Just tried this pizza joint yesterday and it was delicious! Tried three large pizzas, one sausage, one pepperoni and one cheese. I tried all three and everything was excellent. It was recommended by someone and it did not disapppoint. I can't believe such a great pizza place was hiding in Van Nuys. All three pizzas were very cheesy and the dough and crust pretty soft. It was the perfect blend and surprisingly good. Everyone who tried it raved about how delicious it was. I personally prefer deep dish and particularly like Numero Uno, but for anything non deep dish, this place takes the cake. Definitely recommend. Sorry couldn't take pics before people started grabbing them. It was that delicious! read more

Pizza was amazing and delicious. Everyone at our company luncheon was pleased and satisfied. Fast service, definitely ordering again.

Terrible pizza at this location. I like the location near Kester and Vanouwen. I used to eat here sometimes when i lived in the area. They deliver to you which is good. You dont have to have any apps with them either. The pizza i ordered here was kind of greasy, and the cheese not made all the way. They never put pizza sauce on the pizza. Lousy here. read more

Really good pizza. Nice people. My only complaint is the wings. Taste great but they are so small. Actually they are tiny. I'll still get my pizza here but no more wings. 3.5 stars read more

|[ s p a m ]| Wrote a review before not sure what happened to it but I'll repeat it again. They will constantly blow up your mailbox and trespass into private property to spam you with their junky ADs!! It seems they have a second location with a similar name because I just got spammed yet again (ad tucked into my door) and the AD looks identical. QUIT SPAMMING PEOPLE!!!! It is extremely annoying and I am not interested and never will be. :( |[ n o ]| It is illegal to force yourself into private property to spam people with junk and force them to have to throw away the trash. As you can see from other reviews they shamelessly so this, most like bc the food is subpar. Market the legit way and work on making your stuff better instead of turning people like myself off from ever giving the time of day. read more

Famous Pizza - Constant spam on/in my door. STOP! - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Their pizzas are loaded with the toppings!!! And all are delicious!! Prompt delivery service.

(Tookout 01/16/21 SA @ 12:00pm): Based on their reviews, this pizza joint was famous in their local neighborhood! Living during these COVID-19 times, my roommate and I have eaten a lot of takeout pizza as we have systematically been trying all of the neighborhood pizza joints and wherever we might be which was the latter case this time with Famous Pizza. I've seen their coupon menus https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pbuOZ41qY4jgZhLSewEhHA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw littered about at a nearby rental property for years and finally decided to give them a shot as I worked in the Valley. According to the presumed male owner I met, they have been around for over 13 years. And, as a marketing professional I succumbed to their paper spamming - damn you! Would I consider them again since I was always in the area!? PURCHASE Potato Curls w/Marinara Dipping Sauce ($8.99): A pure impulse buy, these thick spud curls were lightly fried with a moist steamy inside and totally a meal on its own; I was pleasantly surprised https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LxoYHZFg7cF4wk-tv5SR7Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 10pc Spicy Chicken Wings w/Ranch Dipping Sauces ($9.99): At $1.00/piece and truly an impulse buy, these were fine but surely nothing special or memorable https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hlF2WzqHms-bbA0YjHoxtw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Chicken Caesar Salad ($10.99): Crisp romaine lettuce, seasoned croutons, Persian cucumber, shredded parmesan cheese, chicken bits, lime wedges, and Caesar dressing on the side, this was a large simple fresh salad while the dressing was flavorful with a smooth texture; not my favorite Greek salad but served its purpose in getting greens inside of me and also a meal on its own https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=k2mCcolO2CFn0zjsCDN6Ow&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Artichoke Hearts & Mushroom 2-Topping 14" Large Pizza (2/$21.99 Coupon Promo): My roommate's choice, I bit burnt on top with a decent amount of fresh toppings, the thing that stood out the most was the lovely fluffy pillowy crust I probably could've comfortably slept on it and then eaten it in the morning! I wished there was more sauce, but all was fine https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HMwE2FupRQ9cYfev5alvyA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Ham & Pineapple 2-Topping 14" Large Pizza (2/$21.99 Coupon Promo): My choice, I went Hawaiian and loved every bite. The same comments from above also applied and could never have enough toppings https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3R5-8NnNK4FjXWqlEV7ghg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE During these COVID-19 times, they recommended online orders/payment for takeout although they also accepted phone orders and walk-ups (I did the latter). The older gentleman who took my order was friendly and efficient. I knew what I wanted, placed my order, and less than 20 minutes later everything was ready to go - great job! PARKING (FREE) Located in a strip mall with several businesses at the intersection of Victory Blvd. and Hazeltine Ave., I found a spot in the crammed lot. Otherwise, there was plenty of street parking along the aforementioned streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quaint dining area (three tables) and a single old arcade game which were not in use due to COVID-19, the vibe was mainly a pick-up order kind of joint. The orange-painted walls were covered with generic pizza parlor food framed pictures https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2CWlgX9feOGnFvp8MGMaHQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Decent natural lighting came in through the signage-covered front glass windows and front door while soul-sucking fluorescent ceiling lights covered the rest. There was one TV and no background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Famous Pizza was a nice surprise and another example where targeted marketing can work. Because of its proximity to one of my family's rental properties, I would consider another visit. Frankly speaking, I'd go back only for the cloudlike crusted pizzas (the other items were nothing special) as long as the prices stayed better than comparable and the ingredients continued to be fresh while the service was fast and friendly. Plus, it was always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Update after 15 calls.. They picked up the phone and let me listen to background noise 3 times.

The pizza is so great so good so tasty my family and my friend. Love it. Good job guys. That is the way the pizza supposed to be.

I have never had a burnt pizza... until now, how do you burn a pizza? I was honestly surprised they served it. And definitely do not plan on eating in the establishment. Zero ambiance, unless you like the feel of a subway station. I'm sorry, but there are so many places to choose from , this should not be an option. read more

Famous Pizza - I had Ham,, pepperoni, double pineapple, and mushroom. Heavy sauce. Heavenly! - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

It's a neat looking mom and pop style pizza joint in Van Nuys. Neighborhood spot atmosphere with handwritten and printed menu signage on the walls. It's been there for years. Whole pies and some limited other food selections. There was a friendly man at the counter when I arrived to pick up my togo order. A large Pepperoni and Sausage and a large Pepperoni and Mushroom. He tells me they messed up the Pep and Shroom and that they were remaking it free if I could just wait an extra 5 minutes. Pizzas come out, and they give me the "messed up" pizza as well. Awesome service. The messed up pie was super undercooked and just the edge was messed up. They could have finished cooking it and offered it, but I was grateful for the extra pizza. The replacement on the other hand was a Sausage and Mushroom. which nobody wanted and tasted absolutely terrible. We all liked the Sausage and Pep, but no one liked the messed up pizza or the replacement so we had to double cut the pep and sausage and stretch out the servings. read more

Truly outstanding service. I knew that the food would most likely deliver and it was astounding! The mushroom on the pizza was so amazingly, complexly flavored and all our food was immaculate. But what truly blew me away was the attentiveness of the staff, the quick service, the friendliness and warmth of the servers. The chef even dropped by our table and chatted about how he makes the food. Really remarkable experience! read more

Local neighborhood pizza place with great hours and a tone of deals. They have a green salad I'm a fan of if you're curious about alternatives... However not much else I can boast... I've gotten pizza here in the past and the dough is just really lackluster, the sauce is deccent, but the veggies aren't something I'd boast about. My roommate frequents this spot within walking distance of our place, but only out of convience and the insane amount of neighborhood doorknockers/flyers we've accumulated, but not to fret you can find one almost anywhere within a two miles radius, usually on your fence, gate, a driveway as they blow off and about.... This place has it's own recipe for flavor and unfortunately many people I know just aren't a fan, but I support small mom and pop local business and chains... and the customer service here is really above solid. The parking lot is shared with Victory Bread (open 24 hrs) in a small plaza off Victory and Hazeltine. It could be the pizza you're looking for (service with some personality and kindness)... It just may not be impressionable in terms of that bread, sauce, topping chaos you lust for... But you never know... read more

Do yourself a favor and try anywhere else. When I called on the phone the man barely listened to me and was yelling at someone while I tried to place my order. I asked him to repeat the order back to me including no green bell peppers, he repeated it back correctly. Walking in for my pick up order I was so embarrassed this man was arguing and yelling at two ladies sitting at a table about an apartment and how much the price was and the water bill. Barely two feet from him he finally acknowledged me and said he would help me. I had no idea he even worked there. About 5 min later he seemed like he forgot I was there and went back and brought out my pizza. The pizza looked overcooked and he said I could wait for another one. Also the price was about 8.00 more than on their website. Again, I asked him for no green bell peppers and it was covered in them. I didn't have time to wait so I took it. You just went from 5 stars to 1 star and lost a repeat customer. The quality of the pizza also unfortunately went way down and I'm very disappointed about that. The customer service is 0! The guy acted like he was the owner. Short older man, gray hair. Guess I have to find a new pizza place! Bummer! read more

This place blows up my mailbox and aggressively advertises in my apartment complex -- even after the behest of me requesting them to cease spamming me. So here's my yelp review. No one likes a spammer. And no one likes a jerk who doesn't honor the 'do not call/mail ' opt-out/ The guerilla adverisement is all too telling. Me thinks you have a bad product read more

Famous Pizza - Spamming my mailbox and door hanging. Stop it. You've been warned. Multiple times! - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Wow! First time here with my daughter we got the pepperoni with spinach pizza and French fries Delicious!!! Definitely coming back ! Looking forward to try other stuff on the menu, food was good ! And the service very friendly . read more

Just a couple of small criticisms of this establishment. I find that I get overcharged on the tax from time to time, and sometimes it doesn't seem important enough to make a big deal out of it, so I just pay the difference. However, this time I ordered the chicken Alfredo which the female owner told me would cost $14.99 plus tax. This should have come to $16.41, but she charged me $16.98. Not having the tax in my mind at the time, I paid for the food, but later realized this was an error. When I came back to pick it up, I called this to her attention, and she told me, "Oh, we charge for the bread. It's 50 cents." If they charge extra for the bread, why not just include that in the initial price, so there's no misunderstanding? The only other thing is the flyers which I don't mind getting constantly, but I noticed that there are no medium or small pizzas advertised, only large. It would be helpful to see the prices of the small and mediums as well. read more

Famous Pizza - Combo Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This place SUCKS! Worst pizza and even worst customer service. Avoid at all cost please order from someplace else.

You can tell that the owners genuinely don't care. You can hear it in their voice and you can tell by the pizza itself. The cheese is cheap & lacks flavor. Plus they add way too much of it and it's barely cooked. I ended up throwing half of the pizza away because we couldn't finish it. I need to move out of Los Angeles because the sheer apathy of everyone is unbearable. read more

I called in a pizza and was told 20 minutes. I showed up 20 minutes later and was told it will be a few more minutes. After waiting another 10 i asked if it was almost ready and the lady said it's half way done. I realized she haven't even began making my pizza until I got there. There was no one else in the building and the phone never rang once when I was there. What she was doing that whole time I dont know. Also there was squashed roach right in front of the counter. read more

I've had Famous Pizza twice now, so I can confidently write a proper review. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the quality just didn't add up to the cost. I have ordered their cheese, pepperoni, and one of those specialty pizza. However, they all tasted like pizza from popular chains such as Domino's, which wasn't what I was looking for (no offense Domino's). I also tried their spicy wings, but those are overly salty. My favorite part of the meal was probably the caesar salad, which is an odd thing to say about a pizza joint. read more

Great pizza, great wings, great people. I'm always happy when my father in law chooses to eat here with me.

First time I figured it's close so might as well give it a try. Ordered mini pepperoni pizza it taste ok but big time greasy and I ordered spaghetti & meatballs. The meatballs are some dried up portions of meatballs that were cut up and put into this foul pasta sauce. I took 2 bites of pasta and it was gross. I don't suggest going here at all. Not sure how u they got a rating of 4.2. I wouldn't give them a 2. Should have taken the $20 I spent on the gross food they gave me and went to grocery store and made it myself. DONT GO. D Pick somewhere else read more

Just ordered their medium pizza, lasagna, garlic bread and mozzarella sticks today. Delivery took about an hour and they do charge $2 for delivery. This is my second go around with them and I have to say that they have the best pizza in the valley. The crust is nice and chewy. The sauce pairs well with the dough with just the right amount. The cheese stretches and has a texture, feel and taste to real mozzarella and not like the fake ones that are used with the chain establishments. I will definitely be back for their pizza. As for their lasagna, the sauce was on the salty side and did not appeal to me too much. The sauce almost tasted like it just came out of a tomato paste can. The garlic bread that came with it was an Italian 6" with slices of mozzarella in the middle with hints of garlic. To me, that is just lazy and not how garlic bread should look and taste like. Should be toasted with garlic butter rubbed on it. Will not be ordering this. The mozzarella sticks were just ok. Nothing extraordinary about them that I can say. The marinara sauce was a little on the salty side. It's probably the same sauce they used for the lasagna. I think it's pretty pricey for just 6 sticks. Overall, I will definitely order their pizza here again. Also, don't forget to check out their family deals. I think it's not bad at all. read more

Really good pizza! BUT they over charged my delivery by $12.00 and when I call ed the to correct it, the lady said she needed to wait for the manger to open the receipts so she could look at them. Turns out this lady that gave me the run around all day and then ignored me after that was the OWNER and could easily do the things needed to correct the problem herself. I contacted her several times to fix this problem and she just ignored all my texts and calls. The she said that had no record of the order that they overcharged me for. IF that is rthe case then they owe me all $33.00 instead fo the $12.00 they over charged. My bank shows the transaction being processed so which is it? read more

Pretty good pizza for a small place in a random corner strip mall! I've only been here a couple of times so far but they don't disappoint. They have good deals on large pizzas with 5 toppings ($13.99). A variety of their large specialty pizzas are $13.99. I usually go for their combo pizza: pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives, green peppers & onions. I love how their pizza is not greasy at all and come with a good amount of cheese. I will definitely order from here again. read more

Worst chicken wings I've ever had in my life... Looks are deceiving, this is the gummiest, non-crispy, unflavored, just BS chicken you can buy. For a single $15 order of 10 wings (robbery) you'd expect them to get at least one right.. Not the case. Pizza is good, but do yourself a favor and for the love of god please don't order their wings. Highly disappointed. Sincerely, From someone who hasn't felt the need to write a review about a poor dining experience until meeting the epitome of wings from hell... read more
