Best Best Best pizza in life ok. From the sauce to the crust, I die. My favorite is the chicken parm. I lived in Norwalk for a few years before moving to Florida in 06. Finally, I have made it back for a return visit and DUHHHH, I had to go to my favorite spot. The crazy thing is, I'm not really into pizza but this stuff..:. This pizza... does something to me lol. I ordered a medium because well, why freaking not. 20 minutes later it's ready and so am I. I literally ate 4 slices (they are small slices) on my way to my grams house back in NY. I wish this places or something like it was back in FL but, it's not. The restaurant looks exactly the same. Rustic lol. The staff and friendly, dine in or take out. Who doesn't know about Famous Pizza, better get to know them, they are BOMB! I'm so mad I forgot to order a chicken slavocky salad ( I butchered the name and spelling) but it's a yummy yummy salad that one must try. Point... GO TO FAMOUS PIZZA. It won't disappoint! read more

The food wasn't really that good. First off we had the "garlic bread" which really wasn't even garlic bread and was just garlic butter on plain bread. had to send it back. The margarita pizza was decent but not the best. I felt that it could have had more spices. The Oreo "pie" that they call which was just a cupcake. Did not taste sweet at all and the cupcake and the icing on it was kind of hard. It's kind of ironic how they said "don't forget the dessert" when there's no dessert on the paper menu. You have to ask the which they only have 2 dessert which is just "Oreo pie" and "cheesecake pie" Plus the waitress didn't really seem nice or approachable and didn't even check up on our table to see how we were doing. read more

Famous Pizza House - This restaurant food smells bad and also gave me stomach inflammation. - Italian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

The pizza was very delicious. Stopped in from out of town before getting on the train and the size of the pizza left enough for me to eat the next day. The beer selection was top tier. read more

This was a place I dreamed of being able to visit again and eat everything I ate 30 years ago when I lived in Norwalk. This week my dream came true when I arrived at this pizzeria. I can say that the service was very good and the lady who served me was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the same pizza I ate almost every Friday when I lived in this city. Which hadn't changed at all, delicious as I remembered it. If I have something negative to say, it's the appearance of the place. I understand that this is a family business that has been serving the community for several decades, but it seems to me that a place like yours, that has been around for so long, should have progressed at the same level as the city has progressed and not have a run-down appearance. This made me and my wife, who grew up in that city, feel disappointed. For example, Frank Pepe's Pizzeria in New Heaven turned 100 years old, but its appearance is on par with the city's progress, which impressed me greatly. You should be a model pizzeria since you mean so much to the city. In Florida, I ran into a couple who talked all about how good your pizza was, and I agreed because I remembered how many good memories I had of the place. It's truly a shame that the place doesn't live up to your pizza standards. Thank you for the experience of good pizza, but your place needs to be brought up to date with the times we live in, where it's a pleasure to be there. Right now, it's not a place where one feels comfortable or happy. Those who built this pizzeria wouldn't be happy seeing how you've let the place decline and haven't invested in improving its failings. Thank you for the memories and the good times I spend at your restaurant. read more

Local pizza joint- nothing fancy. I ordered a margarita pizza and it was pretty good. Pan pizza- so thicker crust and golden on top- Greek style. My daughter ordered fettuccini Alfredo and the sauce was more like a soup and wasn't that flavorful. The chicken on it was good. Our waitress was fine with us but I saw her be kind of rude to an Indian woman with two little kids. They sat at a table she didn't want them to sit at or something. But it seemed busy and popular with the locals. I'd say this place is ok. It's location is great and it's convenient to the SONO AMC theater, which is why we tried it. read more

Stopped by last week and ordered myself a medium pepperoni pizza. The waitress who took the order could not be nicer nor any more attentive. While this was probably considered a "personal" pizza, to me it was huge - but delicious! Ate half the pie in the restaurant and had to take the rest home as I was already pretty full. Not to worry, made a great snack later! read more

You have got to try this place! Omg! Hidden gem in SONO! The Marguerite pizza is to die for. Unassuming, unpretentious but definitely worth the try. Service was excellent. Waitress was so nice! read more

Good ole Famous! Been going here over 20 years. Great food, pizza is always good. Prices are very fair. Generous food portions. Employees are always friendly. Perfect place for lunch or dinner with the family, or take out. read more

Famous is amazing I came to CT to visit after 20 yrs of being away from my home state... had to have Famous. I was 30min away and very busy so couldn't get there called up Sarah she helped me order online and I has uber pkg pick up and deliver. Obviously wasn't piping hot but warm enough for me to eat 3 slices before I sat down. Great Pizza! Great service! A must try. CT read more

This is a hidden gem. The food here is EXCELLENT and better than most upmarket restaurants. The burgers are amazing and the salads are one of the best I've ever had. The prices are good for the quality and quantity of food you get. Service is kind and there's never a long wait for the food because the place is very small. It's very cozy and has fairy lights and artificial leaves around it to enhance the atmosphere. Very family friendly and a nice cozy date night spot. read more

The girl Sara at the front was the rudest. Apparently she knew and wanted to socialize with the gentlemen before me and i didn't do she made snide comments after I paid. Little did she know I had things going on outside and didn't deserve the remarks. If I could have gotten my money back and left I would have. The smaller pizza place around the corner is better but unfortunately the parking can be tough read more

My family ate at Famous yesterday and the waitress really tried it. My family of three adults, (1) child age 7 and (1) baby age 6 months were charged a service charge for 5 people. When the waitress was asked why we were being charged for service to 5 people, she stated we were being charged for the baby who DID NOT eat! Ridiculous right? The baby hasn't even tried table food just yet as he just celebrated his 6th month on earth and furthermore we decided to dine in and support the establishment but never again. I know times are hard but Famous Pizza must do better! Perhaps hire waitresses with common sense and not waitresses that think just because they know 6 month olds who eat table food not everyone is on the same wave and feeds their 6 month old BABY table food, especially NOT pizza. My goodness! read more

Wanted a margarita pizza and seemed to be hard to find in the area. But this place popped up with good reviews, and so I gave it a try. I Ordered over the phone on a Tuesday early afternoon (during the pandemic). The Parking is metered on a semi busy road. Walked in they had inside seating open at the time- and a counter for pick up. The food was ready, so I paid and left. Only issues were the receipt- it's not itemized, and I also tried ordering wings (flats only and this was not available). This is a big one for me but I get not al places do that. I also saw they had a fountain machine with Pepsi sodas, and added this to my order ($3.00). However, the soda tasted like what I imagine toilet water to taste like. So while this was a very unpleasant taste it wasn't a deal breaker I would say JUST ORDER BOTTLED;). I ordered a large margarita pizza, an order of Buffalo chicken tenders, and lots of ranch (0.50 cents extra each- but good portions for us ranch lovers). I spent about 5-10 mins there total, $30.00 for everything. Food was really good, soda egh not so much. read more

Basic, never changing. Chill environment though, The food is honestly OK. The service good, it's almost never a long wait.

Famous Pizza serves up really good Greek style pizza right in the heart of SONO. There's a reason this place has been around forever. I used to come here with my parents when I was younger. The service is quick and friendly. Check it out. read more

Ordered spinach, artichoke, and garlic pizza today...with extra sauce. Delicious. Food deserves more stars but two things pulled it down: garlic bread was light on garlic and most cooks not wearing masks....that was disappointing. Come on guys, do the right thing until we get through this. read more

Food is very good, a large variety of menu items, prices are responsible for the amount of food you get. There chicken Alfredo is very good and creamy, buffalo wings are good and crispy and their chicken parm is delicious. They get very busy usually Friday Saturday and Sunday. Would definitely recommend. There is usually metered parking outside. read more

I really really enjoyed the pizza from this place, I came all the way from New Haven and the pizza was beyond expectations! The employees were kind and I will return again! One of the best pizzerias I have been to so far, stop by and check it out! read more

YUM!! Since my daughter turned 3 this past Monday, what better way to celebrate that, than by going to a pizza place?! Pizza is one of her favorite things of course! We got the bar b q pizza, buffalo wings and my mom got a salad with raspberry vinaigrette. For some reason I was in the mood for the shrimp pizza, but we went for the bar b q instead. I absolutely LOVED the way it tasted, a little sweet with just the right amount of spice. The buffalo wings were also pretty amazing and I have to confess, I've ordered from there twice in the same week! The staff here is super friendly and efficient. It's a bummer that this place doesn't deliver though. :( read more

Famous is really just okay. To give you an idea of the vibe of this place, they have a cigarette machine in the doorway. It's clearly been there since the 70s if not earlier. The food is sub par and the decor is less than charming but it's still decent. Could take or leave it really read more

Greasiest pizza drowning in oil. Twenty years ago back in the lifeguard hanging out days this was a treat for us we all loved. Well, fast forward- just wasn't good. read more

Famous is not the same as I grew up on since the 70s. Lady at the counter gave me a attitude for asking for 2 plastic bags for my food. She attempted to put a small pizza, calzone, salad and 2 drinks in one bag. The bottom of my pizza and calzone were burnt. After over 40 years of loving famous I'm truly disappointed read more

I ordered an American Cheese Burger meal with extra cheese today for take-out. I asked for the ONION RINGS, cole slaw and pickle to come with the meal. When I went to pick up my order, I didn't open it up and check it before I left the pizza house. When I got home and opened the order, there were French Fries instead of ONION RINGS with it. I was so disappointed. I don't like French Fries. I like ONION RINGS. read more

Came for a day at the Aquarium, and was looking for a pizza spot. This was recommended so we went. Ordered mushroom pizza, they don't serve by slice only personal. A small 10 inch plain is $7.95, which is decent, with each topping $0.95. Not bad. But when I got the pizza, it looked like they only used two mushrooms, sliced...there was barely 3 whole mushroom slices on each slice of pizza, and 2 or 3 slices had NO mushroom on it. Wtf. I ended up ordering a SIDE order of COOKED mushrooms to make up the difference. I included a photo. Is this acceptable when the pizza is ordered with toppings? I don't think so. In fact I think its kinda pathetic. If I go back and try other food on the menu I would reedit my review. But REALLY disappointed when I expected much more from the place based on the name. Pizza itself was tasty but please improve the amount of toppings. Btw service was good, the lady was great, she couldn't help with this situation. I hope this improves in the future though. read more

Famous Pizza House - Not much mushrooms for a mushroom pizza...you need to ask for an extra helping of toppings for it to be adequate. - Italian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I'd give 4 stars for the actual food, but this 5 star review is for the service. Norma was our server and she was absolutely excellent. She took care of us, laughed with us, and completely made our meal that much better. I've only lived in Norwalk for 10 weeks so far, and she has been by far the best waitress of my dining experiences. The food was pretty good! Calamari and buffalo wings to start were yummy! Big portions so I suggest only getting one for an appetizer for 3 people. By the time we got our entrees, we were too stuffed to take more than a couple bites. Small pizza (thin crust) is definitely shareable for 2 people and it was mighty delicious! In short: will be back simply because of Norma, food was yummy and generous portions! read more

Great thick crust pizza wit lots of flavor. This was described to me as "Greek style" and did seem a tad different from regular pizza had the Margarita and really enjoyed it. read more

Being from SONO, this establishment has been here for over the past 30 years. Food to withstand time. Whenever I'm in the area this is a Must Have. Family owned the food is consistent. By far my favorite establishment. The best part is they don't deliver which means" in order to in order to enjoy, you must deploy" lol. Plenty of seating for a large group or a table for two after a night on the town. read more

I finally had time to visit and sit down for pizza instead of ordering and running back to the office. Friendly staff and amazing food. It was so nice seeing all the families come in and enjoy a meal at this local business that has been around since 1966. My coworkers share with me their memories of visiting with their parents as kids and now they visit Famous Pizza with their children. At work when gathering the lunch order they don't use the full name. I ask and they reply "let's order from Famous". My son loved the candy machines. You know the one you place a quarter in and turn the dial. You rarely see them any more. My favorite is the cheese pizza. My husband love toppings and the ingredients are magnificent here but I always get cheese pizza. It is fantastic. Last thing. My son loved the free wifi read more

Pizza is incredible and restaurant has a major family vibe to it. The owner is incredibly kind, as well as the rest of the staff. So glad I stumbled upon this place. Will absolutely be coming back here regularly! read more

Pizza here is one of the best in all of Norwalk. It is kind of pricy, but worth it. A lot of people don't stop in here because of where it is in Norwalk (kind of a sketchy part of Sono) it is definitely worth the stop. Every pizza there always has soo much cheese, good sauce, loads of flavor! They also have a large variety of toppings, even rare things like gyros. The inside is a little out dated but staff is always friendly. Sometimes service is not the fastest, but at night it gets really busy sometimes so you cant really blame anyone. If you are in Sono and want pizza definitely give this place a shot! :D read more

Please don't tell me I'm the first person from the hometown to write a review on the INfamous Pizza House. Medium pepperonis, the best grease, cheese combo on a pie. The cheeseburger small. Best bang for your buck. Chase it with a cherry coke. Has tasted great and consistently for decades. Grew up on the stuff. Why are the people not cosigning to this place? read more

greasy, cheesy, gooey, chewy, tasty, spicy, yummy pizza pies! IDK why, but whenever my family gets together @ grandma's house in CT for more than 1 day, someone always has to get a famous pizza. i'm not big on pizza in general, but famous is consistently good and i'm happy to give them an extra star for nostalgia and b/c their staff is always super friendly [both on the phone and in person]. they've been there forever and still have reasonable prices, so they must be doing something right. (seems like almost everything else on that strip in SoNo turns over every other year or so.) i mean, how many establishments have patrons who've been going there for generations, ya know? the pizzas always have a little oil slick on top, so be prepared for that. just swish it off or sop it up and go for it - you'll live, and it tastes good enough to get over. no delivery though. read more

Been going here for 15 years and ordered the gluten free pizza for the first time. Nothing about this $13 pizza reminds me of famous; not even the cheese. And to make matters worse, it tasted frozen. Will not be going back. read more

The guy at the front counter was RACIST. I felt like my business was not wanted from the moment I walked in. There's an app that allows you to order your food online ahead of time so I did that around 6:41pm 03/07/2023. I arrived around 7pm I was not acknowledged I noticed that the white customers were acknowledged immediately and asked if they had an online order. I just waited quietly because I didn't want to be labeled the bitter ghetto black woman even tho I was deliberately over looked. Finally the guy at the front counter calls my name and I go to grab my order 15 minutes after the estimated pick up time and there was no courtesy thank you for your patience instead he added insult to injury by saying are you going to pay me? I felt humiliated and if I didn't Have a long day at work I would've left the pizza. I'm happy that unfair racism can be exposed publicly and btw he didn't apologize after he realized I ordered online like the 15 people he let go ahead of me. I'm going to take my black business elsewhere. read more
