When you start craving a pie, nothing will satisfy you until you’re taking a bite of that cheesy, gooey, hot, fresh slice. Luckily, here in Athens, TX, we have some of the best pizza around on offer, so whether you’re going eat-in or take-out, it won’t be long until your cravings are satisfied.

Pizza on Board

Where to Find the Best Pizza Near Athens, TX

Rounders

Established in 1994, this Athens fixture is loaded with two types of customers: local regulars who know they’re in for a quality meal every time, and those just passing through town and following the sound advice of those in the know. A red and white vintage decorum is decked out with vinyl seats and neon lights to give you the perfect old-school dining experience. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg compared to the food.

Cheesy, hearty pies can be customized from scratch or picked from the specialty menu. Too spoiled for choice? The Pride – AKA Supreme – is packed with flavor, and the Survivor is a must-try for fans of pineapple. They all come on perfect, not-too-thick but not-too-thin crusts. Pair them with fresh, crisp options at the salad bar and excellent sides like saucy chicken wings, and then finish off with the cinnamon sticks, which are crunchy and addictive. You’ll be a regular before you know it.

Roma Italian Restaurant

A three-course meal is pretty much the only option at Roma Italian, where the menu is full of pasta, seafood, and meats alongside mouthwatering pizza. Adornments like red cloth and exposed brick will further transport you, as will a friendly greeting from the staff and perhaps even the chef himself. Adults can enjoy a bar full of options if they’re in the mood for a drink.

The traditional Italian crust is bubbly, salty, and doughy, with simple toppings that pack a punch. They seemingly have every sauce flavor under the sun for their pasta, from creamy to zesty to loaded with veggies, and there are plenty of vegetarian choices. We recommend starting with a plate of fried calamari and finishing with a creamy cannoli. Planning a dinner party at home or family picnic? They also cater, so you can take this delicious show on the road.

Ken’s

Since way back in the 70s, Ken’s has been serving up first-class pizzas on crusty, dough that you can customize; enjoy a thinner crust or go deep-dish if you’re feeling like something a bit denser. Served buffet-style, the options are all classic and the toppings are fresh. A well-stocked salad bar is so enticing and full of variety that getting your greens is easy. The homemade ranch is a particular hit, so make sure you grab some for dipping. There are plenty of desserts up for grabs too.

If you’re already heading out to grab yourself a slice, we don’t blame you. Once you’re stuffed full of cheese and sauce, come check out the quality GMCs and Chevy cars on offer here at Bacon Auto Ranch.
