    Sabrina M.

    If you're looking for a solid Italian spot in Flagstaff, Fat Olives is definitely worth a visit. We started with the fried artichoke hearts with basil aioli, and they absolutely stole the show--10/10. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the basil aioli paired beautifully with them. We also ordered the Burrata & Prosciutto appetizer, which was very good (8/10). My only suggestion would be a little more balsamic drizzle and a pinch more flaky sea salt to really make the flavors pop. For my entrée, I tried the Belgio Dolce Pizza, a 3rd Place winner at the International Pizza Expo. The combination of house-made mozzarella, pecorino Romano, shaved Brussels sprouts, Calabrian chili oil, Molinari soppressata, local honey, and crushed pistachios made for a unique and enjoyable pizza. The crust had a fantastic texture, and you can tell they know how to make a proper pie. I'd give it an 8/10. While the flavors worked well together, I felt it could have used just a touch more seasoning to really bring everything to life. We visited around 1 p.m. on a weekday, just as they seemed to be coming off the lunch rush. Having worked in the service industry myself, I completely understand busy shifts, so this isn't meant as a complaint--just an observation. It did take a little over 10 minutes before anyone greeted our table, and our waters didn't arrive until about 15-20 minutes after we were seated. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The food was fresh, the atmosphere was welcoming, and despite a slower start to service, we'd happily stop by again the next time we're in Flagstaff.

    The Father's Day special menu with jokes on the back

    I had heard quite a bit about this restaurant as we have been looking for what would be the places to go with great food. Frankly, I don't know what the Hoopla is about and why it has 4 1/2 stars, but the ambience was cute. As to the food, I thought it was average at best. I had the rigatoni and I was expecting to have more of distinguishing flavors like I have had with other Italian meals that also have fennel sausage in it because I'm a big fan of it. This was very bland and when it was served, it was warm and not hot. My wife had the chicken Parmesan and it was served in a very hot iron dish which probably they should do for most dishes to keep it nice and warm. Hertz was definitely better and I would give it 3 1/2 to 3.75 stars for its meal, but it wasn't necessarily memorable. The server was pleasant, and after we were served, took a little bit of time before she came back to check in on us, and then as we had finished relatively early, keeping half of our meals for later, we didn't see her for quite some time. It was definitely getting packed because we had an early dinner and arrived at about 3:45 PM and frankly we're done about 4:20 PM. It was Father's Day so I understand Weil. It was busy, but that doesn't speak to the Food quality. I did have an orangecello old-fashioned, which was a nice twist on the old-fashioned, but just average in the scope of old-fashioned drinks Overall, it's my opinion that it is average at the very best and we are probably a one and done. One thing, however, is that the pricing was very reasonable and likely it is you pay for what you get.

    I stopped by Fat Olives because their pizza looked delicious and oh my goodness it was! I got the margarita pizza and it was just perfect! We started off with the wood fired stracciatella and wow this was amazing! Guy Fieri has been here and he liked this place too! The service was amazing and the ambiance was great! We were pretty happy with this place and would definitely return!

    margherita pizza

    one of flagstaff's best gems. The food exceeds my expectations for a small town like flag. we went during happy hour and they have great deals and you can beat the rush of people! The pizzas that really stood out to me were adovada 10/10 and ms piggy 9/10. I love that the pizzas have honey on them which balance the savory and spiciness of the pizzas. chicken parm was SO BOMB. It was creamy and flavorful, without being too overwhelming. Usually, it can be tiring to eat a full cream pasta, but this was well balanced and had me wanting more. Spaghetti and meatballs were disappointing. Bland and a little watery for my taste. Meatballs were dry. Would not recommend getting this as there are way better dishes. Tiramisu is light and fluffy. A must have dessert here.

    Pepperoni pizza w/ fennel sausage pieces
    Rick L.

    Came in for lunch...also this is famous for being on DDD with Guy Fieri. Decor - Very cool inside with seats at kitchen and a separate bar area. Food- Pepperoni Pizza with fennel sausage. $16 + $3 for the small amount of fennel sausage. It was great but not worth the xtra $3. - Pizza crust was amazing and the entire pizza was delicious. - Spaghetti & meatballs $14.50 with a small salad. Way too much sauce but the meatballs were good. Wouldn't get it again. - Overall good service and glad we finally made it here. I like how they have a section on the menu, "what Guy ate". They probably got tired of people asking. CON - The "Flagstaff Service Charge" of 4% is total bullsh*t!

    Sausage pizza

    We stopped by this pizza place after visiting the historic U.S. Route 66 for a quick bite, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Days later, we were still craving the pizza! We ordered pepperoni, meat lovers, and sausage pizzas, and all were equally delicious. The atmosphere was fun and lively, the service was friendly and attentive, and parking was easy with plenty of spaces both in front of the restaurant and in the adjacent lot. We would absolutely come back the next time we are in Flagstaff.

    We went to Fat Olives to celebrate our niece's graduation from Northern Arizona University, and with it being graduation weekend, having reservations turned out to be a great decision. There was a line out the door when we arrived, but since we had reservations, we were seated immediately. This place has been featured on the Food Network's "Top Places to Eat," so it's easy to understand why they're so popular. The tables are also somewhat small, so things can feel a bit cramped once the restaurant gets busy. The food was incredible and the drinks were equally impressive. They have a great selection of cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. The Basil Lemon Drop made with house-made limoncello was especially refreshing on a warm day. For our table of eight, we started with the bacon marmalade bruschetta, goat cheese bruschetta, and the wood-fired stracciatella with prosciutto. Everything was fantastic. The bruschetta boards each came with four pieces, and the stracciatella included four crostinis plus plenty of prosciutto to share. For entrees, we ordered several pizzas including the Ms. Piggy, Carnivore, and Belgio Dolce -- the same pizza Guy Fieri featured -- along with lasagna, pesto spaghetti, and rigatoni. Every dish was excellent, and the pizzas were large enough to easily feed two people. Even after all that food, we still made room for dessert and ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake, tiramisu, cannoli, and a couple espresso martinis. I only tried the cannoli because I was completely stuffed by then, but it absolutely delivered. The service was outstanding. Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of our large group and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I also loved the option on the menu where you can buy a 6-pack for the kitchen crew to show appreciation for their hard work. We figured one wasn't enough for the whole staff, so we bought five 6-packs instead. This would have easily been a 5-star experience if not for a couple issues. Originally, we made a reservation for 16 several weeks in advance. We received a confirmation the night before, but then got a cancellation notice just a few hours before the reservation. Our first phone call to the restaurant ended with us being disconnected, though thankfully the second call resolved everything. We later found out their reservation system automatically cancels large reservations unless they're booked as private dining. We also reduced our party size to 8, which helped. The other issue came at the end of the meal when the manager asked our table to leave. I understand we had been there for about two and a half hours and they likely wanted to turn the table, especially during a busy graduation weekend. Still, there were no time limits mentioned when we booked the reservation, so it left a sour note at the end of what had otherwise been an amazing dining experience. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this place if you're in Flagstaff and craving Italian food -- just don't expect to keep your table for the entire night.

    Update: We still love Fat Olives. Our bartender (Isla) last night was a real sweetheart and a darn good mixoligist too. We enjoyed cocktails, a couple Caesars, and a Ms Piggy pizza. Everything was great per usual. The space was lively and everyone was having a good time.

    Lunch pepperoni. Amazing

    Pizza is awesome . Came in right at 5pm on a Tuesday and got seared immediately. I highly recommend this place if you are passing through. Great for dinner or lunch

    Oh my goodness, this place! I found out about it from social media and the Food Network. We were looking forward to eating here our whole trip, and we are seriously sad we can't eat here more often due to distance! You're greeted with a signed Guy Fieri poster hanging in their entrance. We were seated promptly in a cozy booth. The kitchen is open and you can see them tossing the pizza dough up in the air occasionally. Such a cute little restaurant! Michael (Mike), was our server and he was so great. He said he's been working there for 11 years. I told him how I knew about the place and he said the episode on Food Network aired in 2017 and things have never been the same since! I can imagine! He really knew the menu well and took the time to tell us about the restaurant and their certifications. This place is a VPN Certified pizzeria by Verace Pizza Napoletana! I love that they also designate what Guy ate on their menu. I went with the Belgio Dolce Pizza, the 3rd place winner at the International Pizza Expo in 2014. The pizza is white sauce based, with house-made mozzarella, pecorino romano, oregano, shaved brussel sprouts, calabrian chili oil, Molinari soppressata, local honey and crushed pistachios. Mind blowingly amazing. My oldest got the chicken Parmesan on Mike's suggestion and my youngest got their version of a meat lovers pizza. They each got an Italian soda and I got a mocktail cherry smash--delicious! Mike suggested their tiramisu for dessert--stating it's a modest portion, good for sharing. I told him we aren't the biggest fans of tiramisu, but he assured us theirs was amazing--more custard and not very coffee-y. He said if we didn't like it, he'd buy it. Okay, sold! WOW! Best tiramisu EVER! We LOVED it! Everything was phenomenal! I'm so thankful we were able to try this place out! If I'm ever in Flagstaff again, I'm coming here again for sure, and will even ask for Mike! :)

    This is a clear local favorite. We visited on graduation day and it was packed. Indoor and outdoor seating options; large and small groups. Service was excellent, and the food too. Highly recommend.

    Sarah S.

    We found this Based on a local PBS show we saw on you tube and not Triple D. It has a rating from Naples that claims their pizzas are made authentic. I it is fun to see them toss the dough in front of you. Probably the best Margarita pizza I've ever had. We also had a burrata chile infused side dish. That was great. Service was wonderful I see why people come here. The happy hour was very generous with discount prices on drinks and some items. I'm giving it a 4 because I don't understand why they charged a 4% flagstaff service fee. We originally thought it was a city thing they couldn't help. We ate at two other places and were not charged this fee. And again I feel like restaurants should put this information on menu at the door on the table ahead of time if they are going to do it.

We lucked out with some gorgeous weather a few weeks back, so dining on the patio was very enjoyable, particularly with the cozy string lights on overhead. It was super packed, but some of the couples ahead of us rejected the tiny bar counter and stools at the end of the smaller patio; since those seats didn't bother us we were seated immediately! I don't remember the name of our waitress, but she was very friendly. She immediately brought us a water carafe and two glasses. She was back in under 5 minutes to take our order and our food came out super fast. We began with the Mixed Greens Salad with Chevre & Pine Nuts. The portion was generous and the salad was absolutely delicious. They let the flavor of the chevre & pine nuts really shine through by adding a very light olive oil based dressing. We then shared our favorite pizza, the Diavola, which was delicious as always. Their pizza crust is some of the best in the western U.S. I love the convenience of enjoying Pizzicletta at Dark Sky, but I think we'll be coming to this location from now on. We loved the ambiance and slightly expanded menu offered here. Plus, grabbing drinks two doors down at Mother Road before/after is an added bonus!

We arrived just before they closed between lunch and dinner, made a reservation for later, and I'm so glad we came back. If the weather is nice, do yourself a favor and request the backyard patio--it's the perfect setting for an unforgettable meal. The handmade pasta absolutely lives up to the hype, but what really surprised me was the service. I wish I could remember our server's name (which is so unlike me--I'm still embarrassed!). She was knowledgeable, attentive, genuinely friendly, and provided the kind of service you'd expect at a fine dining restaurant. We ended up giving her our unused observatory tickets, so hopefully management knows exactly who I'm talking about. If so, she deserves some recognition--she's an outstanding employee. Now, the food... My son ordered the Chicken Alfredo and declared it the best Chicken Alfredo he's ever had. My other son chose the Steak Alfredo and hasn't stopped talking about it since. They both keep asking when we're going back, which tells you everything you need to know. The Italian sodas were also a huge hit with the kids, so don't skip those! I ordered the Calabrian Chile & Burrata Pasta with Peas. Our server warned me that it was spicy. Like most people who love spicy food, I smiled and thought, "I'll be fine." Reader...she was right. It definitely has some heat! Thankfully, the creamy burrata perfectly balances the spice, and I absolutely loved the addition of the peas. It was bold, flavorful, and one of those dishes I'll be thinking about for a long time. Trust your server on the spice level--they know what they're talking about. This is one of those restaurants you'll remember long after your vacation is over. Incredible handmade pasta, outstanding service, a beautiful patio, and an experience that feels genuinely authentic. We can't wait to return.

The toilet was covered in human excrement, and a trash can was overflowing with empty tampon applicators. Sickened, I immediately informed our server. He apologized, but in a strangely unsurprised, apathetic manner--as if this was a regular occurrence. We told him we were leaving immediately, but he still made sure to charge us full price for the subpar salad before we walked out the door. Terrible food, nonexistent hygiene, and poor management.

I ordered the Vendetta Ride, and it was easily one of my favorite drinks of the night: light, slightly sweet, and finished with just the right kick. I absolutely loved it. The menu features creative contemporary American cuisine with an emphasis on sharing plates, which made the experience even more fun. We ordered two appetizers, two mains, and a dessert, and overall everything was excellent. My only critique would be the Duck Taquitos. The duck flavor was not there, and the mesquite mole sauce leaned too sweet for my taste. Aside from that, every dish impressed us. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and a great dining experience. I would highly recommend this spot if you're in Flagstaff!

    Oh my gosh. If you are curious where to eat when you visit and you enjoy good culinary experiences,…read moreplease do us all a favor and enjoy this spot. The food was excellent. I don't know if chef changes the menus often BUT we had the fattoush salad, the bread board, cabbage, fideo with the venison sausage, and the chicken thighs and for dessert, we had the parsley and the apricot gelato. Yes, it sounds strange, parsley gelato but holy moly, it is probably one of the best desserts I've ever had. It is savory and sweet, so if you like really sweet desserts, it might not be your favorite but it is definitely unique and delicious. Everything was incredible. My only critique is that everything is a shareable and there's no way to serve each item, which is easily fixed with a serving spoon so, not really a critique. 11/10 food Service was great. Attentive without smothering me. Ambiance was good too. Not too crowded. Noise level was good. Go. You will not regret it.

    A Masterclass in Modern American Fine Dining…read more My recent dinner at Atria in downtown Flagstaff was, quite simply, an exceptional experience from start to finish. Chef Rochelle Daniel has created a space that perfectly balances upscale elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a true standout in the region. We started the evening with their incredible oyster selection. The oysters with the cucumber granita were a masterclass in refreshing, clean flavors--a perfect, bright start to the meal. We also indulged in the oysters with caviar beurre blanc, which provided a stunning, decadent contrast; the richness of the beurre blanc paired with the briny pop of caviar was unforgettable. Another standout from the starters was the foie gras cornets--delicate, playful, and incredibly rich, they were a brilliant opening note for the palate. The beet salad was another highlight. Far from a simple starter, the charcoal-roasted preparation brought out a beautiful depth and earthiness, elevated by the perfect balance of creamy textures and crunchy toppings. For the main, the duck entrée was flawless. The skin was perfectly rendered, and the meat was incredibly tender, showcasing the kitchen's technical prowess. To complement the meal, we enjoyed a bottle of Michael David Inkblot Cabernet Franc. It was a fantastic choice--bold and velvety with those classic notes of dark fruit and a hint of spice that held up beautifully against the richness of the duck and the earthiness of the beets. What truly elevated the presentation was the stunning pottery. Every dish was served on beautiful, locally crafted ceramic pieces that added a tactile, artisanal feel to the table. It's a thoughtful detail that grounds the high-end cuisine in the spirit of Northern Arizona. We finished the evening on a high note with a round of perfectly pulled espressos and the coconut macaroons. The macaroons were the ideal final bite--crispy on the outside, wonderfully chewy on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness to round out the experience. From the thoughtful presentation of every plate to the impeccable, knowledgeable service, everything about the evening felt intentional and memorable. Atria is not just a meal; it is a culinary experience that showcases the very best of Northern Arizona's ingredients. It is a must-visit.

    We asked for their best and most popular drink. They gave us an orange monstrosity that was…read moreridiculously difficult to drink. An abomination of a sidecar, not quite straight orange liqueur. Could barely finish my 20+$ drink. Bread was VERY crusty. Not fluffy, and coated in oil. Other than that the food was good. We picked this place because it was supposed to be the best in Flagstaff. We enjoyed it, service was good, the place itself is amazing. The bathroom smell was delicious but too potent. I loved being able to see the exposed kitchen area in the back!

    That sweet orange...cake and caramel on the inside. Such a beautiful dessert, though a little orangey for me.
