This is our second time ordering within the last few months and it has been terrible on both occasions. We have always had the same order. We ordered a 15' Vesuvio last night and it was absolutely disgusting. We had two slices and threw out the pizza. The meat tasted like it had gone bad, pizza was undercooked, and no chili salt. Waste of money, $40 in the garbage. I would never go to this location ever again. Drive into the city to another famosos, this one has gone downhill.

I’ve ordered skip 3X. Each time I order the Margarita pizza. First time, it was basically folded in half literally looked like it was made blindfolded had just sauce and a small spot of cheese? ., I liked the flavour and the crust was good tho. Second time same order but added extra cheese. Arrived stone cold, and still no cheese. Tonight attempt #3 I added cheese again and some prosciutto. No cheese again and possibly one thin slice of ham all on the one side of the pizza and it was cold again. I think it’s a cook problem tbh whoever is cooking just doesn’t care. That’s unfortunate.

The quality had really gone downhill, the pizza was cold by the time we got it to our table and there was only 2 other tables in there at the same time as us. The server was great, Always a smile. Overall I wouldn't go here again unless I wanted a quiet place to catch up with a friend.

We have gone here many times and it’s usually excellent. They have have new owners who don’t seem to know how to cook. Our pizza came out burnt on the bottom. Tasted like a bbq pit. I don’t think they clean the oven. My mozza balls were ice cold. We were just going to leave but the new owner begged us to let him make new pizza. We did but got it to go. Same thing burnt pizza. We threw it out. What a waste of money. Save yourself the $ don’t go here.

I ordered the Wiseguy Italian Deli sandwich through Uber Eats. The sandwich tasted wrong, it honestly tasted like armpit. I took one bite and threw the entire sandwich away because I figured I’d get sick if I ate the whole thing. Also, the sandwich used to be really good for its price in the past. I remember the portion being big enough to make me full. But now it seems like it shrank significantly. I can’t believe I paid 22 dollars for this sandwich.

My wife and I enjoyed our visit here. The restaurant has plenty of parking and easy access for all. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was nice. Most importantly the food was tasty. We were with a large group and our server was great and were taken good care of. My wife had the chicken 🍗 and waffles 🧇, I had the Wise Guy Bennie. We both loved our meal. Everyone in our group also liked their meal. We will come another time and definitely recommend coming here

Long time Famoso customers | Abruzzo pizza is our favorite pizza. Two of the last three times we have ordered from Sherwood Park location we received the wrong pizza. 🙁 after a long week. Order pick up pizza and look forward to enjoying at home. Tonight - a manager argued with us that it was an Abruzzo pizza but that their supplier changed. Unfortunately instead Italian sausage the Abruzzo pizza now has regular ground beef on this pizza. It is a different pizza. It has no flavor. And the manager argues that it remains Abruzzo. Extremely disappointed in the pizza and in the response. Arguing with us when you know the pizza has changed. Really. Be better. We will be trying out new places for pizza.

Orderd a spaghetti rose and Ceasar salad and added chicken. The chicken was like it was boiled. The portions extremely small and paid over $40. Famoso has really gone down hill from our last time ordering. Food in the photo is my daughters $24 dollar pasta. not even half full, in a box the size of my hand. And my salad that cost almost $16 plus tax, service fees and tip just as small as the 1/2 box of extremely small portion of my daughters pasta. Very unhappy with our order

Really disappointing I hadnt been in many years, and changes to the franchise were really disappointing. The food was ok - my kids loved it, and I can say it was fine. Nothing wrong with it, nothing special. And thats the disappointment. They used to make wonderful sandwiches and excellent salads with fresh pesto that I would crave all the time. The menu has been reduced and simplified, removing any of the things that made it special. The staff was nice, but not great. They didnt know that they were all out of cheesecake toppings until they brought dessert, and didnt offer to either bring a different dessert or comp us for only providing plain cheesecake. Not a huge deal, but still disappointing. Washrooms desperately need reapir and update. Only one tap worked, both toilets were visibly falling apart. Washroom smelled and wasnt very clean. I wont be returning.

Sad day, used to love this restaurant but had to walk out today. No excuses, not busy, one waitress only that was clearly untrained, two guys that had Famoso shirts on and a laptop at a table that I can only assume were managers/owners were unbothered by 3 out of 4 tables had no drinks or food. We knew this was a sign of trouble. Waitress dropped some menus after being prompted by a kitchen worker and we never saw her again. We bailed and went to Boston Pizza, old faithful. Poor management clearly, this place is doomed to fail, absolute shame.

Empty restaurant, other than one other table at 5:30pm on Sunday, but the waiter decided to fill sauce containers instead of dropping off menus and taking the drink order. Then dropped them off, but didnt take the drink order for another 7 minutes. So, now its 17 minutes or so from walking into a restaurant with one server and 2 occupied tables. This business has gone down in service, quality and I dont feel the love I used to have for this place. I hope they improve quickly or I hope the next restaurant knows how to stay in business. This was one of my favorite restaurants but isnt any more. This is the third time I have been disappointed in a row after they changed ownership. The new owners need to pull it together, sell it or close. We walked out.

Myself and a friend had come in, we both ordered the pizza combo and neither of us could get through half of the small 8 pizzas. I work in a restaurant for 2+ yrs and know that sometimes an item is not to taste but the problem for both myself and my friend was that the pizzas we had gotten were straight up nasty and un-enjoyable. I only managed to finish half of the small pizza (even after asking for more greens to subside a sour taste, and they gave me lettuce for my pizza??) and my friend had about two bites of her second slice before she didn t bother to touch it again. Unfortunately we were denied a partial discount on the pizzas which is what really made the experience so poor, esp after mediocre service. The tomato bisque and curly fries we got for our sides were pretty good, but not good enough to go back for.

★★
August 23, 2024

Food quality has gone down significantly for the increased price of items. Only a single server for the entire restaurant, which was not busy the night we went in, but was still not attentive to needs. At no time was any member of our family offered refills of any of our beverages. Unfortunately this used to be a family favourite restaurant that we won t be returning to again. Better options are available in Sherwood Park now

Not great. We were looking forward to some authentic Italian pizza and Famoso Sherwood Park has really gone downhill. Ordered the Margherita pizza and there was hardly any basil on it and what was on the pizza was burnt to a crisp. The second pizza we ordered was black on the bottom as well. Bruschetta was lacking flavor. Hummus was good. But the flat bread they both came with was dry. Would not order again. Very bland and overall a disappointment. There are many more options for good pizza in Sherwood Park. Too bad though, Famoso use to be a favourite.

A great place for a taste of Venice, Italy with pizzas made in the Italian style. These are not the North American pizzas with tons of cheese and meat so if youre looking for something to fill that junk food craving on the way home from the bar you wont find it here. But if you want as genuine an Italian pie as youll find this side of Rome then this is the place for you. They also have an Italian - North American compromise pizza in the European style but with more cheese, you know, to kind of ease you into the other style. :-) Parking: Lots of spots.

After we were seated it, we waited 30 minutes without a server coming to our table. My husband went to the kitchen and asked for our order to be taken. Once the order was taken, it took an additional 30 minutes until our food came. When our food came out it was overdone and not hot. When we were done our meal no one came to our table for another 20 minutes and we had to ask a server to come over and bring us the bill. It was a terrible experience and we won t be coming to this location again.

May 23, 2024

Unfortunately, I do not recommend this location. We waited over 30 mins just to call over a waiter to order drinks and the restaurant wasn t even full. By the time we got our food, the pizza was over cooked and the pasta dish was undercooked. It was a very disappointing experience and we will be avoiding this location in the future.

I came here to pick up some pizzas and there was a sign in the store about a promotion where if you purchase a gift card you get a $10 gift certificate, and I asked the person if I could please have that promotion, and she said it was over. I asked if they would still honour it because they left their sign up, but no they wouldn t. Next time I will go to the downtown location where they don t pull stuff like this.

The atmosphere at Famoso in Sherwood Park is lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for both family dinners and casual outings with friends. The staff are attentive and quick to ensure that every aspect of your visit is enjoyable. What really stands out is the food its simply amazing. From their signature pizzas to a variety of other menu options, each dish is prepared with care and bursts with flavor. Whether youre a regular or a first-timer, Famoso offers a consistently excellent culinary experience that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.

Host (girl) was awful. Didn t greet, stood there for a long time, she started arguing with the cook?? Then wouldn t let me pay for a while. Having service like that in the front is embarrassing.. Parking: The best thing was the parking. Which doesn t have much to do with the restaurant it self. But there s good parking here! Cus no one goes here !!

The food was good. The service was not. We had our order taken and one checkin after barely a bite and then did not see our server until we piled our dishes at the end of the table and waited for 5 more minutes. A refill on drinks would have been nice. We did not have alcohol so maybe that is why there was no checkin. There were lots of people working. Even one who stood at the greeting podium staring at the soccer game on the TV. I even tried to get his attention with no luck

December 23, 2023

Absolutely terrible. The service? What service? There was absolutely no warmth, personality, or communication through our whole experience.

Famoso is my daughters favorite restaurant. I work in west Edmonton and live in ft Sask. I got off work at 630, drove to ft Sask to pick up my daughters and then drove to Sherwood Park Famoso. 50 - 60km trip. We got there at 7:38. Website said they were open till 9. We were refused sit in service. The rude waitress said we could only order take out because kitchen closed at 8 while the manager looked on. We said we knew exactly what we wanted to order and would be quick. They said no and kicked us out. NEVER go there. Brutal rude staff. Just want to go home. We have been there many times.

I came here to eat with my family and enjoy our outing. The place is ok but the tables and floor were dirty upon seating. Perhaps a standard that is accepted here. Second, we only had one server, barely getting enough work done being so busy, while we witnessed one of the managers standing around looking at his shoes as my family and other guests were waiting for our food. I physically saw food being brought out while the manager stood there not doing anything but looking like a lost puppy. I never go out of my way to write review for my experiences, but I feel the need to inform other guests of the reality of service at this particular famoso. Do better.

We wanted to order some food for delivery, but usually dine in at Famoso. I was shocked to see the prices drastically higher on skip the dishes than on the menu in the restaurant. Tomato bisque soup $9 dine in $12 for delivery 1/2 caprese salad $ 11 dine in $ 15 for delivery That s a $7 increase in my order alone, not to mention what the rest of the family orders. Skip the dishes is also charging a service fee AND a delivery fee. I understand that third party delivery companies take a cut of the profits, but for prices to be raised by $3-$4 per item is actually very disappointing. I know I can pickup the food, which is no problem. I just can t believe the extortionate prices. Such a shame, as we do love the food here, but can t support a restaurant that hikes up the prices this much for exactly the same food. Will be going with a restaurant that keeps the prices consistent across the board in future.

Really good pizza for a pretty decent price.

December 23, 2023

Update July 11, 2023. I predict this location goes out of business. Things got back to normal with great pizza again for a while, then suddenly there is barely any cheese on the margareta pizza. The waitress said we should come on Wednesdays when they have their best cheff in. A couple weeks later, same thing, hardly any cheese so we talked to the waiter and he said they were told to reduce the amount of cheese but you can pay more for added cheese. So now the margareta looks like pizza crust with tomato sauce. We cannot see any cheese. Its now terrible. PLUS, they dropped thier amazing Ceaser salad light oil based dressing for Boston Pizza style heavy mayo on limp lettus. Its aweful and we are done with Famosa. Update October 14, 2022. This location has new management and it is not going well. Was there today but left after 40 minutes with no food. We watched our salad sit at the counter for 20 minutes. The lone waiter was very innefficiant and confused. He kept getting people their beverages while our salad was warming up to room temperature. He brought this one table the wrong pizza twice and then was at the front for several minutes talking to the other staff. We never received our pizza or the room temperature salad so we finally gave up and walked out. Get a new waiter who knows what hes doing and doesnt say things like This is my lunch menue and this is my dinner menue as if he was the owner. Famosa WAS a great restaurant with the best pizza on the planet and awesome staff.

We ordered seasoned curly fries and they were awful...I dont know what they were seasoned with as they were incredibly bland and felt like they were rethermed from the frozen section in a grocery store.

The table was not cleaned before we sat down and our server barely cleaned it when we did sit down.

We stopped in for a late lunch recently. Its been a number of years since weve visited Famoso and in that time the menu has changed a bit. My wife and I were disappointed to find out that they no longer offered the Spicy Thai pizza, one of our favourites at Famoso, but at least they still had the Famoso salad. Unfortunately the Famoso salad wasnt as good as we remembered as it no longer had nice fresh cherry tomatoes in it, the chicken was under-seasoned, there wasnt much feta cheese and it just lacked the flavour that it used to have. Our children enjoyed their pizzas, as well as the Gelato that was included with their kids meals. We tried the Sweet BBQ Chicken pizza and added some buffalo sauce at the suggestion of our server. The pizza was quite tasty, but it wasnt the pizza we were looking forward to. I dont know if theres enough to really bring us back to Famoso again anytime soon, at least for a couple of years, that is unless they bring back the amazing Spicy Thai pizza! Kid-friendliness: Decent kids menu options and prices.

My family and I went here last Saturday and were seated right away at 4:30pm. The waitress didnt even give us menus until about 4:50. She then left without taking a drink order and returned some time later. There are no drinks listed on the menus so I had to ask what they had. Im visibly pregnant and look like Im about to pop but for some reason when I asked about drinks the waitress started telling me about Happy hour and pointing to the cocktail menu. I had to literally point to my giant belly and tell her that I cant have alcohol and that I wanted to know what pop and juice they had. After getting our drinks she then walked away again to tend to 1 of the other 2 tables with people at it, finished with them and then walked back to the staff area instead of taking our order. After ordering it literally took almost 50 minutes for our food to come out. We ordered a pizza, a meatball sandwich, and a kids pasta. All around the food was pretty good, but the service is SEVERELY lacking.

The pizza was so gross . It barley had any cheese and it was floppy soggy and raw . Its such a shame because Ive been driving by forever and wanted to stop in and I finally did and it was absolutely a disappointing experience. I will not be back

December 23, 2023

Apologies this review is not meant to hurt the owners or their reputation in Sherwood Park. I don t like writing bad reviews, however this was an exception as when you pay for good food the expectation usually is good food and not to grocery store bought curly fries and canned pasta sauce served on the pasta! Considering this restaurant has decent reviews it was on my list of restaurants to try out in Sherwood Park. It s a beautiful atmosphere but I was so disappointed with the canned pasta sauce taste in their Chicken Parmigiana & Pesto chicken sandwich was dry, tasteless, and flavourless.

December 23, 2023

My partner and I ate here last night, the establishment was not busy (maybe 3 other tables besides ourselves). Our service was decent but the pizza seemed off. Since we ordered a pizza that was non-traditional we assumed it was a fancy tasting pizza that just didnt please our personal taste buds. However, we boxed up the remaining and took it home for my partner to take to work for lunch the next day (even not the greatest tasting pizza can suffice as a good lunch). Upon opening the pizza the next day, the pizza had a fair bit of mold on it. Even if we had not refrigerated the leftovers (which we did), the pizza, if decent ingredients, should not have grown mold that fast. I called the restaurant today to let them know before serving any more of that pizza/cheese. They did not seem concerned and said would call me back after checking. Have not had a call back. Do not order the Cavoletti pizza for the next little bit!

My family loves coming to Famoso! The food, atmosphere and price point is great for our family. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our food tonight. My girls and I all ordered individual pizzas and could barely eat them. The cheese felt like mush and was sticky in our mouths. The tomato bisque was just as good as it s always been! I hope this establishment takes my and other recent reviews to heart and makes some changes. We would like to keep this in our list of favourite places.

Went there the other day and will never go back. The food was sickening. Processed canned sauces. They can deny it all they want but it is! The chicken in the salad is also processed and had a weird taste. The server was dressed inappropriately, bra hanging out and though she was no rude we felt as though we were not welcome. Never going back.

Oh boy. My sister and I came here today for a late lunch. We noticed right away the hostess / waitress didnt even welcome us or greet us... just a sit wherever you like . Several minutes before we got a menu. Then the same person we saw up front came over to take our order . No introduction so we never got her name . My sister ordered the build your own ( just basil and no extra cheese). . It came with NO CHEESE !! Mine was really good though. When my sister asked why theres no cheese or hardly any basil. The server just blandly stated she should have ordered the Margherita instead.. ouch . No follow up for dessert or coffee. We had to go to the front to pay the bill. I had to ask for a take out box . Terrible service . Would I come back? Maybe for take out but not to dine in.. but Id check it before leaving. Ive been to other famoso and the service was great..

This place used to be good when it was owned by the original family ..so sad very very poor service lights removed above the tables poor quality food dirty bathrooms So sad to see it go to shambles owned by some call center type folks if you know you know please stay away

The food was quite good but as we looked around we realized the restaurant was quite dirty. The floor corners were all dirty, windows by booths covered in greasy hand prints and the big beautiful pizza oven had dust on the top and all around the entrance of it. The waiter was very nice and did a great job and again the food was really good but they definitely need to work on the cleaning and getting a better beer system as it took forever for them to pore a beer from tap.

Update: Just tried the pizza at Paninis. Do yourself a favor and head a block down the street to Paninis instead. Service and quality was excellent. Order takeout here from time to time, always get the margarita pizza. Not sure if they recently went under new ownership, but tonight we ordered and our pizza had orange cheddar instead of fior-di-latte. Called to ask why it was made differently and the manager argued with me for 10 minutes without offering any explanation. Wont be going back to this location.

Hmmm....recent reviews seem staged??? NOT my experience. Go somewhere else for the costs of dinner these days. My experience from having gone to this famoso as my go to for years. This famoso was closed all summer for renoswas very excited to see it open this weekend. Went for an early dinner on saturday. Seems this was an ownership change. All staff has changed and for the kitchen it shows. Recent renovations ownership change/ staffing changes not for the better. First: Prices have gone up (relatively understandable) Second: portion sizes are down atleast 1/3rd. Third: Quality of ingredients is down. The proscuitto mozza balls down in size by half and the once amazing sauce has changed and tastes like plain old regular canned tomato sauce. The salad is half the previous size. The sauce on pizza was nil. The toppings on chicken bbq pizza was half. The walnuts in the salad were stale. I can say that after many many years of going here I will probably not return. While paying for the meal at higher costs small portions the lady couldnt care less that we noticed portion sizes are alot smaller and ingredients changed. Too bad. Was a go to. Maybe go to the jasper ave location instead. To the new owners /operators Do better. Very disappointed.

I wish I could give my experience 0 stars. I went in for lunch on 10/14/2022. It took an hour and a half before we got our food. We were brought the wrong food twice before we got the right food. Definitely should have a better organizational system so that people can get the right food in a timely fashion. I watched at least 2 tables walk out without getting food which I assume was because of the lengthy wait and I wish I had done the same. When we finally got the right order my salad had brown lettuce and was warm. The pizza was gooey and undercooked. Overall the food tasted like they were using cheap ingredients and service was terrible. After the terrible experience they didnt even offer an apology. The restaurant was also very dirty with multiple unclean tables and there was a counter full of dirty dishes at least 15 dirty plates and bowls next to where we were eating. We watched the waiter grab dishes off the tables and abandon them on the counter next to us multiple times. This lunch experience was terrible- I love Famoso but will never be back to this location as it was a complete waste of money.

Went there with a bigger group and was promptly seated. Do try their specialty soup, its to die for! The service was fast and the staff was super friendly!! My husband wasnt sure about what drink to order so the server recommended their Sangria and it was delicious!! They even gave my nephew a tiny pizza dough to play with and by the end of our visit, he was pretending to be their chef flipping the dough in the air mimicking them. Overall a marvelous experience and will definitely be returning soon!! Vegetarian options: One of the very few places that gives vegetarians a lot of options to choose from!! Kid-friendliness: Gave a tiny pizza dough to my nephew which was far better and engaging than the regular coloring sheets handed out at other restaurants!

This location is very nice they have great kind costumer service, quick, but the tomato bisque and the sauce In the mozza balls tasted off. It s not as Rich as the other locations I ve been too in Edmonton and in other cities. It has a bland tinny flavour, like they used canned tomatoes or not enough salt or something. It s off. I would probably go to another location in the future just because it was a little disappointing. The maragarita pizza was great though.
