Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria - Good Life Vancouver

Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria does true Neapolitan pizza out on Commercial Drive and recently added some innovative toppings just to mix things up on the largely traditional menu. The pizzas are all made all made with‘00’ Caputo flour and are hand-stretched and tossed. Excellent crispy and thin crusts and are then topped with tomatoes imported from Southern Italy’s Campania and often fresh fior-di-late whole-milk mozzarella along with a variety of toppings, and no matter what tops the pizza, they all end up in the Italian pizza oven for 90 seconds at 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

The atmosphere is casual at Famoso; guests order at the counter and are then served table side. Famoso’s menu includes appetizers, soup, salads, sandwiches, gelato and a variety of drinks including wine, beer, cocktails, Italian coffees and sodas, and soft drinks.

We’ve been a couple times now and recently tried the BBQ Korean Pizza, but are actually fonder of the more traditional toppings, but those who like a bit of sweet BBQ flavour will enjoy the new pie.

Salads are always a must for us and liked our last choice with its combo of blue cheese and cranberries on top of romaine and also adore their meatballs. And you must end with an affogato; a scoop of Italian ice cream over espresso.
