REVIEWS OF Fat Jimmy's Pizza IN Kentucky

Roxanne Lewis

The hostess was amazing! Very sweet young lady! When we first got there the bar looked like it had not been refreshed in a bit. However before I had finished my salad, the pizzas were rolling out. The slices I had were good. The dining room was clean. The bar area was clean. I have only two issues one the sweet balls need a dipping sauce. Also u saw a girl go up to the pasta bar to get it. She looked on her plate and found something on her pasta and threw it back into the water. I was going to say something to the hostess but her mom came and fixed another plate. So she got whatever it was in the pasta. We will definitely go back!

Andrew Adams

This place is awesome. It's a great pizza buffet for a good price. The people working there are always really nice and welcoming. It's a family owned place, and it shows in the care that they put into it. Easily one of my favorite pizza places in Louisville. Check it out!

Mike Jackson

Love Fat Jimmy's Pizza, anytime or everytime we do pizza for lunch at work we go to FJ buffet. Great pizza and a good selection. They also do a good job of keeping the buffet stocked during busy lunch hours.

Pat McGroyne

A neighborhood gem. I don't know how I missed this place for three years. Very friendly people, super tasty pizza. I tried a little of everything, and it was all good. Ten bucks including tax. It even smells like the neighborhood pizza joint. I'll definitely be back.

Spidercraft 237

The place had great food and the staff was just perfect. I would definitely want to go back.

Scott Giles

Came here on 3/9/19 while in the area on a load with my job. For the price you can't beat it $10 for pizza buffet and drink. Pizza was great and so was the taco soup. Never once while I was there did I see a pizza pan with only 1or 2 slices left on it, unlike some pizza buffet places I have been to our even empty spots for that matter. The Veggie pizza was awesome with the Oregano on it. Cheesy/Bacon potatoes could have had more cheese on them. Staff is very friendly and place was clean even with it pouring outside on day I was there. I would recommend this place to people most definitely. Keep up the great work Fat Jimmy's, I will be back when ever I am in area and want pizza that's for sure. Post says Google user but my name is Scott Giles and I am in the area often due to my job with XPO Logistics Express.

Avery Runion

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing price. I never thought any pizza place would usurp Gatti’s as my favorite local pizza place, but fat jimmys is sure giving it a run for its money!

ashleigh staten

Great pizza! This was our first time eating here and it was great! It reminds me of Cici's pizza minus the brownies. We will return!

Charles Crump

I am a bus driver from Detroit, I was looking to feed my group...the Great Cass Tech High Band returning from The Liberty Bowl in Memphis TN. Found Fat Jimmy's online, the food was outstanding, hot and fresh! Jimmy and his staff were great! Jimmy every bus driver and company will know about your restaurant... Thanks

David Denkhoff

Good and fresh. Nice selection

Dujuan Thomas

Best pizza buffet in town ! Well... the only one. And I love it ! The owner is a great guy and the food is AMAZING !

walking by faith Mccollom

First time vistor..Affordable and reasonable price. The selection of pizza and sides are a little short on variety thats why the 3 stars but , you get what you pay for..They served chilli which i thought was a unique touch considering its a pizza buffet. Customer service was friendly everyone greeted and smiled decent place for a bite to eat and the atmosphere is inviting for family and friends..!oh and the chocolate chip cookies are very good!!

Ironfish660

Awesome place! I had heard a few good things before but never really thought to stop in. Now I'm really regretting not coming in sooner. Here are some highlights of my visit: * Employees are very attentive and proactive * Food selection is broad and accompanies everybody * All food was excellent * Extremely reasonably priced

Christian Gilpin

Best pizza I've ever had in my whole life! Good service too.

Daniel Gilvin

Great Pizza buffet!

James Walker

Very good buffet and the best taco soup I've ever tasted! Great food for a great price!

Jason Tucker

Good variety of pizza and pasta. Salad bar was good. Cookies were perfect. Great value and staff was awesome! Todd was great kept checking on the customers.

Steve Ambs

Went for the buffet. The staff was very friendly & asked if I had any requests for a specific pizza. When I finished my salad, my pizza was ready. The salad bar is small & they only have a couple of pasta options. Anyway, it's really about the pizza, which is quite good. They kept at least 8 hot & fresh pizzas out. The butter garlic balls, hot bread with icing, & cookies were all tasty, too. The dining area is tables & chairs with a few booths. Nothing fancy, but it looked very clean & they kept the used dishes picked up.

Dudley Henderson

Our favorite pizzeria. We have a family tradition to go there every father's day. It has become the place to meet when the extended family gets together. Great buffet with lots of choices. Great price too. You will never leave there hungry.

keith henson

Nice laid back family atmosphere. Just the place for hungry kids and stressed parents. We didn’t get any side eye looks or judged for being a little over messy and loud with a party of 8, 5 of which were crazy kids. I was impressed at the variety of options on the buffet, quality of food, and astonishing price. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Def would come back again.

Finhigh

Great food Great atmosphere Awesome service

Todd Welsh

Friendly place. Great butter balls and sweet balls!

G F

Great service but it was cold in there. Great pizza and wonderful workers

Dylan Houston

Absolutely the best pizza buffet I have ever been to. I'm from South Carolina so I am by no means a local, but my family and I really liked the food here and were very happy with this place. Pizza is fresh with a nice thin crust. Ingredient quality is superb. And they have Coke Zero! The guy working there greeted us with a smile. I wish I could move this place to SC!

Stacy Robinson

Great salad and pizza buffet.

John Stewart

Fresh food, lots of variety on the buffet. The staff is friendly and they keep the dining area very clean. A favorite for my family!

Charles Land

Great pizza buffet. Down to earth and friendly staff. The atmosphere was homey. They have a giant chalkboard wall that my kids covered in drawings. Pizza was great.

Gabrielle Combs

They had a really nice variety of pizza on the buffet and they kept bringing out fresh!The pizza was hot, fresh and tasty! The salad was good, spinach! The soup was really good. The chocolate chip cookies for dessert was a nice touch. Good value and friendly staff!

Philip McMahan

An amazing pizza spot. They have a buffet or a take out option. Fat Jimmy is always on site, working in the kitchen to make sure his name and brand are kept up to par. Coloring sheets for the kids and also a chalk board wall for you and your kids to doodle on! TV's always have recent sports playing and make sure you try their Fat Rolls.

MARCUS L SMITH SR

They have some good pizza and customer service is excellent

Steve Butler

Best pizza! Great place to go anytime of day.

Kai Herrmann

Good buffet!

Angela Wacker

Stopped in this afternoon for my nephews birthday. Everything was absolutely delicious, service was excellent! Food was fresh and hot. Price is very very reasonable and I honestly don’t think I could find a better deal in town. I will definitely be back again and again! A++++++

Trumpetto31

Best pizza buffet ever! The staff are so friendly and helpful! You have the classics but also plenty of different flavors like bbq chicken (which is my favorite). You can even request they cook a pizza, and they will gladly do it. You also have pasta and salad to choose from as well as garlic knots, cinnamon knots, and cookies.

Marcel Minton

Honestly the best little restaurant in all of Louisville. Portions are gigantic and delicious for such a cheap price. I used to walk there almost every day after school and the staff are bright and friendly everyday. Also sometimes the live entertainment brings a hometown smile to my face

Country Soap Suds And More

Nothing fancy but wonderful buffet for a great cost.

Steve Whitehouse

Eric Kraig

This is an easy one. Fat Jimmy's has been a family favorite for years. Great pizza and friendly staff.

Sharalee Eckley

Good food buffet could be bigger since it is the only thing offered.

Bill Moeller

The food was great maybe more selection for the buffet needed. Would definitely return, hospitality was on point.

Kris Neat

Love eating lunch there. Great place and great pizza.

Chris Rennirt

My friends eat at Fat Jimmy's often, but I personally dislike the pizza more than any other pizza I've eaten. It's too thin, not enough toppings, and bland, not even a bargain at $10.00. But, then again, you might be more like my friends. Try it, and decide for yourself.

Galen Lowrey

Good buffet, decent price, good food

Mindy Houlihan

Fast and family friendly setting.

Chicken Nugget

Best pizza in Louisville always leaving to that place stuffed

Benjamin Thurston

Nice price with good pizza, that's awesome, add all you cab eat and I am one happy camper. The crew is friendly and quick to server. Make sure to get some buttery balls and some sweet ball it is a good way to start abd end your meal.

Natalie Senger

Great food, great people and great atmosphere. The staff were so nice and attentive.

Joey Derrico

Been here 4 times now with the family, and the food is good and fresh, the staff is super friendly. This place consistently hits the mark. Happy to give this place my business.

Hannah Huffman

My husband took me here for the first time tonight and oh.my.gosh am I in love. First of all, the super casual interior is fun, cozy and welcoming...there's a chalk wall for kids, and a table with coloring sheets and crayons to take to their table... The pizza was seriously some of the BEST I have had on Louisville, and I've lived here for almost 11 years now. The Tito's pizza was my jam. But, beyond the food, the affordable prices, the awesome selection, the atmosphere and the fun family friendly environment, was the AMAZING customer service. The manager and the owners son were the two working tonight and they were so sweet and kept checking on everyone in the dining area making sure there weren't any types of pizzas they needed or wanted, asking if everything was good, they even sent us home with some pizza since they were about to close. The kindness and charm and attention to customers was by far the most wonderful thing about Fat Jimmy's. We will definitely be back!

Paul Tackett

Buffet is good. It included soup, salad, pasta and a drink.

FOC

Great buffet. Always a good place to take the kids for lunch.

Alexander Daugherty

Aesome place worth checking out. Great food.

Mary Essaili

We really like it

Christian Allan

Love this pizza go on a date with my co worker there as much as I can

Elden Ford

Great local place to find good pizza! I especially like the fact that they have a buffet all day long. You don't find many pizza places that still have a good buffet. They keep their selection fresh and rotated. Clean restaurant including the restrooms. Come here if you want good pizza, because you will be sure to leave full. Good value for the money.

Simone Stidham

All you can eat buffet yummy pizza and pasta

Elizabeth

This place was really good!!! We were in Louisville visiting our son and he took us to Fat Jimmys for lunch. We really liked it! The staff was very friendly...my husband kept teasing them because they don’t serve coffee LOL we had been on the road for 3 hours and he REALLY wanted a cup of coffee.

Jenifer Fife

Fat Jimmy's is the best!!!! My kids absolutely love it as well.

Sailor Moon182

Friendly staff, excellent service and yummy pizza!! Love this place!!!

darkpatches .

My first time here. We arrived around 4:30, only one other customer there who was finishing up. Salad and soup were fine. Pasta looked dried out, so didn't try. Root beer syrup/CO2 mix wasn't quite right; sweet tea was fine. Cookies were good. At least 7 pizzas on the buffet, all full or nearly full, plus cheese bread (a lot for few to no customers). How many hours old were they? 1, 2, since lunch? I don't know, but they certainly looked and tasted dried out and old. I should have asked for fresh pizza, but for my first time here, I wasn't certain what the standard was. As we were finishing, more people came in and fresh pizzas showed up. I tried a slice. Much improved and more cheese than the pizzas they replaced, which gave the appearance they cater to meal time crowds and slight those in-between. How much contempt do you have to have for your customers to let them pay for and eat horrible pizza. My advice: Instead of making 7 or 8 pizzas for the dead time between lunch/dinner, make 2, quartered with the toppings of the 8 pizzas, or halved with the toppings of 4 pizzas. And throw them away every hour and make new ones. Ask the few customers you get between meal times what they like in order to augment the few pizzas on the bar with specific half & half pizzas. Or don't offer buffet pizza outside of mealtimes. And though I admit now that I should have asked for fresh pizza, (Fat Jimmy's) please don't tell me that that's what I should have done (as you've done in other reviews). It's not just the customers responsibility to ensure they get quality food, it's primarily yours. And you didn't.

Came from Wisconsin for Run 4 the Roses. Was close to hotel. Amazing!!! Everyone was friendly. Food was awesome. Well priced. Good family spot.

christian allan

Great buffet for a great price! Super friendly service, Skinny Sarah was the best! Anything less than a 5 star is a disservice to them!

Marcia Johnson

Place was clean. Food was alright. Pizza a little dry disappointed ☹️ Been before and was good.

Gary P

Stopped in to try the lunch buffet. The man working the register was friendly but, unfortunately, the pizza was bland at best. I gave Fat Jimmy's 3 stars because of the friendly staff and the chocolate chip cookies, but I could never be a repeat customer. I suggest that you try the Hometown Pizza place just down the road. #saynotofatjimmy'spizzabuffet #cici'spizzamaybebetter

Joseph Smith

Fabulous pizza

Crystal Unrue

Pasta was terrible ☹️ pizza was subpar but the place was clean.

FacelessMassacre

Good food, nice pizza buffet selection, quiet atmosphere and very friendly staff.

joel lobb

Excellent pizza and buffet

Alexx Fluhr

Very good food and atmosphere. Always a good time whenever I come. Everyone is always smiling and having a good time.

Anthony Iommi

The place has a clean, cozy family atmosphere. Caters to school kids into sports. Can get crowded accordingly. Overall is a nice hangout with a friend or two. Mostly 70-80s rock music playing not too loud. Now the food and prices. We go there at least once a week. Buffet and 2 drinks from the fountain $20. Salad is fresh as if you would make it at home. They have soup of the day and pasta too. Pizzas of different types, plain, pepperoni, beef, vegetable, pineapple, etc. Not the greatest but good. Dessert choices are cinnamon bread sticks, choc chip cookies and choc pudding. Haven't had any other food as buffet alone is very good overall. The staff is friendly and attentive. Great place.

Jason Gillenwater

If you want just pizza, this your place.

Chris Cain

Always had a good time and good food. Jimmy's has a nice selection and staff. Only go about three times a year but leave happy every time.

Chris Foster

Fantastic mom n pop pizza joint. The buffet had a great selection of good hot pizza. Desserts, pasta and soups all delicious. Very affordable and everyone was friendly. Would absolutely go back.

Carl Garrett

The staff are awesome with kids and respectful it all. The food/Buffet was just what we needed after a road trip. It was not all pizza and had a variety of drinks. The building was clean which is often hard for a buffet place. The price for the buffet is very reasonable for all the kinds of pizza they put out. Would go again in a heartbeat.

John Hill

This place is the best

Anthony Mendel

Surprisingly really good. $10 gets you a buffet that includes the normal pizza staples, as well as soup and salad options and a drink. Even at 2pm the pizza was fresh, which is a nice change from other pizza buffets I've been to in the past. Really friendly staff, clean environment. Would highly recommend for a small group to go here.

ginni bolin

Amazing food, great service!!! My family will definitely be back!!!

Toony The Loon’s Toons

Wow, just wow! Right here posting this review and the pizza is just awesome! I love the all meat pizza, the sausage, and the pepperoni pizzas. I like the cheese as well. My only problems with the place is… NONE! The service was just nice, nice, and all nice. I like the Pibb they have at the drink fountain. Right up there with Papa John’s. Wish they could do delivery pizza too. The cookies taste good. 10 out of 5!

Ori Schurr

Went there with family of 5 and everyone loved it. Price was awesome. Pizza was fresh and delicious. Salad bar was crisp. Kids loved the chalk wall. Staff was nice.

Locally owned, the best most consistent pizza buffet with a good salad bar, soup and desserts are the best to save room for cookie, cinnamon buttery bread bread drops.. clean and always well stocked buffet 7 days a week lunch and dinner, but will cook you favorite pizza and/or dessert. My family buffet in town.. make it your families today!!!

Bob Lowrey

Hadn't been to a Fat Jimmy's since college (used to frequent the Douglass Loop location when at Bellarmine). Came to this one on a whim to be quite pleased that the buffet was just as good as I remember. Good value for the price. Certainly worth seeking out!
