Awesome food in a relaxed atmosphere. A few tables outside and plenty of seating inside. Service was good. We tried the Calcinato appetizer (awesome!) Fats Pizza, Steak hoagie, Paola’s Pasta and 6 flavors of Gelato! Everyone was happy with the food. We will be back next time we are in the area.

Very good fills you up and it's right price CLOC. Haven't been in in a little bit but nice place to eat nice people greet two beautiful lakes to look at when you get done eating delicious. C-LOC
This small restaurant, located away from the standard shopping areas, is a friendly place. Not part of a chain so original. Great, no nonsense staff. Pasta was good, pizza was OK but not as you would get it in Italy. Adapted to American taste, thicker crust. Blasfemie in Italy :-) Staff made a mistake when passing the order to the kitchen but sorted it out in no time. All in all good experience.
Best in South Minneapolis. If not in all of Minneapolis! And they have been performing at this consistently high level for at least 25-30 years. Great menu variety; it's more than pizzas. I've never been disappointed with their quality, service , or variety. Great place!!
Nothing like a local place that uses the best ingredients and makes the pizza right in front of you. The price paid for two different meals for my partner and I because of how big the pizza is! The Fat's Combo (pictured) is a MUST. The breadstick is tasty, but note that it is one BIG one, not a bunch of small ones. Can't wait to come back again soon.
Always love Fat Lorenzos, but today kindof a disappointment. Drove a half hour out of our way and paid $30 for a single large pepperoni. Seemed like a small box. Super busy. Overheard an employee say “ you gave away that large pep to someone else, didnt you?”Got home. Lo and behold. Not our pizza. Measured it too. Ha.Tried calling to rectify it, got put on hold for 10+ min, and forgotten.Oh well.Maybe another time it’ll be right..
Great place for either a slice or whole pizza pie.Try their bread stick starter perfect for two people.They make great tasting Fat's pizza with a tasty topping to crust ratio.Remember to save room for their chocolate gelato.
Nummy fresh cheesy pizza. Service was a little delayed, but overall great food. Cost very reasonable. Would still highly recommend.
I loved our lunch date today at Fat Lorenzo’s on 5600 Cedar Ave S! The ambience was romantic, charming, and memorable. My husband and I shared a “Fat’s” salad and an order of chicken Alfredo which were delicious! We were warmly greeted at the door and our waiter was very attentive to our needs! An A+ experience!
Fat Lorenzo's always has been one of our favorite pizza places. The waitstaff is always friendly, and the smaller dining area is cozy. I would have given a better rating, but the pizza quality has not been as good for our last two visits. The pizza crust has lost the fresh-baked taste, and seems stale and dried out.
