Their popular “Duo Switch Up” combo – any two sliders, fries, and a drink – offers exceptional value and variety for guests.

Fat Boy’s Pizza is known for its oversized slices and flavor-packed specialty pies including The Skinny, The Fat Boy Supreme, and The Ranch Hand. Available by the slice or whole pies in 12” (medium), 16” (large), 30” (giant) and gluten-free 10” sizes, their menu also features wings, salads, fries, Fat Boy’s signature dipping sauce, milkshakes, and chocolate chip cookie cakes.

Savvy Sliders and Fat Boy's Pizza are backed by Happy Group LLC., the same Michigan-based umbrella company that includes BurgerFi and Happy’s Pizza. This co-branded restaurant marks the first Fort Wayne area location for Savvy Sliders and the first Fat Boy’s Pizza in Indiana.

"It's great to be able to offer the Fort Wayne community the chance to experience both innovative brands," stated Mallory Hart, Operating Partner of Savvy Sliders and Fat Boy's Pizza. "By combining Savvy Sliders’ bold, elevated take on sliders with the craveable, oversized slice of Fat Boy’s Pizza, we’re delivering a culinary experience under one roof that’s fresh, fun, and completely unique to the region.”
