The atmosphere and dishes are all authentic, The servers are extremely nice and very accommodating and the food is to die for though. I found some flavors that I did not expect, it was in fact very good once you got used to

We showed up at 6:00pm on Saturday evening with 6 people for a dinner reservation we made 9 days earlier. The restaurant could not find our reservation. Their reservation system is apparently not hi tech but very inefficient. It consists of writing phone number numbers on little scraps of paper and sticking them on a frame. The man who answered did not ask for a name. Doesn't seem like they care since the place was jumping with business.

Worst place to have pizza. Nothing special of the pizza and kept us in the dark for 45 mins, dining in. Never ever going back. They need to take some course on customer service

This is by far the best restaurant in Davis!!! The food is spectacular. My kids love the pizza. The amazing thing is that it is very affordable!! I highly recommend this place if you want to eat real Mediterranean cuisine and support a family business.

An amazing pizza place that is different from your typical pizza place. This pizza is the kind you can eat with a knife and a fork. The best way to describe the pizza is pie like. It's thick, decadent, and flavorful. We got the symposium pizza and paros island and both were absolutely delicious. If you are looking for a change of pace from your normal pizza or are just looking to treat yourself, I highly recommend this place!

I thought the Milo's Pizza was awesome but both my colleagues who go there more frequently thought it was over cooked. The house salad was a hit! They unfortunately ran out of both of their offerings of imported beer from Greece. It was hard to compete for the attention of the server because there was a 20 person party which spread his time (he tried to keep up).. This place is solid but it was just an off night...I will be back because the pizza is great and unique.Parking: Ample and convenient parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible especially on nights where you can enjoy the outside area.

The service was good but the food is definetly not worth the price. I haven't tried the pizza but it seems like that is popular so I would stick to trying one of those if anything. When I dined in, I got the eggplant mousaka and it wasnt restaurant quality, more like something you would get if you went to someones house. Not bad, not amazing, definetly not worth 20 dollars. I really liked the salad it came with though! I took something to go for my husband and he didn't like it so I asked if I could get something else. They had said it's not their fault he didn't like it but they would give me something of the same price or less so I tried to go with some appetizers to be safe and those also weren't amazing. I wish I tried the pizza!

I love Symposium, they have a great lunch special also. It feels like a real family place, the pizza is good, the souvlaki is great. The servers are very nice and friendly.

The pizzas we ordered were all delicious. They are not smothered in tomato sauce so all the flavors of the toppings and seasonings come through. The crusts are crisped with olive oil on the outside and light and slightly chewy on the inside. The “small” salads were very good and generously sized; two were more than three of us could eat. We sat outside on the large shaded patio. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and food arrived quickly. Great restaurant!

My family gets take-out pizza here every couple weeks and has dined in a handful of times over the last 10 years. Their pizza is awesome, very easily the best in Davis, and a great value. The entrees and apps are good, but to us the stand-out has always been the pizza. The restaurant decor and kitchen ventilation system badly need to be renovated, but to get around that, we just get take out.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options, but no vegan options.

Stopped by after a kids soccer game - we got a pizza and it was outstanding- my son said that it was “the best pizza he’s ever tasted”, while that may be due to how hungry he was, I agree that the pizza is great- especially the crust, crunchy and tasty.The service was friendly- I will come back here when I visit the area next time.

It has been about 2 months ago that I tried this pizza place for the first time. I forgot what I ordered, but I ordered 3 of their specialty pizzas. Brought them home and found all a bit undercooked to my liking. Well read on my fellow pizza lovers, as this was my day of enlightenment.What I did might shock some people, but I took a few of the pizzas and coated the underside with some olive oil, not much, and fried them in the skillet. It was like heaven opening up a new sensation that I have never experienced before. It was the best pizza that I have ever eaten.And if you like left over pizza, then you will be in ecstasy when you have this pizza the next day.Love love love this pizza. Too bad they don't open sooner but this is trifle, and besides, you cannot apease every person with every little thing.
