We ordered a pepperoni stromboli. The cheese was not melted thoroughly. It was clear they were in a rush and didn’t keep it in the oven long enough. The pizzas are slightly better but can be soggy.

The dirtiest place I ever was in. Terrible greasy pizza. More disturbing was how filthy this place was and I walked out.

One of the WORST experiences EVER. My neighbor had a party a couple of weeks back, they got Athena pizza; my wife and I thought it was pretty decent. So, when we came across a coupon in the Valpak mailer, we decided to give it another try. We opted for the 2 large pizzas for $ 17.95 offer. I called, ordered two pizzas, each with one topping. They told me they’d give me the price when I got there. Sure enough when I got there, they gave me the price: $ 27.09. I paid via credit card, took the customer copy of the receipt, and went home. The pizza was good. Later while cleaning up, I noticed the customer copy they gave me and instead of $ 27.09, it said $ 32.54. I was confused. Why would I have a customer copy of my receipt that had a different price than what I paid? So, I called them up — and that’s where the nightmare started. Some ignorant, rude jerk answers the phone, looks up my order, tells me that I was charged $ 4.85 for one of my toppings, instead of $ 2.45, then tells me that it’s not their fault I was over charged, then proceeds to argue with me for 10 minutes about how much I was charged. Not — Oh, I’m sorry sir, my apologies, what can I do to make this right? Instead, he proceeds to tell me that I don’t know how to do simple math. The short version is that Athena Pizza is ripping people off and suckering them in with coupons. Allow me to explain how: I had a coupon for two pizzas for $ 17.95. This is how Athena bills out such an order —($ 11.70(price of a regular cheese pizza) + $ 11.70)(1.06(sales tax)) — $ 5.45 = $ 19.35: WHATTHEYCHARGE Here’s how they should bill it, because the way they are billing it is against tax code(you can’t charge a customer tax on something they’re not paying for, i.e., apply a discount after tax has been paid — IT’S ILLEGAL): $ 17.95×1.06 = $ 19.03: WHATTHEYSHOULDCHARGE In this transaction, instead of them charging the legally mandated state sales tax(6%) they’re charging their customers 7.8%($ 17.95×1.078 = $ 19.35) — which is ILLEGAL. The State of Pennsylvania wouldn’t be very happy about this, nor would the IRS. Yet, they wouldn’t listen to the truth, humiliated, disrespected, and SHOUTED me down. There are a lot of words that could be used to describe such people, but I’ll take the high road here. In my situation, where I was charged $ 27.09, my transaction, with a coupon for two large pizzas for $ 17.95, each pizza with one topping, was processed as follows:($ 11.70 + $ 11.70 + $ 4.85 topping + $ 2.85 topping)(1.06) — $ 5.45 = $ 27.09, WHICHISWRONG, plus I was charged $ 2.40 extra for one of the toppings, WHICHWASNEVERREFUNDED after 10 minutes of arguing with a person that shouldn’t be anywhere near numbers, money, or a cash register. UNACCEPTABLEATHENAPIZZA! You should be ashamed for overcharging your customers and then being defiant when someone calls with a GENUINE concern(I was told my receipt for $ 32.54 must have been the wrong one and that I must have grabbed the wrong receipt — YOUGAVEITTOME, ITHADMYNAMEANDPHONENUMBERONIT!!!) and then proceed to shame them when they don’t agree with your 8 year old ability level with respect to math. To everyone that attempts to use a coupon here — Be sure that they don’t pull the same stunt and charge you sales tax on the total, then apply your ‘DISCOUNT’ to the taxed amount. WHAT A JOKE… ANDANILLEGALONEATTHAT! I WILLNEVER give you my business again. I WILLTELLEVERYONE who will listen what happened to me. I WILL post this review to facebook. I WILL make it my job in life to bring it to the attention of the proper authorities and stop your fraud. All over the $ 2.87 you over charged me. $ 2.87, REALLY!!! Times must indeed be tough. Good luck, and good riddance.

If I’d written this about 2 months ago, they would have easily been 5 stars. When they do it right, this is the best pizza in the area. My roommates and I order from here almost religiously once a week, but we have decided to take a few weeks off to try other places, due to the decline in quality. Very Hit or Miss. When it is a hit the food is great and the delivery is fast. When it is a miss, they really miss. The last couple of times we have ordered, the pies have been done incredibly poorly. Way too much sauce, with the toppings not distributed well and a lack of cheese. We always order Sicilian, and the last few times almost a quarter of the slices may as well have been a tomato pie order. Hope they get it together so we go back to ordering from them.

I may be a tad biased, as I was one of their delivery boys back in ~97−98, but Athena Pizza is one of the gems of West Chester. On the upper end of pizza places in the area, with all the standard menu items, but I keep going back for the Greek salad! I am married to a Greek girl, I cook and LOVE Greek food, and I worked at a Greek restaurant in high school. As such, I have been to nearly every Greek restaurant within ~20miles. We even had our rehearsal dinner at Estia in Philly! Athena Pizza has, by far IMO, the best Greek salad in(possibly) all of Chester County. The amount of high quality feta they slap on top is borderline ludicrous. And PLEASE keep it up! It’s one of the main things that keeps me coming in for coming up on two decades. In fact, ONETIME I picked up a Greek salad from Athena that had ~60% of the feta they typically use, which is still about double what most restaurants give the customers, and I was traumatized. tl;dr — you must have to have Athena’s Greek salad

I got takeout here everything was great only thing was the girl in the phone who answered she was extremely awkward and strange on the phone I really don’t think she should be on the phone with customers and she really wasn’t set on my order it sounded like she didn’t get anything I said and didn’t know the menu, I was hoping I got everything I needed.

I have to give a big shout-out to Athena Pizza. I was in charge of a 3 day meeting event for work and decided to use Athena as our lunch provider for about 8 – 10 staff member during those days. I used to order(amazing) and Athena did the rest. The orders were perfect and on time everyday. Their food is quality and priced well. Salads are fresh and huge. Sandwiches and pizza are great too. They remembered every detail on 3 pretty large orders. Theo, the delivery driver deserves a lot of credit. He offered to carry my delivery into the building everyday. He’s polite, organized, and seems to take pride in his work. I highly recommend Athena for individuals or groups! Great food, great service!

Great pizza, huge hoagies with generous portions of meats. We have ordered from here 4 weeks in a row for our contractors that are working on our home

Honest company, made a mistake with the order and admitted without issue. Offered to send new order which we did not take but did get it refunded. When through GrubHub which we will not do again, we will call Athena directly from now on. My chicken parm grinder was delicious and we also like their pizza.

I’ve been coming to Athena’s for almost 20 years now. Friendly family run business with great food. May be a little dated but I recommend looking past it and enjoy a pizza or cheesesteak. You won’t regret it.

Athena used to be our number one pick for pizza. No more. It is inconsistent and we have had multiple orders delivered that were wrong, not what we ordered, mission paid for items and just poor food. They used to be amazing about four years ago, but now they are hit or miss… depends who is in the kitchen, who is answering the phone. And oh most importantly the place seems to be run by brothers and one of them is so incredibly rude he should have been on Sienfeld. After two orders in a row were so terrible what was delivered literally was inedible and we called we got the jerk brother/owner who basically did not care at all. He had put money and so what. If they closed we wouldn’t miss them at this point.

We order takeout a couple times/week. Athena is fairly new to us but has been a solid addition to the rotation. The cheesesteaks & strombolis are fantastic. Other eateries such as Pepper Mill have become so complacent its frustrating! I’ve been a Pepper Mill customer for over 15 years. They get worse every year. Athena will accept credit cards and will deliver from further away in half the time. I appreciate that Athena appreciates my business. Pepper Mill could care less.

Absolutely horrible service. Totally unorganized. Lots of guys cooking. One girl working the register, waiting tables and taking phone orders. Good was good but will not be back again. Was here once a couple weeks ago, same crappy service not to mention they forgot orders. Came back to give them second chance. Won’t be a third visit. See the«Not Recommended» posts. Most are spot on target

I stopped in here on a Friday at lunchtime with my two-year-old daughter to get a slice of pizza. Apparently this pizza place does not sell slices during lunchtime, only full pizza’s so we had to sit in the dining area and place an order. The restaurant was about 25% full. There was one waitress working the room. She was very friendly but forgot two out of the three requests I had during the meal. One was asking for a cup so my daughter didn’t have to drink out of a 20 ounce bottle and the second was for our check, while we were waiting for the check I could see and hear the waitress laughing it up behind the line and then she totally forgot to bring the check and had to be reminded again. As anyone with a two-year-old knows Time is of the essence, after hearing«can we leave daddy» eight times, the waitress finally showed up with the check and then told me to pay up front. I guess I could have gone up there the whole time we were waiting if I had known that. The pizza was pretty good and the crust was pretty delicious. Other than that it was a typical Greek style pizza place in a strip mall. Don’t expect to stop in and grab a quick slice because it’s not happening.

A good alternative for nearby Pepper Mill, although note that the cheesesteaks aren’t as good as there. But the service is always nice and it’s a little more comfortable to relax here. The key differentiators with this place is that they have Greek dishes like gyros and Greek style pizzas. They’re both not bad either. They also take credit cards which Pepper Mill doesn’t if that’s a deterrent.

I always eat here every time I’m in the area. They have Greek style pizza, which is delicious. The cheesesteaks are also great. I highly recommend coming here.

We tried Athena Pizza after reading some reviews. We ordered a large for pick up. The first thing I noticed it that it is a thicker crust pizza than most places. While I was eating I knew it tasted like another crust I’ve had before. The crust is very similar to pizza huts. It’s a greasy pie. If you like Pizza Hut you will like Athenas pizza. The sauces was really good but I think I’ll stick with other pizza places for a less greasy pizza.

I’ve never stepped foot into Athena Pizza, but I have ordered from them via Grub Hub. The delivery was quick(even in the post-blizzard weather), courteous, and they followed the directions I gave exactly(didn’t want the delivery guy walking up icy steps). As for the food, it’s standard delivery pizza. I did enjoy the crust a lot — I’m not a fan of thin crust — so the soft, thick crust was great. I also had the wings, but I didn’t really enjoy them as they seemed a little overcooked, and wouldn’t recommend getting them here. Didn’t have anything else, but I’m down to try, whenever late night pizza delivery cravings kick in.

We had ordered pick up from there about 2 months ago– when we got home pizza was wrong. We called to let them know– we were offered replacements– but I did not feel like waiting and going back– so the manager(?) offered a free med cheese pizza the next time we ordered pizza. I called this evening to order along with other things and mentioned my credit for a free med cheese pizza– the owner got on the phone yelling at me– then laughing a «few months ago– and now you want a free pizza» and said if I was given credit last week he would honor it. He would give me $ 3.50 off my order– but NOTFREE pizza. Needless to say I will never order from there again– how dare he yell at me the way he did. YES I wanted my free medium pizza I was promised for their mistake and my inconvenience– YES a whole credit of $ 8., my fault for thinking they would correct their wrong

The pizza here ranges. The cheese pizza is above average, but I must say I have had better; although their specialty pizzas are pretty rocking. For an office event, we ordered some Veggie specials and their Barbecue chicken, both were huge hits, we also ordered some plain cheese, and it was above average, but not spectacular like the speciality pizzas. The service at Athena’s though is wonderful. I placed my order at the last minute, needed 12 pizzas delivered, and needed them fast. Athena’s was VERY helpful. They were patient on the phone taking my order, made suggestions on amounts; given I was looking to feed 30+ people; and the order was delivered very quickly. All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely order from them again.
