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

Pizza ok for a real Italian, but for all american city boy, toppings scarce, too much tomato sauce, little flavor except tomato sauce. However, the steak and cheese sandwich is 'to die for'. A Hot Hoagie thats toasted, full flavored, red dipping sauce, a real taste treat. Plenty of melted tasty cheese, don't forget extra pepperocini's (sp?)....Prices moderate to high for takeout food. Eat in is a questionable experience. Overall, if you already know what you like on their menu, you're safe.

Pros: great hoagie, experience you will remember

Cons: ambience, parking, experience you will remember, pizza

I've been searching for the perfect pizza in the Mpls/St Paul area for years and have yet to find it. It was not found here either. The crust was a little thicker than I like, the cheese was bland, but the toppings were fresh and good. There were actually chunks of tomatoes in the sauce, which is good. If you are in the neighborhood, try it.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: parking

This is a great little place if you love pizza it always crowded but it worth the the Waite, and would it be crowded if it wasn't good? It has the pest pizza that makes others seem bla and the serves is great once your seated. I would suggest to take it to go on Friday night.

Pros: great pizza, great service, great desert

Cons: parking, Waite, crowded

If you're in the area, this is a good place to go. Food, service, and atmosphere is slightly above average. It's good, accurately priced, but not worth making a trip to this place.

Fat Lorenzo's is a great place to take the kids. The pizza and sandwiches are very good. Service is always excellent. It is amazing how many pizzas go out of the place while you are sitting there waiting for yours. They are busy at times but the food is worth the wait. And their prices are pretty comparable to other good pizza places.

In general the resturant is cramped, but cozy. The pizza is average, and could be considered a bit cheesy. However, the great selection of beers and the neighborhood atmosphere puts this pizza place in the "reccomended" section. If you're in the south Minneapolis area and need your beer and cheese fix I can't think of a better place. Pizza snobs should look elsewhere.

Pros: Beer selection, location

Cons: cramped
