Menu

Our Review

The Fat Pizza focuses on made-fresh pizzas with lots of ways to customise crust and toppings, then backs it up with a big “treat yourself” extras list. Expect a menu that is as much about sides and desserts as it is about the pizza itself.

Overview

The Fat Pizza positions itself as a pizza delivery brand that does things a little differently, starting with the basics. The website places a lot of emphasis on dough, stating that pizza bases are made fresh using their own recipe, rather than relying on pre-prepared dough balls or frozen bases. Alongside that, it highlights different base styles so you can choose the kind of pizza you actually want, including deep pan, thin crust and a cheesy crust option.

Menu-wise, it reads like a modern takeaway built for big, mixed orders. Pizzas are the main draw, but there are plenty of add-ons that turn it into a full night-in spread, including sides, dips, wraps, chicken wings and a dessert range that goes well beyond the usual single cookie or ice cream tub.

What You Can Expect

The Fat Pizza’s own site leans heavily into its “fresh dough” message, with repeated mention of dough being made in-house and regularly throughout the day. It also calls out the idea of using different suppliers for cheese, meats and vegetables, with a stated focus on quality ingredients and fresh-prepped veg.

In practical menu terms, the easiest way to think about the offering is “pizza plus extras”. You will typically see the menu broken into clear categories so you can build an order in layers:

Pizzas as the centrepiece, with multiple crust styles available (deep pan, thin crust, cheesy crust).

Sides and dips for the table, the sort of additions you can pick for sharing.

Wraps (listed as Fat Pizza Wraps), which offer a non-pizza format for similar flavours.

Loaded chicken wings, which sit as a more substantial add-on than a standard side.

Desserts and sweet add-ons, which are extensive enough to choose first if you are planning a “pizza then pudding” order.

The dessert side is notably broad. Rather than just listing a couple of options, it includes categories such as topped cookie dough, topped Belgian waffles, ice cream sundaes, and cakes alongside branded ice cream choices. Drinks are treated as part of the menu too, and the range goes beyond standard soft drinks into items like frappes, matchas and slushies, depending on location and platform.

What to Order

Because The Fat Pizza is set up for mixing and matching, these “order builds” work well for different appetites and group sizes.

1) The classic pizza night build

Choose your pizza first, then decide your crust style (thin crust if you like it lighter, deep pan if you want something more substantial, or cheesy crust if you treat the crust as part of the main event).

Add one sharer side and a couple of dips, so everyone can customise slices and crust.

Finish with one dessert designed for sharing, cookie dough or a waffle-based option suits that “split it between two” style.

2) The wings-and-sides build

Pick one pizza as the base for the order.

Add a loaded chicken wings option as the main extra, rather than multiple smaller sides.

Include dips so you can switch flavours between pizza, wings and any potato-style sides you add.

This one works well if you like a spread that feels snackable, where pizza is part of the table rather than the whole meal.

3) The mixed-format build (useful for groups)

One pizza plus one wrap, so you have two different formats.

One or two sides and dips as shared extras.

A dessert category pick, such as cake slices or an ice cream sundae option, depending on whether you want warm and baked or cold and creamy.

It’s a handy approach when not everyone wants pizza as their only main.

4) The sweet-tooth build

Keep the pizza choice simple.

Go bigger on dessert by choosing one “topped” option (cookie dough or Belgian waffles) plus a second dessert, such as cake or ice cream.

If your household treats dessert as a proper course, The Fat Pizza’s menu categories make that easy.

Dietary Options

Dietary and allergen detail is limited in the sources provided, but there are a couple of clear points worth noting.

The Fat Pizza’s allergen page advises customers with allergens to call before ordering, and it also states that nuts are present in the kitchen in most outlets. That’s important context for anyone with a nut allergy or who needs strict cross-contamination controls.

Beyond that, specific vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free menu labelling is Not stated in the sources provided here, so it’s best to check item-by-item before ordering, particularly where cheese blends, meats, and sauces are involved.

Who It’s Best For

People who care about pizza base style, especially if you like switching between thin crust, deep pan and cheesy crust depending on mood.

Households ordering together, where one order needs to cover a pizza main plus extras like wings, wraps, dips and dessert.

Anyone who likes turning takeaway into a full “courses” night in, thanks to the larger dessert range (cookie dough, waffles, sundaes and cakes).

Groups who prefer building a spread, one pizza as the anchor, then sides and loaded wings as the shared middle.

Final Thoughts

The Fat Pizza’s focus is on fresh-made dough and giving you choices around crust style, with the rest of the menu designed to help you build a bigger, more varied order. If you like treating pizza as the starting point rather than the whole plan, adding wings, wraps, dips and a proper dessert finish, it fits that style of ordering well. Just bear in mind that allergen guidance is handled via contact-first advice, with a specific note that nuts are present in many kitchens, so anyone with allergies will want to check before choosing.
