    Large with pepperoni, mushroom and Italian sausage.

    After Tryon Palace we were hoping to stop at a pizzeria nearby but they're closed on Sundays! Yelp search led us to Famous Pizza because I saw a review saying BEST PIZZA IN NEWBERN... I can honestly say that this IS the best pizza I've ever had in Newbern.. ok it's the only pizza I've had in Newbern but that's beside the point. The amount of takeout orders they were cranking out is in indication that it's a local favorite. What really cinched that 5th star was the attached bakery. HOLY MOLY! My blood sugar skyrocketed just by walking over to the bakery side and seeing the most beautiful sweet treats (and a few savory as well) . I picked up a few cannolis and a slice of strawberry cheesecake for the hubs. If they taste as good as they look then I may need some insulin! AND if you dine in at the restaurant you get 10% off at the bakery. As IF I needed any incentive!!

    The bakery was fantastic. Great selection and very nice staff. The cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting was amazing!

    Pepper steak sub

    Sooo dry!!! Where's the cheese?? There is absolutely nothing special about this sandwich and I'm very disappointed. I will not be returning.

    Famous is one of my favorite restaurants and bakeries in the NB. They have a little of everything from gyros to subs and any baked good you could imagine in the bakery. The parking is a little small, so come here early if you're getting lunch.

    I got in town a little late and was told everything restaurant-wise closes early, so to find food before settling in. This restaurant was recommended to me by the lady at National Car Rental. Getting to the restaurant, I was hungry, and honestly, there were too many items to choose from! Do I get a sandwich, burger, Italian dish, pizza, or Greek food? I left it in the hands of my waitress, Dallas, to steer me. She was helpful and attentive; she kept my drink full. All around, it was a good experience. The food was fresh, hot, good, and flavorful.

    What a fun Monday night surprise! We were coming through New Bern on the late side (after 8 p.m.) and wanted to grab something for dinner. I'm so glad I saw this open on Google! We enjoyed a gyro platter, veggie gyro wrap, and two incredible desserts from the bakery. Dallas, our server, was an absolute rockstar! For sure visiting here many times in the future when in New Bern to make our way through more bakery selections.

    The food was delicious! I came to my hometown for my Class Reunion and a few of us met at Famous for a well needed lunch. We dined in and I had the steak and cheese sub and it tastes as good as it looks. The service was mediocre but the food made the difference. I ordered a salad and asked for no chips but instead I received no salad and only chips. Famous is a New Bern staple. When I'm in town I will do takeout versus dine in!

    OK pizza. Crust was thin. Toppings adequate but not great. It was a 20 min ride for us. I will look for a closer restaurant next time.

    Excellent bakery items and I loved the thin crust pizza. Best cupcakes and the home Made granola is superior to any I've ever had.

    On the road again & kept hearing about these homemade Mozzarella Cheese Stix from this local…read morepizzeria...so I had to try it out! Yes, if you are in The New Bern area and have a craving for Pizza - This is the SPOT! 1st they told me it would be about 40 min & they showed up w/in 25-30min!!! The Mozz Stix are amazing (see pics). You can order a 3 or 6 piece & comes w/ pizza sauce for dipping. Also ordered a slice of cheese just to check out their sauce & style - great thin crust w/ flavorful sauce & extremely large slices for $2.95. Finally had to check out the Stromboli. Ordered the Steak & Cheese and it did not disappoint. Overall this spot is a local hidden gem w/ homemade flavorful items at a great price range. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area!

    I moved to New Bern from New Jersey four years ago, and I'm so grateful to have found this little…read morepiece of home away from home. The pizza is exceptionally good, the garlic knots are delicious, and the mozzarella sticks are honestly some of the best fried cheese I've ever had. Don't sleep on their subs or salads either! I've had the Italian sub and the steak and cheese salad with oil and vinegar as the dressing--both are absolutely spot-on every time. There are a few tables available for dine-in, and if you live in River Bend (the neighborhood it's located in), they offer delivery right to your door. Ordering for pickup is also super easy and convenient.
