I'm from Athens and Kens was my first job in highschool.I just believe that there isn't another pizzeria in tex that's as good as Kens. I will always stop by Ken's when I go down home and am wanting pizza.
You can't find a better pizza.
Place was so run down and none of the staff acted like they even cared. We were there for the Friday night buffet. Noone greeted us when we came in and 6 employees were working. They had to ring up the buffet to tell us how much it even was. We had Coke for our drink and they filled our glasses from a 2 liter. Salad bar was ok except when I found brown almost bad lettuce so I had to start my salad again with a different option. All the pizza and pasta was cold on the buffet. We asked for a couple different kinds. The hot pizza was good with the cracker crust. Obviously this is an original Ken's location and been around for quite some time. I grew up with Ken's in Missouri. BUT the service is what made this the worse experience. No greeting no smiling one girl dressed in shorts that were so short she should have been in Hooters and 6 employees there it should been different. The only time anything was said to us was bye when we left. So sad. We were passing through so thank goodness we will not be back.
Great place to eat! Pizza buffet at lunch was awesome! Salad bar looked very tasty too. Dessert pizza was really good! Go see Amberia…she’ll take great care of you!
The pizza was not good or hot
I requested a fresh one which was given but the thing that made it not good the cold pickled jalapenos were thrown on top not cooked with it.
I only honestly enjoyed the salad bar but that I could tell it was imitation shredded cheese so that was not appealing.
The Pizza Parlor was empty at 140 pm at lunch time 3 others plus me were dining in and I know why it is not a place to eat I will not go back I'm sure at one time it was a very good pizza place it's obvious manger or someone no longer cares
No one was rude they did offer to make anything I wanted on the buffet it just wasn't good I only liked the thin crust.
after the cold jalapenos were thrown on something it just didn't hit right there was no quality or price in the food on the buffet pizza.
My opinion on the entire experience. .
This place is great. Me and my family haven't been here for years. My wife passed 3 years ago so as we were passing the business we decided to go inside and it didn't disappoint. Thank you Ken's pizza for staying open after all these years and giving us a memory we won't forget.
Me and my family went to eat here for lunch for the buffet and it was probably the worst pizza buffet we’ve ever ate at. Not even my kids would eat the pizza saying it’s hard and sour. The salad was very wet there was barely any pizza. The bread was like a brick, it was horrible and not to mention it cost $40 to leave hungry. Mold on the ceiling it was so cold in there the kids next to us had there shirts over there legs trying to keep warm. I would never never never eat there again or ever recommend it to anyone else. It needs to be shut down with how disgusting it is.
Pretty good cracker crust, took a while to get the pizza we wanted on the buffet. People were nice and service was good but some accountability needs to be made a priority, the restaurant is dirty.
Lots of old memories here, needs an update. Salad bar was subpar. I know it’s Athens and that says it all.
My favorite pizza, hands down. Best sauce and crust. I always get either the Works or Alfredo pizza. The cheese bread and cinnamon pizza are excellent as well. If you can catch the buffet I recommend it! Also this is the ONLY ranch I love. I wish they'd bottle it.
Vegetarian options: You can customize anything to be vegetarian.
Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, but parking is on a sloped grading.
