Little Italy Pizzeria

Little Italy Pizzeria is a no frills pizza shop in Athens that has been serving slices and whole pies for years, racking up nearly 1,400 reviews at 4.4 stars along the way. The appeal is simple: good pizza at fair prices in a casual setting. For a college town that takes its late night food seriously, Little Italy fills the role perfectly. The pizza is New York style, with large slices that fold properly and a crust that has the right balance of chew and crispness. The cheese pizza is the benchmark, and it delivers. Specialty pies and toppings expand the menu for people who want more variety, and the kitchen handles volume well without letting quality slide during busy periods. Beyond pizza, the menu includes calzones, subs, pasta dishes, and salads. None of it pretends to be anything fancy, and that honesty is part of what keeps people coming back. This is the kind of place where you walk in, order at the counter, grab your food, and eat without ceremony. The prices sit firmly in the $ range, which matters when you are feeding a family or a group of college students. The restaurant gets particularly busy on late nights and weekends, which speaks to its role as a go to option for the downtown crowd heading home after an evening out. Service is quick even during peak hours. Little Italy Pizzeria is open for lunch and dinner daily, with late hours on weekends. The location is convenient to both the UGA campus and downtown Athens.
