The grinders are incredible. The Greek salad is my favorite. The portions are generous. I love this place.

we could tell by the pictures of the pizza that this is the kind we like. There is something special about the cheese. Delicious, will be back. For the people that complain about it being soggy...its probably because you get door dash etc. and its cold. get it right out of the oven.

Grinders are great and the gyro with Greek salad is a deal. Try the lemon rice soup for a treat. They have a half grinder and soup lunch special that I would like to try. I recommend the cold cut grinder (served toasted) or the lamb gyro (the meat is actually the traditional lamb and beef mix).

Food was meh. When I get a gyro, I expect to see shaved meat, but the lamb seemed like premade frozen patties. There wasn't much to the gyro either, but the size matches the price.

Fresh ingredients and nice flavor. Definitely not Greek but maybe slightly Greek inspired. They were suuuuuuper skimpy on the feta cheese which is typically the highlight of a Greek salad ☹️ especially for those of us who don't eat much meat. They sprinkled it on there like it was pepper. They also didn't have hummus which is really strange considering thatys a staple. That's like going to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't have frijoles. ? They served it with French bread instead of pita bread which is also strange. Case and point; Don't come here expecting traditional Greek food.

They've cleverly removed the size labels from their menu, but with barely any digging, here are some sad facts:1. Athens' small pizza is 10" -- that's less than a foot in diameter, and normally what reputable businesses consider "Personal". Their large is (therefore) 14", which is normally what reputable businesses consider "Medium". If I wanted nightmares, I'd try to imagine the size of their "Personal".2. Do they take this into consideration with pricing? No; contrarily, they charge MORE.3. Use your head. Inflation didn't just impact businesses, yet this one seems to think it did.Imagine Starbucks charging $5 for a short (10 oz) coffee. Think that's out of the realm of possibility for a **corporation**? No? And yet they don't. So why is a small, local pizza business -- as quality as the taste might be -- charging ~50% more for what size/style you could happily find elsewhere?We live in an age where people who insist upon the application of logic get shunned, so feel free to get perverse about this, but please: take a look at the actual listed prices (on Athens Pizza & Pasta's actual website) and tell me that this current ONE $ price rating on Google shouldn't be updated to at least $$ to make SOMETHING make sense of their 4+ Star rating.

Subpar pizza. It was wet even though there was hardly any sauce. Crust was soggy and all the toppings fell off. Salad was okay, but the cucumbers were discolored.
