    Outstanding across the board. The service is brilliant, so patient and helpful. The pizza is unbelievably good - we've never had pizza in Greece before but if its all this good the Greeks are lucky! I had the imola pizza with potato chips and Pancetta - ridiculously good! Loved it all. Also really nice selection of beers.

    Nice hidden place, one of the best pizzas in Athens. We had a quick lunch there. It is good for a quick stop, delivery or take out but not good if you are looking for a restaurant experience. Plastic cups and disposable forks are all you get even if you dine in. We got a pizza which was excellent and a salad which was ok. Recommended for pizza.

    Was a great, quick visit after a long day. Pizza was authentic and tasty and service was fast and attentive. Also, it was the fist place I saw an IPA on draft. We really enjoyed the pizza and the mozzarella and tomato salad but were so-so on the meatballs. For an Italian theme, it seemed to have too much Greek influence, although we were in Greece. Not to mention, Greece has influenced the entire globe one way or the other. They had a nice seating area in the basement as well.

    Small restaurant with a great variety of pizza. They tasted so good and it wasn't expensive at all! Would go there again! (during my stay in Athens I actually went there like... 5 times xD and always recommended it 💪🏼)

    This place has a great Neapolitan Style Pizza, I ordered the Margherita option. The crust is thin and the Pizza is not going to fill you up but is going to satisfy you in a good way. Amazing place the waitress is a professional in her job. Loved the spot. 5/5 Amazingly Amazing.

    Nice work, guys... We went there without reservation, but they've got as a table within five minutes. The pazanella salad is one of the best salads I've ever tried. Both pizzas ( Margarita - Greca ) were excellent with a perfect dough and full of flavour as well. The waiter was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this pizza place, and for sure, I'll go again

    Pizza and garlic bread were really tasty here. It's a plus that you can get a bottle of wine for as low as 22€. The only complaint would be that the pizza is only 6 pieces so the VfM decreases. I would also like to note that the online reservation system wasn't accurate so I'd recommend making a reservation by phone. 2 pizzas, 1 garlic bread and a bottle of wine cost us 55€ for reference :)

    Delicious pizza place in the heart of Athens! We tried it based on the reviews and were not disappointed. We stayed outside and the alley is quite narrow, but the food was delicious! We only had pizzas and Aperol Sprtiz. Would definitely recommend it if you are craving some Italian food!

    Very good sourdough neapolitan style pizza place, the oven is from one of the most famous manufacturer in Naples and its made only for this kind of pizza! The dough is very good & soft and the baking is at the right way. The price and the service are making this place for a must stop to get a pizza and sit or go. Bravo!

    This was one of our best meals in Athens. The service was very attentive. Our waiter was excellent and very apologetic over a small mishap with our order which was solved quickly and professionally. The pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, toppings to die for. Nice wine and Aperol too. 100% recommend for a break from Greek food if needed.

    Stop by Granello on a whim after going to Baba au Rum! It was a great decision! We ordered the breadsticks (forgot to take a picture of the bread sticks) and the pizza. Breadsticks were absolutely amazing! Wish I could get them more often. We took our food back to our hotel and ate it. I ordered the marinara pizza and I was skeptical about it. Had never had a pizza without cheese. It was delicious as well and I throughly enjoyed every bite! Good prices and a great place to stop by!

    We went by to get a couple of pizzas to go. Super fast. The pizzas were made in about 10 minutes. I will definitely be back again, the pizza was brilliant. I absolutely loved their breadsticks with garlic. What a brilliant idea.-make sure you give those a try 👌

    Long time to get the pizza (at least 25 minutes). The crust is thin the sides are thick. Reminds laffa bread. Burned under and we are not fans of that taste. Otherwise OK pizza. Not wow. Was freezing cold outdoors

    After traveling through Turkey & Greece for several weeks, we were eager for a pizza. The reviews were good, so we hiked 15 minutes through Athens to get here and scored an awesome outside table. Pizza was good as one in Italy...top notch ingredients amazing dough, perfect oven cooking. Bottle of wine & Tiramasu desert made for an awesome evening out. Highly recommend....

    Delicious pizza! Highly recommend. Super cute place with outdoor seats and some indoor seats as well. The crust and the topping were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.

    Yes!! Delicious pizza, lovely friendly service, great prices and an extensive selection of food and drinks. Nice outside seating area. Could not fault it - much love to Granello!

  • 5/5 Anna S. 3 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Visited this charming little pizzeria tucked away with the option of cozy basement seating or al fresco dining. True to the Neapolitan tradition, the pizza boasted an authentic Italian taste that could easily transport you to the streets of Naples. They cater to diverse palates, offering an array of intriguing choices, especially for those who have a penchant for 'pizza bianca'. Beyond pizza, the menu extends to include fresh salads, classic Italian dishes like arancini and lasagna, and a tempting selection of desserts that sweetly round off the meal. I indulged in the Pizza Bianca, reasonably priced at €11.5, which was delightful. My partner opted for the Imola, with an added twist of tomato sauce, for €13.5. The experience was one to remember, and we’re already planning our next visit. For anyone craving a slice of Italy with a side of homely ambiance and excellent service this spot is a must-try.

    This was so good! We've had a salad and pizza to share (2 persons) and it was more then enough. Especially the pizza was very soft and great in flavours!

  • 5/5 Isabella M. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious pizza with seating outside only, but nicely covered from the road with an artsy wall as its backing and greenery overhead. Good prices for the quality and large size of the pizza, the crust was lovely and doughy, traditional neapolitan style! Also, enjoyed a very well made Mai Tai cocktail. I recommend the garlic bread sticks as they were also full of flavour! Would highly recommend and go back!

  • 5/5 Lance S. 3 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    We had a group of six eat here and it DID NOT disappoint! From the appetizers to the pizzas to the desserts, everything got fully eaten and was possibly the best meal we had in Athens during the 3 days we spent there. HIGHLY recommend!!

  • 5/5 Dan A. 9 months ago on Google
    Super tasty pizzas, some of the best we have had in years!! The pizzeria uses Caputo Pizzeria 00 flour, along with Italian sourced meats and cheeses, all of which come together to make a delicious meal! The Bastoncini (garlic bread sticks) are not to be missed!

  • 4/5 Lalos S. 1 year ago on Google
    A real Italian pizza baked on stone oven. I sat on the tables outside but there are tables inside (down the stairs) but keep in mind you may not have phone signal down there. The atmosphere feels that of a restaurant with dimmer lights and a selection of whines on the wall. The service was good, but not great. One woman was clearly bored and I was gonna pay she barely talked to me. The pizza was tasty. The dough was truly delicious but the vegan pizza topics could be light-years better. Just sauce a table spoon of cooked veggies and a mountain of arugula to cover the disaster underneath. If you eat meat and cheese I recommend it, but if you're a vegan select another place.

  • 5/5 Wera M. 9 months ago on Google
    There is a place downstairs and also outside and both of them have great atmosphere! Pizza was delicious, especially Greco (or something like that i don’t remember the name) - third photo.

  • 5/5 Chloe S. 10 months ago on Google
    I've eaten A LOT of pizza in my life in all shapes, forms and places and I can confidently say this is one of, if not the best, I've ever had. We both had a margarita, they were perfectly cooked and each individual ingredient was fresh and delicious. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

  • 5/5 y s. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic pizza, the dough is excellent,good service, very friendly staff

  • 5/5 Paul V. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place to get a tasty pizza cheap and fast! Although there are tons of restaurants and cafes in this area of the city, very few had such a high rating so I decided to give it a try. Was very satisfied both with the pizza and the salad I've got. No wonder this place is rated so high, everything is just as it should be for a place like this!

  • 5/5 Theodore T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice pizza with fresh ingredients.

  • 4/5 Aaron G. 2 years ago on Google
    Yummy sourdough pizza, nice chew to the dough and flaversome. Simple quality ingredients. Nduja pizza hit the spot with good balanceof spice. I did wait over 20 minutes for the pizza, would have been good if they told me this in the beginning. I can see they are going for the classic Italian pizza, but one extra ingredient wouldn't hurt. Good value for money.

  • 5/5 Travis H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great authentic Italian pizza. Love Romana Pizza. A+++

  • 5/5 Oana G. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mateusz J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Italian pizza, served in a few minutes.

  • 5/5 Gregg E. 2 years ago on Google
    Waitress was very pleasant, attentive and efficient. The pizza is outstanding. It is by far the best I've had since Italy a few years ago, and is on par with the best in Naples.

  • 5/5 Nick K. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent little place with normal prices. You should visit just for the quality of the food offered. We tried pizza Bianca and Venezziana, which were both amazing. Would totally recommend. All in all maybe the best pizza in Athens!

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas I ever ate. Very thin dough inside, outside crispy but still not dry with a very soft sweet hint. The tomato sauce was very fresh and fruity and the salami was awesome as well.

  • 5/5 Allison D. 2 years ago on Google
    Some of the best pizza we’ve ever had. Eat here, so worth it!! We had the truffa & salame pizza + Jasmine beer. Absolutely delicious.

  • 5/5 Nicolas Di F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little place 👌 with a large variety of pizza 🍕 to choose from, offering a lovely outdoor accommodation that makes it an original experience. I had a simple Margerita and a prosciutto crudo with rocket salad 🥗 pizza, nice dough and very tastefully prepared. Very kind and helpful staff 👍 who even got me a cab 🚖 🚕. Thanks Rula🙋‍♂️🤩👍

  • 5/5 Ivan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Coe pizzas I had the Vulcana and MARGHERITA and they were amazing! They are very thin pizzas and both my wife and I were able to each have one. Being thin isn't a bad thing. It allowed for them to be ready quickly without losing taste. The bread on it was fantastic. Also had the CAPRESE. Thought it was a salad but didn't matter it was good! Definitely recommend. Know this that there's limited seating and it's all outside.

  • 5/5 Eric M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, nice outside area to sit. The pizza was fantastic…top notch. Also had the lasagna, Personally was not a fan…I would be back for the Pizza.

  • 5/5 Guilhem C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best in Athens. Two fees away from super crowded street, and yet really private with green walls. Napolitano style.

  • 5/5 Christiana S. 1 year ago on Google
    The best pizza I've tried in Athens so far, and I've been living here for the past 7 years so that's amazing!! After this one, I don't like any other pizza I've tried. I take everyone I know there to try it too and everyone has been impressed. The dough is amazing, Italian, just like it should be, the price per pizza is great for this quality and taste!! Definitely a must try.

  • 5/5 John K. 10 months ago on Google
    Great pizza in central Athens. All seating is outdoors (which was pleasant on a clear summer evening, but would be problematic if it was too hot or raining). The crust is fantastic: thin but not crunchy with tender middle. Sauce is tasty with great tomato flavor. Perfect amount of cheese (and it's good cheese). Definitely recommend if you're looking for a casual pizza spot in central Athens
