This place was busy and it's a seat yourself! This is not a good idea as you will get overlooked. We basically had to push someone out of their booth. We sat immediately once they got up, sat at a dirty table for about 10 minutes until acknowledged. Had to ask for a table wipe down. Horrible way to do this seating. Food was good. Won't be back when it's busy. read more

Had their Greek style pizza and it was probably the best I have ever had! I would eat it all the time!

This restaurant is great. Really enjoyed the food, the service was fast and super friendly, and it was a nice, clean, cool place. We actually ended up here twice on our trip to New Bern. But the menu was so big and had so many options that it felt like going to two different places! The appetizer list looked great. Over the two visits, we had the cheese fries, tzatzaki with pitas, spanikopita, and mozzarella sticks (there were like 8 of us, don't judge me). The cheese fries were amazing. It was like they took a pound of mozzarella and just shoved fries in it. Absolutely delicious, and different than what I was expecting, in a good way. The star is the tzatzaki. I could put that on anything! Some of our party even used it as salad dressing. Unfortunately for me I didn't try the pizza, but it looked great and everyone said it was fantastic. I had the gyro, which was really great, a good lamb/beef mix with great seasoning. I don't know if the pitas were homemade but either way they were fantastic. The second time I went I decided to try the wings, because they looked so good the last time. They were very good, although personally I would have preferred hotter and more sauce, but that's just personal preference, they were delicious. One last thing. We were here for a party, and we had a cake that was made in their bakery. It was so good. Perfect ratio of cake to icing, and not too sweet but delicious! read more

Amazing gyros, very distinctive hummus, and great deserts. I can't wait to go back. read more

Steak fries - perfect. Pepper steak - always perfect. House sauce - the cherry on top. Famous is my go to every time I come back home to New Bern. The bakery next door is a welcomed bonus! I bring my cooler now to be sure to bring goodies back home! read more

I ordered a tossed salad. No surprise there, plain old to go carton of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, a few slivers of green pepper and an egg. My husband ordered a Greek salad. Wow!!!! He got the same carton as described but the "Greek" was accomplished by a couple of ripe olives and two chunks of Feta cheese. Now the lettuce in both salad was plain ice berg lettuce with a sprig or two of "mixed green". These salads were quite disappointing. Money will be spent next time a Teeters, they have wonderful premade salads. read more

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!! read more

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.

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

Famous Subs & Pizza - Pepper steak sub - Pizza Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

They have the best tavern style pizza. It's a great price for what you get. Their service for carry out is fast, a little bit slower waiting to dine in but the ambiance is very chill and family style. I've never tried something here I don't like. Delicious. Go back whenever I'm craving some pizza. read more

This place really sucks on service if you wanna wait come here. And they really could care less literally

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. read more

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. read more

Food is always good and fresh. Excellent staff with good service. Nice clean restaurant with a wonderful bakery attached.

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. read more

Food and service is great. Oh they have a bakery next door and the cakes and cookies are dso good

The food is tasty. The service was good. Ambience is a pizzeria type busy setting. You kinda have to walk back more when you walk in the front door to get seated. read more

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! read more

Lasagna is awesome. I have ordered the salad at a different time and it was so large I had to take a lot home. Service is good. The best part is the bakery inside the restaurant. The best looking goodies I have ever seen. Luckily for my figure I haven't tried them all. read more

This place consistently has great food and service. This is one of the best restaurants in the city of New Bern.

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.

Not impressed. My sub was OK but my daughter's mac and cheese was not edible. I told the waitress it wasn't good and she said sorry about that. When we went to pay, the cashier asked if everything was OK. I said my daughter's mac and cheese was not good. Same reply, sorry about that. ??? I said I guess you're not sorry enough to remove it from my bill. She said, did she eat it? I said, no, she took one bite. Then she told me I should have told our waitress. I said well I did and she said the same thing you did, sorry about that. Finally, she said well if she did not eat it and I can take it off your bill. ‍ read more

Meh. If you're really hungry and don't care if it actually tastes like Greek food, this is for you. If, however, you want good Greek food, go elsewhere. The server was great, but the food wasn't. read more

It's been a few months since I was here but thought it'd be fair to do a review. I got the gyro which had to be sent back because it was made poorly. The gyro was decent but nothing to write home about. The decor and inside of the restaurant is dated and needs to be updated. There were plenty of employees crowding around the register but none could be found in the dining area. Having the bakery attached is nice and probably the best part of the experience. I'll go back to the bakery but don't feel great about the dinning experience here. read more

Now called New Bern Bistro. Food is very good, great selections, not just pizza and Italian. Wait staff is busy but does a great job per table. Try their new bar/dining area in the back. A little pricey but well worth it. read more
