Fat Jack’s Pizza

Fat Jack’s has several locations, and the N. West St. Shop is perfect! Seating is ample, and the acoustics keep the room fairly quiet even with the multiple TVs going.
The pizza is always evenly cooked, and very flavorful. The staff is polite, and minds the tables enough to be efficient without missing anything, or being intrusive.
Pick your toppings, grab a beer, and enjoy!

I had Fat Jack’s pizza and ordered the small with bbq sauce instead of regular sauce. The cheese and topping were okay but there was hardly any sauce on the pizza. I told the waitress and she gave me a small side of sauce to put on top of the pizza and it was good then. I also had the boneless chicken and they were okay but very small for the price (I wouldn’t order them at normal price again).Not a bad place and the people are friendly.

I grew in Lima eating Fat Jack’s pizza it was and still is the Best pizza I have ever had. I moved to Maine and they have no idea how to make a good pizza. I come home ever summer and Fat Jack’s is always a must.

Lived in several cities big and small and have to say that Fat Jacks is the best pizza I’ve ever eaten… the crust isn’t too thick or thin, the sauce is perfect and they don’t skimp on the cheese… if you don’t like it, you don’t know good pizza.

Good pizza, terrible service.
Servers stood around and talked instead of helping. Pizza was really good, but it is a shame that the servers ruined it. Stood around and talked instead of serving the table.
Pizza is a 4/​5, servers were a ²⁄₅ tops, more honestly a ¹⁄₅. Maybe if you can get it to go and avoid the servers it would be a full ⁴⁄₅.

THIS is the place to get pizza in the Lima area. I craved this when moved away. It is a thin crust, very cheesy, and have some good specialty pizzas. I do wish they were a little more generous with the toppings though. STILL this is my pick for the area. Plus the buffet is generally good and they have brought pizzas out for the buffet that I have asked for. The service has always been great as well. They also have gluten free crust that tastes great too.

Awesome pizza. Has to be one of my faves. Definitely don’t order here with nutrition in mind haha

I went to the lunch buffet and it was nasty. The pizza was so thin, soggy and greasy. Every pizza was the same no variety and for a buffet kinda pointless. Never returning and would never recommend, have no idea how that place won any pizza awards… Or did they?

I have to get fat jacks every time I’m home visiting! Best pizza out! I recommend this location and Findlay Rd. Something is different about the spencerville rd location — pizza isn’t as good. If you love thin crust, you will love this pizza!

I moved away from Ohio years ago and only get Fat Jack’s when I am visiting my mother. For the most part, the pizzas of this place fit in within the regional style. It isn’t cut into triangles like other regions do. It is a round pizza cut into squares. It isn’t really influenced by the Chicago style; so, it isn’t a thick deep dish. It is a flat thin Sicilian influenced crust. I have been to other pizza places in the region, and they are all similar in this style. What Fat Jack’s seems to have over some of their competitors is that some of them are either over cooked or under. Fat Jack’s seems to work on consistent cook, but they also seem to be working on their quality, because the quality of their pizza has improved over what I had here last year.

AMAZING! The best pizza, and this coming from someone who has actual Chicago style pizza in Chicago. I grew up on fat jacks pizza and always go out of my way to get some (well 21 inches) of this pizza goodness every time I am in Ohio! This is a must place pizza place! It is a bar setting but also catered towards the kids with a few games, don’t worry parents they have a couple real dart boards and a juke box! If that’s not enough they have tons of auto loto options and drinks to make the wife more pretty even after eating too much of the pizza!

This was great! Pizza, garlic toast and poppers were yummy. Great pizza and beer special on Tuesday. Definite must return!

Fat Jack’s was always my favorite Pizza joint growing up in the Lima area. It has some nostalgic feelings for me since I always went here with my family as a child. The pizza is a thin crust, cut in to squares with plenty of melty cheese. It is one of the places you have to try in the Lima area. It always seemed to be pretty busy, and the service was always pretty good. It is not the BEST pizza you will ever have, but it is pretty good for Lima.

Fat Jack’s is my favorite pizza, hands down. I moved to Texas 20 years ago, and make sure to fit in a few (or more, but who’s counting?!) visits to FJ every time I come to town. We actually ate there 4 times in one week this past summer. No lie. It’s that good. Can’t lose with the pizza, and a modified version of the ham and cheese sub is a favorite of mine as well. Can’t wait for my next visit, can’t find pizza like this anywhere else!!!

Casual dining, the BEST pizza! We drive over an hour for a Fat Jack’s Pizza! Be prepared to wait during prime hours… worth it!

I can’t find pizza like this anywhere but Lima Ohio. The crust is crispy but not crunchy. The sauce is sweet but not tangy and the cheese is really cheesy.
Pepperoni, sausage, onion, mushroom, black olives, and maybe some pepperchini’s. My wife is not from lima but raves about this pie to everyone. Can’t wait to visit April!

Fat Jack’s Pizza is hard to describe. It’s like a robust thin crust: crispy, yet loaded with cheese and toppings. The sauce really is a non-​factor, but the pizza gets along just fine without gobs of tomato sauce.
I initially wasn’t into the place, as it shares a building with a convenience store. When I walked in the door, three employees just stared at me. I stared back. Finally, one said, «Sit anywhere.»
So I grabbed a seat toward the back, next to a TV showing the NASCAR race. (Yes, I kinda like NASCAR. Shut up.) A server, Kimmy, soon was with me, and she was wonderful.
Kimmy patiently waited while my co-​diner returned from the restroom, then suggested a special that could accommodate the two of us: a 14″ two-​topping pizza with a pitcher of beer for $ 14.99 ($ 12.99 if you order soda instead). Outstanding!
Fat Jack’s even allowed us to select our individual two topping for each half of the pizza. I had pepperoni and mushroom; she had banana peppers and sausage. Both were outstanding.
With beer finished and race complete, we packed up the remaining four slices. I’m chowing on them now. They’re good cold but were better straight from Fat Jack’s oven.
Another great feature is Fat Jack’s hours: open until 1 a.m. six days and week and midnight on Sundays. Coupled with a wide beer selection in a town that goes to bed early, that’s a godsend.
