Set in a dodgy suburban Sydney takeaway, the film follows psychotic pizzeria owner‑chef Bobo Gigliotti as he awaits his mail‑order refugee bride Lin Chow Bang.

Fat Pizza Plot Summary

What happens in Fat Pizza from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Canterbury-Bankstown sets the stage for a darkly comic caper that follows a frantic day in the lives of pizza deliverers and their chaotic associates. Pauly [Paul Fenech] arrives late at work to find a new delivery driver, Davo [Jabba], already on the scene, as his boss Bobo [John Boxer] has hired him. Pauly introduces the oddball hierarchy of their small operation: Bobo is a volatile, rule-bending manager who is secretly planning a marriage to Lin Chow Bang, a Vietnamese mail-order bride trying to sneak into the country. The workplace atmosphere is tense, and Pauly clumsily paints Bobo as a forty-year-old virgin living with his mother, a characterization that foreshadows the combustible mix of ambition, insecurity, and petty criminal schemes that fuels the film.
