've ever eaten. Hands down. Bonus that it's low-gluten- I wasn't sure if it would be suitable for my intolerance but it was actually okay!! The pizzas altogether were so delicious, and the server brought them out super quickly!!! their sorbetto is also yummy.

Y X

Amazing!

Brendon Restall

Loved their pizza and their space. Do not forget to add arugula on top of your pizza.

Melissa Lee

It was a nice place to eat and the food came fast but the pizza margaritha was not good. It was not crispy at all and very thin. The pizza was so soft I had to hold the slice with both hands. The pizza was so small I was still starving after the meal.

Todd Martin

Their salad & pasta are really really overpriced. The pizza is nice but I had a lot of better italian pizzas before. Over All the restaurant is nice & the waiters are super cute but its very expensive for the taste & I wouldn't go there again.

Awesome pizza and quick. Seriously one of the best I've tried in a while. Emily the manage was super friendly as well. Support downtown businesses :)

frank doesit

Ordered a pizza to go. Was 10 minutes later than expected and the pizza was handed to me stone cold. $18 for a cold pizza. Yes I was late but couldn’t it have been kept warm somewhere? Unfortunately it didn’t taste good cold.

David Fillion

Great location and view. Decent food. Pleasant service.

Michelle Ryman

Was seated by hostess and waited 20 minutes for a menu. I was right next to the server station the whole time, while they looked at me in amazement wondering what I was doing there. Clearly they didn't want my money. Food smelled amazing but ain't nobody got time for that.

Deborah Dorosz

Good place nice food and atmosphere just staff are not updated on all covid passport rules and we're asking me for vaccine proof for a 8 year old and a10 year old when the vaccine is only approved for 13+ year olds as of this time

Rebecca Simms

Amazing pizza, great service, lots of quality food for affordable prices

Dave Campbell

Hi, last night I went to famoso and my experience there was just awful. I called to make a reservation and everything was great except for when the waitress discovered that my name was Beatrice. The night before they received a bad review from another person who had the same name of mine and she was accusing me of being the same person and she didn’t want me to go to the restaurant. At last I managed to convince her that I was a different Beatrice but when we arrived there another thing happened. I was sitting at a table with a friend and my two sisters came with another friend. This friend was accused of being there the night before and of being rude to the staff (he had never been there before). My sister politely told the waitress that she was being rude and that she did the exact same thing with me at the phone and the waitress told us to go away. Don’t get me wrong the food is great but the staff was just so awful and they used the excuse that they were stressed to justify their behavior. We had a discussion also with the husband of the waitress who was working there and he wouldn’t let me talk. So, in conclusion I want to say that that their behavior was so unprofessional and I have never been treated so badly in my life and for certain I will never go there again.

Nicole C.

we absolutely loved the special

Nice pizza. Very generous with the toppings. And vegan cheese! There's also some weird toppings available, if you fancy adventure...

Fiat Look

Amazing Food, Amazing Atmosphere, Great customer service, feel at home, love this place and my regular spot here!!

Sophia Hong

Pizza was excellent as was the service. However we ordered a small salad as an appetizer and it was very small. This would be my only complaint. Salad could have been larger for what the price was.

Sarah Healy

Excellent service ALWAYS!!! Thank you to the amazing staff at Famoso!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Lyle Tash

Great selection of local beers, and the pizza is outstanding. Crust is perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of crispiness and chewiness. Being cooked for 90s at 900F, or order was ready almost immediately. Excellent flavour on the spicy Vesuvio pizza we had. Service was efficient and friendly. Very reasonably priced, particularlyfor the quality of food. Open, airy atmosphere makes this a great place to spend some time

Shelley J Mack

Best Pizza in Victoria, BC hands down! Great atmosphere - feels like you've travelled to Europe, great location downtown, very affordable, I've been 3 times now and always have fantastic service. So far we have had the BBQ Chicken (favorite), Vesuvio (Spicy!), and the Margherita (A pure and simple classic). The salted caramel dark chocolate gelato is the most flavorful gelato I have experienced (I have tried a lot of gelato in cities around the world), and the tiramisu is second to none. I can't speak highly enough of this place!

Adam Thorne

Great food amazing atmosphere and the staff are awesome

Peter Zhang

Stefan

Went for lunch. It was our first time. Rocky our waiter was very helpful and attentive. The dining room has large windows with a great views of Jonhson and Warf st. We each had a Pizza. The crust was the best I had ever tasted. You can taste all the fresh toppings in every bit. The Price was a little high,but the flavors made up for it. I would definitely go back.

Colin Wilson

I ordered off skip the dishes. It was prepared in good time. I was disappointed with the pizza. I ordered the margharita. I love the style of pizza however, the dough was under cooked and doesnt seem to crisp well. The classic tomato base is extremely bland. Reminds me of eating straight tomato paste.

Really tasty charcuterie board and pizza! Super nice staff too :)

Sussex Davis

Good place to check out if you like thin-crust traditional italian style pizza. It is part of a chain of restaurants. Much more like a family style rather than somewhere to go for an intimate meal.

Sarah

BBQ chicken pizza is ok, 3of5, Cesar salad was not good last time I had it. Dressing was too minimal. Waitstaff is very nice. (aug_17).
