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.

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

The first few times we ate here it was pretty good, we loved it. This last time we ordered a lasagna and it looked horrible most of the cheese was on one side hardly any pasta and the pepperoni roll was burnt the food was awful. We won’t eat here again.

We walked into the restaurant because of high recommendations. There is only seating for 10, so I understood why they had more orders to go than anything else!
We placed an appetizer and pizza order. After our order was placed a gentleman came in and placed a to go order for his workplace. His sandwiches and other items (at least 12 items as he needed help carrying the multiple bags out), was completed before our appetizers. In fact, we got our pizza BEFORE our appetizers! We had a couple children which shouldn’t matter but when you are waiting for nearly an hour, appetizers are an important part of the meal process! Let’s not forget, we couldn’t order exactly what we wanted because they were out of several things.
TASTE: Pizza was very tasty and well made with plenty of cheese! We got jalapeño poppers instead of broccoli & cheese dippers which was quite a shock to bite into, especially considering none of us like them! They were replaced and the taste was just ok, nothing great. Cheese fries were undercooked with an ok amount of cheese. The cheese sticks weren’t anything fancy but were breaded and had a good taste.
SUMMARY: service was slow and they didn’t have everything listed on the menu. Some appetizers on the menu are just ok but the pizza was very yummy. Order ahead and get takeout!

Wasn’t aware when we got here that adding the salad bar and dessert bar was an extra $6. Couldn’t eat any dessert due to the amount of flies that were all over the food. There was also a large group so they couldn’t even come close to keeping the buffet full with food. Wouldn’t recommend.

Ordered pepperoni rolls and asked for light cheese and they put extra cheese and less pepperoni. And I ordered a dozen of them

The “storefront” is extremely dirty. No soap in the restrooms.
The food was alright. The pizza is sub-par in my opinion. Under seasoned dough, too much cheese and not enough sauce.
Make mia pizza is a little better in comparison. The service was perfect though.

Fat Albert’s Pizza is a true gem. The staff are all lovely and make you feel right at home. The portions are generous, and the quality of the food is exceptional. I was especially impressed with the wide selection of toppings and their pizzas’ crust. Fat Albert’s has become a local favorite for a good reason, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, homemade pizza. A must-try for all pizza lovers!
