    Visiting from Atlanta and wanted to try this place. Was not disappointed Great atmosphere Great food Just a good time!

    Ahhhhh

    Old school Athens, hole in the wall sandwich and pizza shop that's been around for years. I always get thin crust pizza- its the best ever and if you get some jalapeños, be sure to be prepared for heat. In town for a visit, stopped by to grab a couple slices of my fav thin and crispy slices of pepperoni, black olive and mushroom and it was sooo good!! Huge slices, the whole pies are huge as well and price points are for college students. Affordable pizza, sandwiches, antipasto , cold beer, its all here. If you haven't tried it, come in and have a bite and see. Highly recommend!!

    Ordered pizza to go and it was so yummy! The staff was very nice and it was a cute little pizza joint. I think it'll take about 20-25~ mins for the pizza to be done after you place it! But it was hot n fresh

    Little Italy in Athans Georgia is a retro Italian sandwich shop with good sandwiches and pizza right in the heart of UGA. After doing a charity walk in the AM, I went to lunch with my best friend Melody (also a Yelper) and her family. We enjoyed a good lunch before heading back home. I am sure this place has many a student visiting this establishment for a quick bit t

    Super, large pizza slices. Customize by adding your own toppings. I added green peppers and onions. The veggies were plentiful and tasted so fresh. Busy place due to it's proximity to UGA. Cash price is lower than price for using plastic.

    The best pizza & subs in Athens!!! Hands down the freshest. Delicious subs with amazing bread. Bottle beer or pitcher, and it's open late......after the bars close. This place has been Athens downtown "go to spot" since it opened in 1997. Awesome customer service.

    Little Italy is a great place in downtown Athens across the street from South end of the the UGA campus. They serve hot and cold sandwiches, pizza by the slice and whole pies, and salads; think antipasto. There might be other items on the menu I don't recall. I got the Meatball Parm, which was quite good. You can order a 6 inch or a 12 inch sandwich. The 12 inch is big enough to share, and it's conveniently cut in half. Beer and soft drinks are offered. Pro tip: If you want something stronger after your meal, the quite excellent Road House is right next door. It opens at 2:00 p.m. A little bit late lunch followed by a stop at The Road House next door is where it's at if one is at liberty to do so. The service was friendly and prompt. I went there around 1:00 p.m., and it wasn't busy. At night, however, it gets packed with UGA kids when they are done drinking at one or more of the numerous bars in downtown Athens. The place is quite roomy with lots of tables and booths. As depicted in my pics, the love for the UGA Dawgs is strong here. It's a legit very reasonably priced pizzeria. Cheers!

    This is the one spot in Athens that genuinely has NY style pizza. I got 2 simple slices of thin slice cheese pizza and for the portion, the price was fair. The pizza was cooked to perfection and had just the right amounts of flavor. I also got a veggie sub which was SO good and filled with lots of veggies and cheese. Both meals were very filling and the service was quick and friendly! The atmosphere of the place has a very downtown diner vibe, but it's a good spot to come hangout with friends. If you're ever craving some greasy NY goodness, then this is your spot! Will be visiting again!

    The red sauce. Needs more flavor. It would be divine if it was a longed simmered Sunday sauce with onions, garlic, oregano, and basil.

    Nice by the slice joint; not the fastest but good quality. Plenty of booths to stretch out in and enjoy a beer. Or twelve.

But.....their staff that I have encountered the last two days are the man reason I will remain loyal to them. The personableness and kindness I received the entire time I was there is what is missing in a lot of the world these days. They are two blocks from the hospital and I was going to stay the night with my grandmother. Both took the time to ask about her, talk about my situation, and make sure I felt like a friend before I left. I didn't place an order and wait for it to be handed to me. I was talked through a menu I was unfamiliar with. And I was treated like a human being. Can not wait to return.

That's been true for as long as I can remember, because I grew up here and I'm pretty damn old. Automatic Pizza has to be on the high end of the Athens pizza quality scale, though. Enough so that, as I explain in most recent Yelp review I wrote, we'd drive halfway across Athens to pick up a pizza from here even though there was a neighborhood pizza joint just up our old street. Housed in an old corner gas station that has since served time as the Black Forest Bake Shop, among other things, Automatic goes for the New York style and does it better than most places outside of New York and the Northeast do it. Good sturdy, flavorful crust with zesty sauce, the large size (18 inches) is massive clown-shoe pizza that is totally foldable, the way I want to eat this style of pizza. The staff has always been friendly, too. Parking is a bit of an annoyance. There are like three parking spots, and the cross-streets don't have much in the way of street parking. Four-stars-plus.
