★★★★☆ 4.0 Christy Fallin Butturini · Feb 2026

If you’re looking for polished fancy Italian spot, this isn’t your place. If you’re looking for character (and a solid sub), then Little Italy Pizza & Subs in Athens absolutely delivers. The sub I had was genuinely good piled high on Italian bread with a satisfying bite and just the right chew. The bread alone deserves a shoutout: sturdy enough to hold everything together, but not so tough it fights back. Classic, no-frills, exactly what you want from a college-town sandwich shop. Now let’s talk atmosphere. They opened in 1997, and it kind of feels like the cleaning schedule might have wrapped up around then too. It’s unapologetically a college dive…worn-in, a little rough around the edges, and fully aware of what it is. You’re not coming here for ambiance. You’re coming here after class

"Hands down the best pizza in town! The Sicilian crust is a must-try—easily the best I've ever had. Incredible value for the quality of premium ingredients they use. You can taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend!"

★★★★☆ 4.0 Gregory Macdonald · Mar 2026

Ordered the meat lovers stromboli. I thought about getting an individual slice of pizza as well, but glad I didn't. The stromboli was more than enough! Loaded with ham, salami, pepperoni, and Italian sausage. Not crowded at all and service was quick.

Love this spot and the food,I have been eating here for 20+ years.The subs are huge and taste great and the pizza is equally as big and tasty.Price is very reasonable too!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dom Crotty · Jan 2026

As much as I like going to this place, the pizza has been disappointing the last couple times I ate here. The first time ( 2 years ago) the pizza was as good as any NY/CT pizza: good crust, good sauce, good cheese. A visit a year ago and last week, the crust was doughy, as though it hadn't risen enough, the sauce was bland and the cheese gluey; the total made for a mediocre pizza meal. I know you guys have it in you--whatever you changed, please think about changing back.
