Decided on pizza last night and immediately thought about Fat Mikes because I recently got a meatball sub and it was unreal delicious so I ordered a large combo. The young lady who answered the phone was very helpful and was a joy to order from. I got there 20 minutes later just as my pizza was coming out of the oven. Place it very nice and clean! I cant say that about other Elk Grove pizzeria. Got home and the wife and I enjoyed that pizza so much we will probably make it a regular thing. So many more specialty pizzas to try as well as their sandwiches. Thanks to everyone at Fat Mikes Pizza! read more

Fat Mike's continues to be excellent! They've been in business 34 years - pretty amazing. We had gluten free crust medium, all the veggies, red sauce, no cheese. It is delicious! I like the thin crunchy crust. Very tasty overall. The people are super too. Highly recommended! read more

Fat Mike's Pizza - Gluten free, veggie, no cheese. - Pizza Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This place is a gem!!! We were greeted right away & service was excellent. It was our 1st time here & I loved the atmosphere!!! Clean & minimal. Has an old time feel, but sparkly @ the same time. The menu has other things than pizza, but we were here 2 try the pizza. They have a list of different pizzas & we decided on the Italian Pesto. It was pesto sauce w/ pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, & olives (it was supposed 2 have green onions, but I don't do onions)=delish!!! The pizza was cooked perfectly w/ the crust having just enough crunch. And can u say cheesy as heck?!!! Loved that we got 2 enjoy it fresh out of the oven!!! I would definitely, most definitely will b back 2 try another pie!!!! read more

Great spot that I found on yelp and noticed that a lot of elite members favored this pizzeria. All the ingredients tasted fresh and the specialty pizzas had amazing flavors. I ordered got to us in reasonable time considering it was entering dinner time. The environment totally feels like a pizza restaurant with arcades, TVs with sporting events and memorabilia all over the restaurant. I will definitely recommend this place. We ordered the cowboy and chocolate cannoli for dessert. read more

My husband and I drove by this place multiple times and we finally decided to stop and try it. It's super cute. Located right next to a diner. Upon entering the parking lot Fat Mike's definitely gives off a diner vibe also which I thought was sooo cool. They have 2 dinning room and an arcade room. The first is the entrance which has a diner feel to it. The next room was more restaurant/family style seating room. The third room was the arcade room. We got there during lunch time so we decided to get their lunch specials. My husband got a personal pizza and I got a salad and some wings for myself. The pizza was very good. Crust was not too soft and not too hard. Salad and wings were okay. Will be back to try more of their pizzas. read more

This is one of the best local places to get a pizza. I have been coming here a few times a year for more than 18 years and I have loved every single pizza. The food is always hit and fresh and the owners have a passion for what they do. I have had their other offerings and enjoy their breadsticks as well. If you want a local spot that has a small town feel , come give them a shot. read more

I've been coming here for almost 20 years. Great pizza, salad, wings and ambiance. Love this place

I highly recommend this pizza spot. We ordered this deal that the staff offered to us. The service was very friendly and helpful. It made our visit much more enjoyable. We ordered the dinner salad. It was really good and refreshing. We ordered the garlic sticks with cheese. They were nice and hot. The cheese was very gooey and warm. It came with a side of ranch sauce and marinara sauce. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza. It was really good and loaded with pepperoni. And lastly we ordered half combination and meat. It was very delicious and completely satisfied my pizza craving. It was more than enough for our party. This is a perfect place for pizza LOVERS! read more

My favorite pizza spot in Elk Grove but they've got great lasagna, salads and decent wings as well. Can't go wrong with delivery and honestly it's worth driving out to eat in as well. Great staff, an arcade with air hockey and the place is generally packed. One of those rare local non chain restaurants left kicking out great food and genuinely good service. read more

Fat Mikes Pizza is an amazing part of the Elk Grove community celebrating their anniversary today. They opened 8/7/92!

Happy Anniversary! We love you! read more

This pizza place is one of our favorites recently. Either sit down to enjoy dining or take out to go are lovely and taste good. We like to order half and half pizza and most of the favor are good. If they can do a little bit better in the pasta taste, this store will be perfect. Still recommend to go. read more

I found Fat Mike"s on a Reddit post about the best pizza's in Elk Grove. As it turned out Fat Mikes's was like number 2 or 3 on most of the lists and it was the closest to me so I thought I'd try it. While I am not a pizza -phile by any stretch of the imagination, my significant other was off on a girls weekend so here goes nothing. It was a bit farther than I thought, so when I got there I ordered a pizza the size of a wagon wheel for yours truly. (I got the 16' Garlic chicken) There was a bit of a wait but I finally got my prize and tucked my giant pizza in the car and drove back to the scene of the crime. In rapt anticipation I grabbed 2 slices and gobbled them down. Dear reader I apologize for all the preface, but the final conclusion is that it was just ok. It wasn't bad just not a world class pizza that had been described in Reddit. P.S. my significant other came back had the day old pizza and said the same thing. I still have 6 pieces wrapped in foil for any takers. read more

Anytime I ask the family, Fat Mikes? It's a YES! This is a true pizza joint, video games, sports, tv, large accommodations, and high quality pizza! The customer service is A+, the manager always makes you feel like you're part of the family. Today we took home a large pepperoni/olive pizza and bread sticks. They are not shy with the toppings. Keep up the good work Fat Mikes! read more

It's so nice to have a neighborhood pizza place like Fat Mike's. Consistently good food, prices haven't skyrocketed like other places, and the people are always so friendly. The calzones are a great pizza twist and the baked pastas are yummy. Keep it up. read more

Fat Mike's Pizza is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're hit with the nostalgic vibe of the arcade area mixed with the mouthwatering smell of fresh pizza. It's the perfect combo of fun and flavor. service was top-tier too. Super friendly staff, quick turnaround, and they genuinely made us feel welcome. It's the kind of spot where you can bring the whole family, hang out with friends, or just come solo for some pizza and some arcade time. Oh yeah did I mention they HAVE BEER read more

Lexi and Chloe were awesome! They should get a raise. Great service and very friendly!

Came into this gem of a place for the first time today and loved the experience!! We met the owner Mike who was both kind and hilarious! Super hospitable. The place was so clean and everyone there seemed happy. The workers never stopped moving all with smiles on their faces. My husband (with the huge beard) ordered a meat lovers pizza and loved it! This was a great first time experience and we can't wait to come back! read more

Went there with a party after a funeral for a celebration of life for a dear close family friend. She loved this place and have supported this small family business and have spent $$$$ here for many many years. Hince why she would choose Fat Mike's to have her last farewell and to support the business one last time. It was disappointing to see they seemed unprepared for us guests when the organizers had called a week in advance for better planning. She held you guys to certain standards and it felt like the service you provided did not meet that. R.I.P read more

While the west side of Elk Grove grows more and more chaotic by the day, the east side remains pretty quiet. In this particular part of the city there lies a pizza spot with a blast-from-the-past, diner-esque interior. The Maui wowie pizza pretty much tasted slightly above average; a little tastier than pizza from a pizza chain though could've had a larger portion of toppings. The garlic sticks though.....highly recommend! Very soft and quite flavorful with the garlic seasoning. Easy to down a few of them fast without thinking. Friendly staff here. Overall recommend for a chill, low-key family pizza feast or to just order pizza (+ garlic sticks!) to-go away from the hustle-and-bustle part of EG. read more

This is definitely our favorite pizza spot in Elk Grove! We have dined in, ordered takeout, and had the pizza delivered before. In all instances, the service was excellent. When we've dined in or picked up the pizza, the employees were always so friendly and personable. It definitely feels like a local family business in a good way. There is plenty of seating for dining in, and they have arcade games inside too. Whenever we got an estimated wait time for delivery, the pizza was always delivered on time or sooner. I've had the Mike's Top 10 Combination, Barbecue Chicken, Pesto Italian, and pepperoni pizza here. All of them were good, but Mike's Top 10 was definitely my favorite and our go-to flavor of pizza to order. I've also had the garlic breadsticks and garlic breadsticks with cheese (highly recommend). Fat Mike's pizza is a little more expensive than others, but it's totally worth it in my opinion! The quality is there. They have coupons on their website, so check those out too! You can show the employee the coupon by using your smartphone and they'll honor it. read more

My family decided to try out Fat Mikes. As it's been around for a very long time. We ordered two pizzas, a big salad, and we dined in. The pizzas didn't have enough sauce and the sauce they did had was bland. Very disappointing. It was not delicious pizza whatsoever. The antipasti salad was good with lots of toppings. I was disappointed to find out, after we paid, that they were running a special for a family pizza and family salad that, if they had told us, would have saved us money, as we ordered the sane things in the special but we paid full price. There is an arcade area in the back but not many games, mostly grab machines. The ambience was great, though, with sports themed memorabilia. read more

My husband and I love this pizza! It's packed with toppings and has a thick crust. My only wish is that they delivered--we're about 15 minutes away in Rancho--but we still come here often because it's worth the drive. read more

We were looking for a new pizza place tonight. Came across Fat Mike's here on Yelp, the pictures all looked delicious, and we decided to give it a try. We ordered a sausage mushroom olive and a pepperoni sausage. We also got pesto chips. The ingredients on the pizzas all tasted very fresh, and there was a ton of toppings on both. Not too much, just the right amount. The sausage was excellent with no grease. The only problem, and the reason for only four stars, is they were both very salty. I thought at first that it was just the sausage, but it was the crust or the pizza sauce on the crust. It would've been the perfect pizza without that. The pesto chips are basically a pizza crust with only pesto on top and cut into strips. This was very good. We'd definitely go back. Fat Mikes got very good reviews, so maybe it's not usually this salty. I'll definitely update to 5-stars if that's the case. read more

Amazing pizza, and the staff provided great customer service. It's pretty far down a busy road so we dined in. Lots of families seem to love this place. There's a mini arcade in the back of the restaurant. Small front lobby area to order your pizza but there are tables in the back and on the outside of the business. The dining area has old history on the walls, I love that about it. Whenever I'm looking forward to another drive I'll for sure make my way down here. read more

I'm not sure if this pizza spot has changed their hours, or if I have been by on an off day, but since we moved to Elk Grove 11 years ago I have tried several times to check them out only to find them closed. Well, I guess the stars aligned properly for me because my wife and I saw that they were open and decided to have lunch and check out their pie. The atmosphere is somewhat of a 50's vibe and at first it doesn't look that big from the outside. We went in and were greeted by Kiley (?) who offered us some suggestions of what to order, which was helpful since the menu is extensive. It was no easy decision, and our choice of the Garlic Chicken was definitely a winner As we were filling our glasses from the drink fountain, we had an opportunity to speak to (not so) Fat Mike - but hey, who's going to buy Skinny Mike's pizza, right?!!? Even though Mike was working on repairs to one of his ovens, he took a few minutes to welcome us in and was warm and engaging. Back to the pizza - it was topped with fresh ingredients, nice sized chunks of chicken, and had a well done buttery crust which held up to the toppings. I won't get into the details, however, we got a glimpse of Mike's involvement and love of his community which makes us want to come back for more!!! The only drawback for us is the location in proximity to our home, otherwise this would probably be a 5-star review... who knows ? A few more visits my just change my mind!!! read more

The first time I went to Fat Mike's Pizza it was the most amazing Pizza bar none. I drove 35 minutes today to pick up my pizza's. I was super excited...until I had my first bite ... the crust was hard, like cardboard...what happened that you changed the crust recipe? I'm so disappointed and a 35 minute drive is not worth a bad pizza... read more

We initially called in a delivery order but unfortunately we called a but late and they stop delivering at 8:30pm. We didn't live too far from the restaurant so we were happy to place a pick up order instead which was quick and ready in 25 minutes. We ordered a 20" half vegetarian and half pesto garden style. Both were good and incredibly cheesy but we wished the pizza was more flavorful. Loved how much toppings there were but the artichokes were bit tough. 20" is pretty large and can probably feed 6-8 people! So glad to see various vegetarian specialty options on their menu! read more

Good pizza, nice drink selections, and nice staff! I wish the arcades were open and working.

One of the first places we tried when moving here. We were tired and hungry. This place reminded me of the old days where everyone knew each other at the local Pizza place. We were the outsiders but they were nice and interested in asking where we were from. Lots of families having dinner and they even have a little old school arcade in the back. Close to me and very convenient. It hit the spot. On the heavier side vs light and crisp. Filled us up quick. We have only done to go. I need to go back and try more things. Parking was easy in a small little lot of shops. :) read more

I met the owner on my first ever visit, and was very impressed with the entire staff at Fat Mike's. Everyone was extremely friendly, and there was definitely a welcoming vibe. My take out order came out promptly, and was on my way. The pizza was some of the best that I've had in California. Good crust, and cheese to sauce ratio was very consistent. While it was the best I've had out here, it still does not quite have the taste of East Coast Pizza. New York, Jersey, and Philadelphia still have the edge for sure. This place is pretty dang good though and worth checking out. Good Job Fat Mike's! read more
