Their medium buffalo sauce is delicious! We also enjoyed the chicken bacon ranch pizza. Our bartender was super personable and took great care of us! read more

Courtside Pizza - 10" four cheese. - Pizza Near Me - Athens, Ohio

I tried Courtside Pizza for the first time, tonight and I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered their Asian Ginger boneless wings and they were fantastic! They're some of the best boneless wings I've ever had. I ordered takeout so I can't speak on their service or the ambiance of the place. read more

The kitchen crew was amazing yesterday! Joe and Lucas were nothing but great during my visit. I plan on coming back because of their service! 10/10!! read more

This place is good! I've had a couple Pizza's but the sandwiches are noteworthy! Nice college bar/restaurant!

Twice now I've ordered from there and the pizza was not cut and half of the pizza didn't even have cheese or pepperoni.....just bread and sauce. The food tastes great but the consistency of quality of items varies to both extremes. read more

Sunday, April 25th, stopped in at Courtside Pizza in Athens, Ohio with hubby, daughter and son in-law for a late much needed lunch. We parked in their private parking lot and went inside. The young man approached and said we could sit where ever we wanted and some tables in the back. We went and found one near the windows to watch the pedestrians walk by. The waiter came and asked our drink order. We had to QR read the menu on our phones. Tony asked for PBR but he brought a Budweiser. I had Pepsi. We ordered Fiesty Bold Jalapeño Poppers with Ranch dipping sauce (very good) and a small Supreme Pizza. It was all very good. Tony asked for another PBR and showed him the menu had PBR, but they brought another Budweiser. Noel and Adam ordered a sandwich and 10 Garlic Wings and Poppers also like ours..food was good but they only brought 5 wings instead of 10. Waiter seemed a little scattered brain. Definitely would eat here again food was good, prices are okay, service was lacking. read more

Courtside's food is so underrated. I love the bbq boneless wings and the house salad! My server Will was so friendly and attentive during my time with my daughter on Sunday. I will so come back when I come to visit my daughter next time. read more

They tried to charged me $8 for a drink they charged my friend $4 for... do better wtf no where on court has drinks for $8

Patrick Demarco is such a considerate bartender. He truly cares about his customers. He goes the extra mile to take care of the regulars. I hope he gets a promotion and is around for a while. Patrick demarco might be my favorite bartender of all time. Great kid, hard worker. read more

Ever been to a place where you feel like you're coming home, even when you've never been there before? This is the place. Sure, I've listened to Big Smooth extol the virtues (and vices) of this storied watering hole from afar. But walking in, to bask in the glow of the youthful exuberance and burst capillaries made me feel like I was amidst greatness. As for the captured soldier who held the crown above the conquerer's head while whispering "All glory is fleeting" still rings true, Courtside proves you can go home again. Even if you just discovered this hallowed ground. Good happy hour, too. read more

Potato pizza is pretty unique. Layered potato slices baked w ranch bacon cheddar and jack cheeses. Side of sour cream. Darned delicious! Decent pitcher prices - Sunday evening is a chillax way to watch a game or groove to the beats spun by the bartender. He takes requests... our particular evening was 90s rap. Too.... cool. Food is great, especially when hot out of the oven. Delivery is decent as well. Nice patio! read more

Courtside Pizza - Potato pizza , bacon only on half - Pizza Near Me - Athens, Ohio

First time I have had Courtside in about 8 years and it did not disappoint. Best pizza in Athens by a wide margin. They have recently added some new pizza's to their menu. We tried the "Loaded Buffalo Chicken" which had chicken, buffalo sauce, bacon, cheddar cheese and red onion. A great improvement over the already good Buffalo Chicken pizza. The bacon/red onion give the pizza a nice crunch to compliment the chicken. Their pizza has always been known to be heavy on cheese with crunchy crust which has not changed. Very cheap although note the prices have went up a buck or 2 which was not indicated on the website. Even with that getting a large specialty pizza for under 15 dollars is a steal. read more

The bartender Eloise was an amazing girl!! She was so positive the whole time I was here. She poured me the best vodka water with a splash of cranberry I've ever had! Will be coming back to see her!! read more

Kicked me out for literally no reason. Said I spilled a drink out of managers hands. Not a drop on me. Don't ever go here terrible management read more

We were looking for Beer and pizza and that's not easy to find in Athens. Courtside did not have a very friendly atmosphere but the pizza was hot and the beer was cold. I think this is more of a nighttime place but it hit the spot. Pizza was average and prices were fair read more

This is easily my favorite pizza place in Athens. I first tried it because they offered free delivery and I haven't stopped ordering from them since! Their pizza always hits the spot and they run awesome deals. And their delivery is crazy fast. read more

TERRIBLE PORTIONS! I ordered pretzel bites for $6 and got exactly 5 small nibbles. I was extremely hungry and unsatisfied! Disappointed in courtside -- gonna stick with the pizza for sure :/ read more

Used to frequently come a couple times a month for pizza and cant tell you the last time I was here. Greasy and undercooked.

I had the best experience x12 with the bartenders named RJ and Perrine. They are wonderful, great customer service. Highly reccomend

I generally order delivery or pick-up from this place and the pizza is AMAZING, generous amounts of toppings and cheese, amazing sauce, and plenty of it. Excellent price, I believe you can get a large one topping for 7 bucks, delivered (less tip of course). They have slice night where cheese is a $1 a slice and pepperoni is $1.25 or $1.50 on Wednesday nights. If you eat in there is a full bar and pool table, however, be prepared as it is uptown Athens, and there are plenty of college kids to contend with! Good Food, Fast Service, Great Price, don't know what else to ask for here! read more

The pizza here is top notch. A large casual area decorated in a classic sports bar/ pizza shop theme allow plenty of space for large parties or a quick bite to eat. Plenty of HD screens show all your key sporting events. The pizza has a sweet sauce and the crust is thick, bready and sweet as well. Nice but small beer selection including Sam Adams vareities. read more

Diarrhea cha cha cha. We ordered 3 subs for lunch with drinks. One was soaked in salt. One was dry as a bone and the other was just meh. The bartender/waitress was nice enough but they needed more staff to handle the crowd. The beer was good. The food was terrible. read more

What more can I say expect, love. Courtside is a great atmosphere, time, and has a great bartending and waiting staff, not to mention the kitchen! One of my shining stars, Keely, is an attentive and approachable bartender making the service easy, breezy, beautiful, courtside. John is a secret pop that always gets the job done and makes. shit. happen. Grayson has one of the best ice throws in the game and brings the energy and music. Now to my girl boss, Rachel. Rachel is a manager at Courtside and keeps it all running with her badassness. Lenny is the flight and IPA expert that bring the noise. Anthony or as I call him, Tony, the door and security man is the powerhouse behind the whole operation. And finally, Ty. Ty is the king of the castle. Courtside is an amazing place and I'm just lucky to breathe the same air. read more

It was between 2-3 stars, so felt generous. Probably a straight forward cheese pizza would score higher. Ours had toppings on it, but they were sparse. Not a good value in our case. Good luck to everyone else. read more

Employee touched my butt then of course refused to admit that it happened when I called him out. While I'm telling him that he doesn't need to touch me in order to get behind the bar, other bartender interrupts me and demands my money. I tell him of what happene to me and he says he doesn't care and tells me I either need to leave or give him my money. This bar employs PREDATORS. read more

Absolutely love this spot! Austin and RJ are the best bartenders I know! RJ will keep you entertained with his good looks and whitty jokes as Austin serves up the best liquor drinks this side of the Mississippi! Elijah and Rachel are also fantastic to have serve you! Really can't go wrong with this bar! read more

Most people tend to overlook Courtside when discussing the best pizza in Athens. I do think Avalanche is better because it has a wider range of toppings and I think the ingredients used are of better quality. However, Courtside is great for more classic pizza and it's inexpensive. I've never been for slice night, which is a great deal. I've also never tried some of their more nontraditional signature pizzas, but I've heard good things. Service has been fast and fine. I usually don't want to listen to the roar of the bar crowd, so I usually get my pizza to go. Courtside is a good alternative to Avalanche and it's much better than our chain options in town. read more

Usually okay service and great pizza but often there is a little attitude on the phone. Also they just cancelled delivery orders because they are "behind and really busy" not so great for business. read more

I ordered a pizza roughly around 10, its midnight and it still has not arrived even though they told me it would take 45 minutes to make.

Called in a pizza back in October over homecoming weekend on a visit to Athens at about 11:15 PM or so. The pizza was over 20 dollars plus delivery, but always willing to pay that for a local pizza place. However, after an hour and a half, no sign of the pizza. Called the place, and they said that it was "probably out for delivery, but we are too busy to know for sure". Almost 2 and a half hours from the order time, our pizza showed up! It was room temperature at best. We called in to let Courtside know, and they said they were "too busy to do anything about it tonight" and to call back the next day. I called back the following day, and they told me to "call later on in the week when the manager is in". After one more failed attempt to reach the manager, I finally just gave up. This service really sucks, and I understand that they can without a doubt get away with it because of how much business they do, but they really just do not care. Two massive thumbs down from me. read more

So a few years ago we stopped to try a new pizza place to us. We instantly found a new favorite place to get pizza. For us this is what pizza should be. The crust is great and the sauce is amazing. The price is truly some of the lowest prices we have paid for pizza anywhere we go. Portions are good and we usually have a slice or 2 left. We drive almost an hour just to eat pizza. If there is a movie out we can also stop at the Athena Grand to watch a movie for great prices there as well! Now I want pizza, guess we are heading to Athens! read more

I'm from New York and everyone who's ever been there no were known for pizza I think they have the best pizza in Athens I've had pizza from almost every pizzeria in Athens in there about the best read more

I went here to get some drinks with my boyfriend and it was a total shit show. We bought two doubles which weren't even doubles and found a table. As I reached under to pull out a chair the whole table fell down. I told the bartender that their property was faulty and our drinks were spilled in the process. They didn't care about it and couldn't even remake our drinks which we paid 22 dollars for. I use to spend a lot of time here but now it just seems like the owner couldn't care less who he hires or puts in charge. read more

Fun college bar with good pizza and a favorite hangout for OU students, always go when visiting my daughter, patio is nice in good weather
