This has been my absolute favorite pizza place for at least 10 years...until tonight. Apparently…read morethey have changed their crust. Rather than the past thin, tender crust, it's now twice as thick (not their sicilian style) and is like a tough piece of bread with toppings. I'm so disappointed. I'll probably give them one more chance on the off-chance that tonight was a fluke. But then I may have to find a new local favorite.

The food is phenomenal and speaks for itself. Their subs are made with fresh ingredients and more…read morethan a meal for anyone. And the pizza is heavenly. 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.

Like most college towns (I suppose), Athens maxes out the quantity on pizza choices, but the…read morequality often lags behind. That's been true for as long as I can remember, because I grew up here and I'm pretty damn old. Automatic Pizza has to be on the high end of the Athens pizza quality scale, though. Enough so that, as I explain in most recent Yelp review I wrote, we'd drive halfway across Athens to pick up a pizza from here even though there was a neighborhood pizza joint just up our old street. Housed in an old corner gas station that has since served time as the Black Forest Bake Shop, among other things, Automatic goes for the New York style and does it better than most places outside of New York and the Northeast do it. Good sturdy, flavorful crust with zesty sauce, the large size (18 inches) is massive clown-shoe pizza that is totally foldable, the way I want to eat this style of pizza. The staff has always been friendly, too. Parking is a bit of an annoyance. There are like three parking spots, and the cross-streets don't have much in the way of street parking. Four-stars-plus.

I was hoping for a quick slice and a beer after a long flight and shuttle trip. I was NOT…read moredisappointed! I ordered one Sicilian and one Neapolitan slide and a draft Miller Lite while I watched the World Cup. Fast friendly service and two HUGE delicious slices! Fresh mushroom too. The vibe is true pizza joint and it delivers with good food, friendly service and plenty of space to enjoy.

In terms of value/price + convenience this is 4-5 stars, but in terms of actual flavor of the…read morepizza, a solid "3" ("Good" in my book). Old school booth dining, fast service, pay at the counter before you sit. Friendly crew working, prepping the pizza right in front of you. Buy it by the slice, thin or thick crust--I got a slice of each, very filling (esp that thick crust). $2 draft beer including craft--this is a beer/drinking/college town for sure, it seems. If I were 20 years younger in college I'd be a regular, as a tourist this was cool for a cheap quick dinner before a concert.

We visited Fully Loaded Pizza Company in Watkinsville with a large group of 15, and just a heads up…read morethey do have tip policy for big parties. Service was not great but not terrible. It was crowded so I expected some delays. We sat outside, enjoyed great conversation, and appreciated the relaxed atmosphere while we waited. Unfortunately, one of their ovens went down during our visit, so our food took longer than expected. The staff handled it as best they could, and once the food arrived, it was definitely worth the wait. Our group tried a little bit of everything--wings, the Parmigiana Chicken Hoagie, garlic knots, and several pizzas. Bonus: they had a gluten free pizza option. The Walter White pizza was absolutely incredible, packed with flavor, and The Meathead lived up to its name--fully loaded with meat and delicious. Despite the delay, the variety, quality, and overall vibe made it a solid experience. We'll be back!

We were in town to see our Athens family and they took us to Fully Loaded Pizza for lunch. This was…read moreour first time giving it a try and they gave us suggestions based on their previous experiences. Let me say right out the gate that we had great service from Faith. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day and she didn't miss a beat. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the FLP double patty burger and it was delicious. We also ordered fried mozzarella sticks and the grandkids approved of the cheese pull. We recommend you stop in and give them a try. Our experience was good service+good food= a good time.

OMG!! soooo good. i love Pizza. could eat it every single day.. was told about the 'squealers' and…read morelet me tell you, they were so good. very tasty. very fresh. very hot. they're like breadsticks but better. starting from the bread, which is focaccia, topped with garlic butter, cheese and bacon... simply AMAZING! and they give you marinara sauce, a plus. honestly, i've never had anything else from this place but these make me drive the 30 or so miles from house to get them.. Will definitely be back. and I want to try other menu items. The young lady that took my over the phone order was really sweet, very professional and courteous. My order was ready in less than 10 minutes, which was great bc i was flying thru.. lol and the place is centrally located in the heart of the town. The decor puts you in the mind of a nostalgic pizza shop from back in the day. There's a small eating area, which could be cute for a small family or date night. Everything was perfect and i do recommend stopping by if you're driving thru.

If Crawford Pizza were located in a more populated area with any competition, it might be a solid…read morefour-star spot. However, as one of only two restaurants in this town (not counting the convenience stores that sell hot food), Crawford Pizza earns five stars because they could easily take advantage of the limited dining options in town (and the area, for that matter, if you include Lexington)--but they don't. Instead, they deliver consistently good food and friendly service, which makes them stand out even more. But regardless of the context, Crawford Pizza truly shines. First and foremost, their pizzas ARE good--both the traditional crust piled with meats and the alternative cauliflower crust with veggies. Second, the service is always friendly and gracious--just the kind of welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for from a small-town pizza place. Their online ordering system makes it even easier to get exactly what you want, right when you're promised. We haven't tried the sandwiches yet, but if they're anything like the pizzas, we're sure they'll be just as enjoyable.
