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

Fat Mike's Pizza - Yummy - Pizza Near Me - Elk Grove, California

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 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

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

Great local place to eat. They have a variety of different foods. We like to order pizza from here and we finally tried their lasagna which was very good. Their lasagna is enough to share with 2 people. There's plenty of parking and seating inside. read more

Fat Mike's Pizza - Mikes Top Ten Combination - Pizza Near Me - Elk Grove, California

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

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

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

Fat Mikes has been efficiently serving the neighborhood for years. Super consistent, wonderful food. Highly recommended.

This place offers delicious pizza at a really good price, and I find myself coming back here quite often, especially with my big family of six! I genuinely recommend it. The service is wonderful, and the staff always make you feel welcome with their friendly customer service. 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

Fat Mike's Pizza - Maui wowie & garlic sticks - Pizza Near Me - Elk Grove, California

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

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

Still the Best Place for Pizza in Elk Grove. The Place is Clean and all of the Food is the Well Prepared. Larry and Brian have really done a Great Job in providing and Excellent Pizza Restaurant. ( Too Bad they are Boston Red Sox Fans) read more

Absolutely THE BEST!!! The pizzas are delicious--always fresh and loaded with toppings. The location is clean, and the customer service is consistently 5+ stars! Nothing beats supporting a locally owned business with old-school values in today's world. Without a doubt, the #1 pizza spot in Elk Grove! 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

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

DELICIOUS!! Pizza was really good, one of the best around! I drove all the way from Natomas after seeing someone's tiktok! The garlic cheese bread was 10/10 Pizza-10/10 Salad- 5/10 I didn't care for the salad too much. I Prefer iceberg lettuce! Also, I wasn't a fan of the ranch! Round tables ranch with fat mikes pizza 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

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

We like Fat Mike's pizzas. They aren't our number one go-to for pizza near us but they are always hot and delicious.

Tried Fat Mike's Pizza and had a great experience! I called in my order, and the service was friendly and efficient. The Garlic Lovers Supreme was delicious--loaded with toppings and full of flavor. I also ordered the garlic sticks w/ cheese, which were good but could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall, great food and great service--I'll definitely be back! read more

Everything about this place is an A+++++. The service was phenomenal for both in person and ordering for pick up. The food is Amazing. You get more than enough food for the amount you paid. Prices are very fair for what you get. This is our new go to pizza place so good it's worth the 40min drive one way to get the best pizza in the area. This place is a must try. Good for all occasions. read more

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

It was okay. Not enough pepperoni. Calzone had too much cheese. Crust was not quite cooked all the way.

Amazing pizza and a great atmosphere! Highly recommend you come to this place! First time here and I will definitely be back

The food and service were great! We enjoyed the lasagna & friendly staff the most. Will try pizza next time!

Amazing customer service from Larry! The pizza had lots of toppings and cheese, just the way we like it! You get greeted very nicely when you walk in the door and it feels welcoming and warm (probably due to the ovens, but whatever).:) Anyways, great environment and pizza!! I recommend this place for a crap load of pizza and generous size slices. read more

Mike and his entire team are very friendly. The restaurant is clean and we enjoyed the retro vibe and decor. We ordered a garlic chicken pizza which was delicious. So much so that I ate more than I should have. The team was attentive but not intrusive which I appreciated. Mike was easy to talk to and seems to enjoy what he is doing. He was nurturing to his team members not abrupt or aggressive. We witnessed Mike give heartfelt advice to a young lady that came in looking for a job. All in all, a good man running a good business with delicious pizza. 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

The pizza is delicious. The staff is really friendly. And everyone knows everyone The area is called rural Elk Grove and I love it read more

Love Fat Mike's, they never disappoint, always delicious. So, a few months ago we had ordered a half combo/ half Maui Wowie for pick up, when we got home we noticed the pineapples were missing. We called and the owner was apologetic and willing to remedy the issue, unfortunately it would have been a 20 min drive back, so we said it was fine and just wanted to let them know. But, the owner insisted on getting my name and number, so that next time he would make it right. Well when I went to pickup the pizza tonight the owner was assisting me and I ask him if he could make sure all the ingredients, especially the pineapples were there. I explained what had happened before and to my surprise he remembered and retrieved a note by the cash register with my name and number. He then proceeded to discount my order, I really appreciate that after 2 months he remembered and was still willing to honor the remedy to our issue. Not many places will do that for you. Fat Mike's will be my go to pizza place because the food is great and the business is very honest and willing to make accommodate their customers. read more

Great pizza, but service needs improvement I was introduced to this fantastic spot by a close friend, and my first visit did not disappoint. Unfortunately, my most recent experience fell short. I ordered a chicken garlic pizza with no olives or tomatoes, repeated the request twice and the cashier even repeated it back to me. When my pizza arrived, it was loaded with olives & tomatoes. I explained the mistake right away and was told it would take another 30 minutes to make a new one as they got busy. I asked for a refund instead, but was told that wasn't possible. I left the pizza behind and left feeling disappointed. I'm still very much an advocate for this Great place. Unfortunately I won't be returning. I could get that service at any fast food pizza chain. read more

Good local pizza. One of the better pizza spots in Elk Grove. I usually ask for my pizza well done.

Always so friendly and provide such good service! They're generous with the toppings and their wings are yummy. Their crust has the nice crispy edge that I love. Need to try their lasagna next. read more
