We wanted pizza and read the reviews of all places here. Expected a good enough pie. But we LOVED our pies! They know what’s vegan and were happy to substitute in our favor. Worth every penny.

It is actually deserving of all the hype! I’m a total skeptic and usually avoid places with crowds, but absolutely sold on Fat Olives. The pizza and sandwiches are really well done - fantastic crust and fresh flavorful ingredients. The house made Italian sodas are really special. Warm cozy atmosphere and very accommodating to our toddler. Friendly but not pushy service. We went during lunch to avoid the crowds and we were seated right away. The parking lot is small so I could see issues finding a spot during peak times, but no issue for us during lunch. Definitely a must do in Flagstaff!

My husband and I came to Fat Olives while visiting Flagstaff, the food was absolutely incredible. We were lucky to have Mady as our server, she was very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. We will definitely be back next time we visit!

Actually the best place to eat ever!! It was Valentines Date Night, so the place was super busy, but every single worker was so locked in. We never had to wait for a drink, food took maybe 10 minutes max, and it was so delicious. The ambiance is amazing and everyone was so nice! Our server, Izaac, was the chillest dude ever. Super sweet, knowledgeable about the menu, and really quick service. Overall super amazing experience!!

I spent my birthday today , here at Fat Olives. I just moved here with my kids and heard such great things I had to try this place out. Trust me when I say the food is phenomenal! The staff is so kind, efficient, and professional. ...it's a small cozy place and the atmosphere feels like your eating at home. The Burrata, lasagna, pizza, and Gelato were beyond belief and you get to watch them flip the dough in the air! It's so cool! I loved loved loved Fat Olives and will be a regular here. Thank you for making my birthday so wonderful.

I have to be honest and say that the pizza here is world class. I have traveled to Naples and eaten at Michelin starred pizzerias there, and the pie at Fat Olives actually surpasses them. It is absolutely nothing bad, just pure perfection on a plate. The vibe matches the food, too. It has a really nice open concept kitchen that makes the whole place feel like a big Italian family household where everyone knows each other. It feels like a true neighborhood spot. However, the service was a different story. It seems like if you don’t write your order down for them, you had better remember it yourself. We ordered three items and two of them were forgotten, even though they were all put in at the same time. I don’t want this to reflect badly on the overall quality of the restaurant because the food is just that good, and I understand everyone has off days. Still, a 33% success rate for getting orders to the table is pretty rough. Go for the incredible food, but just be ready to double check that your full order actually arrives.

Amazing place for pizza. I can drive from phoenix to this place just for their pizza. Just make sure you do the reservation coz I had to wait 30 mins, but worth it.

Amazing! Hands down the best chicken parm I’ve had in my entire life. Service was amazing. I loved the atmosphere. If you are in the area you have to visit.
The food was very good, service was excellent and a good selection of local beers. This place is known for their pizzas and they are incredible. Highly recommend. We will remember this place the next time we are in the area.

Slow service and average food. We ordered goat cheese and smoked salmon bruschetta , the goat cheese ones tasted sweet and good 4/5 and smoked salmon were too salty 2/5.
Caesar salad was a bit wilted and instead of croutons it was bread crumbs on top 2/5 for the salad and I had no silverware when they brought the salad and had to wait to ask for a fork.
For entrees we had the Bbq chicken pizza and spaghetti meatballs and pesto pasta. The bbq chicken pizza was below average, bland sauce , too much raw onions and chicken tastes like chicken from subway. frozen CPK pizza would be better than this. 2/5 for the pizza.
Spaghetti meatballs was ok not much flavor 2/5 for the spaghetti and pesto pasta was good. 4/5 for the pesto pasta.
Dessert cheesecake was very average grocery store like cheesecake. 3/5 for cheesecake.
Tiramisu was good. 4/5 for the tiramisu.
Overall a very disappointing experience and sorry to say we will not recommend or be back !
