Fat Olives
An Italian restaurant converted from an old garage; its hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas are considered by many locals to be Homer's best.
Located on Ohlson Lane in the old town, this restaurant was converted from an old garage. The open kitchen lets diners watch the chefs toss dough, and local artwork hangs on the walls. Its specialty is hand-tossed, hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizza, ranging from the classic spicy Italian salami to specialty pies made with fresh mozzarella. The Swine pizza gets high marks. The menu also includes meatball subs, steaks and seasonal local seafood, along with beer and wine. Reservations are not accepted. Summer dinners often involve a wait, and the atmosphere is lively. Expect to spend about $25–40 per person.
