    Chicken Oregano
    Wendy C.

    This was the first time I've ever been here, I'm mad at myself actually because prior to going, i already knew that i wanted moussaka, cos i love it, and then when confronted with the menu, i order Chicken Parmesan, then mentally kick myself, as i had vowed to get the moussaka. We were greeted warmly, and it seemed empty when we got there (early, around 5) but i cannot be allowed to reach the Hangry stage, because things get ugly. We were taken to a booth, and our server brought waters. Actually pretty small glasses of water, and in fact these are the smallest glasses of water i've seen in a restaurant. As this was my choice of beverage, i was limiting myself, because no carafe or pitcher of water for refills was brought to the table. Nor did the server refill the glass. I don't like that. We ordered - Chicken Parmesan for me, and Chicken Oregano for him. Like i say, i was kicking myself that i forgot about the moussaka. Sometimes, i love that restaurants are quite fusion with their food choices, and other times, i think it can muddle the flavours. We both opted for the soup that was an option, a chicken, lemon and rice Mediterranean soup. A cup of soup was brought out, spoons, and a basket of delicious looking herbed garlic bread. As we'd arrived early, there was no silverware or napkins on the tables yet, so i had to request napkins. I've mentioned before that i really hate cold, or lukewarm food, well this soup was boiling hot, too hot to eat without blowing on it, so we dipped the delicious herby garlic bread, and then ate it whilst blowing on the spoon. It tasted really good and creamy, i liked it a lot, and i prefer too hot than too cold. For our entree, we both believed the marinara sauce tasted of clove, which is not something I'd have expected. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm mixing clove up with something else. Possibly fresh basil? Anyway, the spaghetti on my dish was perfectly Al dente, the chicken Parmesan lovely and cheesy, however the chicken was a tad on the drier side. Not massively so, it wasn't inedible, but i didn't eat it all. His potatoes were like an English "chip" (what Americans call french fries) and i had some of those, i felt they were a little wet, as they'd been sitting in the marinara sauce, but still, it didn't stop me eating them. Neither of us finished our meal, nor did we take home leftovers, of which there were plenty. Maybe i just had higher expectations, as this has 4 and a half stars, and i did see loyal customers coming in and being treated very warmly, almost like family, and asking for their usual table. I'd definitely come again though, as I've really got to try the moussaka.

    This was our first time eating at Pizza Olympia and we've found a new family favorite. The seafood fettuccine was delicious and the clams were hearty. The pizza, as my son put it, was the best he's had since we moved here.

    Lovely food lovely family, been coming here for years and can never get enough. Service is like being treated like family and it's just so peaceful. Truly a wonderful gem of anchorage alaska.

    Moussaka with garlic bread!

    I came here for my lunch break the other day since it has been two years from my last visit and was craving some Greek food. Pizza Olympia is a longtime Spenard institution that is located between Northern Lights and Benson across from the former REI location and next door to the Buckaroo Club. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by one of the owners who quickly seated me at a booth. After going through the menu for a couple of minutes, I decided to settle on the Moussaka (fried eggplant, potatoes, seasoned ground beef, zucchini topped with Besamel sauce and plenty of melted cheese). This has been a customer favorite for many years and I still remember the family owners advertising this dish from their old commercials back in the 1980's. I was given a basket of complimentary garlic bread to munch on while waiting. The wait was a little longer than I would have liked especially with the limited time I had on my break. My order arrived about 20 minutes before my lunch break was scheduled to end. I made the best out of the situation and tried to finish it as best I could. The Moussaka was delicious with plenty of melted cheese and ground beef to complement the eggplant and the zucchini blended with the Besamel sauce. What happened next was the reason I decided to go with four stars for this updated review, the owner noticed how long I was waiting and she surprised me with a free loaf of seasoned Greek bread. She explained her husband made these loaves every year during the holidays. This was such a nice gesture on her part and one that would ensure me to come back here for a dinner with family and friends in the near future. This kind of warmth and sincerity from the owners is why Pizza Olympia has been going strong for such a long time as many businesses have come and gone through the years in the surrounding area.

    All I can say is get the gyro with lamb. It has to be the best in town by far. It takes a minute to cook but we'll worth the wait.

The pizza was hands down one of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked with fresh, high-quality ingredients and amazing flavor in every bite. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The beer selection was just as impressive, with plenty of great options that paired perfectly with the pizza. Whether you're a craft beer lover or just looking to enjoy a cold drink with your meal, you won't be disappointed. What really made this visit special was the customer service. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to make sure we had a great experience. It's rare to find service this outstanding these days. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting--perfect for a casual dinner with friends or family. As a bonus, they even have a fun little souvenir corner where you can pick up shirts, hats, stickers, and other keepsakes to remember your visit. This is much more than just a pizza place--it's an experience. Amazing food, fantastic beer, outstanding customer service, and a great environment. I can't wait to come back, and I'll definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know!
