Famoso Italian Pizzeria - McKenzie Towne

Great pizza and service! Would go back to this location for sure.

Had the Brussels sprouts pizza with honey and dates as recommended by a friend. It was great! Our waitress was friendly and attentive.

I am thoroughly impressed with the food quality and the exceptional service provided by the staff. Highly recommended!

Good pizzas and nice place

Have frequented this location many times in the past, and for good reason, however, our experience yesterday was outstanding to say the least. We decided to celebrate a mini high school reunion lunch at this Famoso location because I knew how enjoyable the experience would be at this particular location and also because McKenzie Towne is one of the my favourite, coziest spots in Calgary. Called only a mere two hours ahead to make a reservation for 10 people at 2:00 PM, which I humbly understand was a bit too close and could have caused complications and undeserved stress on the staff, yet to our surprise our table was all set up and ready to go even when some of our party members arrived several minutes before 2:00 PM. Who’s to thank for this you might ask? None other than our absolutely wonderful server Sandra. Right off the bat, her aura was notably welcoming and friendly. Due to how distracted I was in catching up with old friends that I haven’t seen in so long, I kept forgetting to look at the menu, so every few minutes when she would politely ask if I was ready to order, I would have to regretfully apologize to her and ask her to come back again in a few minutes, which was always returned with kindness and understanding - I cannot tell you how much I appreciated not only the sheer amount of patience Sandra possessed, but her ability to respond amicably, along with grace and laughter, that truly lightened the mood of our table when she deservedly could have reacted with frustration or annoyance. When discussing menu items, she was super informative and her tips and suggestions were beyond appreciated when making decisions over food. She was very caring and attentive to our needs, so much so that while I was once again, too distracted in conversation, she would repeatedly serve our drinks and take away our finished dishes without me even noticing - and I normally think of myself as observant. Every single interaction between her and our table was not only efficient and almost stealth-like, but it was always dressed in a politeness, kindness, and friendliness. Although I could be wrong, I believe it is worth mentioning that she also managed to accomplish all this and cater to our party of 10 while manning the entire front of house by herself - talk about a remarkable employee. Cannot express how much I appreciate Sandra and the respect I have for her. Her friendly nature and welcoming aura will never go unnoticed. I hope she enjoys Calgary, perhaps even as much as Kelowna, and I am actively praying for success in all her future endeavours, to which I know will be greeted by her wonderful attitude.

Disappointing ‪★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ‬ ‪Cairney Chris · ‬12 seconds ago Quality of the food is never going to be what it was when the founding owners opened this franchise. We are on the second or third set of owners since the original, can’t keep track, they have all been a disappointment. The latest owner has cut quality of ingredients & quantity. There is no imported bread, meat, flour or vegetables. He is only worried about keeping the Skip drivers flowing. There are no longer people coming from out of community to eat here. As a community we need to not support these out of community owners coming in & cutting quality & raising prices to bleed us dry then sell to the next leech. But if you cave in & go, which I’m guilty of as much as anyone. Some time convenience out weighs sense. But if you do go in & you’re disappointed, which you will be, don’t get upset with the kids. The kids are part of our community & have no control over the owner.
