Athens Pizza

Good food at very reasonable prices. Like their pizza, and also the sandwiches & salads. Pasta is a bit bland for our tastes and not a great place if you like meatballs or sausage with your pasta dishes. Service is very friendly and customers are promptly seated and made welcome. Limited beer and wine menu. A good place for lunch or dinner when in Swannanoa, but not one of Asheville’s top restaurants.

I give this 5 stars based on quality and price. The pizza is very good. The Greek salad is good and can be shared. The wine and beer selection are very limited but two of us we ate a pizza, a Greek salad and had a liter of wine which cost us about $ 28. Service was good so even with a good tip we spent about $ 35. Who could ask for more in a cheap date?

Ordinarily I avoid writing reviews because everyone has their own developed sense of taste but, in this case I’m going to make an exception because we decided to try this restaurant based on reviews. We ordered takeout consisting of a pastrami sub & a tuna melt both «upgraded» to include french fries, of which I thought was a bit chintzy due to the exorbitant price they charge for a sandwich! The pastrami sub was described to me as dry & tasteless, the only thing tasted was the mustard! Now on to the tuna melt, the first thing I noticed was the bread was burnt. I glanced inside to find that the tuna was not albacore but the dark unsavory kind! It looked as if it was thrown on the grill and cooked! I specifically asked if it was mixed with mayonnaise. I was told «yes», but I beg to differ. I took one bite. That was all it took. Even the french fries were bland! It’s unfortunate that there isn’t one redeeming feature I can add to this review because as I said, we tried this restaurant due to good reviews. Maybe it was just an off day. But we wont chance it again.

Pizza was decent nothing extraordinary
Prefer toppings on top of pizza but this isn’t how they make their pizza
Crust had a butter flavor but was still good
Overpriced for what it is but lunch special would be ok

I stopped here for a quick lunch on my way to asheville for work. I got two slices of pepperoni and a soda for under six bucks! The pizza is great! Its got that thick crust and oozing cheese but its not heavy. I loved it. Service was quick and the server checked on me regularly and even asked if I wanted my drink in a to go cup. I would definitely stop here again in my travels!

For a small Greek/​Italian restaurant the food is pretty good, but the chicken wings… they are amazing. I also like their pizza because the crust is kind of bready and fluffy which I love. They have some great sandwiches and pasta dishes. Overall I think most people could find something on their menu that they would enjoy.

Not a big fan. It nice having options in Swannanoa, but for Italian in the area, I would suggest My Fathers Pizza (Black Mountain) or Pomodoro’s or even Gondolier (Oteen — E. Asheville). The pizzas have excessive amounts of cheese on them. The spaghetti is so-​so. The subs are decent, but nothing to write home about. Pass.

A nice local restaurant with pretty descent food. I have eaten here several times and each time the service has been great and the food is good. I have tried the pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, and chicken parmesan. All tasty but have to say the chicken parmesan is my go to when eating there. It does get pretty busy around lunch and dinner times so get there early (or late) to avoid the rush.

Got an Italian Sub to go. It was pretty good but it was a bit cold, even though we were waiting for the order to finish when we came to pick it up. The bread was cut strange (vertically «scored», as opposed to horizontally cut) which made the sub a bit awkward to handle and messy. Decent pricing, clean and I imagine I will go back again, and hopefully remember to tell them to not cut my sammich all wonky!

This place has great sandwiches and pizza. Staff is always very friendly and the service is quick and food is always tasty. Hometown feel at this restaurant. If you want a relaxed friendly atmosphere (and great food), stop in at this place!
