2 years later and still the BEST!!! Y'all stop in and make your mouth happy!! As a food professional I tend to be excessively critical. Your mouth will be happy and your tummy full!!!! Not only do they shred their own MOZZ but their bread is crispy fresh!!!! EXCELLENT sauce(gravy), not bitter but just right. Pies, sandwiches, stromboli just like you would find in the "North". Us Southerners do fried chicken well, pizza is not our thing! To add to this the establishment is SPOTLESS! There are properly trained and certified personnel on hand to guarantee a safe food serve. We met the owner Jay and the manger Judy this evening and it was our pleasure! Very friendly staff. Constant business at the counter and deliveries flying out the door. They don't miss a beat. Do yourself a favor and dine local at Fat Daddys. Absolutely the best!

We were on our way home from Carolina Beach and wanted some coffee so we grabbed that first which happened to be directly next door. We also hadn't had anything to eat yet so we decided to grab two slices and I'm sooo glad we did. The pizza was very good and those of you that live locally, you are very lucky to have this place in your hometown!

I’m from New Jersey/New York area and haven’t been able to find any pizzeria anywhere in NC that’s comparable until I went to Fat Daddy’s .... The pizza puts some Nee York places a run for their money!! It’s worth the trip .. crust is the best like Brooklyn! Glad I found it

I stopped by on Saturday after my kids soccer game and I was not disappointed. The service was great, the employees there were awesome. My kids and I enjoyed the pizza very much!

First timer here at Fat Daddy's! Took advantage of the daily special which is 2 slices of pizza and a drink for 6. Came in at noon-ish on a Friday and had zero wait! There are a couple of tables outside if you prefer. Pizza was crispy and thin - loved it!

I came in last night with my hands already full holding my baby, the young gentleman offered to help bring my pizzas out to my car. 1. I’ve had nothing but excellent customer service from them. 2. That was an extremely kind act and was very much appreciated! Oh plus the food is *chefs kiss*

Excellent, small-town service and delicious gluten free pizza! I was promptly greeted by a friendly Fat Daddy’s team member who guided me to the menu so I can take a look at their GF options. I ordered the White Pizza (more on this below!). She then made a a big note that she would put in big letters “gluten allergy” to avoid cross contamination. I really appreciate food service staff who take this level of effort! This also shows me that the leadership take this seriously as well. Way to go! The white pizza... yall... lord. Have. Mercy. SOOOO good!!!! It wasn’t the typical white pizza (which is mostly ricotta) - this is garlic-lovers heaven! The garlic wasn’t overwhelming though - it was pronounced yet sweet and balanced well with the other spices and cheese. I can’t wait to go back to try more GF options!
