Courtside Pizza

Food is great when it's hot, ordering ahead for take out is the way to go though. When the place isn't crazy busy the pizza by the slice can get a little "old" sitting out. The service is really good. It's even better when the students are gone for the summer though as it's a lot more relaxed. Overall a must stop shop.

Sunday, July 7th, 2019 Tony and I went for a driver in Ohio to Boord Nature Preserve in Cutler, Ohio. So, we stopped in Athens afterwards for lunch. We stopped at Courtside Pizza, ordered a Florence Pizza with Garlic Butter Sauce, Chicken, spinach, tomatoes, onions and 3 cheeses feta, mozzarella and parmesan. Along with a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. I had Pepsi and Tony had a PBR. We paid $25 tax, tip and all. Food was very good.

Horrible subs. Ordered a Meatball sub with extra cheese, extra meatballs and extra pepperoni and a Pizza Sub with extra cheese, extra mushrooms and extra pepperoni both toasted heavily and loaded potato chips. What I got was a Meatball sub with 4 meatballs, light on the cheese and very little pepperoni and on the Pizza sub very little mushrooms and pepperoni's. Both looked toasted but the bread was far from toasted. It was very soft and squishy. The meatballs looked burnt and were very dry. This was for take-out and oh the music was so loud the counter person and I could barely hear each other even being less then a foot away we had to talk so close. The loaded potato chips were just as bad. They were half if that loaded. And I saw about 4 pieces of bacon on the chips. This place is horrible. Luckily I am not a college kid who's drunk cause I won't be eating there again.

Went during the summer on a week night so the place was dead. Nice to have the outdoor patio to ourselves. Bartender was nice and accommodating and they still had fresh pizza by the slice. A craft beer was $3.50 which is one of the benefits of being on a college campus again. I've been here on a Saturday night during spring semester and it's slammed but lends its self a fun atmosphere for partying.
