Savour Fall Flavour: Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria launches fall menu

Italian Pulled Beef Sandwich, Roasted Cauliflower Pizza + Cauliflower Dip available at all locations across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario starting today

VANCOUVER, BC, October 17, 2017 — Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria has three new crave-worthy menu items, as well as two returning favourites, available starting today at all Famoso locations.

“This season we’re excited to be adding three new dishes to the menu we know our guests are going to love. Our Roasted Cauliflower pizza is a unique combination of flavours, featuring honey, gorgonzola, and chili oil. ” said Justin Lussier, CEO and co-founder of Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria.

“The Italian Pulled Beef Sandwich is a new personal favourite of mine – I love the elements of crispy proscuitto and horseradish aioli on the sandwich – it’s a must-try!,” added Lussier.

This fall, Famoso is focusing on cooking with fire to create their new fall dishes. Both the cauliflower and the pulled beef are roasted in-house in their domed fire-ovens, staying true to their “made from scratch” cooking philosophy.

Famoso is a traditional neighbourhood pizzeria that uses fresh ingredients and house-made, hand stretched dough to create their Neapolitan pizzas and pastas, including the newest additions:

  • Italian Pulled Beef Sandwich: House roasted, hand pulled beef on a brioche bun with crispy prosciutto, provolone, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato and horseradish aioli.

  • Roasted Cauliflower Pizza: Bianca Sauce, fior-di-latte, house roasted seasoned cauliflower, green olives, toasted almonds, gorgonzola and Grana Padano. Topped with honey, house made chili oil and a lemon wedge.

  • Cauliflower Dip: Roasted seasoned cauliflower, artichokes and cream cheese, cheddar and smoked mozzarella. Oven baked. Served with tortilla chips and garlic flatbread.

Returning favourites to the Famoso fall menu:

  • Funghi Pizza: Parmesan crema, fior-di-latte, roasted white mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, caramelized onions, white truffle oil, Grana Padano.
  • Korean BBQ Beef: House-made Korean BBQ sauce, fior-di-latte, house-roasted pulled short ribs, cheddar cheese, green onions, finished with a drizzle of hoisin sauce.
