With large portions and delicious flavors, this is authentic Greek food. I had the lunch special for Thursday which was a Chicken Tetrazini and it was amazing! Service was fast and friendly, a real customer-first restaurant! I personally like the decorations, very Greek and clean. read more

Athens Pizza - Chicken Tetrazini - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Going to an event nearby, we decided to swing by for a quick dinner. We got seated right away, despite most tables being full already. Parking is easy since there is an entire lot shared with a few other stores nearby. We got there Spaghetti with meatballs, pastistio, and side salads. The pastistio was not as flavorful and a bit on the dry side. Meatballs weren't bad but the pasta was definitely cooked in large batches in advanced. Salads were okay. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. It was a casual and comfortable place. The food is a very Americanized Italian rendition but fairly priced. Staff were friendly despite being very busy. May come again and try their pizza next time. It was great to support a family own and run establishment. read more

This restaurant looks, feels, and tastes like it's stuck in the 90s, and not in an endearing way. The food was surprisingly bland. I eat a lot Greek/Mediterranean and this has to be the most Americanized version I've ever tasted. I should have known, as there wasn't a single person among the staff or in the kitchen that looked Greek and the manager was certainly South Asian. I find that quite odd, given that the entire premise of this restaurant is Greek Authenticity (see website). The only thing that felt slightly worth the money was the spinach pie and pizza. I really think they should just stick to serving pizza, honestly. The spinach pie was truly delicious, but the pizza was nothing to brag about. The crust tasted like standard white bread. I wasn't sure if it was handmade or previously frozen. I base pizza/crust ingredient quality on whether or not I experience heartburn after, and this led me straight to heartburn city :( They also gave us a spoon to serve the pizza with which was tacky and shows that this place cuts corners. Nothing else purchased (see pictures) was worth talking about. The only thing I remember about the side bread and side salad was that the oil they use for the base of the sauce tasted horrible and was overpowering. I couldn't finish it. The ambience felt like an IHOP (no shade to IHOP). It is barely clean. And it took such a long time just to get our drink orders. Our server was the manager and the service was just not good. I will say that there was mostly an older crowd in the restaurant, presumably people who've been regulars here since the restaurant opened and hopefully experienced better days. They seemed to enjoy it. I just don't see how else this place stays open, but I can see it being nostalgic for some people as it's been around for a long time. The food just isn't good for those looking for something... sophisticated. The pizza is the safest thing to order. read more

This food was very good! I visited this location for their Friday lunch special and it did not disappoint. It included two dishes that I've never had before, mousaka and pastitsio. I can honestly say they were very flavorful and tasty! It also included garlic bread and a big salad, all for $14. It was more than enough to last me multiple meals. The service was also very quick and the space was very clean. I will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

So very good. All the food was so delicious and great staff. I loved the lemon chicken soup and galaktbureka(sp?)

I'm so mad. I was hungry and had a penchant for pasta so I pulled into this place after seeing them out of the corner of my eye. Glass of sweet tea was dirty on the outside. Knife had food still stuck on it and the napkin my silverware was wrapped in. Greek salad had hair in it. Baked spaghetti didn't have enough marinara on it and she knew that when she handed it to me so she went back and grabbed some more. I was so hungry but I did want to eat any more hair. Ugh. read more

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Their eggplant parm is delicious. Tried the Mousaka And it was really good. They go above and beyond with service as well read more

Athens Pizza - Mousaka with extra wonderful thinly flaked spinach which they offered as a surprise. - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

We made a to-go order. They told us it would be ready in 20 minutes. Our gps said 21 minutes and by the time we parked and went inside they 7 more minutes. My partners hero wrap was good as was his side salad. My Greek salad with chicken no so good. Some of the lettuce had turned brown and there was a fair amount of water in the container. Very little feta cheese. The side salad actually had more and the dressing was mostly oil very little vinegar and seasoning. Again the side salad dressing was perfect. We come here fairly regularly so I was disgusted. Going to suggest I just got a bad salad. read more

I came here with my family as Athens pizza has traditionally been a great place to eat. The waitress was very nice and on point. Ambiance very casual with the greek and or mediterranean paintings on the wall . My chicken and potatoes were great but the green beans lacked flavour and were tasteless maybe needed spice? Also the waitress had too much perfume on some patrons like my aunt have heightened sensitivity to it. Anyway, all things considered still a good place to eat in Dekalb county. read more

My @diningoutatl Passbook is my go to method of trying New restaurants in the city and surrounding areas. Last night I tried @athenspizza for the first time and I can definitely see why it's a neighborhood favorite. @athenspizza clearly has a regular crowd. Each evening offers a different special. Monday was "Baked Spaghetti" ; which was ordered. I also wanted to try the Mediterranean Pizza and ordered a small 6in. The pizza was absolutely delicious and the crust was divine! The spaghetti contained mushrooms which I enjoyed but, if you don't like them you'll need to request for them to be omitted. Great food and friendly service! I'll definitely be back! read more

I was craving some good Athenian cooking so I paid a visit to the Athens Pizza restaurant on Clairmont Road near the Emory campus. Great parking and easy access to the restaurant. This is a family owned business which caters to the locals most of which are affiliated with Emory. There prices are very reasonable and the portions do not disappoint. Pizza is their specialty but I go for other Greek dishes. The restaurant is large with belly dancing accommodating a crowd when they have it. Call to see the days and hours. The menu includes plenty of choices for a do it yourself pizza, or you can opt for a pita wrap. their lamb and beef which is roasted on a tall skewer is juicy and tender. Love their tzatziki sauce. Service is always with a smile. This particular night I brought my food home. It was well packaged and what was hot could have been reheated in the aluminum lined to go box. But there was no need. The salad which comes with the meal as well as a piece of spanakopita, were both delicious. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon, because it was in the Dining Out Passbook for a BOGO deal. We got 14 inch pizza for $14 and 10 inch Athens Special pizza for $15. Pizza was good ne satisfying. Cheese pizza was a great deal. The only thing I wish the crust was a bit thinner read more

Excellent Athens Special pizza. Their sausage is different than other places and much better! We made a special trip over there last time in Atlanta, just because I used to love it there as a kid. read more

One of our favorite spots! This family-owned Greek-style pizza place reminds us of a restaurant we frequently visited years ago. We've been here several times, and the food is always consistent and delicious. The owners are hands-on and clearly care about both their staff and their customers -- you feel like family the moment you walk in. We highly recommend the salads, meatballs, gyro plate, and of course, the pizza! Everything is fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere has a laid-back, old-school charm that makes it feel like a true hidden gem. Can't go wrong here! read more

I can only speak for the takeout but I thought it was just okay, not really anything special. I got the chicken kabob platter and I thought that the pita was great but nothing else was that good. The chicken had an okay seasoning but was a little overcooked. I wanted fries and got Greek potatoes instead that had a good seasoning but was not what I ordered. The lettuce was just lettuce, nothing exciting, and not super fresh. I guess the pizza is better but I doubt I'll go back. read more

Athens Pizza - Chicken Kabob Platter - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Horrible customer service. When asked to check the contents of the bag the employee took the food items out of the bag and once it was confirmed everything was there he put the bag into another bag because now juice was leaking out and he put that bad into another upside down with a shitty look on his face and this was after a 10% tip. Nobody smiles there anymore. I don't think they will be open much longer. read more

Other than the waiter having a language barrier it was amazing. Food was great. Decided to get dessert after our meal. And the owner of manager made it all worth it. I purchased dessert for the table and he described every dessert they offered. Then he brought a complementary dessert. I grew up drinking milk with sweets so I ask did they serve it. They don't but he went to the back and got me a cup of milk on the house. read more

Hometown and childhood neighborhood family owned business and a true favorite. The Baker's Pride style stone ovens and the texture and rise on the Athens pizza dough hits my delight buttons! This is not NY style pizza, nor should it ever be. Flavorful thicker crust, topped with quality Greek style toppings. Love to get the shaved gyro beef and onions on every pie I order. The rest of the menu is well worth a visit. Baked Spaghetti being another favorite that can be carried home and eaten over the next day or so. Athen's Pizza is a tradition in my household. Service is friendly family diner style. read more

Horrible! Do not waste your money here. I ordered on a Saturday night, the food didn't come after an hour. I contacted the restaurant, they lied saying it was the "call center" and said that they couldn't fill my order after all, 4 pizzas, without a call to let me know. Just poor, poor ownership!! I hear the pizza is pretty bad anyway so I guess I should be happy. Dominos came to the rescue! Never again! read more

I've visited here before. The food is good. They have a gyro platter that comes with potatoes. It might be a option to get fries I'm not sure. This doesn't come with a drink neither. This meal is tasty though. You will have to see for yourself. They have a gyro pizza that's delicious. I had it previously will definitely get it again. read more

Athens Pizza - Gyro Platter. Gyro with potatoes - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

The store was cozy and the staff was friendly. You order at the counter and then they bring your food. It wasn't too crowded on a Saturday night since it's a more casual vibe. We tried a slice of pizza and it was okay. The crust was thicker and crispier. Then we got a gyro with falafel and that was great. It had a lot of sauce and the falafel seemed fresh. The fries had a good seasoning too. It was a good price for the food. I would Go back to try something else on the menu. read more

So, been coming here for years. Pizza is always good. Wish we could say the same for the Greek salad. The dressing has definitely changed for the worse. It seems to be all oil. No taste whatsoever. When did you change the recipe? S Marks read more

I ordered a 10-in pepperoni pizza and a small Greek salad for delivery . The pizza was very dry and the quality was not what I expected . The Greek salad ($6) was very small . Maybe five bites and whole salad was gone . Also I noticed they charged me a fee of $8 for tip and delivery. The restaurant is literally six blocks away from my home . It was bad weather and I did not want to venture out . Very disappointed in the quality of the food for what I paid . read more

My husband and I have been regular patrons of Athens Pizza and the quality has always been great! My husband swears they have the best pizza in Atlanta. His family on his mother's side is Greek and he says the food tastes very authentic. The pizza is deep dish style with a nice, flakey crust and delicious cheese topping. My favorite dish is the Chicken Tetrazini. We love to support family businesses, especially in big cities. Two of my grandchildren (Olivia & Margaret) live in the Decatur area and we often take them out to eat here. The restaurant is always very friendly toward them. The girls adore the pizza here! The restaurant is very large and plenty spacious. They have a lovely mural of Greece toward the back of the restaurant and nice Greek pillars to tie in the cuisine's culture. The seating is comfortable and they are very accommodating when my book club sometimes comes to eat there. Sometimes it seems they may be a little bit short of staff, but I know they do their best! I would recommend Athen's Pizza to anyone stopping in Decatur! read more

This is a traditional Mom and Pop restaurant with friendly service and big portions. It has been here for 40 years at least and you can tell the crowd are regulars. Young families, single older people were all here when we came here for a late lunch/early dinner on a Friday afternoon. Lunch specials on weekdays until 4 pm and they are surprisingly large portions in this day and age. I had the moussaka/pastitio combo lunch which comes with salad, a huge piece of spinach spanakopita salad and garlic bread. We ordered calamari as appetizer and pita bread because the kids like plain pita bread. My daughter got a hot sandwich, my son Ordered the dinner size portion of baked spaghetti which I swear has a hint of nutmeg, and husband got a gyro sandwich with potatoes. We got a piece of baklava for dessert which was huge and delicious. My husband and I ate leftovers for lunch the next day as it was so much food! The baked spaghetti comes with a Greek salad and garlic bread as well. They have outdoor seating on a new patio as well. Come support this local cafe! read more

The food was very good, however, the waitress got the orders wrong because she did not write anything down; she brought us two salads, although we only ordered one & she brought my friend the wrong appetizer. She also was not very attentive to our needs & never filled our water glasses. When we went to the register to check out, the gentleman not once smiled or asked if we enjoyed our meal. Don't think I'll be going back. read more

I have always had a good experience at Athens Pizza on Clairmont Road. Today, not so much. I was treating a friend to her 83rd birthday lunch. she chose the place.- we both have moved quite a ways from Athens Pizza. We ordered pizza, side salad an appetizer, sweet tea, and a Coke. The pizza was good but not hot. When I arrived back home and looked at the receipt closely, I realized I had been charged for for three drinks, although there were only two of us. ??? I've been a customer for over 30 years. read more

This spot is a staple for our family. Can't go wrong on a Sunday with the family. The service is stellar and the food is always delicious. I'm a huge fan of the pork souvlaki and the Greek chicken. Delicious and I'm Greek! You won't be disappointed with the quality or the prices. Superb. read more

The pizza is my favorite. I love the crust. Just wish they had Dr Pepper or Mr. Pibb.

A solid place for Greek staples. I particularly appreciate the relaxed, homey atmosphere. The price is good for the food you get. Service is good & quick as well. Would recommend! read more

First time eating at Athens Pizza. Started out with a Mythos Greek beer, which was very good. Greek salad was Really good as well. We ordered a medium Athens Special pizza which has pepperoni, ground beef, onion, green peppers, and sausage. The pizza was very good with the right amount of toppings. Sausage was nicely sliced rather than large chunks. The crust was thicker than I usually like but it was very good and surprisingly light. The service was great. I definitely will be back. read more

This place had an authentic Greek feel for sure: decor & staff. At 6 PM on a Monday, this place was pretty filled with older folks and families alike. Our friend, the hubs, and I all agreed to get the Mediterranean pizza which had feta cheese, some extra cheese (yum), gyro chunks, thin tomato slices, and black olives. The ingredients were fresh as the pizza came out piping hot. The olives made the pizza super salty though so watch out. I don't think I've ever had a Greek pizza, and this was different. I liked how it was almost without much sauce on a pretty thin pizza bed with a tad thicker crust. The hubs' work place have ordered from this place a couple of times, and he has always liked it. Having it fresh though, it was really good. For $21.50, we were able to consume about more than half of the pizza. So the 16" def can feed 3 adults with a few slices left over. My experience is right around a 3.5 so I'll round up as this is a pretty authentic Greek place. read more

Athens pizza has been a family favorite for the last few years. My family is Greek and this is the most authentic restaurant in the Decatur/Druid Hills area. However, the quality of customer service has significantly declined since we first started eating at Athens (even pre pandemic). I'm not one to complain about customer service unless it is consistent visit after visit. The staff seems uninterested to provide a great experience overall. In our most recent visit, after waiting for quite a while to begin with, the server told us she would only be taking our drink orders only and we had to wait to order food. We waited over 20 minutes just to get our orders in. I should mention it was a weeknight and there were just a few tables being served. However, the food is consistently good. Their gyros are delicious, the pizza reminds me of the Greek pizza restaurants I used to go to in New England. The crust is really flavorful and buttery, and the toppings are always fresh (and they don't skimp on the toppings). If you are willing to look past the customer service, then I would say this is the place for you. read more

Athens Pizza - Santorini Special Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Locally owned family restaurant serving Italian and Mediterranean favorites. So many items to choose from in their menu including some great salads I've never dined in but I have picked up and it's quite lovely inside. You can't tell it by driving by but they have a huge parking lot. I've ordered several times using the apps and they package their food well for delivery. Tonight I had their pizza, just check out my pic. It was packed with meat. I love onions too but had to order those extra. I hate to order extra toppings ... I know it's only a buck and some change more but typically you only get a few of those extra items. Not here! I got the perfect amount of onions... it's the small things!! read more
