The pizza was made with premium ingredients, baked in a traditional oven and it tasted absolutely perfect. The staff was friendly and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend Famoso Italian Pizzeria in Red Deer.Wheelchair accessibility: Main floor entry

Recently, some ingredients I had paid for in order to be on my pizza did not show up on my pizza and my pizza was unfortunately stuck to the box. With the price of food and delivery these days it was disappointing. But what wasn't disappointing was how the restaurant handled my phone call. Specifically Amanda.I called the restaurant and spoke to her and she immediately went straight to apologizing and then told me how it could be corrected. Not only could skip reimburse me and correct the issue but that she was happy to give me a gift certificate to cover the cost of the issue I had. She was incredibly friendly and polite and kind and empathized the problem and wanted to fix it immediately. I use a wheelchair and she was even willing to meet me outside when I got to the restaurant and pass me the gift certificate and rectify the situation. There are really big terrible problems in the world, this is something minor but if customer service falls apart completely it's a ripple effect of frustration and disappointment and no one wins in the end. Thank you so much Amanda for how you handled this situation and how you went above and beyond!

Great food, great service! Went for lunch with a friend around 3pm. It was quiet, service was great, food was really nice and the tiramisu was wicked! Definitely on my list now of places to go to enjoy a nice meal.

The restaurant has a central location and plenty of parking. Quickly, I was seated and having my order. The menu is easy to read, despite all the Italian words. I had the lunch promo, and my company had a 12" pizza. The portion size was good enough for me, while my friend saved three slices for later. The service worked fine as possible. I recommend this place.

I used to love this place when the old owner owned it. But with the new owners the place has gone down hill. Staff aren't really attentive. Rolling eyes when they didn't get a massive tip for their lackluster service. Bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The table was sticky and the food that used to be amazing was cheaped out on and not even good. The salad was so drowned in dressing that it was gross. Definitely will not be going back.

We enjoyed our time and our meal. Pasta was a little bit undercooked.

Our family’s favourite spot for lunch with two small kids. The food quality is always exceptional and consistently good. The happy hour menu is great too.

Famoso consistently surpasses expectations with its welcoming staff, always smiling, and serving fresh, tasty pizza. I wholeheartedly recommend it and will definitely return for another meal.

I’m so mad. This was the ONLY place I would get my pizza from when it was owned by the previous owners. Now the quality is TERRIBLE!! Every time I get my usual pizza it is burnt or tastes extremely bitter at the base. I don’t know what they are doing wrong but they better fix it. I do not get how some people will settle for this mediocrity!!! Staff is fine tho.

The pizza is amazing! They had so many interesting (and classic) options to choose from. And it was reasonably priced. Our server was great. I can understand why everyone talks so highly about this place.

We stopped in tonight for a date night. The food was super delicious and the staff were really nice. Amanda was great, we didn’t feel rushed when we couldn’t decide on what to order as it was our first time here and she checked in to make sure everything was good. We got the Bruschetta, the Wiseguy sandwich with a bowl of tomato bisque soup, and the Capricciosa pizza. Everything was so good and the pizza crust was definitely homemade! We also took a tiramisu to go and it was phenomenal! My only reason for not giving a 5 star is that the pizza crust end was a tad dry towards the end of the meal so maybe a little butter on the ends or some olive oil to keep it when it comes out of the oven but other than that, it was great! We’ll definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Offers gluten free pizza dough
