Our Perspective
Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria offers a dining experience rooted in tradition, bringing the essence of Naples to Vernon. The star of the menu is their hand-tossed Neapolitan pizza, baked in a bell-shaped oven at 900°F for just 90 seconds. This process creates a crust that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Signature pizzas like the Vesuvio, with soppressata and chili salt, or the Quattro Formaggi, a rich blend of cheeses including smoked mozzarella and Gorgonzola, highlight their commitment to authentic ingredients.
Beyond pizza, Famoso’s menu caters to diverse tastes. The spaghetti and meatballs offer comfort with a classic Italian twist, while the Chicken Parmesan paired with spaghetti pomodoro is a hearty option for those seeking a satisfying entrée. For lighter fare, the Napoli salad or fire-roasted tomato bisque pairs perfectly with one of their Italian sandwiches, like the spicy Wiseguy Italian Deli.
What makes Famoso stand out is their ability to balance tradition with flexibility. Diners can build their own pizzas, selecting from sauces like rossa or pesto, and toppings that range from classic pepperoni to gourmet options like roasted garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Their gluten-smart crust and vegan cheese options ensure that everyone can enjoy the experience.
The restaurant’s warm atmosphere, with its open kitchen, brings a sense of connection to the craft behind each dish. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, sharing a meal with friends, or looking for a casual dinner spot, Famoso delivers authentic flavours with a modern twist.
