The pizza is consistently delicious, with a great crust, quality ingredients, and generous toppings. There are so many great choices on the menu, and everything is made with care. I may be a little biased because I know firsthand how much work and pride goes into this business, but I can genuinely say the food is excellent. If you haven't tried Famous Pizza in Johnston, you definitely should! read more

Very friendly staff, an easy to use app called Slice, tasty food. Food is extremely greasy though. Yummy absolutely but definitely sits heavy in the stomach. read more

Three words: Get the square. Famous has been a staple in the area for a long, long time and has made consistently really good local pies forever. That being said, get the square. I can't explain why, it just is. The square is significantly better than the round pies. It's just a fact of life. Like cutting sandwiches into triangles makes them taste better, the square from Famous is the ONLY way to go. Try it and see. read more

Woooah blast from the past! It's been years since I've been to famous pizza. I grew up eating famous and used to ride my bike here as a kid and it's still exactly the same as I remember it. Same family is still running and operating it serving a classic Greek style pizza. The restaurant offers sit down eating also delivery along with quickly friendly service. I had the cheese pepperoni pizza that was crispy and flavorful. Also a side of onion rings that was pretty basic but the thing one joyed most was the buffalo chicken calzone! They also order pasta dishes, grinders, variety of apps and salads! read more

My favorite in the area. For relevance. Not a fan of Catanzaro's or Ninos (although both of these places do very well, are well liked and serve great food). Famous is Greek style pizza. I've been a repeat customer for 10 years. Taste went down a few years ago BUT is back to being GREAT again! ! read more

Outstanding. Good food and good people. Nice crispy pizza with ample cheese. Liked their sauce too, it's hard to describe, but reminded me of school pizza, which I always liked. read more

When I was little there was a pizza place near my Grandma's house in CT that made shredded meatball pizzas. They closed 20 years ago and I have been searching for a similar pizza ever since. After trying this I was immediately transported back to my childhood. I will definitely be back! Friendly service, clean kitchen and the price can't be beat. Stop in and give them a try! read more

Famous Pizza - Meatball pizza well done. - Pizza Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Only had one pizza here so bear that in mind as you read the review. It's good pizza but nothing extraordinary for the northeast. The crust was thin and slightly crispy and definitely above average. They were busy when I ordered and they still made it fast. The seating area inside is kind of odd with a full counter area with seats facing the back wall and also booth tables towards the front. I suspect if you're a regular the service gets noticeably better as it seemed like they look to see if they recognize anyone coming in through the door. read more

I found a pack of parliament Ciggs in my square cut party pizza. I don't smoke, but used them as collateral to make a profit and it was a big win for me! I did ask for half roni half sausage, but I'll take half roni half parliament. Best pizza in town! read more

This was a horrible experience. I called ahead and asked how many slices a large would be. They told me 16 slices so I said great I'll take 3 large pizzas and a medium. I got a small and 3 large pizzas that came with EIGHT SLICES. I went back in and asked them if If this was the right order because I didn't get the right amount. They told me it was, they lied on the phone. The service was horrible and very rude when it was clearly their mistake on the phone. They told me they would make me two more pizzas. I thought it would be on the house because they messed up my order but then they charged me $26 more for two more pizzas. Overall horrible experience... go to ninos! read more

If you order food and the pricing is all over the place, that's because he changes it as he sees fit. If you're his "friend" and you have money, you will pay more than someone he knows nothing about. Not cool at all! read more

It's great not to greasy a lot of topping they give very friendly to me I never even knew they where around I love them they have everything keep it up I'm telling people read more

First time customer. Don't be fooled by the appearance on the outside, but keep your eyes open. If you don't know what you're looking for you might just drive past it. Got a couple sandwiches, $20. A half was enough for one meal. Good portions, friendly, helpful people working in there. Good food, people and clean inside the business. I'll be back soon as long as the sign doesn't change or fall down. read more

Since moving to Western Cranston this has been our go to pizza place. I think there are some other reviews that are referring to a different Famous pizza. Ive picked up orders multiple times, and they have been nothing but nice, in fact they gave me a free pizza one time due to a canceled order. This is a greek style pizza, which is a nice change compared to the more traditional Italian style pizzas offered in the area. It has nice crust that compliments the pizza, and not overly large. The sauce is just right, they do not over do it, overall the pizza has the perfect balance of ingredients. The subs are out of this world. I have not tried everything, but the Italian, Turkey, and Steak subs are amazing. They bake all of their subs, so if you prefer a cold sandwich you will need to ask, but they are happy to prepare any item the way you like. As if I have not praised this establishment enough already, their delivery is fast, and the drivers are always friendly. read more

So I've determined that I actually really like the pizza at Famous Pizza as long as it has toppings. A plain cheese pizza is just cheese overkill (see my previous review: a pool of cheese in the center). As long as there are toppings, it really downplays the cheese, and is overall a much better experience. I really like the crust here. It's pretty crispy and has good flavor. I recently tried a really loaded pizza with pretty much everything on it and it was definitely my favorite. I'm glad I reevaluated my opinion of Famous Pizza. I think I'm more likely to order pizza from here now that I figured out what it really is that I didn't like about my previous experience. Definitely gotta order toppings or ask for way less cheese. That's the way to go here. read more

Go somewhere else. They lied to me over the phone, messed up my order and then tried to make me pay $30 more dollars for 2 pizzas. I don't know who the trashy Italian woman fighting with me was, but she made 0 sense. Literally inaudible. Go to ninos read more

Food is not good, rude staff,and so called owner, messed up my order, then told me I'm lucky he didn't charge me for fixing it, then yelled and swore at my girlfriend on phone, if you like crappy food then this is your place. read more

We are regular customers since we moved to the area about 6 years ago. Tried several other pizza spots near by, but Famous Pizza is by far our favorite. Love, that it is a family business. Everybody is always nice and friendly. Pizza is delicious! Oh and the Hot Italian Grinder is fantastic as well. REGARDING THE PERSON giving the 1 star review: I wonder, if he reviewed the wrong Famous Pizza. This one isn't right down the road from the tulip farm, however, there is another Famous Pizza (different owner) near that tulip farm in Johnston. I think, that he reviewed the wrong one. read more

Terrible customer service! Ordered 3 pizzas explained to them our address and the rudely stated they know where it is( everyone gets it mixed up) they still showed up the the wrong address. After paying and an hour and a half later the driver took off rather quickly pizzas looked like the driver slammed on the breaks and turned them into calzones and a big mess. We called to complain and they could not remake the pizza as they were closing which was not a big deal and stated they would give us a refund credit for the next time which we agreed was acceptable . 1 month later it was a fight to get our money back and a credit they wanted to only credit us 1 pizza and finally we went down and got our money back stay away. Extremely rude and unprofessional!!!!!! Plenty other places in RI that are much better if I could it would be a negative 5 star rating read more

Dirtiest establishment I have even been to with the worst customer service. I found hair in my food on several different occasions. I called and told them and they would give me attitude saying it was my hair and they guess they could make me a new one. Worst customer service and very unprofessional! read more

Ordered pizza for my poker group (8) guys at my home last night. It was fantastic. The right amount of toppings ( cheese, pepperoni, and sausage, and peppers). The crust was perfect. Everyone in my group wanted to know where I purchased this award winning ( in my opinion) pizza. We have had our ups and downs( delivery problems), with this place over the years, and I can tell you, things have changed. They do care about quality, and their long-time customers. I am so glad, I ordered from Famous Pizza, and not from all the other chains etc. They can make square pizza pies, that have (15 slices each). The food was delivered on time, and hot. It made a great evening even better. read more

I am from Durango, Colorado and several years ago while visiting went my Mom in Cranston, she took me to her favorite pizza place. I met Maria and Costa and became overwhelmed with their kindness. Each time I visit, a stop to Famous Pizza is a must. They always make me feel welcome and treat my 89 year old mom as if she was family. I cannot express enough how wonderful this family is! The pizza is GREAT! read more

We order from famous weekly Friday night pizza ALWAYS comes from Famous Pizza ! Never disappointed!! The kids love the pizza and the chicken tenders !!! read more

Ordered several times from this location. The woman who answers the phone interrupts you and is very rude. The first two times there was a hair in my fries. The third time, I called and placed an order and told them about the hair in my fries, the man on the phone acted as if he didn't even hear me. I ordered a large Italian grinder and fries this time. As I opened the grinder, there was a long black hair in my greasy grinder. Ugh! I called right away and the man who didn't seem concerned at all, told me that it must have been from me. I'm sorry but this has happened three times. This food establishment is dirty! And the customer service is terrible! I will not be returning again! read more

Famous is my go to place for pizza and wings in Western Cranston. Maria and Costa (the owners) are super kind and always have a friendly smile when you pick up. The delivery guys are nice, too. Love when you order you get what you ordered vs getting someone else's read more

We've been going here every week for a little less than a year now and they have made mistakes with our order too many times for us to let it slide anymore. Twice they've forgotten to make our pizzas all together, and two other times they have sold our pizza to someone else by mistake. It's a shame because their pizzas are really good. If you get the right person on the phone when you call, you won't have a problem, but it's a gamble we aren't willing to risk anymore when there are plenty of other options in the area. read more

Our family has been getting our pizza from Famous Pizza on Plainfield Pike, Johnston for twenty years! It's our favorite pizza in the Western Cranston/Johnston area. The dough is delicious and not greasy; the pizzas are always so consistently good!. My son loves that they offer to add double dough as a topping for a nice, thick crust. I love the white pizza with sliced tomatoes and feta--so yummy! The owners are such a nice Greek family--always friendly. read more

I've been devouring pizza from this place since I was 5. The best pizza hands down- I prefer their large square with pepperoni or plain cheese (I'm super boring). Never had the one on rt 6, so couldn't tell you if it's just as good as here, but it's different owners so probably not. Ya welcome. read more

It's not the cheapest but this is actually the best pizza in the universe. The crust is not too soft or too hard. It's nice and buttery (is pizza crust supposed to be buttery?). Obviously it's not going to be like some fancy grilled pizza thing but if you're looking for delicious pizza (and stuff) to get delivered to your house, this is the place. Even if they did send me two chef salads when I ordered two Greeks. But for how amazing the pizza is I literally do not care about that. Don't get salad if you're going to a pizza place. That's dumb anyway. read more

WHAT A GEM!! Cranston/Johnston has no shortage of places to get fantastic food. Now I can add Famous Pizza to the list. We moved here a couple of years ago and have had pizza from several vendors in the area. I always thought they were good, but not great. We haven't ordered from any establishment more than once, hoping to find that perfect pizzeria. Our search is over. We ordered from Famous Pizza last night. I ordered a large pepperoni, mushroom with extra cheese pizza. When I walked in to pick it up, the folks inside were very pleasant. They thanked me several times prior to leaving with my pizza. The pizza is EXCELLENT! The crust is crispy, the sauce was mild and the toppings were generous. My search is over for decent pizza in this area. If you haven't tried Famous Pizza, you need to. It is outstanding. Effective yesterday, I am now a regular customer of Famous Pizza in Johnston. read more

.. Lisa and I ate here around 4:30 pm on Thursday September 18th .. . a typical pizza kitchen, we sat at the bar which overlooked the oven and pizza prep area. We Had a few cold colas which we could help ourselves to in a couple of sliding door fridges in the dining room. We just had a Square cheese pizza which was delectable .. gooey cheese, the right amount of sauce, and a crispy underbelly and crust. We took 1/2 home. Great to know this place is here ;) .. . read more

Good pizza but horrible customer service. Been a customer ever since we moved to Johnston but they're either always forgetting something everytime we order or late with deliviries. Not worth the aggravation. read more

My wife and I had just left the tulip gardens @ Wicked Tulips in Johnston and we're looking for a quiet lunch. We found Famous Pizza just down the road. We had a spinach pie and a meatball grinder. The food was quick out of the oven and scrumptiously delicious. This place has a total small town atmosphere; it was filled with a bunch of locals who were all really nice. Looking at the pouring rain while sipping a coffee, we felt we were in a slice of life movie. read more

Horrible!!! I had to sign up for Yelp just to post this review. It has been years since I've received such HORRIBLE take out service. I ordered a BLT grinder by phone. I asked for extra bacon and the person that took my order told me "no worries I will make the grinder myself". I get home. 2 bacon slices. I Called to reorder a week later. I Explained that i called a week prior and ordered a BLT- extra bacon- and there was very little bacon on it and i was hoping to order another BLT and if I could just not be charged for the extra bacon this time. The person on the phone told me they do not even have a BLT on the menu and if "we are doing you a favor then you shouldn't bust our balls about it!" And then hung up the phone on me!! I called back, then explained to the manager what happened and he tells me "he DOESN'T have time for me or this conversation" he also hung up the phone. ! Never once did I raise more voice or use profanity during these conversations. SIMPLY AMAZING HOW THEY COULD TREAT A CUSTOMER SO POORLY I wish I could make a billboard and put it in there parking lot so that everyone could hear my story! read more

I have lived in the Johnson area for 15 years and have been going to famous pizza and using their delivery. Every time I order from there they forget something or they have been times that they actually have not delivered my order and pretended that the driver was on the way. Sometime delivery orders can take up to an hour and 45 minutes and when you call they say the same thing that the driver is on the way and you know that they have forgotten your order. Don't ever leave your order with the mother who answers the phone she never takes correctly. It is a poorly run family owned business that I try to support but again and again get terrible customer service. The pizza is good most times and the sandwiches are also good it's just getting the order is correct and delivery times or for getting deliveries all together. Unfortunately for them it is time they ask their mother to retire from the business or they will no longer have a business. read more

Pizza is okay! Staff is rude and careless. Confirmed my order a few times and sure enough when I received it, it wasn't correct.

Pizza is OK. But I have agree with the others in saying that the staff is rude. Better off going to another pizza place.
