An easy five stars. Emmy Squared Pizza serves what is probably the best pizza to be had in Athens…read more It's really good. We started with the shaved Brussel Sprout salad. It's generously portioned, and it's more than enough for two. Pizza wise, we got the "Meatsiah" consisting of "signature cheese blend, crispy Ezzo pepperoni, house-made Italian sausage, thick-cut Nuke's bacon, [and] tender shaved ribeye." It was amazingly good and some of the best pizza I've had anywhere. I washed mine down with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia as one does. It's a stylish upscale place. Shout out to Piper who provided great, on the ball service. Cheers!

We had a really disappointing experience here and won't be returning…read more My husband ordered a burger without a bun and made a few simple modifications (no cheese, add bacon and onions). It came out fine, so he ordered a second one--only to have the manager come over after the order was placed to say they were "too busy" to accommodate those same modifications again. Apparently the server "shouldn't have allowed it." That's not just inconsistent, it's poor communication and puts the customer (and server) in an awkward spot for no reason. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich that was honestly one of the driest things I've ever tried to eat. I could barely get through two bites. The fries that came with it left me with pretty bad indigestion later, which is unusual for me. Our daughters ordered pizza, which was fine--but it arrived about 30 minutes after our food, so we weren't even eating together as a family. We also ordered a bottle of prosecco that was barely chilled. We had to ask for an ice bucket just to make it drinkable. Between the food quality, inconsistent service, and overall experience, this was a miss across the board.

I finally found what I was looking for in Monroe Pizzeria & Eatery. The service is impeccable, with our server checking in regularly. The atmosphere is friendly. We were there for lunch so not much of a drinking crowd. It might be louder in the evening. Now to the star of the show - the pizza. The crust is a little thicker than the traditional NY thin, more like Connecticut. But the taste was perfect. The sauce is bright with a good zing. And the toppings were *chef's kiss*. We had mushrooms, char and cup pepperoni, fresh ricotta, banana peppers and black olives. Absolutely delicious! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

My only complaints were that drinks are served in bottles and there were no dispensers of cheese and red pepper on the tables. A restaurant this nice should really have a soda fountain. When I asked for Parmesan cheese and pepper, they brought it quickly, but it was in little plastic cups. Those are little details but they distracted from the experience. My guess is that there is probably more takeout and delivery business than dine-in. I'd definitely go back though. The pizza and cheesy bread were both delicious, and the staff was extremely nice and friendly.

But.....their staff that I have encountered the last two days are the man reason I will remain loyal to them. The personableness and kindness I received the entire time I was there is what is missing in a lot of the world these days. They are two blocks from the hospital and I was going to stay the night with my grandmother. Both took the time to ask about her, talk about my situation, and make sure I felt like a friend before I left. I didn't place an order and wait for it to be handed to me. I was talked through a menu I was unfamiliar with. And I was treated like a human being. Can not wait to return.

We love to meet family and friends there, share good food, and eat outdoors in good weather. * Food :Best fresh ingredients. Large portions. Good price. Personnel: helpful, efficient Facility: The restaurant building has been here so long it's a classic, well-loved part of the community, on a busy corner outside the main Athens area. Not new, but well kept, clean, and cheerful. Not new, but well kept, with nicely spaced tables & booths inside. Both covered seating , and open seating outside. Family friendly. Outside has lovely old tall, tall cypress trees along the side. like you see in Italy. They have added new little cypress trees in pots in the front so you can see how the tall ones began. The adjacent parking lot is usually ample. Location: Although it is outside the busy main area of Athens, it's a quick drive and well worth the trip. It's near the state botanical garden if you want to enjoy another Athens treasure before or after you eat. * * The only complaint we have is the addition of loud music after the new management took over -it's worse inside, so you can have conversations more easily outside if the weather permits.

We had a large group (14 people) in this tiny venue that seats 30 and it was hot (no ac? idk, didn't ask). You order at the register and they deliver the food to your table. The wait/cashier staff were precious, so friendly and helpful. Substitutions, no problem.Totally above and beyond. Even the cooks thanked us for coming in. The food is wonderful. Everyone in our group loved their pastas, pizzas, and calzones. The portions are huge for a great price. All of the ladies and a few of the men took leftovers home. I personally had the eggplant parmigiana which came with bread/olive oil dip, salad, and a "side" of spaghetti that was at least 3x the average size. When I asked if I could have meat sauce instead of marinara the response was,"Of Course!" and not "There will be an up charge for that." Which is what I expected. I ordered a baked ziti to take home to my son. The sweet lady asked me what kind of dressing for the salad that comes with? I hesitated and told her "He isn't really a salad guy" so she offered to substitute some garlic knots instead. Score!!! Can't say enough good. All of us had a great experience.
