I honestly am not sure what they are trying to accomplish here with the pizza. It’s not Neapolitan style, it’s not New Yorks style and it is not good. I watched the pizzialo for about an hour and a half and I have several recommendations for this establishment because you guys need help! First the dough balls are too big. Too much semolina was used to stretch the dough and the stretching method was incorrect. Slap and pull… not stretch and turn. Picking the stretched pizza up off the counter to transfer to the peel also incorrect. No flour onto the peel and the pizzialo seriously struggled to launch as a result. Pizza peel handles are far too long for the size of the kitchen by at least 2’ resulting in chaos to move around inside a tight space. Cut them down! The bottom was totally undercooked as the pizzialo transferred the pie to a baking tin halfway through the cook! I almost fell off my stool! Of course it’s under cooked and no olive oil on-top to help get a nice bake either. They didn’t turn the pizza as it was cooking so the crust was burnt in places and had zero leoparding other places and the staff didn’t have access to a proper turning peel! Way too much cheese ontop and cut down way too small ontop of an undercooked crust resulted in a hot floppy wet mess on the plate. Served garlic crème on the side… you should never have to do this if the pizza was made correctly. I shouldn’t need a dipping sauce to make this pizza edible. Mortadella was cut way too thick. Omg so many mistakes. I am here putting this effort in not to dis the place but to try and get the owner to reach out to a professional pizzialo and rehaul your entire process. You could be making better pizza w/ less ingredients and charging the same prices making more profit if you do it properly! What I witnessed at your establishment today was not pizza making… I even took the time to watch the next pizzialo come in and work and I can see the methods being taught here are incorrect. I’m giving this place a two star review because the other menu items looked much better. The folded over sando’s looked nice and the bakery side also looked excellent. As for the pizza alone I would rate this place a one star. You got the equipment. You have quality ingredients. Your method is completely wrong. Reach out to a professional pizzialo and get some help cause it could be so...

Read moreWannabe hipster money trap with incredible inpolite, unwelcoming and ignorant staff. Cinnamon rolls are dry, Sourdough bread will cost you 7 Euros per Kilo and instead of a beautiful sour taste you'll enjoy a burnt - straight out black - crust. When asking the staff if there is a less 'crunchy' bread available, skater boy will tell it is supposed to look and taste this way. - Maybe you should check out some videos online..would be better if you told me that comes with the craftsmanship. But then again, this shop does not know how to even spell that. Red-haired girl is by far the most unpleasant employee in the shop. Shouting at customers, ignoring customers and the only one-word sentence she likes to repeat is 'Next. Next. Next.' Bad customer service at its best and worst customer experience as well. They might as well just use a vending machine, at least they do not purposely aggravate you and seem a better fit than two antisocial figures. Might even cut enough costs to place someone in the kitchen who knows what they are doing. Sad, as when they started out Sourdough bread was something I missed from home. Thankfully there are other great places in Athens now where the bread costs half, is not burnt and the employees actually enjoy what...
