    Pizza
    Michael K.

    Walk in at 10pm on a weekend and ended up getting a full pizza in 15 min. Nice collection of unique dips and a pizza type for everybody. Pizza looked great and tasted great! Although limited seating so be prepared to take the pizza with you.

    Wings w/ teriyaki sauce.

    We ordered online and delivery to our hotel was super fast. Most of it got eaten before I could get my camera out. The appetizer "the Veggie Lasagna w/ Béchamel" was absolutely delicious. I could have made a whole meal out of that. The wings were tasty but a I personally prefer them a bit more crispy. We also got a "Northface Salad" and it was very fresh and plentiful. Not that bagged lettuce some places dish out. The pizza was good as well and I would definitely feel comfortable recommending this place.

    The Great Steak and Potato Pie and Jalapeño Poppers

    The food was 10/10. Prolly best Jalapeño poppers I've ever had. Pizza was cooked perfectly. Only wish they had indoor seating.

    Large pizza with Vegan cheese, onions on half and a BBQ drizzle.

    They're always amazing at avalanche. The pizza is delicious, they have vegan options which is hard to come by in a small town, the staff is always super friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong with avalanche.

    Jalapeño poppers

    To say we were disappointed with our food from here is an understatement. The chicken on our BBQ chicken was dried out and over cooked, the crust on the Margherita pizza was also not the type of crust we ordered. I stood and watched them piece together people's orders by pulling items from the orders of those waiting to be picked up. We spent a good chunk of money on dinner to only have to come home and cook dinner to have something to eat. Only giving 2 stars because the staff were otherwise nice and had good communication on wait times.

    The I Once Was A Vegan Teenage Werewolf

    There's no competition for best pizza in Athens. Avalanche wins. In an avalanche. Easy when the rest of the competition is mostly chains. They also are known for their funny signs. Every pizza here has some kind of funny name. It's usually a movie reference or something from pop culture. There's one called the I Once Was A Vegan Teenage Werewolf. It's usually about $10 for a personal size. It's a bit more for a pizza than from a chain. That's okay because it's better pizza. The other thing they're famous for is the signs they put in the parking lot. It always has some funny reference. There's been something about Kim Jong Un, and zombies.

    14"  The Mount Kilauea Hawaiian

    Good pizza. Loved the cheesy bread with added bacon. Quick and fast will definitely order again if I'm visiting.

    14" Pizza

    This is a good pizzeria. I think they have good quality components. From my personal perspective I prefer a thin crust pizza which Avalanche doesn't offer. Thin crust is popular in the NYC area - I guess not so much in the Midwest.

    The Ney York Large Pep
    Michael B.

    People of Athens are you aware you have an 8 time yes 8 time pizza Champion in your town. I had NO idea when I pulled up looking for a sampling of pizza . That is what foodies do they try and get the most samplings they can in a short amount of time. I ordered the large New York.. People this is not your Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa John's Large this is New York Large.. yes it was very good also. Pepperoni was crisp with lots of cheese and a very flavorful crust. So roll in up to the little Avalanche corner and start trying the pizzas... so many to choose from start with the basic then work through the Championship Pies..

    A slice of pepp. Very tasty!!

    The pizza was different than your regular pizza and it was delicious. The jalapeño brews great as well.

    Between the quality ingredients, fun pizza names, and gluten free crust, this might be the best pizza place in the US!

    My new favorite pizza place! Great flavor combinations with so many toppings they are literally falling off your slice (hence the name).

    Went to Jackie O's tonight with a couple of friends for the first time. I ordered the Appalachian…read more It was fine, but nothing to write home about. We got cheese curds to start. One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

    This brew pub strikes a great balance between laid-back charm and quality offerings. The atmosphere…read moreis cozy and intimate, with dim lighting that adds warmth and character to the space. The wrap-around bar gives it a welcoming, communal feel--perfect for grabbing a seat solo or catching up with friends. The beer selection is limited, but what they do have is decent, albeit a little on the heavier side. It's the kind of place where you don't need a massive tap list--just a few good options done right. What really surprised me were the wings. Locally sourced and noticeably larger than your average bar wings, they were absolutely packed with flavor--easily some of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with the perfect amount of dry rub. Worth the visit for those alone. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food, good beer, and a neighborhood-pub kind of feel, this place delivers.
