An organizational meeting over lunch led me to Famoso on Whyte Avenue on a recent weekend. I ordered the "pizzetta" (7 inch) size of the Funghi, which may not sound like an appetizing name, but to a mushroom lover like me, it sounded delicious. The creamy mozzarella was topped with a generous portion of caramelized onions, oyster mushrooms, roasted white mushrooms, and the decadent finishing of truffle oil. I held the parmesan crema, as I am not fan of parmesan. It was rich and delicious, with a great texture.

BBQ Chicken Pizza at Famoso

I ventured to the original location of Famoso last week after doing a video shoot with a friend. I was absolutely famishes so went for a full-sized BBQ chicken pizza, with sweet BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, red onions, and cilantro. The onions and cilatro were very fresh and added after the pizza was baked. There was certainly a lot of chicken and the sauce worked well in place of a tomato sauce. The thin, pliable crust which is Famoso's trademark also lived up to expectations.
