  1. Jeffrey Mudgett

    Long time family owned business owners still work there every day. Put out great product. Hot delicious. This place has stood the test of time and is an amazing pizza. I really enjoy

  2. Kawabell

    Nice little pizza place. Very greasy pizza and a lackluster grinder.

  3. clint morgan

    great pizza

  4. Nate Inman

    Love this place! Grinders are very good!

  5. Leticia Lyle

    My family love the food is great we love the salads are fresh and crispy..and the garlic bread is delicious 😋

  6. Sheila Miller

    The best pizza in town

  7. Terri Badgley

    I have eaten there three times and each meal was scrumptious!

  8. shauna rumel

    This was my first time here. My husband drove from Federal Way to get a grinder. I’m thinking that’s a long drive for a grinder. None the less, I accompanied him. I’m glad I did. He ordered his grinder which was amazing. Yes… I took a nibble. I had a pizza and shared a salad. The food was amazing. The staff was even better. All hands on deck. Several servers checking in on us, socializing with us, then the lead chef came out and did the same. Very nice experience. It’s hard to find good employees. Athens has them all!!! Love this place. We’ll be back!

  9. Peter Franzke

    First time there. Ordered take out and pizza was great. Fast service and friendly staff.

  10. Cash Register Guys

    Been going here since high school and let’s just say that is a few years ok. Service and food has always been great, Definitely a small home town vibe that many of us miss.

  11. Bailey Holmes

    Been eating here for 15 years and it’s always great however no changing table in the ladies room ):

  12. Bo America

    I’ve gone here since I was a kid. I always get Canadian bacon/pineapple pizza, cold cut grinder and side salad with blue cheese (their blue cheese dressing is excellent). It seems the last year or 2 the food doesn’t taste as great as it used to but it’s still good. Owners are great! Love how the cheese is browned on top of the pizza although if not careful your toppings will all slide off.

  13. Ana Maria Sanabria

    very good food and excellent service

  14. Lisa McLean

    Best place for grinders. Staff is amazing. We ate in and ordered to go for other family members that were not able to meet for lunch. We will be back again and again. Thank you Athens for a great lunch experience today!!!!

  15. Jody

    If I had to choose what my last meal was on this plant, definitely Athens Hawaiian pizza & the baked spaghetti! Nobody beats Athens pizza in my opinion

  16. Cherry DuBray

    I called and made an order, I ordered 4 dinners, it came up to 75 dollars. I walked in and it smelled amazing in there so thought cool its going to be worth whatever im paying(didn’t know the price until i got there). Well 😪 every dish had the same egg noodles in it. The sauce wasn’t very flavourful, for 75 dollars i was hoping for food that had flavor, i wouldn’t have even cared about every dish having egg noodles. I ordered spaghetti, lasagna, manicotti and ravioli…so staff 5 stars, food watch out cuz the price isn’t worth it.

  17. Jeff Slapnick

    Great grinders

  18. Tahlon Rose

    Friendly folks. Food was the worst I have ever e had. I would have been better of putting a Stouffers Lasagna in the oven and saved $50. Best thing was the cheese bread and Sprite. Bland food. Sauce is not good. Garlic bread was rock hard. Came based on reviews. Left with a stomach ache. Will not return.

  19. Haley Barton

    A local treasure – Athens has been a family favorite since I was little. I have really great memories of my dad picking up a pizza here and bringing it home after work. I was ecstatic when I moved back to the area years later to see this hometown favorite still going strong and was so thrilled to see the same wonderful family running it. Every time I go in the staff is warm, inviting, and delightful. It truly feels like you are being welcomed to their dinner table. Great food. Great service. Great people. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Athens ❤️

  20. Robert Riger

    Good food, 1st time trying!

  21. Marie Hines

    It’s been more than 20 years since being there! They brought me back to great memories of their food. Hubby tried is first Giro, while I had the Manacotti! 2 nights worth of heaven. We’ve decided to make Athens our once every 3 month place. Manacotti is rich, fattening and soo good 👍

  22. Jesse Allen

    Probably the best pizza your money can buy. No lie. I wish the pizza was never ending. The sauce is one of a kind.

  23. Juan Morales

    The sauce could be a bit sweeter IMO (personal taste) but other than that, fantastic pie. I initially scoffed at the price, but they compensate with generous amounts of toppings.

  24. Yeremy Turcios

    Best sandwiches in town! Very friendly staff!

  25. Ben Freeman

    Best grinders in the Burn

  26. Katherine Burleson

    Great pizza and service
    Will try the grinders next!

  27. Mike Hefti

    Glad this place is back open, love stopping by for some great food!

  28. Loren Zeitler

    Very good

  29. Reading With K8T

    It was alright. Staff were VERY friendly. My only disappointment was the pizza, it was SOOOO greasy and the toppings fell off because there was only cheese on top. Everyone knows you put cheese first then toppings, then maybe a little bit of cheese on top of that to keep everything together.

  30. Ayu

    The food was great, and their price was decent! We will come back:)

  31. Frederick Clanahan

    I recently visited Athens Pizza & Pasta in Auburn and was blown away by their delicious grinders! The restaurant is family owned and the staff are wonderful people who made me feel right at home. The overall experience was fantastic and I can’t wait to go back for more of their great food. Highly recommended! If you’re a fan of Acropolis Pizza in Kirkland, WA then you’ll love this place, same family owns both.

  32. Raye Dewolfe-Molesky

    Great homestyle Greek and Italian dishes. Been going there for 25 years… Yum! It has changed. After being closed for 16 months due to fire, it has reopened. The interior and exterior has had a beautiful refresh and update. The food is wonderful as always.

  33. Jesse Hart

    This is one of those hidden gems. Their grinders are great. And so is everything else.

  34. John H

    Love their pizza and grinders BBQ chicken grinder is the best.

  35. laura Reith

    Super nice people! Recommend!

  36. Kim Thornburg

    Went there today. I ordered the ham grinder and a side salad. The sandwich did not look anything like the pictures. Very little ham, very dry and no flavor. The salad was also a disappointment. Hug chunks of lettuce that comes from the core of iceberg lettuce. Won’t be back.

  37. Stacy Adams

    This place is truly authentic. Please check it out. You will be coming back for 40 years too. Enjoy 😋

  38. rolando liscano

    Best baked spaghetti in town

  39. Petal Pasqual

    No so much bang as is buck! Barley any sauce meatballs looked like cut up burgerish mush…and sandwiches..mostly bread …smh not what it use to be. Hard to speak up without offending..but i tip..lacking that spark sorry athens

  40. Wildcraft Rose

    It’s really the best pizza in town. This business also contributes to local charity.

  41. Márquez Wong

    Delicious food friendly staff look forward to coming back

  42. kyle

    This place is awesome…try a grinder!

  43. Bob Longoria

    This is definitely my pizza night place. The gentleman server even remembered my drink and brought it to me before I placed my order. Real home town service! Highly recommended

  44. B

    Great pizzas & grinders. Newly remodeled. Good service.

  45. Joseph Krissoff

    Incredible food! Great service! Great engaging owners! Made us feel welcomed, coming from the NE, this is true Italian at it’s best! Highly recommend!

  46. Randy Lustig

    Home town great!

  47. marcos trevizo

    Everything was great. But they don’t have wings like their Des Moines location 🙁

  48. David Chi

    Excellent pizza, even better customer service. Definitely my first choice for large gathering order last of pizza from now on

  49. Prime Tile n Wood

    A+++

  50. Victor Petrik

    Great service, delicious food!

  51. Bekah Jones

    I ordered take out. Pepperoni grinders are the best.

  52. Kevin Bergeron

    Delicious food and amazing staff.

  53. Cha Velasquez

    Had a nice meal with James! The baked spaghetti was so good!

  54. Ed Britz

    Everything I have ever had here has been great

  55. Gregg Hickam

    Easier as often as I can, owners are great people

  56. Anthony Bowman

    5 stars to me means the food is great. It was pretty good but not great. Spaghetti a 5, spare ribs 3.5. As always, it’s all about each other’s taste. Jackie was GREAT

  57. Frank Evans

    VERY EXPENSIVE

  58. akash sablok

    Great food and service. Perfect ambience for our team after a long day of games. Thank you Bill and team.

  59. truDental

    Great local family run business! Food and service is exceptional.

  60. Justin Davis

    Best pizza in Auburn and surrounding area by far.

  61. Tod Witzel

    This place is a long standing tradition in Auburn. Very good pizza, gyros sandwiches and pasta. The ravioli is particularly good. Homemade salad dressings are also fantastic. This place is the polar opposite of a big chain restaurant. Think 1960s mom and pop one off business.

  62. Jean Zeman

    Great place, excellent gyro (tons of garlic, fair warning) they were very kind to let us sit and chat with friends until they started filling up.

  63. Nancy Serdahl Harris

    Mine was take out. Very thoughtful and friendly! Thank you

  64. Pete Gabbard

    Ordered there grinders they were as good as always. Staff is very friendly serrvice was fast
    I have eaten here multiple times. I have never had a experience. Food is always good.
    If you have never tried it I recommend you do!!

  65. LuAnn Bowen

    My pizza crust was soggy.

  66. mike post

    Ordered meatball grinders… They were the best ..
    5 stars all the way

  67. Desertphoenix

    Great food for my first experience.

  68. Jacob Relf

    Verry good food and wonderful service.

  69. Joseph Quin

    The best of the best!!

  70. Amy Davidson

    Great restaurant. Fast and pleasant service. I’ll definitely return.

  71. Mark Kissel

    Had a chicken grinder which was very tasty.

  72. Mellissa Burgy

    Athens Pizza and Pasta, meet your new regulars! Holy cow! Every detail from placing the phone order to the presentation, to the pick up, the customer service, and most importantly the FOOD was 5 stars! We will highly recommend and we will definitely be back! Thank you!

  73. L Goetz

    Always excellent service! The pizza and grinders were amazing! It’s been a long time since we’ve been there, but we will be back soon after this last visit. Thank you!

  74. Bobby SixKiller

    This guy’s are so sweet and just humble. I felt like I walked into a family establishment. Super friendly and the food was amazing. I am a pizza hunter. I will search for any hole in the wall spot for pizza that’s good and this place is awesome. You can immediately tell the Ingredients are real and fresh. If you’re in auburn check them out. I wish I would have done that sooner.

  75. Tony Vallone

    Best meatball grinder around

  76. Noel Sanders

    Food was very good and good size portions.

  77. Betty Ervin

    Quaint, cozy and yummy!!

  78. 48PlayGuitar

    I used to get the grinder for lunch time-to-time and it was so satisfying. We got take out about a year ago and were disappointed. This afternoon my husband and I didn’t want to cook and decided to give it one more go. I ordered cold cut grinder and my husband the turkey. We didn’t realize the “turkey” was actually a spread like you would do a tuna sandwich. That would have been OK except the spread fell well short of each end of the grinder, leaving only mayo and spice at the ends. My CC grinder was two inches shorter than my husband’s grinder, and on closer inspection, I found two cuts in the paper to cut the sandwich in half, effectively taking two inches of my sandwich out of the center. At $30 for just the two grinders, we both agreed we won’t be ordering from or eating at Athen’s again.

  79. Harvey Wiggins

    I always love going there to eat that food is amazing, the customer service, the Spirit, everything is just so fantastic

  80. Laura Henderson

    Such great food, it was my first time there and I will definitely be coming back with my family

  81. matthew randol

    The best grinders in the state!

  82. Margueite Long

    I read some reviews, but we decided to go based on the stars. Man, we were disappointed. I was expecting a great pizza and awesome grinders. We got a somewhat tolerable pizza and a grinder on too sweet bread. It is definitely not as advertised. It looks great, it doesn’t taste that great. We did have fantastic service.

  83. Stephen Long

    I had high hopes for Athens Pizza. We ordered a few different pies to try, but found the overall flavor to be underwhelming. The cheese used had very little, if any flavor. As a result, having a cheese pizza with extra cheese was disappointing. The Tony’s special was ok, since it has more than just cheese, but it too didn’t impress with its flavor profile.

  84. LaMar Leavitt

    Best grinders in the world

  85. Timothy McIntyre

    A MUST GO! Have been coming here since I was 12, I’m now 58!

  86. Robert (Big Red)

    Better then average.

  87. Peter E

    Most awesome incredible pizza you’ll ever have! You can’t go wrong with a Greek Pizza and Pasta place. They also have grinders and salads. The owners are super nice and the place is spotless! A+

  88. Kelly Dixon

    Love this family owned business!!

  89. Melissa Adams

    Wonderful staff, very friendly. We didn’t love the Crazy crazy amount of cheese on everything. My pizza was just ok.

  90. Kenda Erickson

    This place has the best ravioli, spaghetti & ribs and manicotti that I’ve ever had!!!!

  91. Rodney Kirby

    Just found this place .it is the same as the one in kirkland that I went to all my youth for late night grinders delicious

  92. Carla Kazsimer

    The best pizza I’ve had in many, many years! The staff is super friendly and efficient.

  93. Squatch ManApe

    Great food and quick friendly service

  94. Kerri Mayer

    Incredible service and wonderful food!

  95. Jon Moler

    As a child, growing up in Auburn in the late 70s early 80s I remember my mother taking me to Athens Pizza to eat. Last night I asked my fiance where she wanted to eat and she suggested Athens. She ordered the cheesy bread with meat sauce for an appetizer, as I had garlic bread with meat sauce. We both split a baked spaghetti dinner together. It was very good. Overall, the food is great and is not overpriced! I’m glad to see that Athens is still going strong after 45 years of being in business. I Highly Recommend this restaurant to all who love Italian food. You will not be disappointed‼️

  96. Christopher Light

    Pleasant place. Good food. We’ll be back.

  97. Ray Mackie

    Great grinders!

  98. Finlay Davies

    but I had these guys help me move my belongings from one storage facility to another.

  99. David Kilbourne

    I just got a pizza and two grinders to go last night! OMG!! I was told I’d be satisfied, but, wow! I’ll be back!

  100. Huey Tougaw

    First time going… worth the trip… Great food… awesome service… several regulars that make it feel like family. The ribs are to die for!

  101. Jason Dufault

    So good!!! Both pizza and pasta!!

  102. Nick Anderson

    Amazing customer service. We asked the server for her suggestion and got the pastrami grinder which was amazing. Also we wanted to share a salad and a grinder, I asked for a extra plate but they were so wonderful to split both items up for us.

  103. Kevin Ickes

    Athens has been a fixture of Auburn for years and years. For many of those our family had a routine: every Friday night after getting off work my parents, wife, and I would gather at Athens for dinner. Unfortunately my wife and I moved to Texas five years ago and that tradition went out the window.

    Recently I was back in town due to the passing of my Mom. I took my Dad out to dinner here on a Friday night for old time’s sake. The food is still the amazing food I remembered, the service was top notch, and due to a fire in a neighboring unit a few years ago the interior has been revitalized.

    I shed a few tears due to the memories involved, but it was a good experience.

    I highly recommend the pepperoni grinder, the pepperoni pizza, or the Athens special pizza. The spumoni ice cream also is a lovely dessert to cap off the evening.

  104. Ron Kirby

    Best grinders anywhere. Great take out service.

  105. Leslie Marie Carrier

    OMG 10 out of 10. No actually 25 out of 10. You could close your eyes point to the menu and never go wrong. Been going here for years and will continue for years to come. The owner shows passion for what he does. Always greets every guest with a smile and creates delicious food. Beyond fair pricing. Family friendly. You can tell the employees love what they do. Multi award winner. A++++++++++ in my book!

  106. Jeff Barsaloux

    Great customer service and good food

  107. Lesley Blair Paine

    Great, cheesy Canadian bacon pizza. Friendly waitress

  108. Suzy Heggen

    Best Grinder I have ever had Great Pizza and delicious Lasagna I love this place
