Two quick bites and a quick box close is usually a bad sign. I think his scoring was way off. It should’ve been a 2.3 at most.


He’s gone soft. Old days he would dog places but the reviews are popular enough to crush a business

Is Fat Boy's really terrible?


I’m pretty sure it’s just a tax shelter for the owners who have no interest in putting out a quality product.

Most pizza here is made too fast to get it out of the oven and out of the door. Dave like double baked. He wants the cheese brown maybe a couple of burnt spots on top and a crispy fully cooked bottom. No flop.

I concur. I don't want a pizza I have to cook when I get it home but there are almost no places that cook that way in Nola. If you know of them post them. I'm the guy who loves the corner piece of lasagna because it is crunchy and slightly burned.

Shows you the amount of backing you have doesn’t mean dick in the restaurant busniness. Parish Line was an abject failure. I know Fat Boys in Hattiesburg just went out of business and I’m sure there are more to follow

Off of Metairie road. Put some respect on Pink Street's name!

Place seems to always be packed.

To be fair, didn’t they have a That’s Amore location in the same area that closed pretty quickly as well?

If someone from Fatboy's is downvoting, you have a lot more to worry about than the Food Board. Portnoy just sunk your battleship.
