    This is their antipasto salad.... Where's the antipasto part? This didn't even come with dressing or any of the meat ingredients.

    The pizza was ok, but the antipasto salad was just a bunch of lettuce and didn't come with half the ingredients it should have. Including dressing. Not to mention it took almost 2 hours for them to deliver from the time the order was placed directly from their website. There are better places to spend your money

    DELICIOUS ELEGANTLY CUSTOM MADE PIZZA

    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

    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!

It was pure perfection. Just all around perfect. Lunch was Tuscan Chicken Penne and my friend ordered mussels. The presentation of the meal was beautiful. And the taste - on another level. Absolutely blown away. Now on to the dessert which we picked Tiramisu. I was pretty stuffed from lunch so we decided to split it. I'm kinda mad I didn't have the whole thing for myself because it was so good. Not only was the food amazing but the service was too.

It's next to a dealership. The space once you enter, is really nice and open with a full beautiful bar. They also have a cute seating area. The server gave us the menu and gave us tile to review. Pretty easy to look over as they have your Italian basics. We opted for a cranberry and blue cheese salad with candied nut's. We ordered a full to share. I wish we were told it was too big for just 2 people. It's good for about 3-4 people. Without knowing, we also ordered Brussels spouts, which again is for 3-4 people. As for my entree, I ordered the chicken rigatoni. I didn't get to really enjoy it because I was super full by the time it came out. It was saucy and tasted good with the chicken bites. My husband had their famous lasagna. It came out hot so they must bake it as you order which is great! I will say, he said it was extremely cheesy. He had to look for the pasta in it. He did enjoy the flavor. Circling back, we got full with the salad and a small portion of the Brussel sprouts. We had to take our entrees to go. The waitress noticed and said she should have told us that the portions to the appetizers were large. I would have just ordered 1.

Ambience: very comfortable, although very loud inside the dining room-background music along with many patrons conversing. But our wait staff was great. Friendly and engaging - but not over bearing. In fact, i gave this place an extra star just for the wait staff. Other than that, i would rate their entrees...as decent, but there is room for improvement to help raise the bar. Hence 3.5 stars overall Appetizers: 1) fried raviolis - not bad, filled with spinach and ricotta and arrived with marinara dipping sauce 2) fried calamari- too much coating which over powered the delicacy of the squid. Plus, it arrived cold. It came with two dipping sauces which helped. Entrees: 1) Two pies: Sicilian and soppresaata & hot honey: both pies were decent, arrived straight from the oven 2) farmers market salad: very fresh greens, tender pieces of chicken but was missing the fresh corn. 3) spaghetti w/meatballs: nice entree with a mild sauce, but meatballs tasted more filler than actual meat. And the garlic bread was cold 4) rigatoni aka vodka: very nice entree and our diner ordered it with gluten free pasta 5) spaghetti parmesano: entree looked great when it arrived- mild sauce w/al dente noodles but the chicken was over cooked and even dry with a layer of mozzarella that didn't help. And again arrived with cold garlic bread. Would i return? in a few years. but the service was good which made our evening. However i wish all the pasta entrees and calamari appetizer were as good as their pies. Again, little details with their appetizers, pasta, and salad dishes would have made our dining experience more enjoyable.
