Food is great, but they can’t keep it staffed or open. Almost every time I go here they either don’t have something or it’s closed. Don’t recommend if you want a place that’s reliable or a place you can depend on to be open
Ordered pepperoni rolls and asked for light cheese and they put extra cheese and less pepperoni. And I ordered a dozen of them
A Ripley Classic Reborn: How Fat Albert's Found Its Flavor Again For a long time, many of us in Ripley watched with a heavy heart as a beloved local institution, Fat Albert's Pizza, seemed to lose its way. Under previous ownership, the spark that made it special had dimmed. It became just another run-of-the-mill pizza joint, serving up bland, uninspired pies that felt more like a chore than a treat. The magic, it seemed, was gone. Enter the new owners, and with them, a culinary resurrection. It is an absolute delight to report that Fat Albert's is not just back; it's a true return to the "good old days." The new proprietors have clearly dug into the archives, resurrecting the original, iconic sauce recipe that first won this town over. That familiar, savory tang is back, and it makes all the difference. This commitment to tradition is most evident in the pizza itself. In an area saturated with pizza options, Fat Albert's now stands out precisely by returning to its roots. The foundation of any great pizza is its crust, and their dough—never frozen, always fresh—is a revelation. It’s baked to the perfect point of crispness, providing a sturdy yet chewy base that isn't just a vehicle for toppings, but a star in its own right. And speaking of toppings, they are generous. You will not find any sparse, sad-looking pies here; each one is loaded with quality ingredients. Of course, one cannot discuss Fat Albert's without mentioning the legendary pepperoni rolls. I am thrilled to confirm they are still just as delicious as you remember—perfectly baked, stuffed with flavor, and an absolute must-try for any first-timer (or tenth-timer, for that matter). Perhaps one of the most welcome sights is the return of the lunch buffet. It offers incredible value, providing a fantastic, hearty lunch for a great price. It's not just pizza, either. The buffet features a wonderful variety of options, a fresh salad bar, and—the perfect finishing touch—a selection of homemade desserts that feel like they came straight from a family kitchen. Fat Albert's Pizza has undergone more than a change in management; it has undergone a transformation, reclaiming its soul. It's a heartwarming story of new owners honoring a legacy, proving that you can, indeed, go home again.
