The best pizza in town....... The double double is our go to.... The carrot cake is amazing

Love their pizza and wings. Quality ingredients. Ordered several times and the food is consistently fabulous.

Service was great and punctual. Ambience doesn't really matter - choose either delivery or take-out. I ordered a small extra crispy deluxe pizza, hot wings, and cheesy garlic bread. They were all good, but more like a midnight beer run pizza after the bars. I'll definitely go back, but it's not my preferred style on any of the items I chose. Pizza's too thick and greasy, wings were watery, and marinara is not included with the garlic bread. read more

The double double pizza was delicious and the customer service was amazing. My new favorite pizza spot!

Wanted to try something new and Athens is in a convenient area. Placed an online pick up order. Very simple to navigate their website. When I arrive for pickup, the atmosphere was comfy and warm. But the FOOD. FIRE! So, I ordered a small half pepperoni, half mushroom xtra cheese. The dough isn't out of the world but it plays it role well as a collective slice. The cheese has a nice mild and savory flavor with a good saltiness. The cheese pull was SOO gooey. The acidity in the sauce helps break up the saltiness in the cheese and the flavors are truly in holy matrimony. As far as the toppings, the pepperoni was pepperoni but how they bake the mushrooms is great! They are canned mushrooms but they bake them enough where the mushrooms become a bit crisp. Very yummy. Altogether, each part of the pizza works harmoniously. A great place for decent pizza at a really good price. Will come back for sure read more

Since moving to the Kamms area, this has been my go-to pizza shop! Pizza is always delicious! Ps... never thought I'd like gyro meat on a pizza. Try it, it's not so bad! read more

We had delivery service to a hotel room that was quick and amazing. Pizza and wings were excellent. And the delivery was quick and the food was very warm. Was almost like sitting at the restaurant.. read more

I just recently ordered a Stromboli from there off of Uber eats and the portion for so much smaller then it was there was barely any toppings and get this you have to order it the way it comes you can't build your own anymore and to top it all off they didn't even give me no side of sauce what a disappointment I think they did it intentionally because I used the app instead of their delivery drivers I was a loyal customer for years but after this horrible experience I don't think they will be getting anymore of my money if you do order from them good luck and don't expect the sizes and toppings to be like they once were and hopefully they give you sauce to dip your Stromboli in SMH..... Former fan read more

Athens Pizzeria - The Stromboli without the sauce - Pizza Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

We just ordered tonight and was way too salty c wasn't expecting that at all never experienced this before so disappointing

I ordered salad, wings, calzones, and pizza, for a family gathering. I was a little nervous about such a big order. ATHENS did not disappoint! Next time I'm in town I'll repeat the same order.... Thanks read more

You could talk about the pizza, because sure, it's fantastic. But you know what doesn't get enough love? Meatballs Sometimes, I just place an order for their meatballs in sauce with cheese. Because they're the best ding dong meatballs in Ohio and they make me feel good. Like, real comfort food The meat is expertly seasoned and rolled, but not packed too tight. Tender, juicy, and swimming in perfect marinara sauce. Then they top the balls with a mountain of cheese and bake it into a biblically epic melty treasure. Grab a garlic bread and you've got lunch. So damn good read more

Fresh fresh fresh everything is delicious been going there for decades making pizza great again

I love this place. I am very picky about my pizza and their pizza is good. It is your average pizza shop but the quality and taste is top tier. The service great and I never have to wait too long for my order. I recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

We ordered 4 sheet pizzas for my daughter's first birthday! The staff was great to work with, we did give them two days notice and they had a ready at the agreed upon pickup time. But most importantly, everyone raved about the pizza and how delicious it was. There was no pizza leftover, it was a huge hit! Thank you, Athens!! read more

Solid pizza and pretty good wings (for a pizza joint)! Had numerous times and carve it. One of Cleveland 's best pizza places.

The owners at the Denison location were really nice ...prompt service and great pizza

The pizza is good, but the chicken wings are AMAZING!!! I really like the service as well.

Unbalanced. But I will go back again! Ordered the super deluxe. Too many meats overwhelmed the entire pizza. Lost any cheese & sauce flavor. I loved that all the meats were legit ingredients, no generic items. I ordered to add pineapple and they forgot it. No big deal- they added some on the side but it still changes the dimension of taste. Overall it was good but not a balanced taste. read more

I Love Athens!! Orders have all been accurate (which is super rare these days) and delivered earlier than expected. The pizza is delicious, try the bacon . The wings are the best I have had in a long time. Ask for them extra well done-nice and crispy. Cooked perfectly and an even mix of flats and drums. The teriyaki sauce is SO SO good. My boyfriend is literally more picky than a 5 year old and very particular about, well a lot of things. He says these are the best wings ever including the teriyaki sauce so do with that what you will. Good jalepeno poppers, nice and crispy. Easy online ordering system. To top it off the prices are extremely reasonable (yes even for the wings). This has become our new go-to pizza place. read more

We decided to try someplace different for a pizza since Angelos has gone a bit downhill lately, so we picked Athens. Ordered a simple sausage and onion. Got back home and opened the box and knew this was not going to be good. It looked overcooked, almost burnt. The pics I see here on yelp dont look anything like our pizza did. I saw no onions and tasted none as well. My girlfriend finally tasted an onion while almost finishing her second slice. The sausage was....I dunno, ground up? What happened to putting real sausages on pizza?? Either the sausage or sauce was way to spicy for our tastes. It shouldnt pain me to eat a pizza. Needless to say this is a one and done for us. There are so many better pizza options, like even the grocery store. read more

Ok, I am going to get right to the point with this review. This was the best pizza that I have had in a long time, by far. They stack the pie with toppings that are literally falling off of the pizza. I could not make up my mind what pizza I wanted so I decided to go with a small Athenian Pizza, and a small Pig Out Pizza. I must say that was a good choice because they were both delicious. The flavor, texture, consistency, amount of toppings... MMMMMMMM! WOOOOOOWWW! Some things to keep in mind for first timers is that they do not have a dine-in option. They only have carry out or delivery. For carry out orders, you can call your order ahead or make it only line, which will save you a lot of time. They have ample parking in front of the restaurant. And be sure to check and double check your order before you leave. I would have gave them 5 stars, but I did not get the fries I ordered and paid for with the pizza. I got a brown paper bag when I picked up my pizzas. I assumed the fries were in the bag. However, it ended up being the cumber sauces for my Athenian Pizza. read more

This is the best authentic pizza I have tasted in a very long time. This is definitely a place you want to try. I recommend it.

I have been intending to visit this acclaimed local favorite for quite some time after reading the rave reviews and seeing it profiled by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. So, after craving pizza all day I figured I'd give it a shot, and I wound up hitting a bullseye! After placing a carryout order over the phone, I arrived about 20 minutes later and my small cheese with mushrooms was ready! This pizza can best be described as simple, with a crust that is slightly crispy and bursting with flavor - nothing fancy or pretentious, just quintessential Cleveland pizza that screams quality! I wish I had tried this place sooner! read more

Athens pizza is my favorite go-to comfort food. Never had a poor experience in the last 20 years of enjoying their pizza! 2 locations in Cleveland- One on Denison & the other on Rocky River dr. Support local read more

When you order from Athens they do not skimp on the toppings ! Most places you say extra cheese because otherwise you know you'll be disappointed that isn't necessary when ordering from Athens, it won't be swimming in toppings but just right which brings the cost down to less than any other place with premium toppings around . read more

I like their pizza, garlic bread with cheese , Chix wings & meatballs. I just looked at their menu. I have never had anything from here I didn't like. Tenders - yum - poppers - yum - onion rings/mushrooms -yum . My one & only gripe is the size of the sausage on the pizza. Wish it was bigger pieces. The pizza here is that 70's style pies I grew up on. There are 6 pizza places 1.25 miles near/from my house. Athens wins out. I have not tried the pizza place in the old Uppercrust Pizza spot. You cannot go wrong at Athens Pizza for satisfying food. read more

Best pizza, stromboli and gyros on the West side of Cleveland! Athens has never messed up a single order! They deliver quickly and their food quality is phenomenal! I was always a fan of their pizza and stromboli, but those gyros-OUT OF THIS WORLD! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! Also... their desserts are DELISH! Try the cherry cheesecake or tiramisu! read more

Good food. Only wish they where open earlier throughout the week. But hey I can get my pizza fix on fridays early.

Best pizza in Westpark hands down. Never disappointed! Delivery is usually on par for a busy pizza shop. Great dinner option in certain days of the week besides pizza read more

First time ordering from here. Went to yelp to find the best pizza place on the west side and I think I found it! The hallmark of a good pizza is the crust and sauce. Both are out of this world at Athens. Ordered extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and onion and it was to die for. This pizza reminds of the pizza I had growing up from a local mom and pop shop before they cut corners. Well worth the 20-25 minute drive for me. read more

I was just looking through my reviews and can't figure out why I haven't told everyone about this great pizza place . I have been eating here about 21 years or more food is great . This is definitely one of top 3 pizza places on the west side . My number one pizza place ! They have another location the original on Dennison Ave. The one pizza place where there not afraid to put some anchovies on your pizza for those anchovies lovers . The owner is super nice and so is all the other staff . Clean orderly business . If you haven't tried check em out you will be a regular. read more

I love this pizza!! I have tired the food from the other pizza joints around the neighborhood and I haven't found any other that compares to Athens. I haven't been disappointed with any items I have ordered. This is my go to. The pizza is always delicious and hot and it doesn't matter if you pick up or have it delivered. read more

We had the meatballs w/ cheese app, Delux pizza and small mushroom pie. All were delicious. Lots of fresh toppings on the Delux. But the standout was the meatball side. Out of this world good! So glad we have this place a try ... knocked it out of the park! read more

For delivery pizza this is 5 stars. Pizza is great. Most important differentiator is that the wings are fried not baked in the pizza oven. I can't stress enough how critical this is. Wings well done with the sauce on the side is the way to go. read more

The Athenian pizza is wonderful and a fun way to do pizza. I've some of the other food before and it was just ok but have been coming for their Athenian pizza for years. read more
