Ted's Most Best

Located downtown Ted's Most Best has amazing pizza. Located across from Palomas, it has tons of outdoor seating. If you know downtown Athens, then you know that is rare. It is the perfect place to stop by, after watching a UGA football game across the street on Palomas giant screen. If your parents are in town with your young siblings, there is a sandpit for them to play in. At Teds they have a woodfire grill that makes incredible flatbread pizzas. They have unique flavors of pizza like the la carne which has sausage, prosciutto, meatballs, pepperoni, and smoked gouda mix. Trust me it is delicious. If you live in a student apartment in downtown Athens take a short walk over to Ted's Most Best for some unforgettable pizza.

Automatic Pizza

Automatic Pizza is located on 1397 Prince Avenue, right next to Health Sciences Campus. If you are in an apartment near Health Sciences stop by Automatic, it will not disappoint. Automatic allows you to design your own pizza with up to an 18-inch large. They also have specialty pizzas like the Thunderbird which has white sauce, roasted chicken, green peppers, onions, and artichoke. If that sounds like too much stuff on your pizza, try the Meaty with pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon. You really cannot go wrong with any of Automatic's pizzas.

Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom Athens is located right in the middle of downtown off Clayton Street. On a Saturday it might be impossible to park, so walking is your best bet if you want to try their pizza. They are known for their homemade crust and stone-baked pizzas. The House Special is one of my personal favorites. It has pepperoni, sausage, beef, ham, applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms, black olives, and green peppers. I sometimes get a large one just to save it for future meals because it is so good.
