Famous Pizza & Creamery

They’ve changed… and not for the better. I’ve lived in Scituate for 5 years and used to think their pizza was a hidden gem (seriously!). In the last year to year and a half, the staff and pizza have plummeted. I stopped going after too many nights awkwardly tolerating the staff’s loud, racist, sexist diatribes and flat-​out crappy pizza. I don’t know what changed Famous, but I for one miss the old you!

Pretty bad food. Just ordered a steak, mushroom, onion grinder and the bread was soaked to the point it was like eating wet croutons, not sure why it was so wet, it wasn’t even grease?!? The peppers were just raw peppers he put on top of the grinder, not even fucking cooked! Yet, he decided to cook the mushrooms and onions? Wtf?!? Tasted really strange like freezer burned meat. I told guy at the counter who made it that it was terrible and asked for my check. The nice guy only charged me $ 5. The guy acted like I was an inconvenience to him by telling him how bad his food was instead of asking if he can remake it or fix the problem. He instead came up with a nice even $ 5 for the food I took one bite out of (before deciding to stop eating because it tasted like something that would make me sick.
This place USED to be pretty decent years ago but the last few times I’ve gone I’d had wished I didn’t. I can’t say that I will give it another shot because this is like the 5^th shot.
I ended up eating next door at village tavern which is always great!

If you want to be treated like absolute garbage over the phone and also in person when you walk in, totally go in. It’s a great feeling walking in and totally getting ragged on by all the employees. I’m totally into that when I’m giving you my hard earned money.
The pizza really isn’t worth the trouble. I’d like to say that I have decent taste in pizza, so it goes a long way when I say I would rather eat Little Ceasar’s or dominos, which really isn’t good.
My recommendation is to go to Giuseppe’s. Definitely the best in Scituate.
Also, it’s worth noting that I actually finally made an official Unilocal account, just so I could tell my community to avoid this abysmal pizzeria. But hey some people are into being treated like trash, go check it out. It’s great.

I would give them 0 stars if it was possible. We are a family of 6 who walked into this restaurant at 9 pm. The sign on the door clearly said open until 11 pm. We were «greeted» by one employee saying to the other «I Almost got the chairs up». We were then completely ignored and everyone went to the opposite side of the counter from where we were sitting. Then the pizza ovens were slammed loud enough to scare us. Apparently they were unhappy about having customers. We will never set foot in this restaurant again. I can’t even believe that this place is still in business if this is the way they treat their customers.

Not impressed at all. I have heard great things about this place. I went there today and asked for 4 large pizzas cut in 16 pieces each. I gave them a little more than an hour to prepare them. I ran some errands and went back to pick them up. The pizzas were ready on time, smelling awesome and nice and warm. I headed out to a family party. When I arrived and opened the boxes I was not excited about the looks. First of all each pizza was only in slices of 8. The cheese and topping fell off each slice as we tried to pick them up.
I was not impressed to say the least. I won’t be back!

I used to eat this pizza all the time. I grew up on this pizza. Used to be a great place. It’s gone downhill since owner died. Staff is rude and could careless about quality and the professionalism. One worker proceeded to scold me about the phone order, in front of many other customers I mind you. That was embarrassing. His name is Jay and he is known to be a little arrogant anyways. Food was BURNT! I called back employee said I don’t care, I just work here. Who is this clown, and please fire him. Oh, and there’s more but I don’t have the time to bash a place I used to love. Things need to change, your not the only gig in town.

Pretty good pizza and friendly staff. Also, pretty expensive, $ 15 for a large cheese — 8 pieces. Soda from a vending machine, small menu overall.

last time I got take out here, what a debacle. First they gave me the wrong sandwich but this wasn’t discovered until we got home, so after going back and waiting for them to make the right sandwich and getting home to finally eat the eggplant was insanely salty. Like borderline it was done intentionally as a prank. Seriously gross.

Stopped in and got a sandwich to go– was not that bad Sandwich was a little pricey you would have thought you would have gotten a bigger sandwich for the price I was charged.

It was a cold and blustery day. A drizzle was in the air. My brother’s car broken down and a tow truck enroute, we found ourselves stranded. What hark? Shelter from the storm! I’ve heard tale that Famous Pizza of North Scituate was something to enjoy and lo, there it was. We went in with eager anticipation. The warmth of the cozy pizzeria was the first thing we noticed. The smell of bubbling mozzarella over the precise and secret measure of spices in the marinara was the second. Rife with simple décor for simple folk, the chatter of the local gentry permeated the scene. Large men with larger ovens behind them baked away, several pies at a time. We took our seats in this refuge and unburdened ourselves of our damp wear, weary as we were. We chose the crucible by which all self-​proclaimed pizza emporiums are judged: a pepperoni, just so. We added our own dialogue to the cacophonous milieu. My brother shared that he had just seen «Philadelphia,» the film starring Tom Hanks as a man dying of AIDS facing injustice. Though I have yet to see it myself, I concurred that it seemed sad. It was at this point that from behind the inner workings of the restaurant appeared one of the chefs, a crop of freshly bleached-​blonde hair atop his head. A good look, or so I thought. Another member of the team, surely a culinary expert, who had been letting loose a barrage of lazy yet loud banter turned his assault upon the unassuming prey. «WOW! You look like a homosexual!» The magic spell of what could have been a wonderful dining experience was then and there broken. The wind had been taken out of the sails of every conversation in the small room. Had I heard right? In that pregnant vacuum, the brash idiot prattled on, «I don’t get all this men-​touching-​men stuff. I mean, you don’t see me getting all excited when a man touches me.» A chuckle from a coworker… a slow, gradual return to the murmur of before. Blank stares from my brother and I toward one another. The offended victim looked annoyed and pressed on into the machinations of the ignorant dough dealership. This was ok, here? This is normal? While we were collecting ourselves in this culture shock, another member of the staff asked if we were still going to stay or if we would like our meal to go. He must have perceived our disapproval because he knew we originally wanted to eat in but clearly the atmosphere was no longer conducive to proper digestion. We chose the latter and began to produce the money for our food. He didn’t wait for me to pay in full, accepting a significantly smaller amount and letting me know that that was fine. He knew his coworker was an ignoramus and their reputation suffered for it else this wouldn’t have happened this way. We left, still astounded and no less cold or hungry. Parked in our parked car, we opened the the box to the rude pie and sampled. Despite the ignorance, it was indeed a tasty pizza. All said and done, try the pie in North Scituate if you can stomach an unhealthy serving of bigotry falling from the mouth of an ass. Thanks but no thanks, (In)Famous Pizza.

Small pizza place we stopped at on way to the airport. You seat yourself, look at menu, then go to counter to order. I ordered drinks also and they told me to get from vending machine. $ 1.75 each. Back to table, not a long wait, they bring pizza to table. We ordered Hawaiian. It was good sauce, plenty of toppings. When your done, you take your pizza pan/​trash to counter and pay. It was ok, inside décor different/​outdated for sure. It was quiet inside but busy with what looked like mostly regulars. I would have given it a 4 for the pizza but the wait on myself and getting the drink from the vending machine was a bit of a turn off. If you don’t mind that, it’s a nice quick place to stop going back to the airport or wherever. Total $ 20 not bad…

Used to be a regular stop. Not after today. First the place was freezing inside, ordered items we’d had before and definitely didn’t taste the same they went down hill. Spinach pie not, it was a roll flattened with cheese & spinach on top. More like open faced spinach bread. We mentioned it when we left and they said they get them from a bakery. They can’t even make their own spinach pie at a pizza place? The meatballs, chicken, & eggplant special all tasted like freezer burn and it just was not good. The chips & vending machine were the same.

Used to be a great place… I was here once or twice a week. Unfortunately, the owner died in Feb and since then the inmates are running the asylum. F– bombs by the help is the new normal along with a piss poor attitude. Until the heirs figure out how to run a business, I’d avoid it like the plague.

You order and pay at the counter. If you want a non-​alcoholic drink you can get it from a vending machine inside the restaurant. Pizza was very good, crunchy crust, overall good ingredients. I it is not a creamery, might have been before.

When I’m in the mood for greasy, comfort food, artery clogging pizza, I go to Famous.
The crust is chewy, with a crisp outside, just the way I like it. On the thick side, but not like chicago style. The pepperoni is cured and thick, to the point of where the oil pools inside the curled up little piece of goodness. I really did mean it when I said artery clogging.
I always get take away, but if you’re in the mood for sitting and enjoying your pizza, there is a bar area and you can watch your pizza being made. Take out has always been on time and never wrong. They also have beer. No waitresses, you just let the boys know what you want.
Like I said, there is a mood I have to be in to get Famous, and it’s not all the time, as I usually head down the street to Cuozzo’s, but when in the mood, Famous is good.
The Creamery was next door, but now the Village Tavern is there.
I’m not a fan of their pizza (it’s different) during the Art Festival, and it’s really misleading. The pizza is thinner, and its obvious that they are taking down their quality to make some extra money. I’m also not a fan of the parking, as there’s no dedicated ‘pick up only’ spots, and there is always overspill from the tavern/​bar next door.

I finally got out scituate to try this pizza joint, and suddenly want to spend more time out there because of it. Upon walking in the door we were welcomed and made small talk with the chef and his co-​workers. I ordered an eggplant sandwhich, it was the best I’ve ever had. I haven’t tried the pizza, but that’s next on my list. Overall, check out this place it’s a friendly, local joint with absolutely scrumptious food.

Famous Pizza makes me laugh because they’re not famous for their pizza everyone loves them for their sandwiches. This place has the best grilled chicken grinder ever. I always get it with provolone, green peppers, lettuce, tomato and mayo. It’s the friggin bomb. The guys who work in there are cool too… very chill.
Fun Fact: They have no fryolator so don’t expect to order fries or onion rings with your sandwich.

Really good crust! BBQ chicken pizza on point. Add bacon! worth the extra dollar.
they dont have fountain sodas, only a vending machine, so bring cash. they have an ATM, so thats convenient.
I used to live in Chepachet, and am saddened we didn’t order from here more often… now I live in VA, and am out of reach. Keep up the good work.

We have driven past this place so many times before deciding to stop in and I am so happy we did.
Actually, twice now and both times I had a veggie grinder which was amazingly good. Wonderful bread toasted perfectly and filled with all kinds of veggies, a generous amount of cheese and topped with oil.
I have yet to try anything else but the employees cooking the food and working at the counter were happy, attentive and kind which is always a good sign.

This is «OK» pizza for the area. I later found out that we should have gone to Nikos Pizza House.
