Athena’s Pizza

STAY AWAY! They have charged my credit card FIVE times. For a $ 21 bill, I know have credit card charges of over $ 1000.00 (yes, you read that correctly!)
Food was average on top of everything.
There is another review with a similar experience from September, 2015.

Went to eat there at their new location Saturday night. Luckily they were already closed. I say this because they had a dog running around in the restaurant! OMG! Never eating there again. Too bad too because they had decent Gyros and they deliver. Won’t be delivering to us!

Unfortunately as other reviewers have noted, the Athena’s with the awesome burgers and awesome Pizza is gone.
They are at a new location down the street and apparently under new ownership, and now it is not worth the bother.
Such a shame to kill an awesome little local hole in the wall restaurant.

So after a while, quality slipped, pizzas came later and later. The final straw was me being double charged for pizza. They ran my card on the day I ordered and then ran it the next day for the total from the purchase + $ 1 more. I called for several days to get this straightened out and the woman who could help me never called back. Finally I went there in person, the woman was there, told me I would see a credit in 4 hours but she couldn’t do it right that second because her machine was broken. Sounded logical, but credit never showed. Would not return any further calls. I ended up having to dispute the charge with my bank and go through that whole process. Took weeks to get my $$ back. After that fine display of customer service, I have not, and will never, do business with them again.

This place use to be amazing when the original owner ran it with the original recipes! One of his coworkers bought it and omfg it has gone significantly down hill! The portions are smaller and cost more! Also to make things worse, horrible service and no where near the same quality! It’s sad to say that the athena’s that I knew of died when the original owner sold it!

It looks like I’m not the only one who has been scammed at this place. My debit card was charged $ 63 and change for a phone in order. Then it was charged $ 79.00 right after that. I am fighting to get my money back, but I’m being ignored. Good thing I’m friends with the manager of my credit union. She is telling me to call the police about this!!! BTW the pizza and wings were just so so! Not worth the price they charged.

SHADY!!! Charged my credit card twice, 2 separate amounts (added a tip) 3 days later than the original purchase. Trying to blame it on my bank, but I’ve never had this happen with my bank the 30 years I’ve had a credit card. Probably scammed several people who didn’t check their accounts. Then when talking to the lady and trying to resolve, never received an apology. Poor customer service!

Absolutely disgusting place to eat! I can’t believe they are in business. If the health department walked in there they would immediately shut this place down. The first time we ate there, we ordered delivery. The messed up our pizza, it was cold and one of the pasta dishes that I ordered I couldn’t even stomach it. The 2^nd time we ordered (because there is NOTHING else in that area) we ordered carry out. When we got there to pick it up, the inside of that place was HORRIBLE. Bugs and roaches everywhere! My stomach turns now every time we pass Athena’s pizza. DO NOT EAT THERE!

Surprisingly good pizza. Very friendly staff. This place stays super busy, it’s the only place to eat around here. We had a large gathering around here for July 4^th and ended up all coming to eat here. Five large pizzas. Well priced. Tasted really good for a place in the middle of nowhere. I would come back here if I was in the area.

Ordered a Mediterranean pizza for carry out. Cost was $ 20 for a medium. There was no feta cheese and the olives were sliced black NOT kalamata. Very disappointed!

Disappointing. Used to be so good. Hubby found piece of wire in the pizza. Onions and green peppers weren’t cooked.

This used to be a favorite of ours until my
Husband went to pick up our dinner and saw roaches scramble across the area where they cut the pizzas. He saw that the employee saw them, too, and did nothing about it. She pretended not to see them. Disgusting! We will never be back.

This place was good 2 years ago and now it’s horrible!!! Discusting fries, no taste to chicken tenders, always messing up orders, extremely greasy… staff not very friendly… WAY OVERPRICED! I was a regular here 2 years ago… I won’t go there now..

I recently grabbed a pizza from this joint and despite some of the glowing results below I found it to be one of the worst pizzas I’ve found in the area. I found the pizza to be lacking in flavor from the toppings to the sauce to the crust. Also, to call the place a hole in the wall is giving it too much credit. Just not a good experience for me. I won’t be returning.

It’s a hole in the wall! But the food was great! Good pizza and Wings!!! Better than most in the area. Glad I found this spot!!! They deliver too!

Delicious gyro! Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu! This came as a personal recommendation and I’m so glad I tried it! It’s not much to look at and there is no room to eat at the store, but the quality of the food and ingredients is top notch. They make all their dressings and sauces in house. They use bread from a Philadelphia baker for their Philly cheese steaks. If you are hungry and in the area, this is the place to try!

Food is inconsistent. You never know what to expect each time, they have made repeated mistakes on orders only to claim the order was made the way they had always prepared it in the past, which is totally untrue. They are also dishonest. Had to discontinue patronizing this establishment due to continuous problems with orders and the worst part was when I had to go to the restaurant to get my refund due to another botched delivery order. It was after having met the owners and a couple of employees and then viewing the establishment in person, that I saw the reality of it all. I was appalled at the filth and the hygiene over all, it was downright horrific. Sickened now that I realize all the deliveries I ate from there came out of such disgusting conditions and were made by those dirty people.

Their food is consistently yummy and tonight I picked up a grilled chicken salad to have at home. Once I got home I discovered the lettuce was turning brown throughout. Called Athena’s and asked for a credit and they insisted upon bringing me a new salad. Was it a bummer to wait, yes, but I think they are a class act!

I have to preface this review.
Being born in Denmark a pretty standard pizza, considering the amount of Mediterranean heritage, is what is called «Sharwama pizza» It is a standard pizza with tomato sauce, they add gyro/​shawarma meat and put it in the oven. When the pizza is baked they drizzle it with tzatziki sauce, add lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber.
With that being said — I haven’t been back to «the ol’ country» for about 6 years and I’ve been CRAVING said pizza for the last few months.
NOWHERE could I find the pizza on the menu so it would have to be specialty ordered. I finally ordered it from Athena Pizza for take out and they NAILED it.
I was afraid that they might slather it in tzatziki sauce which would make the bread soggy. I was PLEASANTLY surprised. Absolutely delicious and brought me back to days of old.
Will absolutely order this again from this place. Cannot stress how delicious they made this pizza.
Thank you, Athena Pizza, for bringing great taste and to help bring back good memories!
Rave, rave, rave…

Vvery dirty. I wo.‘t go back.
