    We had a party of 7 at 7:30 on a Friday night. There's very limited seating, but they have the option of getting it delivered or just bringing it over to Normal Bar, right next door. The table that opened up at Automatic wasn't big enough for all of us plus our pizza, so it worked out very well! We got 2 20" pizzas to split between 6 people. One person got the chicken parmesan sandwich that looked delicious. The pizzas were perfectly cooked and generously topped. We got mushrooms, olives, and pineapples on one of the pizzas (plus a couple slices with the Beyond sausage--the vegetarian in the group gave it a thumbs up). On the other pizza, we got pineapples and peppers. It's a cute local place with good pizza. Great for splitting between big groups. We stuffed ourselves and still had a slice leftover. Definitely recommend!

    This place gets 5 solid stars in my book. I love the old gas station building. The pizza was fabulous. Best I've had in a long time. They are over the top with the Covid precautions. This is my new favorite pizza place when I come to Athens.

    Good ol' slice of plain, cheese pizza

    I have made a decision. And that is that Automatic is officially my favorite pizza joint in Athens. Okay, there isn't a whole, whole lot of parking spaces (but I think that's just a problem that Normaltown has as a whole); there's maybe three spaces in front and three behind the restaurant. With that being said, I would suggest finding some street parking near the Health Sciences campus or near Ike and Jane's bakery (after their store hours of course). Right in the front of the restaurant are two red, rad, retro gas pumps. They're just soo cool in my opinion. I love how the owners of Automatic decided to keep some parts of the old gas station and have it embedded into their restaurant. As with parking, this place doesn't have the most seats inside. The whole entire place could probably sit no more than 20 people inside and 24 outside (if you were to fill all 4 outdoor benches with 6 people). BUT it does have some pretty delicious pizza. After you order, you're handed a little rubber dinosaur, mammal, fish-friend to take with you. After a couple of minutes, you'll trade it in for your food once the waiter comes by your table. (My favorite one is the Stegosaurus). You could either get pizza by the whole or by slice. Each slice is probably around $2-3 and you can add on a variety of toppings for a couple cents each. I usually don't spend more than $6 for two slices and a nice cold, Coke to wash it down. With all the times I have gone to Automatic, they've never been stingy with their toppings so you get your money's worth. But to be honest, I usually stick with plain, cheese pizza. It just has the perfect balance of gooey cheese, thin crust covered in sweet tomato sauce. Just three ingredients to create a masterpiece. Pizza might seem easy to make.. but oh goodness.. I've had some bad pizza in my lifetime, but Automatic has got their recipe down and I will be forever grateful. Moving along! They also sell other things such as calzones and salads. But neither calzones or salads are part of Automatic's name so I've just stuck with the pizza. I'm sure they're just as yummy though. I'll probably try them out one day. I shall see you very soon Automatic.

    Cheese Pizza with roasted chicken, mushrooms, and basil

    After Starland closed, I was sad that I wouldn't find a decent pizza place in Athens. I had been meaning to try Automatic and it's absolutely amazing. I got a cheese pizza with roasted chicken, mushrooms, and basils and it was perfectly crispy and tasty. Will definitely be returning. It kind of reminded me of a pizza place called Fellini's in Atlanta.

    Skip the pizza and go for the Italian sandwich. That's where Automatic really shines.

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 love to meet family and friends there, share good food, and eat outdoors in good weather. * Food :Best fresh ingredients. Large portions. Good price. 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.

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.
