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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Fabulous pizza!!!! Loved it, one of the best!!! Great staff and service! Delicious go for happy hour!!!

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. read more

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. read more

Too much hype. Our pizza was soggy on top and burnt on the bottom. All i tasted was burnt crust. Rigatoni sauce also needs more taste. The creme brulee cheesecake was really good and the italian soda vanilla mixed with raspberry. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is packed and seems like a local favorite. I was drawn here by a tiktok and decided to try the pistachio pizza. It was different. The service was good. The atmosphere was busy and a bit chaotic. I would recommend this place and may go back to try something else. read more

any Italian food establishment that has grape vines around the entrance is a must try... this places lives up to it's local reputation as the best in flagstaff. This will be a pizza review only, but both the Margherita and pepperoni are mandatory orders when visiting. To sip, we got the house sangria which only enhanced the pizza bites. This place is very busy during peak hours, you just gotta get on the list and wait it out .. it will be worth it. read more

Ate there early yesterday around 3pm. It was crowded. 2 others at my table had pizza that looked great. Mine was burnt. Won't go back. Should have asked for a "rebake" or a refund. I understand that "wood fired" pizza has some black blisters, but this isn't acceptable. read more

Two years after being a little let down by my first visit, I decided I was ready to give Fat Olives another try. They scored big for Most Improved! My server was so nice and accommodating, food came out really quick after ordering, and the pizza was piping hot! I am so glad I asked about half and half pizzas, which are allowed to the extent the base is the same. I ordered half Di Fungi half Shrimp Fra Diavolo but with tomato base instead of pesto. I can't decide which I liked better, they were both fabulous. The Di Fungi, I almost ordered without onion, but SO glad I kept the onions on - they were wonderfully roasted and sweet. The Fra Diavolo was so unique - shrimp on pizza?! To err on the side of caution I got it without Calabrian chiles and with some chili oil on the side. The shrimp were a little sparse - one slice did not have any :( I'm still not a fan of the two high top tables in the center of the bar side of the restaurant and was glad to be seated along the wall this time. It made me not even mind the high top. The two in the center are just too close to each other for comfort. Pretty price at $50 after tip for one pizza, a non-alcoholic beer, and a market salad which was only greens that were pretty stemmy, + dressing. All in all I'll now consider this as an option on my future visits to Flag, based on the quality of the pizza and service. read more

After moving in the girls @nauflagstaff this weekend, we wanted to have a special final lunch together. We decided on Fat Olives @fat_olives near downtown Flagstaff and campus on route 66. Luckily there was no wait for a Sunday lunch. Usually this place is packed. There is parking in front of the restaurant and also in a large side lot. Pizza is the specialty at this restaurant and it is a VPN Certified pizzeria by Verace Pizza Napoletana. They adhere to strict age old principles in the art of making true Neapolitan Pizza. They only use soft grain "00" flour, fresh yeast, water and sea salt for the dough and only imported San Marzano Plum Tomatoes, mozzarella de bufala, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil. All of this is helpfully explained on the menu and by our wonderful server!! Everything we ordered was fantastic! We ordered: - Cherry Smash Mocktail - Amarena cherries, fresh lemon, basil, soda, served over ice - YUMMM - Wood Fired Stracciatella Antipasto - Housemade mozzarella, sweet cream, ricotta, sea salt. Served with house crostini, EVOO, honey balsamic reduction, cracked pepper, Prosciutto di Parma - Burrata Antipasto - Fresh mozzarella with a creamy center drizzled with a honey balsamic reduction, Prosciutto di Parma, basil chiffonade, house crostini, calabrian chili oil - Kenai Pizza - White base, ricotta, house-made mozzarella, pecorino romano, house-smoked salmon, dill cream, sea salt, EVOO, red onions (What @guyfieri ate!!) *Add Arugula (like a creamy lox bagel pizza) - Margherita D.O.C. - San Marzano tomato D.O.P, fior di latte mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, fresh basil, EVOO (nice basil flavor!) - Carnivore -San Marzano tomato D.O.P., mozz provolone blend, hand cut pepperoni, fennel sausage, smoked bacon, crumbled meatballs (Simply Delicious - Yes, tried every pizza!!) - Fat Olives Signature Lasagna - Ten hour ragu, ricotta, mozz provolone blend, Grana Padano, basil chiffonade Hubs mentioned in the evening that he could really tell this restaurant used the finest ingredients because he had no heartburn or digestion pain after eating here. I noticed that I felt great as well, unlike how I usually feel after eating pizza. Seating is available at the bar, table seating in two rooms, and additional bar seating at the wood fire oven to watch the dough for pies being tossed. read more

Finally got to do some work in flagstaff again. Always wanted to try this place and I'm so glad I did! It was poppin! I ordered the chicken Parmesan and a Pepsi and water (Pepsi products). The food came out pretty quick, and it was really busy, so that was a shocker. The chicken parm was really good, it came out in a skillet. Everything in this dish was delicious! I ordered the tiramisu after. My waitress said it's a very popular dish. I was a little thrown off when it came out, it looked like pudding, BUT it tasted exactly like tiramisu! It was really really good! The waitress and waiters here always make sure everyone is taken care of and topped off. Even the hostess checks up on tables. Really great teamwork across the staff! It was nice to come here, I'll definitely be back! read more

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 read more

We took a mini one day trip up to Flagstaff from the Phx area and opted to eat here because there are so many rave reviews and because this place was featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Because many reviews say they can get busy and have long wait times we decided to eat an earlier dinner and went just before 5. We still ended up waiting for about 15 minutes for a table which isn't a big deal but as we sat outside waiting to be called to a table we saw so many people arriving, so its true that this place fills up and long wait times can be expected. We did order some of our food based on many reviews given on those items. To begin we ordered the wood fired stracciatella. It's a mix of cheeses served hot with crostini, evoo, honey balsamic reduction. The evoo and honey balsamic reduction are just a design on the plate and it's not much so keep that in mind if you were hoping for different flavor components for this dish. The cheese itself is very one note as far as flavor. I was comparing it to other hot cheese dips I have had at other restaurants and I was missing garlic and herb flavors to be honest. There was cracked black pepper sprinkling the top however. Some people reviewed this like it was the best thing they have ever eaten or they wanted to bathe in it, LOL. After trying it myself I wonder if these people who reviewed it that way have eaten out much because it definitely wasn't that good to be the best thing I have ever eaten or that I'd want to bathe in it LOL. I'd give it 2.5 stars out of 5. It was good and we all agreed on that but would we order it again, probably not. Dinner was Bolognese spaghetti (this was not ordered based on reviews, just what my son thought sounded good). The Miss piggy pizza and a side caesar salad for my daughter and I. The bolognese was good. Nothing that would knock your socks off or anything like that. For the cost I felt like the amount of protein was lacking. The portion was generous but again, the amount of meat in the bolognese sauce was lacking. The caesar salad was okay. We eat caesar everywhere we dine and this one didn't fall in our top 5. Instead of croutons, it was breadcrumbs instead which was different but I did miss flavorful croutons like most caesars have. The Miss piggy came highly recommended on many reviews and most people raved about it. It was creamy pesto, mozzarella and provolone blend, smoked bacon, mortadella, roasted onions and basil. It was really delicious! You can go wrong with those flavors. The crust on this pizza was chewy and light. The pizza could feed 2-3 people easily. We would order it again. My kids wanted tiramisu and a cannoli, which we had boxed to take to our hotel. Both were good. My son makes tiramisu at home and we all agreed his was better (I am not saying that because I am his mom either). I could have skipped dessert altogether but my kids have a major sweet tooth so dessert is a must for them. Some things to note, the speed of getting food and service was prompt. Everything came out fast! The server was on top of things as well. We were pleased by that. I did notice that they do need to pay better attention to cleanliness, however. One of the appetizer plates they gave us was dirty. Two of our three menus had hair (yuck!) in between the menu and the sleeve covering it and the drink menu had dried red sauce on it. That is never acceptable especially for the cost of eating here. I get this place is busy but all restaurants have slow times and that is when cleaning and spot checking should occur. When I worked in restaurants, menus were cleaned numerous times per shift by the hostess or front-end manager. The hairs inside the sleeve should be addressed right away. If the customer can see it then the employees can see it and should take care of it immediately. They do add a 4% charge to your bill, so be warned. We don't make it up to Flagstaff often so I don't think I would eat here the next time we come just because there are other places we want to try as well. This place is good and worth trying but its pricy and the food is just good not amazing in my opinion. read more

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. read more

We frequent flagstaff and this time we hit the jackpot with fire ovennpizza. Fat Olives did have a long wait but goven it was Saturday worth the wait.. The Adovada was not available, however, the famous "Belgio Dolce Pizza" was no let down. With a zing the spicy dipped artichokes gave it a quick kick that did not last nor spoil the flavor. The cheese was perfectly melted with the taste of lingering clay from their fire oven. Crust was perfectly complimented with crushed pistachios. The kids split a regular order of rigatoni plate which even had enough left overs for next day. The lady of the night had "Fetuccini Alfredo" topped woth savory grilled mushrooms bathed in olive oil. The prices were reasonable and the service was fast which made up for the wait line. All around highly recommend a must do when in Flagstaff. Best part kid friendly, waitress brought over crayons and pizza dough to entertain the kids. Huge plus! also with the ambiance of family style environment all were unaware of our loud kids due to evryone having a great time with delicious food. read more

The food was definitely tasty here. We enjoyed the burrata appetizer, and our pizza was good. I'd prefer a touch more salt and a crispier crust, but overall good. I was actual pretty impressed by both the price and strength of the $5.5 happy hour margarita. I did notice that our drinks menu was out of date. The seasonal drink was a winter cocktail, and it's summer. The happy hour prices were more expensive on the main menu than the drinks menu. We didn't see a server for 10 minutes after being sat, and they seemed pretty busy overall. I really disliked that they have a "Flagstaff service charge" to cover their servers' liveable wages. The point of Flagstaff making restaurants pay employees minimum wage was to have them actually cover the cost of service instead of customers. Instead, they just passed the cost along to us in a "service fee." Seems scummy to me. Just pay your own employees. They said it's so they "didn't have to raise their prices," but because I was given the old menu, I can see they DID raise the prices. Overall, though, the food was good and the restaurant was cute. Im not convinced it was worth the wait, though. read more

My girlfriend found this place while we were on a road trip, and wow the pizza here is fantastic. We decided to try the Kenai Pizza because neither of us had ever had salmon on a pizza before. To our surprise, it was actually very good. The blend of ricotta, romano, and mozzarella cheeses complimented the salmon perfectly. The Italian sodas are also very good. I tried the pomegranate one. It was good but did have a little too much cream for my liking though. The staff was terrific with good service and the inside was nicely decorated and felt very Tuscan. I recommend stopping here if you're looking for a great pizza spot in Flagstaff, AZ. read more

Got the vegan cheese! The pizza was amazing and the service was above and beyond! Make sure to get your reservation early! It took 1hr and 30mins but it was so worth it.

We ordered the Wood Fired Stracciatella and honestly I want to take a bath in that and die from dairy intolerance. It was seriously one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. SO GOOD.
