The History of Athens Pizza in Pointe Claire

A classic neighbourhood Pizza Parlour that was located in The Walton Plaza in Pointe Claire on Montreal's West Island. It was stuck in time. A wonderful place. Sadly it has been bulldozed in the name of "progress".

I lived steps away from Athens for 20 years. I never tried it and now I regret it.

My sister and I used to go to the Hole on a regular basis!

I grew up in Pte -Claire. Peter delivered pizzas to our house in the red volkswagon and then later I recall a yellow car and I went to school with Harry's boys. But what happened to Harry?

[@ThatDarnRobbo1]

I remember the yellow Tercel... Whenever we asked about our phone order how long would it take, the answer was always "20 minutes". And rarely were they ever longer, even in the snow. Great Local Place.

j dixon I went to Northview Elementary with Harry's boys too. Jim And Nick! I lived so close to athens pizza that it was quicker to pick up the pizza than deliver it.

Well I guess Athens is closed once and for all - even the strip mall is going to be demolished. There is a group who wants to name a piece of future green space located in that area "Athens Park".

[@tonyrobertson1038]

We used to call it "The Greek Shop".

[@VEGTheAgingHippie]

I was part of The Athens gang circa 75. Anyone else?

[@ThatDarnRobbo1]

I was informed that Athens has re-opened, with George's son at the helm. Good news indeed if true.

[@ThatDarnRobbo1]

IT"S TRUE!! Athens has re-opened as of September 2014. Check them out on the Web. I must go back for a Za.......

[@Catherin0308]

What ? NO they can't have closed Athens.

[@whaler3232]

I used to live just down the street on Braebrook Ave in the early 90's. I got a paper route when I was 12 and I actually had money. I remember ordering my OWN small Athens special and them delivering it to me. I was so freakin happy.

[@ThatDarnRobbo1]

I have been told that Athens has closed again.... too bad, I want to go back for a za..... so many of us have fond memories of this place!
