ATHENS PIZZA

Menu: full menu, but with an abbreviated dessert menu

What’s new: take-and-bake kits ($35); options include baked spaghetti, chicken tetrazini, eggplant Parmesan, lasagna and veggie lasagna, plus Greek salad and garlic knots. Also available: gyro kits ($35) and pizza kits ($10$12); all kits feed four. Alcohol: beer and wine

What I ordered: Yiayia’s Gyro Bites; meatball appetizer; pastitsio, with a side of avgolemono (Greek lemon chicken soup) and spanakopizza; Santorini Special pizza; chicken kebab platter; baklava. Get ready to fill up without breaking the bank when you order from Athens Pizza. Meatballs are big, fat, tender, juicy and in a flavorful marinara sauce. The pastitsio is a huge portion, and comes with a spanakopita wedge, plus a side (I’m a fan of lemony avgolemono, but Athens’ Greek salad is exceptional when tossed with Mama P’s dressing — which is so good, they bottle and sell it). The specialty pizzas offer delicious Greek flavors; the Santorini stands out for briny Kalamata black olives and tart-sweet sundried tomatoes. Pizzas range from 6 inches to 16 inches.
