This is a very popular local place. We were staying a night in Flagstaff and found it online. We actually arrived in the dinner period and found it already packed. Fortunately, they were able to accommodate us immediately. We ordered a 'regular' style pizza, as opposed to their Neapolitan offerings. Should we return, we'll try those. The pizza was classic wood-fired oven style with crispy crust and flavorful toppings. Most enjoyable. The staff were attentive and friendly, offering good advice about the menu. The local beers we tried were as good as we expected. Parking was a bit of an issue. Their lot is barely able to accommodate the amount of business they draw in. And the lot is on a busy major street, making it a bit more complicated to get in and out of. Prices are reasonable, given the quality and variety of the menu.

We really enjoyed our dinner here (meatballs, pizza, desserts). Didn't realize it had been on TripleD until I saw the menu (then remembered seeing the owner on the show). It was busy but we didn't have to wait (on Sunday evening).

one of the best meals we had on our 6 week adventure. Husband was happy b/c the pizza had sauce and toppings out to the crust vs places that leave 1" of dough with nothing on it. I had the chicken parm and WOWOWOW I now understand why it is highlighted as one of their specials. I combined red sauce with alfredo sauce which gave it such a great flavor.

Fat Olives would have received a higher rating if they could locate the Sausage that we paid extra for and put it on all of the slices of our pizza, so you could taste the Fennel in the Sausage. Sadly, two of the slices on a regular size Margherita Pizza had no Sausage and the Sausage on the rest of the pizza was really ground too thin to taste. The rest of the Margherita Pizza had the right quality ingredients and the heated olives were also good, so no leftovers. The happy hour prices are very reasonable. Quality Control of placing extra ingredients ordered on each pizza needs to be vastly improved. If you still decide to go, make sure the pizza that you order has everything that you paid extra for on it or try somewhere else.

Pizza wasn't cut all the way through and wasn't hot so they remade it. We weren't given side plates for our appetizers and they forgot to bring us water. The tiramisu had no sweetness whatsoever. lots of quality control issues.

First time trying this place. Hands down best pizza. I'm so glad I stopped in to try it out. I got the Shrimp Fra Diavalo (Spicy). Loved it. Also got a house made strawberry Italian soda. For dessert I got the Crème Brulee cheesecake.

We could see why the was a waiting line as this was a great choice for lunch or anytime. I had the Carnivore pizza while my wife had meatballs and sauteed artichokes. Service was friendly and fast. It was a bit noisy with some many happy customers packed in but fun and tasty.

As soon as we walked in the door I knew from the delicious smell that we had made a good choice. The food was delicious

We were there on Halloween and the wait staff was in costume...to our delight our waitress was dressed as Guy Fieri ...we had been here in August and ate here because we saw he had been there. At the time we were on our way to Windsor CA to watch the TOC taping that airs this November! We will be back anytime we come to Flagstaff!

Service was great and the food was good. Pizza was a bit burned around the edges, and the house made limoncello was more sour/bitter than expected. Ambience is cozy, and the desserts were awesome!
Excellent food and drinks. The olive appetizer is very yummy with the flatbread app and the Alfredo pasta with shrimp was also very good. The mushroom pizza was also delish and we had enough food left over to enjoy it again tonight at home!!

Pizza crust was amazing , Limoncello margarita was was favorite drink of all time now. Worth the wait must make reservations very busy

I always go to Fat Olive's when I pass through Flagstaff. All of their food is outstanding but I love their roasted vegetable appetizer and their pizzas. The ambience is very nice and the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

Overall great experience at Fat Olives. This place is popular! I am so glad we made a reservation. Fun vibe and atmosphere. The big pizza oven is the centerpoint of the main dining area. The staff was very friendly. The service is fast. The food was very good. We had the goat cheese brushetta. The honey was a great touch and the tomatoes were so sweet. We also had the Fennel sausage pizza. The crust is one of the best I have ever had. But since it is so thin, it can get droopy in the middle under all of the toppings. We definitely recommend and we would return on a future trip to Flagstaff.

My carnivore pizza was incredible-best pizza I've ever had. Unfortunately, I don't live in Flagstaff so I can't enjoy this at least once a week. Service could have been a bit more friendly, but she had a lot of customers to deal with.
