If you the customer are willing to spend $100 or more on pizzas to donate to hospitals etc, then Fat Boy will deliver to the hospital for free. Then they will be sure to snap a picture and upload to their social media accounts nonstop all day like they are doing something good for the community

I've noticed a few places doing this, and agree it is pretty weird. Its great that you're able to call in an order to donate and that they'll bring it there for you, but them posting it to their social media and making it look like they did the donating is kinda funny.

Yep. There are some real heroes out there. Toups, Red Bean Parade, Blue Oak etc.. these places are doing serious work feeding the front lines and those in need

Fat Boy is a joke all around

It’s really not good. Way too much flop. Low quality cheese. Super greasy. Overpriced. 20 bucks for a 16 inch pepperoni. The cheese sticks are aight.

The kids love it cause they have a gum ball machine with like 100,000 balls. The size of a Volkswagen.

RED ZEPPLIN is the best pizza in baton rouge

Kind of hard to grant this to a pizza restaurant that doesn’t make its own dough and buys it frozen from Sysco or whoever. Sure the toppings and atmosphere are good and enjoy the pizza, but if you can’t make dough in house it doesn’t deserve best pizza title. Never been to Fat Boy - wonder if they make their own dough at least?

I was just coming here to say this. Don't think Red Zepplin is that great. What's the big draw?

I've never been. What makes it so terrible? The sauce? Poor crust?

For me... a whole lot of dough with little toppings and sauce. Not looking for it to be loaded but where was the toppings for the price. Lot of money for an oversized piece of dough.
