Famous Famiglia is the new Official Six Flags Pizza

[sfgam1]

Looks like the company dropped Papa John's and made Famous Famiglia the new Official Pizza of Six Flags!

Never had it. Is it pretty good?

They had Famous Famiglia at the IL Tollway Oasis' since they were remodeled up until a year or so ago, I had it once, it's was pretty much a Sbarro clone, though I like Sbarro's a little better. Either way it's a heck of a lot better than SFGAm proved they could do on their own up until Papa Johns stepped in

I wish every park could decide for themselves what food they want to serve, Chicago has way to awesome a pizza (both deep dish and thin) to be stuck with national chains or the GFS special! I'd probably go ahead and say the same for SFGAdv with New York/New Jersey Pizza heritage.

I think every Six Flags should have some local chain making their pizzas for em. When you have a large nationwide chain doing the food, it can only mean that the food will either be hit or miss, good or bad. Some pizza chain in the area should make pizzas for our park only. Same idea for the rest of the parks. I wouldn't mind Little Caesars making pizzas for our park either. They are real good pizzas for only $5 each. Yum. Well, now I will have to try Famous Famiglia aka "famous family" pizza at the park. I will let everyone know how it is once the park opens, which by the way is just about 2 months away!!

I don't know about Little Caesers, I can't see any scenario where a pizza in the park would be $5, but to add a little aside to my original comment, I'm kinda surprised that a major national chain didn't pick up the sponsorship like say Pizza Hut or Domino's.

Cause honestly if it wasn't for the Tollway locations I would never have heard of Famous Famiglia's in my life, and even still, it's not a name that congers up images in my mind of awesome or even good pizza. With a captive audience I suppose it doesn't really matter much, but still something that leaves me pondering.

I remember at Geauga Lake (then Six Flags Ohio, then Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, then Geauga Lake again), there was a Pizza Hut in the park and that was the only place in the park I was willing to eat at rather than leave and come back. I knew exactly what I was getting regardless of the quality, the price was a better deal then leaving to eat, in addition to the convenience factor. I think people just knowing exactly what they are going to get on their plate at the advertised price makes people more like to drop some cash in the park rather than getting some unknown stuff at extraordinarily high prices that they have probably had a bad experience with in the past where it suddenly seems worth it to loose 90 mins at the park to leave and come back just to end up eating at some chain restaurant anyways.

^I agree with you on the national chain part. The problem I see is Papa Johns screwed that up for a lot of chains. Instead of using their regular product, SF parks got this beyond awful "pizza" if you can call it that and extremely high prices. Odd part was, not every park in the chain had the same Papa Johns pizza. SFKK used a New York style that was actually good and quite reasonable.

Hopefully Famous Famiglia is worth the price. As long as they use somewhat solid sauce they will be better than WDW pizza and not the worst in amusement parks.

Bring back the old Firehouse Pizza, that was good pizza and not too expensive!!!

Honestly, I Wish all Food & Shopping Franchises left the park.

But I understand why Six Flags Does It. So...

I avoid tollways like a plague, so I have never heard of Famous Famiglia's before.

I wonder if anyone from the park REALLY takes our opinions on this site seriously?

[sfgam1]

They do if they agree!

I agree 100%!! I still have that pizza on occasion as they have a location down in the southwest suburbs on Cicero Ave. Simply Slices was awesome. We would always end our day at the park with a slice from them!

Did anyone see Famous Famiglia this past weekend? I am very very curious as to how their food is like. Although they aren't listed as Famous Famiglia on SFGAM's website, they are listed as Firehouse Pizza featuring Famous Famiglia. I think theres a few new eatery places/restaurants. Either that or they renamed existing restaurants.Im not sure on all the restaurants that are at the park but a few stood out: Claimjumpers in Yukon Territory, Fiesta Fries & Fajitas in southwest territory, Firehouse Pizza feat. Famous Famiglia in Hometown Square, Kidzopolis Snacks in County Fair, Pizza Orleans and Primo's Pizzeria both located in Orleans Place, Sticky Fingers in County Fair, and finally, Trolley Treats ICEE Mix it Up in County Fair. Wow. County Fair sure got a bunch of new restaurants. Its making me hungry...nom nom nom

While I rarely if ever look at SFGAm TR's, I was browsing a few around here to see some pics of what's going on, and I forget who, but someone posted a less than glowing review of the new pizza.

[T.K.]

That pizza is shitty.. I'm sorry but for me it tasted like high school cheap pizza... Don't bother buying cheese sticks.. its just wrong

[Necropolis]

Don't forget about the very high prices for the food. I mean I haven't been to those restaurants but I don't need to have gone inside to know that the prices are ridiculously and obviously high up there. Come'on its common sense!! Duh!

What was wrong with the cheesesticks not fresh or what

[RBullFan97]

I had the pizza at the County Fair Food Court on Saturday. Believe it or not, I actually kind of liked it. Maybe I would have prefered it if it was in the personal pizza form, but the taste was still good though. Have not tried the cheese sticks, however. Of course, one thing that has not changed is price.

^I enjoyed the pizza as well
