The drive from the airport to my house via Rocky River drive is interesting to say the least. Car rental area, projects, abandoned storefronts, and overall misery give way to a nicer old neighborhood once you cross Puritas. This unassuming pizza shop sits between there and Kamm's Koroners. I am drawn to places with names like "Athens" or "Etruscan Emperor" as they offer some aura of Mediterranean splendor. It's only a storefront pick up joint, so the decor is pretty plain. They do have some generic "starving artists" paintings of Greek villages and baseball trophies on display. Apparently, they beat the Indians a few times.
Pretty extensive menu for such a small place. I ordered the 8 cut "Athenian" pizza which is gyro themed(onion, tomato, white sauce). I left the meat out which makes me a hippie douche. They did include the yogurt sauce on the side. This was good for dipping the fried mushrooms in. I can't replicate that gyro sauce at home to save my life. Love that stuff. Also got an order of cheesy breadsticks. Total was 20. All was filling, and the service was friendly.
I got to wait for my order sitting on my car while watching all the planes fly overhead to land at Hopkins. Not as close to the ground as that scene in Wayne's World, but close enough to get a kick out of it.
