Easy place to grab a nice lunch and enjoy outside. Order at the counter and they bring food out. I had salad and pizza and beer. They also sell bottles of wine and cocktails. Family friendly easy place to meet friends for a relaxed meal. read more

So happy we found this place! The pizzas are big single-serve size. Excellent crust, sauce and toppings. The salads are very fresh and not over-dressed. Also great dessert if you have room or you can take it home for later. Lots of outdoor seating with plenty of shade. Nice folks, pretty quick, and a good vibe. read more

With many options in Athens this should be your go to, especially if you can sit outside. My party all left pleased after ordering a pizza, a sub and pasta. The pesto pasta was perfect with a yummy side salad. The sub was filling and tasty and tv e pizza was perfection. On game days you should expect a line b it it's worth the wait. The dinnerware is my fav part of the experience!! (see photo) read more

Ted's Most Best - I used the love eating here. Today I got the veggie panini and it was awful. Very few veggies, all dried out and hard..so disappointing. - Pizza Near Me - Athens, Georgia

My husband and I came to Athens for the day to visit and there was an event (or audition?) going on at the Classic Center and the town was full of people everywhere. The restaurants were packed and the wait times were over an hour. We found this pizza place and there was only one couple in line ordering so we decided to eat here. After we ordered and got a table, I saw that the line had gotten longer. You order your food first, pay and then find a table and bring a number to your table. When the food is ready they bring it to your table. We ordered the LA CARNE PIZZA (sausage, prosciutto, sliced meatballs, pepperoni, smoked Gouda mix) for $12.95. It didn't take that long for the pizza to arrive. It was thin, crunch and hot yum! Their pizza was very good. I would eat here again when in Athens. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. Every time I go here, I order the pepperoni calzone. The portion is quite large and filling. The service is well and they're very friendly. I love how pretty it is at night. The ambiance of this restaurant is wonderful and so welcoming. I am very amused with my meal. You should definitely come here when in Athens! read more

Ted's is a good option in Athens on game day. Somewhat inconspicuous, we slipped in & ordered while flashier nearby spots had hour-long waits. We were eating within 10 minutes. I'd say it was at about 75% capacity. Good pizza & beer. Meat lovers, get the La Carne. Wife & daughter liked their veggie pizzas. They have eat-outside options if weather is nice, so we did. read more

Food was alright, but was served on paper plates. Don't know what's up with that but doesn't seem like a paper plates typa place.

Outdoor seating in the shade of umbrellas to enjoy minimal pizzas with the breezes in a very casual atmosphere. They also have some ok paninis and sliders. Food 3/5 Average flavor but very minimal toppings on small size pizzas -maybe ok for a child that isn't big on sauce, cheese, or toppings. Paninis ate as better choice. Limited menu but it's served Athens for years. Service 4/5 you order inside at the counter and they bring the food to you. but a late lunch is quick. They won't check on you once the food arrives and beverage refills are done by you. Location 5/5 Downtown Athens -close to stores and other restaurants. East walk from UGA old campus. Facility 5/5 for casual and family friendly and extra points for always having outdoor tables -before, during, and after Covid shutdowns read more

Food was fresh and yummy. Really enjoyed the fiorentine with the pecan pesto. The cheese calzone was a good choice too!

This was our first time there. You grab a menu and find your own table, then walk up to the counter to order when you're ready. The food was pretty good. I had the Fiorentine pizza and it had a great crust and flavor. My son had the meatball sub and really liked the meatballs. read more

An easy five stars based on my one and only visit to date. If you're going to name a place "Ted's Most Best," it better be great. It was. Ted's is located more less in the heart of downtown Athens right across the street from the 40 Watt Club. It's a great choice for dinner if you are seeing a show at the 40 Watt, which we were (Drive-by Truckers). The menu is extensive with lots of interesting choices. More or less all of it looked good to me. The drill is you order at the counter, they give you a number, and then bring your food to whatever table you might choose. There is lots of seating inside and out. It was a beautiful evening when we want and therefore chose the roomy outside patio. We both got pizza. The pizza's are all thin crust 10" pies, in other words personal sized, which is great. You don't have to negotiate with your dinning companion(s) about what kind of pizza to get. Lots of artisan pizza's are offered, but I, perhaps foolishly, chose the old stand by pepperoni with red onions added. It was very good, but I regret not ordering one of the fancier options. I won't make that mistake when I return to Athens next year. Booze wise it's beer and wine only. I washed my food down with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia as one does. Creature Comforts is a local Athens brewery that puts out some really, really good beers. The service was friendly and our food came out pretty fast, but it wasn't super busy. If you try this place, I bet you will like it. Cheers! read more

This is an awesome spot. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Decent beer selection on tap and in a can. They have a pretty decent menu selection. I got a traditional margarita pizza. Even tho it was fast service, the food was a lil cold. But definitely tasty. read more

The food is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Indoor and outdoor seating and fast friendly service! Appetizer meatballs, which are practically a meal on their own, and the marinara sauce was well, some of the best I've ever tasted. Half salad with house white vinaigrette dressing and a glass of pinot Noir. read more

Ted's Most Best - Appetizer meatballs, half salad and wine. - Pizza Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Great food at a great price. Location in downtown Athens can make parking tricky but well worth it.

Food was good, service was fast and outdoor seating was pleasant. Nice crust on their pizza and bread for my sandwich was also good. My husband had polpetti pizza and I had veggie panini without the cheese. My husband thought the draft beet selection was under par but they had a good variety of cans and bottles. read more

The food was mediocre at best, and the parking was awful. I had high hopes for it but was disappointed.

Pretty good casual place, would be much better if outside was warmer, but not their fault. The pesto pasta was lacking a lot of flavor but otherwise their salad and pizza were great and very customizable, lots of toppings. The service was extremely confusing though, order at the counter but they forgot to bring silverware and other things when mentioned they would bring it out. Would overall recommend however. read more

We had a team dinner there and it was easy to order at the bar and carry the food to a table. It is a very relaxed, laid back environment with lots of outdoor seating. The service was not the best but not negative either. I had the white rabbit pizza which has a yummy flavor combination. However, the crust is very thin and almost chip like consistency, very crunchy. I don't think I will necessarily go back because it didn't WOW me. Clocked across the street is a much better option for quick eats in downtown Athens. read more

I met my daughter for lunch between classes and wanted to bring our dog for her to see. Ted's had the perfect patio setting. They even have a water station and bowls available for the 4-legged friends. I had the Bacon and Egg Pizza. It is so unique, and I really enjoyed it. She had the Chicken Parmesan Panini which she also enjoyed. We tried the goat cheese appetizer. It was just ok. I felt like it needed some herbs or a drizzle of olive oil. I would definitely go back...their banana pudding cups looked delicious! read more

First time here tonight, food and service on point! OOOOHHHHHH those meatball sliders-A W E S O M E!!!! read more

I was a bit surprised to have this little Italian cafe right next to Athens breweries, and clearly I was not expecting this much delicacy on a regular football weekend. Seating - Little patio has a lot to offer, lovely and comfortable. We were lucky to have the sunshine outside. Salads- Pleasantly surprising, vegetables were amazingly fresh and the amount of salad dressings -presumably only olive oil and lemon- were in a great proportion. A meat-lover like me is amazed. Cheese-The best part. I was longing for a great goat cheese for a very long time and there it was. Sliders-We had slider sampler and caprese slider (2-3 sliders each plate). They were very filling, I'd recommend the caprese slider since the mozzarella was very fresh. Drink- Only had cava, which went great with the salads and sliders. The next time I will be on a mission to try the pizzas. read more

Made an order for pick up, when I got there they forgot to start it but gave me any free drink (whatever I wanted) & the wait was only about 5 minutes for chicken panini \ side salad combo. This sandwich was SO delicious & looked thoughtfully placed in the to-go box when opened. Everyone working seemed genuinely happy and very kind which made me feel seen for the few moments I was in! Definitely going back for their lunch special in the future. (Outside seating looks very nice ) read more

Ted and his pizza are the most best. Fresh delicious scrumptious pizza. It slaps. Try the desert too. Big fan of the banana pudding.

On a day trip to Athens, I asked one my sorority sisters to take me to an Athens staple! She recommended Ted's Most Best. It's in downtown Athens and parking is interesting. We went on Sunday and they had a happy hour special but it wasn't that great of a deal. You order food at a counter and it's open seating. That's not bad and considering it was a large group we had plenty of places to sit. We ordered meatballs as an appetizer and they were pretty good and came out fast. I ordered a calzone with pancetta and meatballs. I also ordered a small Caesar salad. The salad was great. Not over dressed. The calzone looked great and tasted great for the most part but the pancetta seemed raw. I thought since it was like Italian bacon it would be crispy but it was slime and messed up the texture of the calzone. I had to pull all the pancetta off. I also ordered a Swedish cider in Passion Fruit. This cider was way to sweet for my personal taste. Ted's didn't appear much different from any other small pizza spot but if I have an opportunity I would try a regular pizza instead. read more

Holy Ted's Most Best! Once you eat here you totally get the name - not enough superlatives to describe it!! First many thanks to the peeps at Creature Comforts or the recommendation! You apparently know beer and food too! First impression is a very indoor outdoor relaxed environment - total Asheville feel for you NC people. Just a great vibe. Daily drink /beer specials and ironically, I was able to have a couple of CC Automatic Pale Ales (freakin' delicious) when the brewery didn't even have any! The Big Island Pizza is where it's at - sliced pineapple, capicolla and jalapenos? Damn it's sooo good. The homemade calzones are incredible too - with a blend of bechamel, ricotta, mozzarella, you can't go wrong - just add some fresh toppings like spinach to turn up the volume even more. Really high quality stuff here - made to order - highly recommended!!! Make like a Nike swoosh and just do it... read more

Great pizza! Ordered while having beers at Creature Comforts. Pizza was ready right on time and ready for pickup.

Really enjoyed this spot for lunch! Got the meatball sliders and they were great- Great side salad with peppercinis & vinaigrette- read more

Great pizza, but could have included a few more toppings on the pizzas. Calzone was also very good.

Came here on a game day during the game, so it was pretty empty & our pizzas came out quick. It was my first time here & we got the fiorentina. It was DELICIOUS!! The 10" was the perfect size and I paired it with sweet water blue. I definitely recommend this place if you're ever in Athens! read more

Food is great. Service is speedy and the patio is a great place to relax on a nice day. Highly recommended.

This place is great. The pizza and meatballs are my favorite. The outdoor patio is so nice when the weather is warm.

The Pesto chicken sandwich was a little small but had great flavor. I got the sandwich with the artichoke heart side salad which came with the tomato based dressing that comes with it and it was very good! read more
