    DELICIOUS ELEGANTLY CUSTOM MADE PIZZA
    Preston C.

    The pizza is always nice and hot with the best cheesiest of pulls, fast and nice service, and a great atmosphere.

    Sadly, the photo can't show the verily.Horrible smell coming off this pizza right now.

    This place must have a new owner, as the pizza I received did not look like any photos on any reviews. If the place was not a local business the pie would have been returned immediately. We still have the whole pizza minus the two slices we bit into. The first sign should have been the rancid smell in my car, instead of smell of fresh baked pizza. It was a smell of something that was cooked in dirty oil just for context or a dirty refrigerator. When we bent down to smell the pie closer, there was zero smell of pizza, jut an off putting smell, but you could tell you were smelling food if you were blindfolded. There was zero seasoning in the sauce which was a blessing because it did not disguise the bitter old taste of the other rancid ingredients. This is by far the worst pizza for flavor profile and amount of ingredients for the extra charge ever purchased in my 70 years. Will go across the street to Pizza Hut from now on if I want something mediocre. Sadly this pie is so bad, it cannot even rise to mediocre. That said, the staff could not be more friendly. I hope they read this review. The pie will be donated to an unhoused camp, but I feel bad for serving something so horrible even to them.

    Nice local family run pizza in Freeport area of West Sacramento. I happened to win an Instagram contest so I used it to share a pizza party with some friends at Petco to celebrate all the kindness they showed my pup, Koko. We enjoyed the pizzas (loved the crispy yeasty crust!) and the cookie pizza was quite yummy, too. And we also had complimentary breadsticks (yum!) and sodas. I will definitely be back!! #kokoapproved #poursipsavor

    Medium Half Mexican Taco Pizza Half Famous Chicken Pizza

    Today was my first visit to Famous Pizza but certainly won't be my last! I've driven by plenty of times during my time in Sacramento but they were closed for a bit due to a driver plowing through the front of their store. Luckily, they've survived and are up and running and their pizza is great! First things: you can order in person or online, but if you order online you can do it on their website or through an app called Slice for 5% off. Their website has a variety of deals on their online menu, from Monday and Tuesday specials, to carry out only specials (as opposed to delivery). I noticed they do half and half speciality pizzas which is the route I went, as I wanted to try a few options. After looking at their menu, I went with a half Mexican Taco pizza and half Famous Chicken pizza. Both are loaded with meat and veggies and come with different sauces, so I thought this would be a good way to try some variety. I ordered ahead as they opened at 11 AM was quoted for a ready time between 11:18 and 11:36. I left my place around 11:15 and got there at 11:25. Parking was easy and they have a parking lot as well as a "loading zone" on the side street right next to Famous Pizza - presumably for pick up orders and delivery drivers. I parked there and walked in and was the only customer in. The employee behind the counter asked if I was Lucas and told me my order had just come out. As he handed it to me, he also said I could get a free soda with it. Awesome! I wasn't expecting that, but was definitely up for a free soda. I saw they had RC Cola, something I haven't had in forever, so I went with that. There wasn't any seating inside and the store was mostly empty, so I took my pizza to-go. I opened it up to snap some pics in my car and ate a slice of both the Taco Pizza and the Famous Chicken Pizza. Both were great! What I liked about the Taco Pizza in particular was the fresh shredded lettuce. It was quality and really made it feel and taste like a taco. The Chicken Pizza also had a lot of veggies, including green onion and tomato, which was great. I'm a big fan of having both veggies and meats on my pizzas, when possible. I ate two slices before I left, and saved the rest for later. I've since had a few more slices at home and I can honestly say that the pizza holds up well - the crust especially! I'd absolutely order from Famous Pizza again and will make sure to take advantage of their online specials when I do!

The cheese pizza here is great; it's topped with dollops of ricotta and ribbons of fresh basil. They have a daily special: the Dino slice, which I'll often get as well. Sometimes the toppings are fun (e.g. pickles) and other times more run-of-the-mill (e.g. salami, bell peppers, etc) but I've never been disappointed even when I thought the flavors would be odd. They used to be pretty good about posting on Instagram what was on the Dino slice was, but I don't see it quite as often these days. If you're into saucing up your pizza, you can get ranch or hot honey or Dino sauce. It's been a while since I had the Dino sauce, but I recall it being tangy and cilantro-y with a bit of a spice kick. It sounds a bit different/odd, but I like getting it from time to time. The Dino eggs, from my recollection, are basically pizza dough balls. Mostly bread, which is fine since their bread/pizza crust is great, but I'd rather just stick to the pizza, so I only tried these once. The fries are good. Though, I probably wouldn't order them alongside the pizza unless you're looking for a carb bomb of a meal (which is what I had done the one time I ordered them). They're probably best if you're just looking for a snack to go with your beer & aren't planning on eating a whole bunch of pizza. They're quite good though. Nice and crispy. And it's a pretty big serving size. They have a dozen or so taps of various beers. Some local, some not. And they have a selection of cans and bottles as well. There isn't a ton of inside seating. A half dozen or so tables? And a few bar seats. There's probably more total seats in front and in the outside side patio. There's only street parking & there's lots of small shops nearby, so you might have to take a short walk from your car to get there.
