Athens Pizzeria

We just moved to the Westpark area a couple of months ago. My fiancé is from around the area and she told me we had to get Athens as our first Westpark pizza dinner. I have to say that I am going to have a love hate relationship with this place. My waistline is going to hate me as I live in about a 5 minute walk to the shop but my taste buds are going to be in love for as long as we live here.
The first night we ordered, we got a «large» Double Double (extra cheese, extra pepperoni) and an order of the garlic parmesan wings. The pizza is literally exactly how I want a pizza. The crust is crispy and chewy in true «pan style», the sauce is not over powering and the cheese (even on a normally cheesed) is perfect. The toppings are fresh and plentiful. The wings were good but not great. It’s nice that they offer more than just pizza and have salads, appetizers (cheesy bread is small but delicious), Italian dinners and sandwiches.
My only gripe is they aren’t open on Sundays. We have probably ordered Athens every other week since we moved in. The shop itself is kind of an eyesore but the staff working is friendly and they always deliver a good pie. Bravo!

I stopped in for lunch before a flight out. I tried the chicken parm sandwich and cheese pizza. Both were good but nothing special. Very good prices though.

They have a decent midwestern pizza. Nothing life changing… Good crust, fresh toppings, and very light sauce (maybe too light). The place was clean and the staff was friendly.

This is our new favorite pizza place. The place offers a lot more than just pizza. There is fish, shrimp and pastas. So far we haven’t had anything we haven’t like. Delivery is quick and the food is still warm.

Athens makes great pizza, Stromboli and subs. Their sauce is to die for, the dough is great. My favorite is for sure their Stromboli. There is plenty of cheese and filling, the dough is thin, but not too thin, and the dipping sauce is amazing!!! Please try Athens and you won’t be disappointed.

They changed a lot recently. The last few times I had it, it was horrible and I loved this place. But they still have the best meatball subs in town that hasn’t changed.

Some may argue there is better pizza in West Park, but I disagree! Great value, great service and they earn their best pizza awards!

Great neighborhood pizza place if you live in the Kamms Corner location, can’t recommend them enough.

We live across the street and around the corner from Athens. We’ve been ordering from them for almost 17 years – since we moved into the neighborhood. They have great pizza – we’ve tried all of them, great sandwiches and salads too. They do great dinners – fish, shrimp, chicken parm, etc. They also have such friendly staff! From the counter staff to delivery, they are just so nice!
The folks at Athen’s truly are a part of this neighborhood! They care about the folks who live here and what goes on. Thank you!

Very good pizza, especially for the price. Don’t plan on eating at the place as there is no seating. Very good menu as well, lots of options. Wish I had a place like this at home.

This is the BEST Pizza in the west park area, and the Greek salad Wow fantastic ! I’m so glad you are on my way home from work, you have done a great job, the pizza is so fresh salad too and the pizza sauce is out of this world good. Keep up the good work, I was not given a free coupon to post this. just thought I’d put this out there!

Excellent tasting pizza! I had some of their square cut pizza at a catered event, and it was truly great. Nice, thick ‘sicilian’ type slices, with aromatic tomato sauce and fresh tasting cheese. What more could you ask for?

You, Athens, are the best pizza in West Park. I did have to cheat on you and try all the other pizza in West Park, but now I know for sure, you are the best. I am ending any wandering ways. Every Friday pizza night from now on, its just you. (Now what is yet to be determined is if you have the best gyro, that is a close call, but you hold your own in this category too ;)

The drive from the airport to my house via Rocky River drive is interesting to say the least. Car rental area, projects, abandoned storefronts, and overall misery give way to a nicer old neighborhood once you cross Puritas. This unassuming pizza shop sits between there and Kamm’s Koroners. I am drawn to places with names like «Athens» or «Etruscan Emperor» as they offer some aura of Mediterranean splendor. It’s only a storefront pick up joint, so the décor is pretty plain. They do have some generic «starving artists» paintings of Greek villages and baseball trophies on display. Apparently, they beat the Indians a few times.
Pretty extensive menu for such a small place. I ordered the 8 cut «Athenian» pizza which is gyro themed (onion, tomato, white sauce). I left the meat out which makes me a hippie douche. They did include the yogurt sauce on the side. This was good for dipping the fried mushrooms in. I can’t replicate that gyro sauce at home to save my life. Love that stuff. Also got an order of cheesy breadsticks. Total was 20. All was filling, and the service was friendly.
I got to wait for my order sitting on my car while watching all the planes fly overhead to land at Hopkins. Not as close to the ground as that scene in Wayne’s World, but close enough to get a kick out of it.
