If you are in the Annex and want to have a sit-down pizza meal... not sit on a stool or stand in the street with a sloppy greasy slice of Za in your hand, Famoso is a good option.
There's lots of seating and I like the booths.
The servers are very friendly but the ordering system here is confusing!
* The menus are at the table when you sit down.
* You are supposed to write down your order or go to the cash and tell them what you want
* They open a tab and a server will bring your bill to you at the end of your meal
* You can request tap water at the cash, but shouldn't they just bring us water?
Are the servers there for smiles or service? Or both? Too confusing!
We started with the prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella balls for an appetizer.
It looked different than expected! Smothered with tomato sauce and some sort of crust/pita for dipping. The tomato was fresh and a bit tart. I sort wish it was more cheese and less sauce.
We split a sweet BBQ pizza. ($14) Good size for two people.
The crust was chewy and crispy. Lots of BBQ sauce, I think there was chicken somewhere and lots of tomatoes.
The affogato was good. Simple. Gelato with a shot of expresso. ($6.50)
Overall, I like this place. Sure ordering is a bit more work, but it's conveniently located, I can get a table when I'm hungry, and they have deals where you can get a movie ticket for $6 bucks with a pizza!
Also, they do have interesting toppings for pizzas and the dessert pizzas looked like a whole lot of deliciousness.
