There’s something special happening on the east side of Bend, Oregon. It’s not another brewery or food cart pod—it’s pizza. But this isn’t your average slice. Fat Tony’s Pizzeria is turning out bold, nostalgic pies that taste like they’ve been perfected over generations.

Fat Tony’s opened its doors in early 2025, and it already feels like a local favorite. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the smell of roasted garlic, bubbling cheese, and dough that’s clearly been treated with respect. The space itself is warm and unfussy—just like the food. No gimmicks, no pretentious toppings—just pure, well-executed comfort.

The pizza? Thick-crusted, square-cut, and perfectly blistered on the edges. A proper grandma-style pie. One slice in, and you’ll understand why locals are calling it some of the best in Bend.

Whether it’s a white pie with creamy garlic sauce, ricotta, and chili oil, or a classic red sauce number loaded with pepperoni that curls up into crispy little cups, every pizza feels like the product of someone who genuinely cares about dough.

Of course, the menu doesn’t stop at pizza. Their creamy chicken fettuccine has earned a following of its own, and their Caesar salad arrives with whole romaine leaves and thick, anchovy-kissed dressing. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite to say, “Okay, wait—how is this this good?”

And if you needed one more reason to drop in, let it be the garlic parmesan wings. These aren’t your average wings—they’re golden, crispy, and tossed in a rich, buttery garlic parm coating that clings to every bite. Even better? Every Sunday and Monday, you can add an order of wings to your pizza for just 50 cents each. It’s the kind of deal that feels illegal in 2025, but trust us—it’s very real, and very worth it.

And it’s not just the pizza getting all the praise. The team at Fat Tony’s has clearly put thought into every item on the menu. One five-star Google review says it best:
“Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in Bend. The pizza is phenomenal, the crust is next-level, and the Caesar salad? I don’t know how they made lettuce taste that good. I’m telling everyone I know about this place.” – Brittany P.

That’s the energy at Fat Tony’s. It’s a come-as-you-are spot with big flavor and even bigger heart. The staff is friendly in a way that feels genuine, like you’re being welcomed into something special. Whether you’re rolling in after a hike or dressed up for a low-key date night, you’ll fit right in—and probably leave planning your next visit before you’ve even hit the door.

And with summer around the corner, the outdoor seating is the cherry on top. Under wide, shaded sails and glowing string lights, the patio has the kind of relaxed, breezy atmosphere that makes you want to linger over one more drink, one more slice, and maybe one more laugh with friends. It's the perfect spot to soak up a Central Oregon evening.
