Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria (Namao Centre) - Edmonton, Alberta

I love this Namao location! It’s close to home so it’s super convenient for our family. The food consistently tastes delicious. I appreciate the kid’s menus. Having two little ones it’s nice to know where we can go to find kid friendly dine in restaurants. The service here was friendly, ... attentive and knowledgeable. My family also enjoyed the music selections at this location. Even our 10 month old was jamming to the music! Wonderful lunch experience! Read more

Good authentic Italian style pizza. Crispy crust with yummy toppings. The music selection was good for all ages. The kids menu pizzetta is a good deal and can feed an adult as well.

Trying Famoso for the first time and the food is awesome. Great place and excellent customer service. I will definitely be back here.

I only tried delivery pizza and I can realky say they have the edge, they taste authentic italian pizza, there is no need for sauce bec its already very tasty. The salad is also super! Would love to din in their restaurant soon!!

So we decided to go to famoso for some Neapolitan pizza and to try out some pasta and their new addition the grand 16-in pizza. The restaurant is very nice and has the traditional pizza oven that is gas fired instead of wood but still very nice. The staff greeted ... us very nicely and found us our table and we proceeded to order. We decided on the Neapolitan traditional style and my daughter had the spaghetti bolognese and we ordered the big deluxe pizza more or less to take home. Our food came out within a reasonable time and I have to say the Neapolitan pizza was spot on and very tasty with a crispy crust but tender on the inside and a very nice tasting sauce. The The spaghetti bolognese was good maybe a little heavy on the herbs but that is my taste buds whereas someone who has not spent as much time in the kitchen as myself may not feel this way. All in all very good. The large 16-in pizza came out and looked good so I cut a slice and I checked the bottom up the pizza and it had a good crumb but when I bid into it unfortunately I could tell the dough was not all the way cooked and was actually pretty wet and still raw in the center. My server came over to ask if there was anything wrong and I showed the uncooked dough. They felt very bad and remove the item from our bill. They explained to me the new product brought in being a very thick frozen pizza dough I knew the problem right away. Those ovens are designed for a thin crust high temperature fast bake but introducing a frozen thick dough they have to turn the oven off and use the radiant heat to try to cook the dough all the way through which is wrong for this type of product as it should have another oven altogether. I do believe the staff tried their best to make a good product but unfortunately it is impossible with the thickness of the dough and being frozen and all the ingredients on top and I will not hold this against the staff but corporate should already have known this if they have any knowledge of cooking at all. All in all are dining experience was very good minus the large pizza which as I said I would not hold against the staff. So with this review I would highly recommend this restaurant with the traditional menu as the food is very good but I would not order the large pizza. So not taking in consideration the large pizza but the remainder of the items and our restaurant experience I would give them an 8.5/10 on the munch meter, it is definitely a place you should try out if you've never been there before.
