Let's see.
The thing about Pizza, lately, is it's heading towards the real, authentic, non-traditional10 pounder variety they make in most of the usual haunts in town.
The best of those, is still Spiro's on 17th Ave. S.W., in my books.
It's been there since I were a tadpole, and I'm a Big Ole' Bullfrog now, Baby.
Noticing how there was a lot of buzz and tingle about this place on here, myself and a lady chum hit it on a Friday night about 10 to 5.
Service, as mentioned was a bit quirky, you actually have to go up to the counter to order, but after that you're granted your very own 'server'.
The service then was prompt and friendly and the place had a really friendly vibe.
People bring their kids, but I never heard a single squawk... the place is bustlin' so much in such a short time, the little rodents were mesmerized.
They had beer and a good variety, and for desert we both screamed "OINK!" and had 3 scoops of Gelato each.
But I can tell, yer' just holding on by your fingernails waiting to hear about the pizza. Right?
OK.
I LOVED the whole experience at Famoso, it was pleasant as could be and about the only thing that didn't knock me over the back yard fence was...
You guessed it.
The PIZZA.
They were good...quite good,(*we ordered two different ones to split), but I found it really strange that they had them to the table in about 3 minutes.
Cooking thin crusts is an art, and here?
It wasn't QUITE happening.
I'd give the food a 7 and the experience a 9.5.
The place was so crazy by 6 that the washrooms are downstairs and there's even tables in the dungeon...those were packed too.
I've tried Una, and it's fantastic and a nice Italian market on 1st Street called Guiseppe's makes fantastic little pizzas that are thin as can be and oven baked. Thankfully it takes more than 3 minutes.
They're bursting with flavour but don't TELL anyone...
It's a well kept secret.
