Family Nights at Fat's – Good pizza, a nice selection of Italian entrees, fresh salads, one of the better bottled beer selections around - all at reasonable prices. Take these and put them into a small, neighborhoody atmosphere with a friendly waitstaff and you have Fat Lorenzo's. Their pizza is way above local chian places, however I do wish they would use a bit more sauce and less cheese. A slice of Fat's Special could easily take you over your daily calorie limit! The entrees are the surprise here. Lasagna, spaghetti w/ s... read more

Some Pizza with Your Cheese – Fat Lorenzo's was a place that we went to right before hopping onto 77 after a fun day at Lake Nokomis. What better way to end a day than with pizza?! We ordered a hoagie and some slices of pizza. The hoagie was OK and the pizza slices were HUGE. The main problem? They try and win you over with cheese. I wouldn't be surprised if there was ONE CUP of mozzarella on my one slice. This in turn made the slice greasy and although I am a cheese LOVER (I always always order extra cheese) this was enough... read more

Not the Best pizza – While Fat Lorenzo's puts together a good pizza, it lacks the style and emphasis to put it in the league with other local establishments like the Original Green Mill, Broeders or Olde Pipper Inn.

Over rated – Fat Lorenzo's pizza suites the pallates of those who don't know good pizza. Our pizza arrived with a pool of oil in the middle; the sauce was weak, and the crust simply did not compare with Cossettas or the Savoy in St. Paul. I would not bother to go back!

They have pizza? – Never had the pizza, but the hoagies are outstanding. Veggie, meatball, whichever, you can't miss.

I enjoyed my pizza, but believed it to be very expensive for a neighborhood pizzaria.

Great pizza – Fat Lorenzo's pizza is distinctive and is some of the best in the cities. If you're looking for deep dish pizza with chunky toppings and a zesty sauce, this is the place to go. Small seating area but worth the wait.

favorite pizza outta New York! – Every time i return home to the Twin Cities -- I make a point of stopping in to see the gang at Fat Lorenzo's--not only the best pizza but thier house salad is substantial and always fresh! Granted-no airconditioning in the summer makes it sometimes uncomforatble but the pizza is so good we never mind it. If you're looking for a great meal--try Fat Lorenzo's!!!
