Green Salad - so good and so fresh!
Dana B.

Great pizza, deliciously fresh salad and amazing customer service! We ordered several pizzas and salads for a family gathering and everything was great. Our order also came with two 2-liters of soda. And the staff is so kind, helpful and super friendly!!

I decided to bring my review up to a perfect rating because, that once incident has since been diminished. I've returned to Famous Pizza since that rating and the guy that took my order the first time, is not there anymore (as far as the times that I've been in the restaurant). And the gentleman that has been there to service me, is nothing but pleasant and has a great attitude. But the pizza is what should've stood out as - it's great!!! Thus the repeated times I've ordered from this place!

Store front

The cashier and cook are doing both jobs. I waited more than 10 minutes. However the food was good and the crust is made fresh. The grease was a nice handle on the package. For a personal pizza , and two soda is 15 bucks. For a lunch deal it's a good catch just need more staff. Seems like a small business so it has a family pizza parlor feeling.

Cheesy bread
Jackson T.

Decent pizza place. I remember seeing the other location on Freeport all the time since I went to school in that area. The pizzas here are decent and the pricing is great. Service has always been friendly since it is family owned. I ordered one of the famous combo deals, which is a medium pepperoni and cheesy garlic bread for about $20 after tax. Both were good for the price. I did ask about a free soda since I was picking up, but was told the minimum threshold is $25, which I'm not sure how true that is. Parking is in a small lot, but I've never been here where I had trouble parking. I will order from here again if I want decent pizza for a decent price.

Sausage pizza
Anthonee A.

Real pizza. Not cesars style. The toppings are good quality and the cheese is good too. You can tell their pizzas are high quality because their pizza tastes almost as good cold; and doesn't have to be burning hot. The sauce has a nice flavor that doesn't taste like they put a bunch of sugar in it. My family likes their wings more than wing stop. If you come here you will not regret it. I'm glad we have a pizza place like this in the area. I think everyone is tired of cesars... here's your place.

Quarantine review vol.1 Been dreading to go out and eat because who wants to pay top dollar to eat at a restaurant and be forced to sit out side with a mask? Not me, no thank you! Decided to try a pizza spot near me and decided to give this place a try. I ordered a 3 topping large pizza pepperoni, sausage and chicken with a side of cheesy bread sticks. The service was great I pulled up to grab my order and they shot me a 2 litter soda for freezy YEEEEE!! The pizza was good, the cheesy bread was also fire i just wish that when I ordered my cheesy bread they would of tried to up sell me the pepperoni cheesy bread or bacon cheesy bread I totally would of gone for it! Try this place out its really worth it and its not super expensive make sure to ask for any deals. They also have a arcades and games if u dine in but right now in 2020 no one wants to hear it. I shall be back!

Half and half pizza. Great crust and sauce. The crust is not too thick or doughy at all. Just right!
Ray T.

Very professional and friendly staff! The pizza is also great here. This is my second time ordering from famous pizza. I recommend their pizza to anyone that wants good tasting pizza. I will eat here again. Great place!

Combo Pizza
Pao L.

Famous Pizza sells good quality pizzas at fair prices. The ingredients are a step up from the big chain stores. The bread is really soft and the pizza is on the less oily side. 100% recommend their breadsticks too. Their pizzas are pretty consistent and the service is quick and friendly too. They have been spot on with the estimated wait time for in store carry-out and pick-up. They seem more old school without the online ordering, but that is not a deal breaker. Lastly, they have deals that are available daily. This place is kind of a hidden gem among the numerous pizza shops. Support your local business and don't worry about giving this place a try if you haven't already.

Medium Combination Pizza
Franny Z.

I ordered a Large Pepperoni pizza which comes with 12 slices and a Medium Combination pizza which comes with 8 slices. With our purchase, we were given a free 2-liter soda. The man on the phone was super sweet. My sister said he was friendly when she picked the pizzas up too. We really enjoyed the pizzas. Thank you!

Number One Spot For Vegan Pizza!…read more SITREP On our way back to my place after a successful haul at the Saturday Midtown Farmer's Market and we come across this spot. We were hungry. We LOVE pizza! What's not to try? THE SETUP What is novel about their business plan is that they cater to BOTH vegans and carnivores! Often you get into a spot and you discover that the restaurant has no viable vegan options, OR it's a vegan spot that has no options outside that. PIZZASAURUS REX.... ...welcomes ALL! We wanted to try their Vegan Pepperoni Pizza - with both vegan mozzarella and vegan pepperoni (all plant-based) - generous portions of all the ingredients including the sweet basil! INCIDENTALS If you enjoy walking, getting there on foot is a better option considering all the parking is on the street. If you live in Midtown hood, you don't have to worry about it! THE LOWDOWN The pizza is delicious and reasonably priced considering the size of the rectangle-shaped pie!

My wife decided to try this place for dinner. The location used to be the old Rick's diner. We…read morefound street parking around the block. Two hour parking no meter. Nice They have seating outside in front on the sidewalk. Also some outside dinning in the back of the place. You order first from the counter and then find a place to sit down and eat. They have a water station near the counter. Also the bathroom in to the right of the counter. The lady at the register was very friendly and explained the special by the slice pizza. Also you can order a pizza half one topping and the other another topping which was what we went with. We got the regular combo and the vegetarian the other half. I got a table at the top in the back. The table was a little dirty and had not been wiped down. Had to do it ourselves. The manager was across from us but didn't say anything along with another worker. Oh well. It wasn't very busy inside. They had a couple of people on the outside tables and two tables taken inside. Pretty empty otherwise. The lady told us that it would be 22 minutes for our pizza to be ready. I think we got it in 20. These are not the traditional round type. They are square and a good size to. It was 44 bucks for this pizza since we had water to drink. They crust was the best part. Nice an crispy. The vegetarian was not bad. I Liked it . The Combo was just adding salami and pepperoni. It was alright. I liked the veggi better. A lot of my wife's friends said they really liked this place. I thought it was nice but the drive from Elk Grove was a bit for this pizza. Which I thought was just ok. At least we tried it. Not bad. If I was in the area then yes.

La Porta Came here…read moreon a Saturday for a friend's birthday with a large group of 17, and we didn't have reservations--so we knew it might be a bit of a challenge. At the time, they had one cook and a manager who was also acting as the bartender and server for the whole floor. You could tell he was a little nervous at first with such a big party, but honestly, he handled it really well. He was friendly, energetic, and super transparent about what they were out of since everything is made fresh. He also did a great job explaining the dishes and cocktails, which we appreciated. Our group was pretty easygoing, and overall the experience felt fun and relaxed. The food came out looking (and tasting) amazing across the board. I ordered the gluten-free hot honey pizza, and it was a standout--perfect crust, nice balance of sweet and heat, and loaded with cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. Definitely a win. One of my friends also ordered gluten-free and tried the pesto chicken pizza. Unfortunately, that one missed the mark--the chicken was overcooked, the pesto flavor was off, and the pizza itself was a bit bland. However, when she mentioned it, the server immediately made it right by remaking her pizza and not charging for it, which we really appreciated. The space itself has a great vibe--cute aesthetics and it sounds like they host events during the week like DJs and art nights, which is a fun touch. Parking can be a little tricky since it's on a busy intersection, but manageable. Overall, a really solid experience, especially considering our group size and no reservation. I'd definitely come back and would love to see gluten-free pasta options added in the future!

I've eaten a lot of lasagna in my lifetime, the bolognese sauce in this is bomb. I would give the pizza a 7/10, I'm a very picky eater. I would definitely suggest people in the area try this place for yourself. Their Instagram page is lacking food content and I let our waitress know on ways to fix it. When we arrived at 7pm on a Wednesday we were concerned because it was semi-empty. So we thought "oh gosh the food isn't going to be good"! But it was amazing- this restaurant has so much potential to be sold out 7 nights a week!

This place continues to evolve for the better, including their brews, food ans atmosphere! I wanna give a special shout out to Kim & Josh who I've come across multiple times.

You'll be lucky to have them serving you when you visit. I just can't say enough good things about this place.

Everyone was super friendly and laid back. You can order at the tap or grab a seat and order via QR, which is awesome. Plenty of seating, spacious, good vibes, and they had Premier League on their massive TV. Beer was superb, kind of hard to review because I just love beer, man. We started with the shishito peppers, which were great and came with a really memorable miso aioli that was very addictive with a hint of lemon. We also got the "Fun Guy" pizza to share and made the mistake of removing the goat cheese, which I think hurt it. The crust was excellent and the toppings were fresh, but it felt like it was missing that salty, funky balance the goat cheese would've added. Still very good, but that one's on me. I'd definitely get it as intended next time. One of my favorite breweries, especially with so many having closed over the past few years. Cheers to them.

But every time I visit Paesanos I get both of those things. On my most recent visit to the restaurant, I had the pleasure of being served by Clemens. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped me find the perfect meal(Fettucine Arrositi) to fit my current dietary restrictions. He also helped my grandma find something on the menu that wouldn't be too carb heavy since she is diabetic. He was pleasant all around, he was patient with my grandma all night and made me feel like he truly valued our time and didn't rush us. He is everything you want in a server-kind,direct,knowledgeable, and dependable. I would come back any time just to get customer service like that. Now on to the food, I had the Fettucine Arrositi which I believe is their signature dish. I have had it before but this time it was especially delicious. The sauce has a flavor like no other pasta I've ever had it's rich but not too rich creamy but not too creamy and the thing that sets it apart from other creamy pastas is the subtle Cajun flavor. It tastes a bit like old bay and Tabasco to me with some other amazing things in it I'm sure but it was delicious 9/10 My grandma likes to order a lot of things for the table because she never got to have that so she ordered a bunch of things for herself to try and for me to finish. We had the meatballs and they were fantastic but she felt they were too big haha 9/10. Then we had the calamari which was my favorite of the appetizers we ordered. I'm hoping next time to try the polenta fries. Then for her main course my grandma had the wedge salad which she loved but she did mention she wished it had lots more bacon and I can't blame because I too always want more bacon on things. All in all it was a great experience and I will be back very soon.
