Easily the best pizza in southern Ohio. Very creative menu…read more We've had the super mushroom (my fave), the Philly, pepperoni, and the skeletonwitch (spicy). Their crust is phenomenal. Try the green chili jam!!! Service is fast. Only outdoor seating which with Ohio weather can be a pain. There's a speedway down a bit so order pizza then go grab drinks. By he time you get back - pizza done! They also have take & bake. We found it by accident first time then drive an hour back to have it again. It's that good. Full menu is not posted in the store so make sure you check the website.

As a college town, Athens has a plethora of pizza options. Avalanche stands out among this sea of…read moreslices. It leads for its creativity of combos, it leads for local sourcing of ingredients, it leads for its stall at the Saturday Farmer's Market with numerous bread options, and it leads for local ownership with deep commitment to investing in the community. The Super Mushrooms with diverse fresh mushroom types and ricotta and asiago cheese is always my go to even with lots of other tempting combos available in regular, gluten free, and cauliflower crust options in 10" and 14" size options. There is a table in the tiny parking lot for eating at the restaurant, but really this is for takeout or delivery. They do have NY Style and regular cheese and pepperoni slices available by the slice on walk in plus some to go salads and cannoli in the small pick up area.

Amazing food!…read more Dining al fresco! They do have a crazy thing where if they don't have a button for it, you can't order it. For example, you can have a root beer float but not a ginger beer float even though they have ginger beer. You can only get 4 things on your pizza, not 5. No substitutions on the specialty pizzas. Sometimes the service is amazing but sometimes not. Don't get there within half hour of closing because they want to be gone at closing time. Ambiance is beautiful!

Pros: Great outdoor shady seating…read moreWonderful service Get flights up to 30 Farm to table food Creative dishes that are so unique Cons: Non dairy option of pizza was only meh and kind of boring Ladies bathroom was out of order and the family bathroom was dirty and needed attention Pro tip: So many draft options you are bound to find one you love so be open to trying something new!

Grabbed some pizzas to go on a Friday night during a Beer Week festival. Downtown Athens was…read morejumping, as was Courtside. Very busy, but our pizzas were ready a little early. Credit to the folks in the back for their efforts. As for the pizzas themselves, they were pretty good, in general. Thoroughly enjoyed the Nashville Hot pizza, and the sausage on our BYO was quite tasty. Only complaint would be that they were a little doughy, and a few slices on the square cut BYO had no toppings on them. Overall, these were quality pies. Courtside wasn't around during my time here, so I'm jealous of the current students who get to enjoy solid pizza options.

Jackie O's Public House is great for a casual beer in exposed brick dark high tops kinda hang…read more Jackie O's beer is a stout pillar of the Athens brewing scene. But I write today to praise the Public House for its private party hosting. We just celebrated a big birthday for my wife with 40+ friends. Jackie O's uptown is central, everyone knows it, and it has history for so many of us. In my case going back to the 80s when it was still O'Hooley's and I'd meet my Dad there Friday afternoons after school when he and his colleagues would kick off the end of the work week. It still plays that role for many in this college town. But back to the private party. Chelsea was a pleasure to work with, entertaining all my questions about combinations from the catering menu, deciding on open bar with cocktails, without, just beer and wine, ticket system etc. All are options depending on your crowd and your budget. We went full open bar and mercifully our friends took it easy on us in the 6-8pm timeslot we reserved the whole place for. We went with a combo of meats, cheeses, fruit, veggies that you can get at a per person rate minimum 20. We then also go some of each of the five pizza options. We had leftovers but not a bad thing. For dessert, we had the option to bring in our own cake, but instead tried their chocolate and snickerdoodle parfaits that went down very well. It isn't something you do every month or every year. But it really worked for us for a big birthday and we've attended a number of great work networking receptions there as well. And finally, as many know, Art Oestrike the owner of Jackie O's is a leader in investing in community and sustainability, delivering a creative and quality product and experience whether that is in the three Athens locations or Jackie O's on Fourth in Columbus. A business and team worth supporting.

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.

The staff is funny and kind, and will even help you carry pizzas to your car if you ask them to. They have many drink options.

It might not be the neatest lobby you've ever seen, but it's a nice place to sit and eat your food. The workers leave you alone while you're eating, and you can sit for however long you want (unless they're closing obviously.) You can do your school work in here, paperwork, they don't mind.
