Fat Olives

We tried going twice when we were in town, but both days were booked. Tons of people and hours long wait. We finally decided to go for lunch on a Monday instead of during the weekend and we succeeded. Our waiter Ethan was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave us his recommendations. The Belgio Dolce Pizza had a smokey rich flavor and the Marmalade pizza was sweet and savory. I recommend you share pizzas so you can try multiple ones if you have a large party. The goat cheese bruschetta was delicious. The kids got some dough to play with at the table which was very fun for them. Overall great experience. Parking is tricky when they’re packed.

This was easily some of the best pizza I've ever had. Everything was extremely well balanced. I'm glad I tried the carnivore and the pepperoni, because the pepperoni allowed me to have a balance of cheese, sauce, crust, and toppings. The carnivore gave me all of that, but it also had more toppings which kind of overshadowed the cheese and sauce; but the bacon and sausage provided additional flavors that made the slice more enjoyable. The meals are also fairly priced. It's comparable to, if not better than, Phoenix prices. The only downside of going here is the wait times. It seems that no matter what time you go, the wait will be 15 minutes to an hour long. I'll likely be returning when I venture up north again. Fat Olives has earned 5 stars from me.

Started with the Wood Fired Stracciatella (House-made mozzarella, sweet cream, ricotta, sea salt. Served with house crostini, EVOO, honey balsamic reduction, cracked pepper $14.5). Didn’t honestly understand all of that menu description, but very glad we went ahead 😋 Pizza and dessert calzone rounded out our meal with plenty of pizza to bring home!

Great experience all around. Sitting at the pizza bar and watching the pizzas being made was a fun touch. The service was quick, the system runs smoothly, and the pizza was delicious. We ordered the Belgio Dolce and the Carnivore and both were excellent. Even with the Food Network attention, the quality is still top notch. Would absolutely recommend.

Great food. Unfortunately we waited 2 hrs for table. But food, staff and everything else was amazing. We tried burrata, traditional bruschetta, goat cheese bruschetta, classic margarita pizza, farmers pizza, olive pizza and shrimp spicy pizza. Shrimp spicy pizza was best. Issac was great server. Gave us Tiramisu on house given long wait.

I’m gluten free preference and have been for years. Our server told us to try the 00 flour they use on all their pizzas to try and save some money as she’s has others who are gluten sensitive eat and had no issues. So glad we did because I had no issues. 10/10 recommended! We got the Mrs. Piggy and Marmalade pizza, and the fat olives and arugula salads as appetizers, absolutely amazing. We also had the flourless chocolate cake. I can’t wait to come back to flagstaff to eat here again. Worth the trip alone from Duluth.

🌟Incredible food that warms the soul – A must-visit in Flagstaff🌟 We came here after a cold sunset at the Grand Canyon, and the food completely warmed our souls. Hands down the best pizza I've eaten in the States.🥰 The Highlights: 🍕 Belgio Dolce: The MVP of the night! 🏆 It’s an award-winning pizza with a white sauce base, pistachios, and a touch of honey. The flavor profile is incredibly rich and unique. 🍕 Half & Half Option （Shrimp Fra Diavalo & Ms Piggy): Yes, you can do half and half! It was double the joy without having to choose just one flavor. 🥗 Fat Olives Salad: We licked the plate clean! The mix of balsamic, pecans, currants, and cranberries was sweet, tangy, and super refreshing. I’m so sad we are only visiting the Grand Canyon for two days and don't live in Flagstaff.😭 We will definitely be back for this pizza next time!🤗

The food here was excellent, however it's a very busy place and the entrance for waiting is so small that everybody is touching shoulders. We waited for a table for about 20 minutes. When we were seated our waitress seemed to be maybe having a bad day, or something about the restaurant in general seemed off. Either way, I made sure to respond to our waitress by her name and after that she seemed to be a lot better, more friendlier and more helpful as we continued to eat. I had the Fat Olive Lasagna. My sister had the Miss Piggy pizza, and my other friend had I think just a regular pizza with chicken on it. The lasagna I had was a little spicy, had a lot of cheese which was yummy, and was just overall delicious! I did have some of the Miss Piggy Pizza which was delicious as well it had crunchy bits of bacon on it and I think it was made of pesto, it was very delicious! I also had a salad that had a lemon taste to it was very good as well! I recommend going here, however be prepared for the busyness, it's best to wait in your car, and they will text you when your table is ready...

Some of my best culinary excursions have taken place in Fat Olives. Flagstaff can be bogged down by fast food chains and expensive restaurants, but Fat Olives sits comfortably above the rest with its delicious pizzas and pastas; it's a classic for good reason. This particular dinner was for a banquet, and we dined in their private room, which is perfect for parties larger than ten in my opinion. The rest of the restaurant is lively, crowded, and welcoming. It's not too out there for an Italian restaurant when it comes to ambience, but it does lean on the rustic side. The staff is amazing and they are always helpful and friendly. I ordered the Marmalade pizza, which is a delicious sweet and spicy 'za that pairs nicely with a refreshing Italian soda (get strawberry). I'd recommend calling ahead if you plan to dine here, since it does get quite busy in the evenings, but walking in isn't too bad unless it's family weekend or something.

Fat Olives is the must visit Italian restaurant in Flagstaff. It's a quaint and ethnic dining area with an open view of the kitchen. Very Italian in the feel and lighting. There's plenty of room but the place gets packed. The servers and waiting staff are great. I had the meatball appetizer and they were fabulous!!! The Miss Piggy pizza is a creamy pesto pie with mortadella bacon crumble and caramelized onions. I enjoyed that pizza, especially the Neapolitan style crust thin inside with puffy crust. Terrific!!! I came because I visited place Guy Fieri visited on Diners Drive ins and Dives. This one was a good find, a strongly recommend you come enjoy this gem joint.

Service by Isaac was great! Came for weekday dinner and seated at pizza bar on walk in. Market salad with smoked salmon - great to have fresh Parmesan Diavola pizza - a bit oily for me and the crust was hard, perhaps a bit overcooked Lasagna - fresh tomato flavor - personally would've liked a bit more veggies like mushroom Pistachio gelato - very pistachio tasting! Would like to try blood orange sorbet or tiramisu next time

Visited the restaurant on Saturday, super busy even it's 1.30pm, way past lunch time. This review was for the arugula salad and pesto ham pizza (ms piggy). The pizza and salad were big portion. I like the sweet pecan bits on the salad, the salad dressing was light and refreshing. Pesto pizza was delicious with the ham and pesto sauce. We waited for 30 minutes to get seated, once we placed our order, the food came out quick within 10 minutes. Overall good food, quick and friendly service. Will be back soon for other things in the menu

First visit, Friday night visit, party of two. The wait time was originally quoted for an hour, with first available seating, we only had a 30 minute wait. The service was good. There was a small delay due to one of the pizzas we ordered being made incorrectly. Other than that no issues with the visit. The carnivore and bbq chicken pizzas were good. The toppings could have been more evenly distributed. Some pieces were missing toppings. The restaurant was full but it was not overly loud. They do charge a 4% service fee.

I love Guy Fieri, so I had to come eat here on my most recent trip to Flagstaff. Even on a Monday night, this place hardly had any reservations available but were able to accommodate us last minute since we came in early (around 4:30 pm). Ambiance here is cozy and inviting, what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. Their happy hour specials were great - a strong margarita for $5.50? Yes please. We were able to get a few rounds of those while waiting for the rest of the party to show up. We kicked things off with the burrata appetizer which was delicious and packed with prosciutto. I had to get the Belgio Dolce pizza, which Guy ate, as my main. What a mix of flavors - Brussel sprouts, Calabrian chili, Soppressata plus honey drizzle? Yes please. Waitstaff was incredibly accommodating as well. 10/10 spot if you're in the area.

Didn't have to wait for a table during lunch time. - Adovada 3.1/5 Honestly, it's such a basic pizza. The tomato sauce doesn't stand out, the dough tastes good but it flops a lot in the middle. The toppings were scarce. The cooked onions on top made the pizza pretty sweet. Not spicy at all. Not sure how they got 5th place international with this pizza. - Spaghetti & Meatballs 2.3/5 Super basic spaghetti and meatballs. They don't give you enough sauce, had to ask for more. The meatballs are just basic, nothing special. Lacked seasoning. The house salad was recommended over the Caesar salad but couldn't even taste the dressing! - Tiramisu 1.9/5 Not enough espresso/coffee taste, the mascarpone was too much. Comes in a jar.

Fat Olives is my main motivation to return to Flagstaff. A celebrated treasure featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, my main question was- is it worth the hype? Truly, if I had it my way, I would have tried a new dish here everyday of our stay! As I write this, I still long to try their desserts, so yes, I believe it is. The best decision of our trip was sitting at the pizza bar. At the pizza bar, you're able to watch the construction and execution of each dish, smell the scent of fresh tomato, hear each chop of the knife, and take in the magic that is the handcrafted woodfire oven. At the pizza bar, you're able to indulge in the bustling flow of the kitchen, but most importantly, at the pizza bar, you're able to converse with the chef. While casually twirling pizza dough on one hand, chef recommended we try a dish that we couldn't order anywhere else, so we did. A red pepper tapenade was the dish of the day, and this twist featuring red peppers, artichoke hearts and more served as the perfect appetizer to the kenai pizza. I can describe the flavor no better than Guy Fieri himself, so I won't attempt to, but it's certainly worth ordering. Too full to indulge in dessert, I'll be back! If you had any hesitation in visiting, I'd recommend visiting for lunch to avoid long wait times (we were seated immediately) and bringing a few friends as the pies feed 2 more or less. There are a lot of pizza options in Flagstaff. If you're willing to spend the calories, spend them here, where it counts.

Food was cool ( needed more seasoning. ) Restaurant was clean Service was wonderful Wait time is pretty long

We ordered Guy's recommended pizza and it was absolutely incredible! Wow! So delicious! The heat and sweet balance was just right! The crust was perfect. It was so good. The chicken Alfredo was yummy! Fresh homemade pasta! I loved the warm olives as an appetizer.

Everything was amazing. The last time we were in Flagstaff was in 2022 and I couldn't wait to come back, and I was hopeful that it wasn't a one hit wonder- and it wasn't!! The service was phenomenal. The roasted artichoke appetizer was so good; Our pasta dishes was amazing- lasagna and the bolognese, which I had with gluten free pasta. We had to leave room for dessert- the flourless chocolate cake as a gluten free option was heaven. We will definitely be back for a third round next time we are in Flagstaff!

Stopped in here while on a family vacation. We selected this place because we saw that it was a Guy Fieri favorite. The parking lot was fairly full but we found a spot. Now this place isn't amongst all the restaurants near the I-17/I-40 area. It's on the east end of town. Seeing lots of locals dining and lots of take-out orders was a good sign in my opinion. This is an Italian restaurant...not just a pizza place. And prices are reasonable for what you get. Upon arrival, we were told it would be a 30 minute wait for our party of 7. But they were able to seat us after just 10 mins! The inside decor is nothing overly fancy, but it was nice. There's even a covered outside eating area. There's a small bar area should you just wanna have a drink or two. Our waiter was always on top of things. Our food came very fast! Besides ordering some of the more popular dishes such as pizza and spaghetti, we decided to throw caution to the wind and ordered Stracciatella...something none of had even heard of. This appetizer was very tasty and a great beginning to our dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food and most orders were way larger than we expected. We definitely took our leftovers. If you're passing through the Flagstaff area and won't some great Italian foo, this should be one of your top option.

It was all fresh and delicious, nicely designed and friendly. I took my nieces for some Italian soda and salads/ pasta dishes/ desserts. We had fun and enjoyed the grotto ambiance. Thank you:))

Fat Olives was absolutely bustling the Saturday night we came by. We had a reservation but still waited 15-20 minutes. Service is very kind. Appreciate the vegan cheese option!!!! We tried a variety of pizzas- including the Guy Fieri ones & other award winning pizzas. I had the Farmers with vegan cheese. We enjoyed the pizza, but maybe it doesn't quite live up to all the hype?? I thought it was good, but not nearly best pizza ever. It did come out surprisingly fast despite how busy they were. My husband tried the tiramisu and same takeaway- good but not amazing. Definitely make reservations if you want to check this place out and it's a solid choice!

Awesome experience! Tasty food! The food is so good! We ordered pizza and the chicken parmigiana. They were both excellent. The pizza is very thin and you can fold it when you eat. It was freshly made and so good. Everyone loved their pizza that was in our party. The chicken parmigiana is awesome. The sauce is a white and red sauce combined. It's not acidic. It was so tasty! Everything is made In the brick oven. This pace is a certified Italian restaurant, Guy Fieri approved. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting Italian. The old fashioned was also excellent. The r local red ale was yummy. I would return.

The was rated as the best Italian in town. The wait was super long. I was excited so I ordered a lot of food. Of course I had to start with the roasted olives. After all, that's the name of the restaurant. The bacon bruschetta was amazing! Wow, I never had anything that good before. The pizza was cooked in a brick oven and it was supposed to be delicious. I thought Blaze pizzas were better. And the spaghetti bolognese dish was mid at bests I was a little disappointed. Overall, it was still a very good restaurant, but I wasn't the best Italian food I've eaten. If I was in town, I would definitely come back, but I'll order different dishes.

One of the Best Pizza's you will find. We had one of the pizzas Guy Fieri had when he reviewed this place. Great touches like calabrian Chili oil and crushed pistachios make these pizza's stand out above other! Great wine list and reasonable prices! Great deserts, including Fresh stuffed Cannoli that had one of the lightest fluffiest fillings!!!!!! Parking is a little tight and be prepared to wait to be seated as there always seems to be a line!! We sat at the bar as there were just two of us and it was great as the waitress made sure we were well taken care of.....

Amazing dining experience! We were there on a Wednesday, i highly recommend reservations on weekends. It's busy because it's really good! We got to sit at the Pizza Bar-hand tossed dough and a beautiful Italian pizza oven right in front of you. We had the Guy Fieri pizza with smoked salmon! Delicious! And an appetizer of meatballs, perfect portion for 2. Great service throughout. Lots of seating options, regular bar, pizza bar, cozy 2 tops and large tables.

This was a cozy little spot to stop off for dinner on our way to Grand Canyon. It was a weeknight at 530p and already busy. Looks like there is a happy that ends at 5pm that is a decent deal. Ambience is busy, small, cozy, old fashioned style place. Service is a bit slow and inconsistent. Food is ok. Pizza was good, but also burnt. Grilled chicken on salad was pretty dry and overdone. See pics. It's a convenient stop, and maybe if you're here for happy hour, it'd be a better deal.

Yum! We were visiting Flagstaff and wanted something we could just pick up but that was filling on the day we got there. We went with Fat Olives! It was about an hour for the food after we placed the order, and this was on a Thursday night. When I went in to pick it up, it definitely looked busy inside! Service when picking up the food was lovely, very nice hostesses. For food, I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, which had chicken and mushrooms. So good! The chicken was grilled to perfection, and I loved it. The sauce was also spot on, sometimes alfredos can be very bland but this was seasoned very well. I can see why this place gets so busy! The portion sizes are generous and the price is pretty good. If we lived here, I would be coming way too often. If we are ever back in town, this will be on the list to visit again!

This place rocks small town atmosphere with great family service and creative pizza. Glad timing worked for my trip from Cortez to Phoenix to find this gem of a pizzeria in Flagstaff

Service, the food, and workers!! Amazing part was the chef came to all tables to talk to his customers , made it so personable, Something I had not seen in a while. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend and the wait for.

We were seated at the bar upon checking in at the front desk. They were very busy for a Sunday at 5pm. The bartender, Jennifer, was very busy but attended to our every need and checked in with us often. She was a gem. The scene was lively. You could watch the pizzaioli making the pizzas in the wood-fired oven. The meatballs were soft and moist with a delicious sauce. The stracciatella was an ample and filling appetizer. I would have preferred to have much smaller slices of crostini with which to eat it. The pizza had a really nice crust and the toppings were just the right amount. You can def tell they are using high quality ingredients and care about the food they are serving. They're popular for good reason.

This was the second time we've been here, the first being many years ago. It was just as good as we remembered! We got one of the pizzas featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives and it was Devine. The 10 hour Ragu with the meatballs was a nice touch! Even on a busy Friday night, we got seated quickly in the bar for two. It's a tight squeeze at some of the high tops but the service was quick so it made up for it. Highly recommend!

On my recent visit to the Flagstaff area we found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. There was a wait for a table when we arrived so we opted for seats at the bar. We ordered drinks from the bartender.. I had a peach sangria that was delicious & refreshing! We shared two pizzas the Carnivore which was delicious with its San Marzano tomatoes, pepperoni, fennel sausage, bacon & crumbled meatballs and the famous Belgio Dolce Pizza with the white base and finished with honey & crushed pistachios. They have a great menu, fast and friendly service .. I'm looking forward to a return visit. Check them out next time you're in flagstaff.

Authentic Italian pizza right here in the mountains. I went with a Flagstaff local who said Fat Olives was a can't miss, and it did not disappoint. It was a busy Saturday night, but the wait was quick allowed us to enjoy the fresh air, great company, and delightful aroma of the pizza oven. Our waiter was super friendly and gave a great recommendation for the food. As a table, we started with the Burrata. It was a beautiful plate with fresh and exciting flavors that got the meal off to a great start. For dinner, I had the Shrimp Fra Diavalo. Spicy, bold, and dynamic were a few ways to describe the flavor profile of which I'd never had on a pizza. It was a bit pricey for pizza, but everyone loved what they got and I would love to go back!

Hands down sone of the best pizza I've ever had! My boyfriend and I came by for dinner while stopping in Flagstaff as the first night of our road trip home. And this was a fantastic way to start our trip. We were there in a Friday night about 6 and luckily were able to be seated in the bar area in about 20 minutes. The wait was worth it! The place was packed, but we managed to get ding off the best seats in the place by having a view of the brick oven and the guys assembling the pizzas. Brick oven style pizzas are my favorite and these were cooked perfectly. Plus, they had a great selection of pizzas with toppings that are fresh and delicious as well as some traditional.

I am so glad we were told about Fat Olives when we were in town! Everything we had here was spectacular. I ordered the Parma & Arugula and I will be ordering this every-time now. I also normally do not like prosciutto but it was amazing on this pizza. Also if you are a chocolate lover, definitely get the chocolate mousse for dessert.

First time's a charm with our order of Kenai Pizza with house-smoked salmon, ricotta, & mozzarella; also known as Guy Fieri's entrée. Such a cozy, quaint & romantic esthetic atmosphere with our seating that had a great view of the pizza stove oven. Kenai Pizza was served fast & still so warm to the touch that the cheese was trying to slide off, LOL. My boyfriend ordered Pomegranate Italian soda. He thought it had a bit too much cream. Wonderful staff that made us feel so welcomed, thanks so much to all the staff of Fat Olives!!

Been here a few times and it never disappoints! We got the Calabrian Dolce on gluten free crust and The Godfather pizza on Labor Day weekend. It's always delicious and the service is always good. They do get pretty busy and sometimes there is a wait.

This place is definitely a must if you're in the area.. We had the most amazing service and pizzas! Our server, Devin was incredibly friendly and personable. He helped us pick out some pizzas and came to check in on us multiple times. Seriously some of the best service I've ever had. We ended up ordering the adovada and belgio dolce pizza which were both super unique and yummy! The adovada pizza had super spicy pork that was super flavorful. If you're not a big fan of spicy stuff i'd skip out on it though, it's got a kick to it! The belgio dolce pizza balanced the spice out nicely and had a sweet aftertaste. The margarita pizza was good as well, a very classic italian staple. As a CT native (the pizza state) and a pizza lover I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is some of the best pizza i've ever had. Fat Olives truly has a classic Italian-style pizza and the most delicious sauce and toppings. I hope to be back in the future!

The service was good as well as the food. Cute ambiance. Was ok for a quick pit stop off the highway heading to LA. Check it out if you love olives like me!!! Xoxo Niecee

The pizza was so good! Our service was excellent and the bar area was cute and it smells so good throughout the whole place! Next time we're in flag we're definitely coming back.

Wow. This place delivers again and again and again. We had the lasagna, Caesar salad, olive appetizer and Berry Sangria. All were spectacular. Service was friendly and accurate. Only place with better lasagna is the Mona Lisa in Little Italy, San Diego--extremely high praise. They heat the mixed assortment of olives that transforms them. The lasagna is savory, gooey and simply delicious. The caesar salad was fresh, with nice back-note of anchovy. Only recommendation was salad could a slight bit more dressing--a wee bit dry. The sangria was tasty with a surprising strawberry finish. The wood fired pizza dominates the interior and gives a casual--welcoming vibe. It's a must try in Flag.

You must try their pizza! Fat Olives has such a great crust and cheese on their pizza. We had the Adovada and really liked it. Although, we added the chili oil and I wish we would've thought to add honey too because it was spiiiicy. I wish we would've gotten two pizzas because the 'za was definitely the star of the show. The Alfredo was decent, but didn't have a ton of flavor in my opinion. We ended with the cheesecake which was really rich but tasty. You can't ever go wrong with cheesecake! I was surprised by how affordable everything was. We'll definitely be back during our next flagstaff trip.

Oh my god!! I don't know where to begin with this. We came to Flagstaff and we had pizza on our mind. The first place we went to didn't meet our expectations so we decided to try this place out. When we got there, there were quite a few people waiting to put their name down/get seated; however, DON'T LET THIS DISCOURAGE YOU!!!! TRUST AND BELIEVE, there's a reason why the line is going out the door. The wait wasn't even that long and we were seated in front of the kitchen so it was fun watching the cooks make the food. We ended up getting the Adovada and the Belgio Dolce Pizza. I am not a pizza a person but this pizza was so good. I wasn't a fan of the Belgio Dolce Pizza (because I don't really like when my sweet and savory mix, but my boyfriend loved it) but I DESTROYED the Adovado. The meat was spicy and the sauce was so good. The best pizza I have ever had. The interior is also super cute and fits the aesthetic with the them.

I had an unpleasant takeout experience with Fat Olives recently. I ordered online and showed up a bit before my scheduled pickup time. No one likes arriving to pick up cold pizza that was ready 10 minutes ago. I was told it was going to be another 15-20 minutes, that's fine, I was early. I go back to the front after 20 minutes and I was told it was going to be another 15-20 minutes because they were super busy and "have to prioritize the in-house guests." What!? Are in-house guests paying more than takeaway customers? I get the desire to cycle people through the restaurant as quickly as possible but that seems like a terrible deal for takeout customers. And not to split hairs, but I spent the last 20 minutes "in-house." The food is great and they're arguably one of the best Italian restaurants in Flagstaff, but I can't say I'll order takeout from them any time soon.

Cute cozy place with delicious pizza and tasty drinks. We had the Margherita pizza 10/10 perfect crisp and flavor. You can't go wrong starting with a good Caesar salad and Stracciatella. They have great Happy Hour with food and beverage choices. Our server Liam was amazing!

This place was sooooo good! Probably some of the best pizza we've had. The pasta was up there too!! Good portions and friendly service staff. Devon was our server and he was amazing! It was our first time in and he made us feel welcome and gave us a full back story of the restaurant, which was cool to hear. We went last night but are contemplating getting it for lunch today. The only thing I will say, is if you get a high top table it gets a little cramped but definitely wouldn't deter me if it was the only table available.

WOW! I am full and very happy writing this review after dining here for dinner tonight. We arrived around 4:45 pm and were seated immediately -- this place filled up quickly though for a Wednesday night! I wanted to try this place because I knew it was featured on Guy Fieri's show. Our server let us know that most items are flown in from Italy and they are VPN certified (a special distinction for Versace Pizza Napoletana -- reserved for authentic Italian). To start, we ordered the Fat Olive salad -- fresh greens, goat cheese, cranberries, candied pecans with a house lemon vinaigrette. It was excellent and fresh! Nicely balanced, decent portion and a great start. For our entrees, we ordered the Belgio Dolce, the Carnivore and a pepperoni pizza for our daughter. The Carnivore was good -- loaded with lots of different meats with a red sauce. The Belgio Dolce was excellent -- something very unique and different. Looking at the ingredients, you may wonder why this pizza would taste remotely good but it all works well. I am not normally someone who opts for white pizzas but it was so tasty -- shaved brussel sprouts and pistachios surprisingly worked so well with the other ingredients. I would absolutely order this again. I normally don't order dessert but felt I had to since everything else was so amazing. We chose the Tiramisu -- wow! So creamy and balanced -- possibly one of the best I have ever tried. I am not normally a Tiramisu person but this house made dessert is something I'd order again when we visit again. Isela was our server and she was excellent -- very knowledgeable about the menu and offered the best recommendations. It's been a while since I have had truly excellent service (even though it got super busy -- great job balancing it all!) We look forward to visiting again!

First time here and despite the big crowds the staff was very kind and friendly. Food was amazing, definitely recommend

Definitely recommend stopping here for some amazing pizza! Initially we were hesitant since we had a ways to drive still and pizza can be a bit heavy however my husband convinced me after he saw that Guy from Diner Drive Ins and Dives had been here. We walked in and got seated right away however within 10 mins it started getting packed with more ppl! Service was quick and our server was super friendly! Within minutes we got our drinks, i highly recommend the cherry smasher mocktail! I appreciated that it was fairly priced given that many times now mocktails are priced so similarly to actual alcohol drinks! The mocktail was on the sweeter end but the tartness of the cherry and the carbonation made for an elevated cherry drink! We weren't sure what to get so we asked our server for recommendations and went with the Ms. Piggy Pizza! As you can see in the videos it's about 10-12" and there were about 8 slices. Between my husband and I, it was devoured! The Ms. Piggy is the perfect combination of pesto, a cheesy mozzarella & provolone. On top and around the center were the pieces of smoked bacon, and roasted onions which gave it a sweet flavor. The pizza crust was thin and crispy! Can't wait to go back and try other menu items!

I always enjoy visiting Fat Olive's when I'm in Flagstaff! The staff, vibrant atmosphere and infectious vibe are always fun and a feast for the senses. Our reservations were promptly acknowledged and my wife and I were whisked to our table. Unfortunately the table was roughly the size of a postage stamp. The corner we were at behind the bar only added to the feeling of claustrophobia. I was shocked when my Caesar Salad was heaped with a topping of what was essentially crouton dust. It's ground into a gritty, sandy like texture here. I much prefer a traditional, crispy crouton. I'm not sure who thought this was a good culinary idea, but I hope I'm never served a salad like that again. It only made matters worse that the romaine greens were quite underdressed. The food here comes out way too fast. I was only 5 or 6 bites into my giant crumb covered salad when our main dishes came out. Given that we were sitting at such a tiny table it only made matters more cluttered, awkward and uncomfortable. Not how you want to feel on a nice evening out. I had the Rigatoni dish which is baked off with Italian sausage and melted cheeses. I appreciated that it was served bubbly hot, sadly though the pasta was overcooked way past al dente. Had an unfortunate mushy mouthfeel. We did enjoy the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake, however the name is somewhat of a misnomer. It's basically just a slice of a New York style cheesecake with a caramel drizzle. I think next time I'll just stick with one of their reliable and tasty pizzas.

I got the Belgio Dolce pizza. I didn't taste any chile oil on it but it was good. I also tried the fungi pizza which was good, the red sauce was really good! Both pizzas were pretty wet and a little soggy but tasted good

Everything was great! The food had lots of flavor! The salad was sweet and salty, the pizza was thin but good, and the bruschetta was great with the pistachios (something I've never had on bruschetta before). Overall a great dining experience with friendly staff, good food and a semi loud restaurant. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

Tried their award-winning Belgio Dolce Pizza--pretty good. The crust had a perfect balance of crunchy exterior and pillowy, soft center. The toppings were unique (crushed pistachios and Brussel sprouts), but overall it was an average gourmet pizza. Our food was served very quickly. Aside from that, the service was average. The place filled up quick on a Sunday. I went in about 10 minutes after they opened and was seated right away, but left just before noon and found people waiting outside.

We came in for lunch with our kiddos and our fur baby. I loved their patio area, so cute. The service was great. Our server was very nice and checked in on us regularly. Now onto the food, we ordered the caprece, rigatoni, chicken Parmesan, and the margarita pizza from the regular menu, we ordered meatballs from the happy hour menu. Drinks, we got a peroni and house margarita from the happy hour menu. My son got a mock tail. The reason why I didn't give them 5 stars is a dirty water glass and the Caprece was not good. Everything else was good. Overall it was a great experience.

This place has great traditional italian food and hits the spot. They have a great mix of pizza and pasta. The kitchen is open and fun to sit at the pizza bar and watch. We got the Miss Piggy pizza and the pesto spaghetti and both were amazing. The service was attentive and very nice. The kitchen guys were a joy to watch. Absolutely should come to this place.

Came on recommendation of family member. Arrived at 4:50pm on a Tuesday and the restaurant was busy and they only had seating at the pizza bar. They were busy and watched them making allot of pizzas. Ordered the fennel sausage pizza and added mushrooms and arugula. When it arrived asked if they had any balsamic reduction and they provided a small cup. Crust was nice and cooked well. The only issue I had it was not cut well and had to use the knife to cut each piece.
