I recently discovered this establishment and was thoroughly impressed. Following the recommendation of fellow yelpers, I decided to dine here and was delighted with my experience. Although we were initially invited to sit on the patio, the chilly weather prompted the hostess to direct us to an available high table in the bar area, which was a suitable alternative. Up to that point, my expectations were not particularly high. However, our server, Henry, provided exceptional service, demonstrating friendliness, patience, and attentiveness despite the very crowded bar. The food exceeded my expectations, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The goat cheese bruschetta was the highlight of my meal.The happy hour menu offerings were not only delicious but also accompanied by excellent drinks. I am already looking forward to my next visit. read more

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. read more

The pizza was good. We had the spicy Calabrian dolce pizza. Service was slow. Especially when we sat down. We understand it's a Friday at 530pm but 15 minutes of waiting for someone to greet us while sitting in front of the service line at pizza oven bar seating is crazy. The fat olives salad was underwhelming. Poorly dressed as in underdressed. Served on a plate so the little amount of nuts and cranberries were hard to find and eat. Don't get the Caprese salad. Especially if you love these. Where is the basil? It was barely visible the few shreds on the salad. The tomato was so thin and flavorless. The cheese had no taste. Skip it. read more

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! read more

Fat Olives - Lunch pepperoni. Amazing - Pizza Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

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! :) read more

A solid, satisfying pizza. Above average, but not really anything particularly exciting. The toppings were well distributed but lacked seasoning and the cheese was sparse. Admittedly I'm an absolute fiend for cheese so that may be personal preference! read more

Fat Olives - Farmer's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

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. read more

I was here a few days ago and had incredible service and amazing food! Our server Henry really was the nicest sweetest guy ever, he was very friendly as a server should be.

Super unique pizza and incredible service made for such a perfect date night, I will be coming back when i'm in flagstaff! read more

For the price and hype it isn't worth it. The food is ok but if you're going because Guy Fieri went there it isn't enough for us to go back again. Went once, thought the food was ok but they were busy so we gave it another try and the food was bland. Had smoked salmon appetizer, dry and the salmon didn't really taste smoked not even fresh. Pizza was ok however the fettuccine was very light but again not much flavor. The place can become very crowded and very noisy. Looked like everyone had fun read more

I enjoyed everything about Fat Olives! We were seated at the bar and I'm so glad we were. The bartender was amazing. You can tell she truly loves her job. She made great drinks (I tried the mule with house made limoncello and strawberry) and provided excellent service. We tried the Cesar salad, lasagna and pepperoni pizza. Everything was fresh and the pizza was wood fired to perfection. read more

Pizza, service, decor is splendid! I ordered meatballs and chicken parm. The meatballs looked like a beef and pork blend, but were not fried and were so uniform in texture It struck me that they were likely heated from frozen in mass. The chicken parm was beautiful, but it seemed to me the cutlet was likely baked with the sauce cheese from frozen as well. (Is that the trick with the small skillets? Are we saving a step? It is a busy place and clearly a local favorite. My advice is stick to pizza and beer. read more

Visited the restaurant on Saturday, super busy even it's 1.30pm, way past lunch time. This review was for the arugula salad and pesto ham pizza (ms piggy). The pizza and salad were big portion. I like the sweet pecan bits on the salad, the salad dressing was light and refreshing. Pesto pizza was delicious with the ham and pesto sauce. We waited for 30 minutes to get seated, once we placed our order, the food came out quick within 10 minutes. Overall good food, quick and friendly service. Will be back soon for other things in the menu read more

I love Guy Fieri, so I had to come eat here on my most recent trip to Flagstaff. Even on a Monday night, this place hardly had any reservations available but were able to accommodate us last minute since we came in early (around 4:30 pm). Ambiance here is cozy and inviting, what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. Their happy hour specials were great - a strong margarita for $5.50? Yes please. We were able to get a few rounds of those while waiting for the rest of the party to show up. We kicked things off with the burrata appetizer which was delicious and packed with prosciutto. I had to get the Belgio Dolce pizza, which Guy ate, as my main. What a mix of flavors - Brussel sprouts, Calabrian chili, Soppressata plus honey drizzle? Yes please. Waitstaff was incredibly accommodating as well. 10/10 spot if you're in the area. read more

Fat Olives is the must visit Italian restaurant in Flagstaff. It's a quaint and ethnic dining area with an open view of the kitchen. Very Italian in the feel and lighting. There's plenty of room but the place gets packed. The servers and waiting staff are great. I had the meatball appetizer and they were fabulous!!! The Miss Piggy pizza is a creamy pesto pie with mortadella bacon crumble and caramelized onions. I enjoyed that pizza, especially the Neapolitan style crust thin inside with puffy crust. Terrific!!! I came because I visited place Guy Fieri visited on Diners Drive ins and Dives. This one was a good find, a strongly recommend you come enjoy this gem joint. read more

Service by Isaac was great! Came for weekday dinner and seated at pizza bar on walk in. Market salad with smoked salmon - great to have fresh Parmesan Diavola pizza - a bit oily for me and the crust was hard, perhaps a bit overcooked Lasagna - fresh tomato flavor - personally would've liked a bit more veggies like mushroom Pistachio gelato - very pistachio tasting! Would like to try blood orange sorbet or tiramisu next time read more

Didn't have to wait for a table during lunch time. - Adovada 3.1/5 Honestly, it's such a basic pizza. The tomato sauce doesn't stand out, the dough tastes good but it flops a lot in the middle. The toppings were scarce. The cooked onions on top made the pizza pretty sweet. Not spicy at all. Not sure how they got 5th place international with this pizza. - Spaghetti & Meatballs 2.3/5 Super basic spaghetti and meatballs. They don't give you enough sauce, had to ask for more. The meatballs are just basic, nothing special. Lacked seasoning. The house salad was recommended over the Caesar salad but couldn't even taste the dressing! - Tiramisu 1.9/5 Not enough espresso/coffee taste, the mascarpone was too much. Comes in a jar. read more

Fat Olives is my main motivation to return to Flagstaff. A celebrated treasure featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, my main question was- is it worth the hype? Truly, if I had it my way, I would have tried a new dish here everyday of our stay! As I write this, I still long to try their desserts, so yes, I believe it is. The best decision of our trip was sitting at the pizza bar. At the pizza bar, you're able to watch the construction and execution of each dish, smell the scent of fresh tomato, hear each chop of the knife, and take in the magic that is the handcrafted woodfire oven. At the pizza bar, you're able to indulge in the bustling flow of the kitchen, but most importantly, at the pizza bar, you're able to converse with the chef. While casually twirling pizza dough on one hand, chef recommended we try a dish that we couldn't order anywhere else, so we did. A red pepper tapenade was the dish of the day, and this twist featuring red peppers, artichoke hearts and more served as the perfect appetizer to the kenai pizza. I can describe the flavor no better than Guy Fieri himself, so I won't attempt to, but it's certainly worth ordering. Too full to indulge in dessert, I'll be back! If you had any hesitation in visiting, I'd recommend visiting for lunch to avoid long wait times (we were seated immediately) and bringing a few friends as the pies feed 2 more or less. There are a lot of pizza options in Flagstaff. If you're willing to spend the calories, spend them here, where it counts. read more

Fat Olives is a great Italian restaurant located in Flagstaff. The parking lot is extremely small and easy to miss when driving but. Fat Olives is extremely busy and if you don't make a reservation, the wait can be a few hours. Make a reservation days ahead. With all that being noted, I have been to Fat Olives many times throughout the years and they have never failed to deliver the quality they are known for. Even though it is extremely busy, the service is fantastic. Our waiter was extremely kind and attentive and the atmosphere while lively was extremely calming. Fat Olives is known for their pizza, they have a brick oven from Italy and it makes a complete difference. I ordered the Fat Olives pizza and added prosciutto (not baked in, added afterwards). While it has ricotta on it, the pizza was "dangerously" light (easy to eat the whole thing in one sitting). The flavors are fresh and the tomato sauce was the perfect level of acidity. Someone else in my group ordered the Pesto Spaghetti, the spaghetti comes coated with a perfect amount of pesto and two crispy pieces of prosciutto. The spaghetti also is "dangerously" light and it is extremely flavorful and fresh. If you are feeling like eating pasta, this one is the way to go. read more

Stopped in here while on a family vacation. We selected this place because we saw that it was a Guy Fieri favorite. The parking lot was fairly full but we found a spot. Now this place isn't amongst all the restaurants near the I-17/I-40 area. It's on the east end of town. Seeing lots of locals dining and lots of take-out orders was a good sign in my opinion. This is an Italian restaurant...not just a pizza place. And prices are reasonable for what you get. Upon arrival, we were told it would be a 30 minute wait for our party of 7. But they were able to seat us after just 10 mins! The inside decor is nothing overly fancy, but it was nice. There's even a covered outside eating area. There's a small bar area should you just wanna have a drink or two. Our waiter was always on top of things. Our food came very fast! Besides ordering some of the more popular dishes such as pizza and spaghetti, we decided to throw caution to the wind and ordered Stracciatella...something none of had even heard of. This appetizer was very tasty and a great beginning to our dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food and most orders were way larger than we expected. We definitely took our leftovers. If you're passing through the Flagstaff area and won't some great Italian foo, this should be one of your top option. read more

Awesome experience! Tasty food! The food is so good! We ordered pizza and the chicken parmigiana. They were both excellent. The pizza is very thin and you can fold it when you eat. It was freshly made and so good. Everyone loved their pizza that was in our party. The chicken parmigiana is awesome. The sauce is a white and red sauce combined. It's not acidic. It was so tasty! Everything is made In the brick oven. This pace is a certified Italian restaurant, Guy Fieri approved. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting Italian. The old fashioned was also excellent. The r local red ale was yummy. I would return. read more

My husband and I stopped for a pizza and a salad on Sunday, 5/24. We walked in at 11:30, and we were done by 12:05. what!?! The service was unbelievably great and fast. And then the food was excellent. The price was just right. Though I learned from a friend who lives in Flagstaff said that the retailers now add 4% for "Flagstaff Service Fee". A bit annoying. They should just increase the prices of the menu so their customers aren't surprised with the stupid fee a the end. It is a small fee. But it's a stupid way to get money from the customers for the increased minimum wages. The minimum wages have gone up little by little in the past as anything else. anyway, outside of the fee, we were extremely happy to have dined there. We will certainly go back and try other items on the menu. read more

There's still easily a 30-45 minute wait even with a reservation. Parking is very limited also btw. Service was stellar. The Belgio Dolce pizza was just ok imo. We actually preferred the Marmalade pizza instead. Carnivore pizza was what you expect it to be to be but the soft crumbly sausage was a nice touch. FYI: they don't give you any kind of bread for the table. read more

First visit, Friday night visit, party of two. The wait time was originally quoted for an hour, with first available seating, we only had a 30 minute wait. The service was good. There was a small delay due to one of the pizzas we ordered being made incorrectly. Other than that no issues with the visit. The carnivore and bbq chicken pizzas were good. The toppings could have been more evenly distributed. Some pieces were missing toppings. The restaurant was full but it was not overly loud. They do charge a 4% service fee. read more
