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.

This was my first visit, but my friend had been before and couldn't wait to bring me. Now I completely understand why. From the moment we pulled up, the valet parking set the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful experience. It's such a nice touch and instantly made the visit feel special. Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. Every bite was flavorful, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What made the experience even better was discovering the spa next door after brunch. We took a peek, and now we're already planning our next visit--a relaxing spa day followed by another amazing dinner. It's always exciting to find a place that feels like a little getaway without leaving home. If you're looking for great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, complimentary valet parking, and a sophisticated vibe right here in Athens, this spot deserves a visit. We left already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!

We originally had a 7:45 PM reservation, but showed up early hoping for a change. They were incredibly accommodating and got us seated immediately at 6:30 PM on the patio. It turned out to be the highlight of the night--we absolutely loved the atmosphere out there. Even for an early spring evening in Athens, the heaters were positioned perfectly and kept us comfortable the entire time. It's rare to find a spot that's this flexible and still executes at such a high level. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.
