Editorial Review for Fat Lorenzo's – by Annamarie Adkins

In Short
Chubby cherubs waltz with plump tomatoes on the ceiling, while the dining room is snug with high booths and little tables. Friends, neighbors and families come for red-sauce, old-school Italian-American fare. Everything is big, filling and usually delicious. The grilled stromboli is packed with meat and oozy cheese, and the rich, hot artichoke dip is served with garlicky little slices of Italian bread. The appropriately named Fat's pizza--New York style--is loaded with hand-cut ingredients.

Not only does Fat Lorenzos have excellent pizza, but they also are in a very cool building with great service. The staff has been friendly every time I've been there. The crust on the pizza and the sauce are both top shelf. Good stuff!

Pros: Great value, excellent service, great food

Cons: Only one in the Twin Cities

This is a great little restaurant to get take out, delivery or take the kids to. Its not fancy by any means, but the staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, the delivery is quick and the food is pretty darn good. Its not diet....they pile on the cheese! The meatball hoagie is the best in town and I love their pizza sauce! Its noisy and fun and great for kids. The other reviewers that are looking for gourmet shouldn't be going to this little neighborhood joint. Leave it to the rest of us in the city!!

Pros: Location, Food, Prices, Delivery, family friendly

Cons: lots o' cheese
