Famoso Italian Pizzeria has come to Burnaby, B.C., with a new location that opened on October 13th, 2023, at 4415 Skyline Drive in the Solo District near Brentwood. The newest Famoso is a dual-branded concept with the existing Ricky’s Café, a vibrant, streamlined concept offering delicious food and professional and courteous service—all in a friendly, urban retail environment. With the addition of Famoso Italian Pizzeria, there will be even more delicious dining options for the residents of the Brentwood area.
The first Famoso opened in Edmonton in 2007 and is known for its authentic Neapolitan pizza, which has regularly won awards as a guest favourite. Famoso is passionate about authentic Italian pizza, using imported Italian bell ovens, fresh, premium ingredients, and traditional culinary techniques in pizza making that have gone unchanged for generations.
Plus, dining options are available to guests yearning for even more of a true Italian flavour. Family recipes inspire the menu and include favourites like home recipe pastas, Italian-style sandwiches, great signature salads, a wide selection of craft beers on tap, and of course, Italian-inspired desserts… traditional house-made Tiramisu, cheesecake, and artisan gelato. With a menu great for dates, friends, and family dining and delivery, Famoso is the perfect complement to the existing Ricky’s restaurant.
One of the unique features of this new dining concept is the way the takeout counter has been built to be such an integral part of the restaurant space—it has upped the takeout game to a whole new level, and the folks who live and work around the Solo District are going to absolutely love it! Pastas, flatbreads, custom-made sandwiches, fresh grilled paninis, wraps, burgers, fish and chips, calamari and all kinds of tasty appetizers are available in a hurry at the takeout bar.
Raymond Ho, VP of marketing for FDF Brandz, is excited to add Famoso to their Ricky’s Café Burnaby, B.C., location. “With the addition of Famoso Pizzeria, we’ve got bigger and even more convenient dining options available to our patrons who are looking to enjoy a true Italian flavour,” adding that “the stylish, casual pizzeria embodies the look of a neighbourhood pizzeria with a modern flair and is a perfect place for sharing with family and friends.”
With fast express takeout, online ordering, and delivery services, guests can enjoy their favourite Ricky’s breakfast or an authentic Famoso Neapolitan pizza, all in the comfort of their own homes.
