Famoso Pronto Pizzeria has opened a new location in Edmonton at 17007-100 Ave. NW (the corner of 170th Street and 100th Avenue). With a customized environment that is modern and inviting, this Famoso location is branded as “Famoso Pronto” to provide guests with a wider variety of exciting Italian menu options to for an evening out with friends, casual family dining, or a quick convenient takeout.

Famoso Pronto is an evolved concept that is streamlined for more efficient operations but still offers delicious food, warm hospitality and a fun, relaxing atmosphere that has been the hallmark of any Famoso location. In addition to sit down, dine in service, guests can also order their food directly from the counter if they are looking for a quick lunch or take out. With this new service option, Famoso is ready to serve an even better experience to the residents of West Edmonton and beyond.

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.

For better take-outs, there are also the new world pizzas that are formulated to handle delivery distance better—guests will find these 16” pizzas extra thick, extra big with extra toppings!

Dave Housman, who will helm this location, is a seasoned Famoso maven who also owns the Famoso Magrath location along 23rd Ave NW. With his experience and knowledge of running a successful pizzeria, Dave describes the new location as “a stylish, casual pizzeria restaurant that embodies the look of old-school Italian with a modern flair,” adding that “it’s a perfect evolution of the Famoso brand and a great place for sharing with family and friends.”
