Avalanche Pizza - Slice House

Delicious pizza by the slice. Generous slices, great ingredients, what's not to like?

Delicious slice of pizza and superior bake/flavor on the crust. Give it a try!

Best pizza in Athens area. If you like New York Style slices, you'll be especially pleased with the quality of the pizza here.

I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of Avalanche, and that is why I have avoided this place. I don't care about their college humor edginess, I'm not going to wear their hat around town, and I don't want any one of their twenty specialty pizzas if they can't make a basic pep pizza that isn't to my tastes doughy and bland. Pizza is pizza, and pizza is usually tasty, so take my critique with that in mind, and before this turns into an avalanche of Avalanche criticism, let's talk about Slice House.

They sell by the slice, and the slices are ready to go. It should be a quick in and out, and that is perfect for a lunch break. They are also in a cool building in a location near the the river and the bike path. Last, but most important, their pizza seems to be a little different and tastes better than Avalanche's. Granted, I've only been here once, and I lucked into some freshly baked pizza, but I expect this will be a great place to add to my lunch spot rotation.

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Was totally worth the 45 minute drive to get it. Best roast beef I think I've ever had.

Always a treat!

I wanted to like this pizza, I really did. But it just wasn’t in the stars. That’s why I gave it 3, to be fair. I wanted to try the (I’m assuming) original store but opted for the slice out of convenience. Just disappointed because of all of the claims of being “best in the country“ and the “awards” they’ve won. It was just “ok”, but I bet if it had been hot and fresh it would’ve been better. We were here from out of town and are on a quest for the best pizza we can find. This wasn’t it by far. I also got the caprese salad and was a little disappointed with the salad dressing choices. I guess I just expected better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I infrequently get to the Athens area, but always get a take and bake pepperoni or margarita pizza. ***** 5 star rating.

NY style slices are fantastic!

Very nice, helpful,, and attentive staff. Delicious food too. Had the Italian beef, and they served it in a diabetic friendly way as in, no bun was included for a slightly reduced price.

My order was for a sliced beef Italian roll,, which included the same quantity of sliced beef that you'd find on the sandwich, but without the bun, and they also included some complementary homemade horseradish sauce with my order too.

Don’t let the road construction fool you, this place is still open and slanging some of the best pizzas around. Fast and friendly service as well.

The slice house is the pot of gold at the end of the bike path. I generally walk three miles down the bike path, get my slice and then head home feeling happy. The pizza is great. The service is good. The view of whites mill is awesome. The current road work is a pain but not insurmountable.

Good NY style pizza. I was a little shocked at the $5/ slice price but they were large slices.

One of the best lunch spots in Athens! I have never even tried the pizza because the Beef Buns & Sandwiches are top tier. And it’s all solar-powered - WIN!

Parking: Great parking & near the bike path.
