Olympia Pizza Review…read more
Some restaurants just have a special place in your heart, and Olympia Pizza is one of those places for me! I've been coming here since I was a kid, and one thing I can say is that the flavors have stayed consistent over the years. There's something comforting about returning to a place you've grown up eating at and knowing the food still tastes familiar.
For my most recent visit, I tried a few things, and here's my breakdown!
Mozzarella Sticks - 3/10
Honestly, these weren't my favorite. The flavor was extremely bland, and there wasn't anything particularly memorable about them. I mean, they're mozzarella sticks, so there's only so much you can expect, but I still feel like they could have used a little more flavor. Definitely wouldn't be my first choice when ordering again.
Olympia Pizza - 7/10
Now, THIS is what I came for! The Olympia Pizza is one of those things that keeps me coming back. As long as it's hot and fresh, it's GOOD! I ordered the thin crust, which I really enjoyed. I did request the pizza to be cut into squares, but unfortunately, they didn't cut it that way. However, I appreciated that they got the thin crust right because that made a difference in my experience.
The flavors are familiar, consistent, and exactly what I remember growing up eating here. Sometimes you don't need a restaurant to reinvent something that's already been working!
Wings - 8/10
Okay, I genuinely wasn't expecting to enjoy these as much as I did! The wings were crispy, flavorful, and surprisingly good. I thoroughly enjoyed them, and they ended up being one of my favorite things from this visit.
The only reason these aren't getting a 10/10 is the texture of the chicken itself. It tasted a little processed to me, and the bones in the drumettes seemed to break apart a little too easily. That took away from the overall quality I was expecting. Aside from that, I really enjoyed them!

Final Thoughts
Olympia Pizza is one of those childhood staples that I'll always have love for. I've been eating here since I was young, and the consistency of the flavors is something I genuinely appreciate. Not every item was a hit during my latest visit, but the pizza and wings definitely carried the experience.
Sometimes nostalgia plays a part, but sometimes the food really does hold up! Olympia Pizza still has a special place on my list, and I'll definitely be back.
