| - I went here on a Friday night with a friend and it was pretty busy, we had to wait around 20 minutes for a table for two. I really enjoyed the décor and ambiance of the whole place as I walked in, it was very warm and pleasant.
Famoso has a weird system where you have to order your first dish at the cash register instead of at your table, but can order subsequent dishes and drinks at your table through your waiter or waitress. They explain what you have to do if you are confused, but they never really explain why they need to do it.
We decided to split the Mediterranean bread sticks, which are bread sticks that use half the dough of a regular size pizza, with dipping sauces. The bread sticks tasted the same as the base and crust of the pizza and were very soft and delicious, if a little heavy for two people.
I got an Abruzzo pizza which has sausage, onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella while my friend got the spicy Thai, a "new world" pizza with peanut sauce, chicken, carrots, bean sprouts, and peanuts. The Abruzzo came recommended by the waitress and was delicious, particularly the sausage. The Spicy Thai pizza was very unique, but I didn't think the carrot sticks really fit the rest of the pizza. It's a dish which has potential but requires more experimentation.
The service was very friendly and we got our pizza a lot faster than we expected.
Overall, it was pretty good value and I will definitely be returning in the future.
