About

Athens Pizza has occupied 1341 Clairmont Road in Decatur since 1977, started by Greek immigrants John and Asiemoula Papadopoulos who opened the original location in Putnam, Connecticut in 1966. The family-owned restaurant is known for New England-style Greek pizza with a thick, oily, springy crust baked in a pan rather than on brick. A 16-inch cheese pizza runs $17.25 with toppings like feta, gyro meat, and Kalamata olives at $2.75 each. The menu extends well beyond pizza into Greek staples: fried kalamari at $13.95, spanakopita at $7.25, stuffed grape leaves at $9.75, gyro bites, and a full lineup of subs, pita wraps, pasta, and entrees. Delivery is available on orders of $100 or more. The restaurant sits near Emory University at the intersection of Clairmont and Highway 78.
