On a nice fall afternoon I decided
to have an early dinner at a new Italian pizzeria located right in the heart of
the Annex. The restaurant: Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria.
This nice little spot is known for
its wood oven pizzas, zesty salads, and hearty gelatos to cleanse the palate
after a great meal. For myself, I
decided to use my gift certificate from an earlier visit and go the whole nine
yards to explore such fine Italian Cuisine.
I started out with a small Caesar
Salad ($4) topped with shaved Parmesan cheese, bacon and served with a garlic
wedge. The salad was well dressed,
tasted very fresh, crispy and zesty, and was a great starter to wet my appetite
for a nice light meal.
Then I ordered the Margherita
Pizzetta ($7), a serving suggestion for a single person, which is a cheese pizza
with garnishes of basil. I love the
wood oven effect on the pizza crust, the pizza tasted fresh and the serving
portion was nice, light and reasonable on the belly. To wash this all down I had a nice glass of
San Pellegrino Limonata soda ($2.50), which complemented the meal nicely
without the need of alcohol.
Finally I cleansed my palate with a
single scoop of Madagascar Vanilla Bean Gelato ($3.50). From the get go I can taste the accents of
the vanilla throughout the desert, as well as the rich creamy texture that just
calls for another helping if one so desires.
What’s so amazing about this meal is
that all three courses came under $20, so if you want a nice three-course meal
without breaking the bank, Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria may be your best bet yet
for some quality food at great prices.
Overall, the food was great, service was impeccable, and the atmosphere
was very inviting.
