School Pizza Bar ~ Best Pizza In Athens
- by XpatAthens
- Monday, 18 January 2016
This pizza bar in the centre of Athens has a clever theme, true to its name - School. Seating is available on four separate floors (plus outdoor seating) with a staircase and tables that will surely take you back to your school days.
The menu is rather amusing, with each page offering valuable "lessons". It was quite loud, on account of the Saturday night bustle (also reminiscent of school cafeterias). The only thing that won't remind you of school is the food. School offers the best pizza in Athens, by far! The pizzas are large (8 generous slices), so plan on sharing, especially if you get appetizers. The pizza crust is thin and the amount of cheese is manageable (often not the case with pizza in Greece). We had the Mushroom Pizza (oyster and white mushrooms, smoked Italian pancetta, cherry tomatoes, garlic oil and parsley) which we all agreed was superb.
Appetizers of interest include a very generous charcuterie platter and, what is best described as an alternative take on spanakopita - spinach and cheese mixture wrapped in kadaifi pastry. The dessert selection is nothing out of the ordinary, but Nonna's Cheesecake is promising. The wine selection is average; there are a couple of Italian whites and reds and the rest are Greek wines, all available by the glass or bottle.
Overall, a very positive experience. Can't wait to go again to try another pizza!
