An easy five stars. Emmy Squared Pizza serves what is probably the best pizza to be had in Athens. It's really good. We started with the shaved Brussel Sprout salad. It's generously portioned, and it's more than enough for two. Pizza wise, we got the "Meatsiah" consisting of "signature cheese blend, crispy Ezzo pepperoni, house-made Italian sausage, thick-cut Nuke's bacon, [and] tender shaved ribeye." It was amazingly good and some of the best pizza I've had anywhere. I washed mine down with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia as one does. It's a stylish upscale place. Shout out to Piper who provided great, on the ball service. Cheers! read more

I had never heard of Emmy's until we stumbled upon it on and I am glad we did. Apparently, Emmy's is a chain, but a good chain serving mainly Detroit style pizza in a more fru-fru environment. We started off with the garlic cheese sticks which were perfect and came with a marinara that had a little kick. We then ordered a Meatsiah, which is not your standard meat lovers pizza. These are premium ingredients. Thick cut bacon, those little fancy pepperonis, sausage ( i am sure it's fancy too) and shaved sirloin steak. This pizza was delicious. I washed all of this down with a juicy IPA. read more

We had a really disappointing experience here and won't be returning. My husband ordered a burger without a bun and made a few simple modifications (no cheese, add bacon and onions). It came out fine, so he ordered a second one--only to have the manager come over after the order was placed to say they were "too busy" to accommodate those same modifications again. Apparently the server "shouldn't have allowed it." That's not just inconsistent, it's poor communication and puts the customer (and server) in an awkward spot for no reason. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich that was honestly one of the driest things I've ever tried to eat. I could barely get through two bites. The fries that came with it left me with pretty bad indigestion later, which is unusual for me. Our daughters ordered pizza, which was fine--but it arrived about 30 minutes after our food, so we weren't even eating together as a family. We also ordered a bottle of prosecco that was barely chilled. We had to ask for an ice bucket just to make it drinkable. Between the food quality, inconsistent service, and overall experience, this was a miss across the board. read more

The good: The angel pizza was truly angelic. It looked like the photo online and tasted better than I predicted. I would definitely order that again. Another huge hit was the shaved brussel sprout salad. If you don't like brussel sprouts, you might change your mind after eating this. The combination of brussel sprouts with the cherries, blue cheese and miso dressing was the perfect combination I would never think to curate. The waffle fries were seasoned and good. The bad: The price is a little much. $18 for a salad without the protein is steep in my opinion. I paid $8 extra for grilled chicken that looked good but was dry, flavorless, and inedible. To be honest, had the chicken not been so terribly bad, and the prices were a little lower, 3/4 items were closer to 5/5. read more

Some important details. The food is really great, and if you're coming for the food, I highly recommend this place. The service, however, isn't great. It seems like a lot of college students working their first service jobs, so they're inexperienced and pretty disorganized. They were also out of so many drinks. Every time we ordered a drink, our waiter would come back and tell us they were out of it. The restaurant is also very loud. Everything echoes off the walls, and we were practically yelling across the table just to understand each other. Overall, if you want good food, definitely try it out! But considering the service, drink availability, and noise level, there's definitely room for improvement. read more

Really great pizza for special occasions. It has become a tradition to take people visiting from out of town and to celebrate big occasions. The MVP is hands down our favorite. read more

Delicious Chicago style pizza. Maybe the best gluten free crust I've ever had. We got a pineapple jalapeño pizza with vegan cheese and the chili pineapple sauce, and it was legitimately spicy and delicious. We also bought a mushroom, green olives basil pizza with the traditional tomato sauce and it was savory and delicious. The service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance casual but with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! read more

I don't know how Detroit pizza got on my radar, but now that's it's here, it's here to stay. We stopped at Emmy Squared on our way out of town, based on a recommendation from our hotel concierge, and I am so glad we did. The restaurant was busy due to a large team in the front room, but that didn't put a dent in our service. Our son ordered wings, which he absolutely loved, and we split a pizza and the brussels sprouts salad. The salad was shaved brussels sprouts, house-pickled red onions, crunchy cashews, tangy blue cheese, and sweet dried cherries, married with a vibrant miso dressing. It was heavenly and there was not a bit left. We also just had a simple cheese pizza: the crust was crispy and light, the sauce flavorful and the cheese delicious. We ordered larger per our server's suggestion so we could take leftovers. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Everything is overpriced and the pizza is not that good. Service is alright, ambiance is alright

Despite being a chain, the pizza is always unbelievable. Anytime I have a chance to get this incredible Detroit style pizza, I do. The rest of the menu looks great as well, but I'm only there every once in a while and am dying for the pizza. read more

I made a reservation on February 8th for May 7th, specifically for my college graduation -- a once‑in‑a‑lifetime weekend that my family planned months around. And then, nine days before the reservation, I get a voicemail saying they "just caught" a mistake, that they double booked the restaurant, and they want to move my reservation... or offer me a free appetizer the next time I come in. Canceling a graduation weekend reservation isn't a minor oversight. It's a complete failure in planning, communication, and basic professionalism. My family booked flights, hotels, and built their entire schedule around this dinner. Trying to smooth it over with an appetizer is honestly insulting. There will never be a next visit. This was careless, disrespectful, and absolutely unacceptable. read more

Amazing vegan pizza and they have outdoor seating! Definitely a must for vegans in Athens.

Wow! The best Gluten Free Pizza I have ever had! Ordered the Hawaii Special and loved it. The crust is like Pizza Hits deep dish but way better. The 6 piece size was not finished by anyone as each slice is quite filling. The largest cheese sticks I have ever seen and the family loved them. The shredded Brussels salad was excellent but a little heavy on the dressing for my liking. Lastly, the brownie dessert was gobbled up quickly by the teens. Definitely recommend for the pizza. If you like white pizza, we ordered it Miranda style and the flavors melded perfectly. read more

Made a reservation for May graduation in February. The restaurant called 9 days before the reservation to tell me they double booked the restaurant and were canceling my reservation. The only offer to make this right was an appetizer on my next visit. There will never be a next visit! read more

This is honestly the best meal I've had in Athens. To start, the ambiance is so nice and this place has such a homey feel. The shareable Caesar salad was to die for and was one of the best Caesars I've had. The pizza, though. Just WOW! We had the MVP Add Pineapple and we ordered it without the spicy chili sauce because it's so obnoxiously spicy and the pizza was the best thing ever. Our server was also so kind and fast. I can't wait to come back. read more

We received pepperoni on what was supposed to be vegetarian pizza. :( thankfully our veg. guest had something else to eat.

We got the Caesar salad and gluten free pepperoni pizza. The Caesar salad you can probably skip on it was nothing special and had weird breadcrumbs for croutons. The gf pizza was AMAZING PLEASE GET IT. I can only imagine how good their normal pizza is. The sauce was sweet and robust, the pepperoni were mini and extremely crisp, and the crust was crispy and fluffy almost like a foccia bread. No notes. Will be back again. Najj was a great server! read more

I had no idea that Detroit pizza was this good. The crispy, cheesy edges are pure taste bud insanity. I can't get enough. The pepperoni with Jalepeno and hot honey is divine. read more

Foods is great and worker are amazing will come back anytime I'm in athens great for group event or a night out with the family just good vibes and experience for the family and also their dough is amazing read more

Very cute restaurant. This would be great for date night. Chicken wings - had a very unique flavor, however they didn't reheat well. Also, they were topped with peanuts so be careful ordering if you have a food allergy. Pizza was thick crust which we aren't used to but was delicious. My daughter loved the ranch dressing that game with the pizza, said it tasted fresh and was delicious. She's a ranch snob! The drinks...my husband loved the My Little Coconut. I on the other hand did not care for the Emotional Damage - nothing against the bartender, I had just never had passion fruit and decided I do not like passion fruit. If you want a sweet drink, I do not recommend ordering that one as it was very bitter (could be why it's named Emotional Damage). read more

A bit dissatisfied with the particular location. Ordered to go and our order came with no napkins or utensils to eat with. Additionally they offer no crushed red pepper or cheese to go. Kind of strange for a pizza place. The pizza was a bit raw in the center. :-( read more

Ordered to go. Not good. Rude waitress. Ignored spouse standing there for pickup. Pizza: meh.

Today we ate at Emmy Squared in Athens. We ate outside and it was fairly busy but not overwhelmingly so. It was a pleasant day to be outside and was crazy noisy inside. The service is slow. We had to go find our waitress to order and then again to pay which was a bit frustrating. The food came out reasonably fast. The garliccheese bread was good but a bit oily. The Detroit style pizza was very tasty. Wonderful crisp crust and generous toppings. We did not try the burgers but they looked really good and people seemed to be enjoying them. read more

My 3rd time here and somehow each time it gets better than before. I came in on a gameday and I was not expecting it to be so busy. I thought this place was a hidden gem lol. Upon coming in the inside wait was 1 hour/ 1 hour 30 minutes. Adelade, the host was amazing. She offered outside, togo, then the bar for faster seating. We opted for the bar and she made sure we were able to grab the next available seat. At the bar we had Najja and Kahri, who served us! Kahri helped us decide on what entree as we kept going between 2 pizzas. Najia was constantly refilling my water as I was dehydrated from the game. Never once did she complete and was attentive. While having to bartend. Even though they were busy the staff was amazing. Really attentive and helpful. I'll definitely be back for another visit. If you plan to go during a busy time such as a game-day they do take reservations. It would allow you to have your preferred seating. Thank you to the team tonight for all your great service. read more

Food was awesome and our server was attentive and helpful! But the only complaint was the noise volume. I wonder if they added something to the walls to mute the echoes.

Solo dining for the night and this was a great choice. I sat at the bar around 5pm. The place was pretty empty. 4.4 overall. The good: service at the bar was excellent, although i was only one there. I ordered 3 pies to try a variety and bring some home. They were all good but the classic could have used more cheese and the colony was a little sweet for me but the pizza was a 7.2/10 and vip the best out of the lot. Ambiance was nice, bathrooms clean. The few challenges: you're paying for the rent a little in the prices, and the cocktails were expensive for well tequila and 4-5oz of actual liquid. Stick with wine. No beer taps. No obvious parking. Bar seats uncomfortable. I would definitely return when I'm back in the area with family, but i would be selective with timing to avoid the college crowd. read more

I love pizza and this is the best pizza I have ever had! We had the cheese pizza and the Hawaiian pineapple with pepperoni, Canadian bacon and a hot sauce. Every bite was delicious. The cucumbers marinated in soy sauce, had a bit of a spicy bite to it. Don't miss those. We also shared a Caesar salad with two different kinds of dressing. We had the Caesar dressing and their champagne vinaigrette. Again, I have never had salad dressing as good as those. I wish they would bottle the stuff. I actually took two salad dressings home. I can't say enough good things about this pizza. I felt like I was having a gourmet meal. read more

Great meal! We got in to ATL late and were very happy to find Emmy Squared open until 11pm. We were seated quickly and ordered lemon pepper wings, a burger with waffle fries, and a pizza for 3 of us. We ended up having a little bit of leftover pizza. The place is cute and lively and I'm sure it gets busy during peak times. I would be happy to visit again! read more
