Came here after driving by and wanting to stop in for a while. I had the spicy pasta (I can't rememeber the name) it is peppers, marinara cooked with ricotta, meatballs and sausages and your choice of noodles. It was sooo delicious and a huge portion I have enough for lunch tomorrow as well. We also ordered the breadstick and it was delicious. Almost a pretzel taste to it. My bf got a cold sandwich and loved the bread. He really enjoyed it. We will definitley be back to try the hot sandwiches, clam pasta dish, and pizza. It all looks so good! read more

Fat Lorenzo's - The spicy pasta is so delicious! Came with more breadsticks but I took them off before the picture. - Pizza Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is my favorite greasy gooey zaza! I really enjoy the crust - crispy edge and bottom but soft on top still. Good sauce and toppings too! If you are looking for just good ole pizza, this is it! read more

Gave this place a try while I was in town. I had a pizza and some garlic breadsticks with cheese. The pizza tasted like they made it with store bought spaghetti sauce. The garlic breadsticks tasted like bread with I can't believe it's not butter. This place needs to work on the flavors. Maybe a new spaghetti sauce. read more

The pizza here is delicious. And I don't mean in your average pizza way. This pizza is made with love. I had the Alfrenzos pizza and pepperoni pizza both which were amazing. Definitely will come again! read more

The food was fabulous! We had ordered the stuffed manicotti, Alfredo linguine, and the rigatoni with meatballs. All the food was hot and extremely filling! However, The service was ok, it is a very small and cozy at the table as well as the space seemed a little cramped. Also, the gelato was delicious! Not too sweet, and definitely enough to feed 2 people with a Small read more

First time trying and I gotta say it blew my expectations and not only that these slices are huge and for a reasonable price highly recommend to try read more

This used to be one of our favorite pizza places. We don't live close by, so getting it was always a treat. But something has changed recently. The sauce lost some of its flavor and the cheese...well, the cheese was no better than Domino's quality. In fact, it really tasted like you were eating a Domino's pizza. The pizzas used to be amazing. Wonderfully flavorful sauce and a perfect blend of fresh cheese. I'm not sure if they changed vendors or are trying to cut corners by using lower quality ingredients, but today was the last time we'll eat their pizza. It's really a shame. Please bring back the Fat Lorenzo's taste and quality! read more

When I first walked in the door, I was a little confused on the seating situation. It was a cute and very small restaurant so they didn't have a host. Instead they had a chalk board that said write your name here. It wasn't very busy, we went mid afternoon so we just asked a server if we could sit down and he said yes. My friend and I split the dinner salad. It was good, just your basic dinner salad with olives. I really liked that our server completely split the salad for us, putting it in individual bowls. We then split a small Alfrenzo pizza. I was just not impressed with the pizza. I think it had to do with the crust because it was very bland and dry. I have a weird thing with biscuits and baking soda/powder and to me it seemed like there was too much in the crust. A tip I would have is go in a small group or even a pair. The seating is very in small and not good for big groups. I'd also try the gelato. I saw it as I was leaving and I was bummed I didn't order any. read more

Fat Lorenzo's - Alfrenzo Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A true neighborhood gem! So many excellent choices... The hard part is trying to pick! It's become for my wife and I a weekly date night as the food is excellent, totally affordable and the service is always wonderful. We always try for Dan, as he makes us feel like we're part of the Lorenzo's family - and he's totally on it! The only bummer is: we order, then items that others have ordered go by and it ALL looks so amazing... read more

Now to honest this place is truly a gem. I mean for a neighborhood spot, this place is worth a visit. From the friendly service, to the extra generous portions, which might seem larger than life. We stopped here the other day, looking for a place to stop, when we happened upon it. Now this place did not seem very busy for a Wednesday night, but yet they were attentive. When we walked over to the dining room, we were promptly seating within a minute or two of getting into that room. Now they did give us a few minutes to order our food, but it was not too difficult. I ordered a slice of sausage pizza, and a Nicoise tuna sandwich. My menu items seemed a little bit bigger than you normally see, and I at least had a free lunch, for the next day. The slice just seemed ginormous that I was full after a few bites. Of course that meant I was only able to nibble at my sandwich. Yet I really enjoyed the egg thrown in, since it added a new dimension to my sandwich. Of course the tomatoes counterbalances the taste of the tuna. I really so want to come back here, since they also offer a gelato shop, as well. Yet the ambiance really has a casual setting, which makes me just felt right at home. read more

Fast, reliable, consistent pizza. We order from here often and have always loved it.

I love fat Lorenzo pizza sooooo cheesy with just right amount red sauce! We are a regular here, we order delivery once a week! They are always busy in the weekend I don't even like order pick up here because there no where to stand or to move to get through the counter for pick up! But when comes to the taste of pizza, it's delicious!!!! Only reason why it's 4 out 5 stars is there consistency! Some day I get really poor made pizza where no cheese and crust is burnt or the crust is not done! Kinda hit or miss sometime! I have made a complaint there they told me they are hiring a lot new people so that might be the problem! I just need to know that one chef, that makes my pizza right!!! Overall good pizza! read more

My parents used to take me here when I was a small child and we lived a few blocks away, within training-wheel -biking distance of the shores of Lake Nokomis - so naturally Fat Lorenzo's has a special place in my heart. Place is quite small but quaint, go ahead draw whatever you want on your placemat before your food comes out: I generally get the shrimp Alfredo here but everything is great - my other half has found this is one of the few places where you can build an anchovy artichoke pizza (apparently this is authentically Roman - who knew?) read more

Upon entering I loved the paintings all over the walls and ceilings! Felt like a fun, local spot. The seating area is pretty small but we were seated right away, which was great! Split a garden salad and an Alfrenzo small pizza. The waiter was very friendly and even split up our salad into two bowls so we didn't have to bother doing that ourselves and gave us each our own preferred dressing. The pizza looked amazing but was kind of a let down for me. The Alfrenzo had alfredo sauce, chicken, artichokes, roasted red peppers, spinach, ricotta, mozzarella and provolone. All the toppings were great but the crust was very doughy. Maybe these toppings would be better on a flatbread rather than a think, doughy crust so it could be more crunchy rather than soggy-ish. The table next to us ordered a pepperoni pizza and it looked amazing so I may come back for that but I wouldn't get the Alfrenzo again. Didn't try the gelato but would love to stop by some nice summer day to grab and walk around the lake! read more

I stumbled across Fat Lorenzo's while driving to another spot for brunch. Needless to say, said spot had a ridiculous wait for a table. I loved that the seating area was smaller, it had a cozy feel to it! the service was awesome, and they were quick with everything. My boyfriend and I had the artichoke dip for an appetizer that was hands down the best either of us have ever had! We split the Paolo's alfredo and picante grassi. The alfredo was flavorful and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The picante pasta had just the right amount of spice to it and the giardiniera peppers (which are something I eat regularly) I'd never seen in pasta and were delicious! If we hadn't been stuffed, we would've had some gelato too! For the HUGE portion sizes the prices weren't outrageous, we will definitely be making this a regular spot for date nights and fun with friends! read more

Fat Lorenzo's - AMAZING artichoke dip, some of the best I've ever had - Pizza Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ordered something, it was wrong. Re-ordered, wrong in a different way. Re-ordered, wrong in ANOTHER way. Ordered again, and 5 minutes before it was supposed to be at my door, they cancelled the order THEMSELVES, claiming they made it right. No. I ordered Goat Cheese, Chicken, Bacon, and Pineapple. Note of "No Pizza Cheese" First time, it had no goat cheese. Second time, it had goat cheese AND pizza cheese. Third time, it was ham instead of bacon. We ordered it a FOURTH time, because I was still waiting for MY food, and they cancelled it on their own claiming to have made it right the first time. They did not, and are unwilling to admit the failure. read more

Was looking for a pizza place close to the airport and I was not disappointed! Great local place - so sick of chain restaurants! We didn't have to wait but it was busy for lunch on a Sunday! Waitress was perfect...didn't hover but was attentive. The pizza was INCREDIBLE and fast! Highly recommend! read more

It took over 2 hours to get our food that tasted like it had sat for days. Disgusting and unbelievable.

Food is amazing; welcome environment!!! Classic. Loved our time with Dan - attentive, courteous, engaging........ Will keep coming back!!! read more

Stopped here randomly. Great location by Lake Nokomis. Old school Italian place with pizza, pasta, and hoagies. Had a veggie hoagie, vegan style- no cheese and no butter. Veggies are nice and fresh. Toasted bread. Was tasty! Friend had garlic chicken and said it was very garlicky and had banana peppers mixed in. I would come back for sure. They have beer and wine and a cute interior with murals, wooden booths, and cans of tomatoes. read more

Charming, classic, laid back Italian pizzeria. Fun atmosphere - everybody around was very much enjoying themselves! We ran the menu from Peroni beer to THE MOST AMAZING artichoke dip to a Carne pizza, and topped it off with chocolate gelato. Endless deliciousness. Our server, Dan, was also exceptional. We hope to see him again when we inevitably return! P.S. - The Peperoncino!! read more

I order pineapple on anything I buy from Fat Lorenzo's. Great pizza can only be made better with pineapple period! Fat Lorenzo's ingredients are what makes their pizza so good. If you love their delicious crust and flavorful sauce, you will never be disappointed. I've been ordering pizza here for years and it is consistently very good. read more

Pizza here is delicious. Highly recommend it and can't wait to get it again. We had the meat lovers and it was great. Quick service and delivery was great through door dash. read more

Food- 5 stars Service-2 stars Food was delicious, but service was terrible. Our party was split because of its size, which was fine, but half finished eating before the others got their food. After paying, I was shorted $3 in change. If you have a large party, I would recommend calling for delivery. read more

Stopped here for lunch when I was working nearby. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is good. The place is quaint with lots of murals of Italy on the wall. My group and I ordered the Carne Pazza and Fats Combo pizzas, large. These pizzas are bigger than you think and they come out very hot! Didn't have to wait long did the pizza either. We had plenty of food and everyone enjoyed them a lot. I thought the pizzas were good, toppings were yummy, crust was very crispy which I liked. Our waiter was able to split our check four ways which was very convenient! Overall a good experience, would recommend! read more

Omg they have my favorite spaghetti in town that I've tried so far! Their meatballs are also amazing.

Much better than I expected. Being from NYC I am very picky with my pizza, and Italian food for that matter. So when I order pizza to a hotel, regardless of what locals say.....I do not expect much. This was not close to NYC....but tasty! Pizza was good, artichoke dip was awesome, and meatballs were different...in a good way. Overall a nice experience! read more

Not a great ambience it's quite shacky and outdoor sitting is on the road side basically but nice pizzas and salads.Great to stop for gelato too.Nice to be if in the area. read more

Got the garlic chicken alfredo and am pretty certain the sauce used is from a shelf-stable jar from the grocery store. I ate a few bites and couldn't finish it. The chicken also tastes pretty sketchy. I wanted to try the place and support a local business, but I'm not really interested in coming back. read more

This place has AMAZING artichoke dip! The pizza dough is a little too heavy and very lite on the sauce, when I ordered my pizza I was told they use a generous amount of cheese and sadly that was not the case. The pasta dish my husband ordered was disappointing as well, it lacked seasoning and contained very little of the ingredients listed on the menu. On the upside the service was great! If you're craving artichoke dip this place will most definitely hit the spot! read more

Fat Lorenzo's, located near Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, is another nice Italian dining option for those who want a more casual ambience. They are also known for their gelato, so it's makes for a great snack while walking around the lake or as a dessert after a juicy Lucy from the 5-8. Most of the menu items are typical of Italian fare, but I will say they have some unique sandwiches. I had the chicken cacciatore sandwich last time and I wasnt disappointed. Ive never seen that in sandwich form but it really was tasty. The service was also good. When I ordered, the server offered to give me a sample so I would known what it tasted like before spending my money. I thought that was a nice gesture. The space is somewhat small, but the outdoor seating makes up for it, especially on a nice day. Pros: Location near the lake, good food, gelato Cons: Not top of the line food, if it's a busy day you may have to walk a bit as it's mostly street parking read more

How do I say this? Fat Lorenzo's Pizza is terrible and great at the same time. Pizza aficionados will hate it, but those just wanting a big cheesy slice will love it. A medium supreme seriously weighs 10 pounds. It's nearly a deep dish. The crust is too thick (yet still soggy), there's too much cheese, and there's not enough flavor... but I also love it. It's great comfort food, and the box art is outstanding. In the end, I like it more than I dislike it. Give them your business. read more

Spectacular Italian food! And our waiter Dan, was amazing! Excellent service, and a funny, informative guy. Definitely going back ASAP

Best pizza in town! The slices are huge and the crust is perfect. The chicken alfredo is the best I've ever had from delivery.

So disappointed, this used to be our go to pizza shop when we were in town. Not anymore! Food quality has slipped, pizza was soggy, dough recipe either changed or isn't being followed anymore. Cheese seemed off as well. Turkey sandwich looked like it had been used to clean a dirty griddle. read more
