The 15 best cheap eats in Amherst

Great little spot to stop for lunch. The sandwiches were so good! Very welcoming atmosphere and lovely patio to enjoy the summer! The train came by while we were out on the patio too!

Cashman Café is really nice! They have a great drink menu with coffee and matcha options, plus some tasty breakfast choices. We had the blueberry pancakes, which were really good but the wait was sooo long, around 40 minutes just for pancakes. It was on the weekend, so maybe that explains the delay, but still something to keep in mind.

Truly one of the best breakfast/sandwich shops in the area. I used to live in Amherst around 7 years ago and miss this place so much but got to stop in this weekend after a long hiatus. The breakfast sandwiches on a roll are so satisfying and the matcha is really tasty. Almost everything here is. Don’t skip the baked goods. And go look at their salt and pepper shaker collection.

We love exploring Western New England and checking out where locals like to eat. Nothing fancy - just good food, friendly service, and the feeling of community is all we need. Well, Cushman’s delivers on all these. When the parking lot is more than half full at 1pm midweek, you know the place is a local favorite. Per our usual “first time” visit practice, we tried variations of classic favorites (figuring if they can do these well, then we’ll be back to try other items in the future). We opted for the Lilly (a vegetarian BLT on sourdough with avocado) and the Kathy Anne (a Reuben on rye made with grilled tofu) - both were very tasty. The sourdough and rye breads were excellent, although the sourdough could have been toasted a little more for our liking. The Reuben was mouth watering and the OG sauerkraut on it was the best we’ve had in a very long time. It’s also unusual for this reviewer to mention pickles, but the pickle slices served with these sandwiches were not the usual limp afterthought - these were generously-sized, crisp and perfect. We both enjoyed our drinks - fresh brewed tea and a blueberry shrub. All-in-all, two thumbs up! We will definitely be back!!

This little place is a flashback to my hippy days. A market and cozy café, where my friend and I enjoyed a perfectly cooked and served breakfast using homemade bread. Plenty of parking and easy to get to in North Amherst and only 20 to 15 minutes from there to downtown, where we toured Emily Dickinson's home.

Nice place for breakfast, lunch or coffee, with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. The only downside is their internet, which is notoriously erratic; I've found myself unable to access Oxford University's website, while the University of London pops right up, or able to open only a few of a site's sub-pages. So, if you're looking for a place to read a book or grab a snack with friends, this is it. If you need to get work done on your computer, not so much.

Always great food, great people, and great service! I make it a point to stop and grab lunch everytime I'm in the area. Highly recommend!!!

LOVE Johnny’s Tavern. The Brussels sprouts are truly the best I’ve ever had. There are so many great things on their menu that it’s hard to choose a favorite! Love the lemon gnocchi, and the short rib is divine. Save room for dessert because the sticky toffee pudding is phenomenal. They definitely get busy so be sure to make a reservation.

This restaurant is highly recommended! The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it a great choice for family gatherings, dining with friends, or even casual business meals. The staff is warm, attentive, and accommodating to special requests, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. I particularly loved the truffle fries. The portion was surprisingly large, and the crispy fries combined with the rich aroma of truffle made every bite a delight. The portion sizes of the dishes are just right, and both the presentation and taste are impressive. For someone with a regular appetite, the meal is more than satisfying. If you order an appetizer or dessert, you’ll likely have leftovers to take home. Overall, I really like this restaurant and would definitely come back again!

I stumbled upon this gem after my day trip to Springfield. I am very happy that I stopped in. This beautiful little Tavern is aesthetically pleasing and the food is quite good. You wouldn’t expect a tavern to push out this type of intricate cuisine but they are. You won’t be disappointed with the variety of drinks and what the bartenders can whip up and the food from the chefs. Go check this place out. It is on the pricey side for a Tavern but def worth it. Try them out.

We love going out to eat at Johnny's and they are always amazing - tonight however we didn't feel like going out so we ordered in. We got a fave the squid ink pasta, and the kale Cesar. The kale Cesar was fine but I'm glad we got the white anchovies on the side as they they were bad. Also again the squid ink pasta is out fave and I love the spice but this time the spice level was so high it cancelled out all the other great flavors. The muscles and shrimp were fine but the scallops were clearly old so those for thrown out immediately. I really hope it was just an off night.

Second time dining here and another great meal. I got the fish and chips and it was a huge piece with plenty of fries! The fries reminded me of Five Guys fries which I loved! I also got a espresso martini which was decent.

Great cocktails! Every time we come here we have a wonderful experience. Food is awesome, big menu, specials seasonally. Staff is lovely. Great atmosphere. Plenty of seating options-bar stools, bar tables, private dining room, as well as outdoor patio seating. Lots of cute shops & a movie theater within walking distance. Tons of parking. Reasonable prices for great quality. Owned by the same family that own several other great resteraunts in the area. We have sat at the bar, at a bar table, & in the dining room. All are great options. They can handle any size group and we have seen several special occasions celebrated there. Garlic noodles are addictive, I get them every time we go. Decor is cool, lots of old pics of the area as well as family. Nice local hang out, a little on the quieter side. We will continue to frequent this place. In the shopping area surrounding the resteraunt you can find a book store, a really good coffee shop, an apothocary, a clothes store, ice cream shop, sushi place, chinese food resteraunt, deli, and spa. Plenty of handicapped spots in the lot close to the doors. There is even a few cute little courtyards and a fountain you can sit on a bench next to. The surrounding area is the campus of Mount Holyoke College and it is absolutely beautiful to walk around on. Usually lots of students around but quiet and peaceful anyway. Looks like a pretty good public transportation system goes right through here as well. Look out for lots of cross walkers and make sure you follow the speed limit on campus!

Absolutely wonderful place! I brought my honey to see the Emily Dickinson house (she liked it, not my cup of tea) and we decided on lunch here after the tour. We walked up to the restaurant a few minutes before it opened at noon, and there was a line. A good sign, to be sure. We got in and seated as soon as they opened the doors. I had the fried chicken. Having lived in the south for many years, I was eager to see a New England version of it with mashed potatoes and collard greens. They did not disappoint! I’ll be the first to admit these greens are prepared very differently than down south, but they were quite good. The chicken was perfect, as were the potatoes. They have a homemade hot sauce that is to die for! I make my own at home, and this was off the chain. My honey had the fish and chips. Heads up, you get a lot of food on this one! We were a little concerned when it came out because the filet was so big. Usually, when that big, they don’t taste very good…. Not the case here. This was one of the best fish plates we have had, and the fries were great as well. Not cheap, but not too expensive. We will definitely be back.

Good lord. Antonio's is a Top-5 pizza joint in MA - No question. A multitude of unique slices and its all so good. The OG location is not a comfy sit-down place - but the other ones are. It's not just some junky college-haunt. Go try it.

Gave me a moldy soda which I unfortunately drank most of, realized after I left that it tasted off. I can’t stop inspecting the picture, it looks like a used cup that was forgotten until the soda dried and left that nasty film behind. I cannot fathom why a cup like this is in a kitchen unless they pulled it out of the trash for me. The pizza also literally sits out and is reheated to order, that’s two strikes for me and I’m a two striker. Does not taste anywhere close to good enough for that business

It was my first time ever in the East Coast. The staff were incredibly nice and recommended me their buffalo chicken pizza. It was very delicious, and the best part was that it was only 3 dollars on Wednesdays. Overall a very nice and welcoming experience.

A variety of pizza options. Food is delicious. Excellent customer service. Will visit again the next time I’m in Amherst.

Always love going to Antonio’s. So many different varieties of pizza like the avocado nacho pizza which is my personal favorite and tortellini pesto pizza 🍕😋it’s a college town so lots of college students come in. It’s somewhat loud but a casual atmosphere. Perfect for a quick bite for lunch.

Hubby and I had not been here in 20 years since our college days. Our twins are now looking at colleges. Antonio's was even better than we remembered it. All 5 of us found something we liked instantly. Even my 12 year old, who likes pizza w/ veggies, but not cheese, found a great slice of pizza. The slices are huge and 1 slice each filled us up from lunch till dinner time. The slices also stay up while eating (they are crisp crust, not soggy). This is everything pizza is supposed to be. Parking was easy to find. Seating was readily available. Water cups and filling stations is on hand. Service was outstanding, very polite workers. Highly recommend.

I was visiting Amherst from Boston and decided to check out Antonio’s Pizza. I was amazed by how busy it was on a Wednesday evening—it honestly felt like a weekend crowd! They even had some great deals, like $3 slices on Wednesdays. The restaurant itself isn’t huge—just a few tables inside and some outdoor seating—but it still had a lively, welcoming vibe. My local friends told me Antonio’s is a staple in town, especially among college students, and I can definitely see why. The pizza was delicious, and the atmosphere felt fun and energetic. If you’re in Amherst, Antonio’s is definitely worth a stop—great slices, great deals, and a real local favorite.

This is a great place to grab breakfast or lunch! The atmosphere is nice, and the food comes quickly. They have a great variety of options 🙏🙏⛱️😋

Should have checked the sizes for "half" and "full" options before ordering my sandwich; that's okay, though, because my husband ate the other half of my "C'est la Brie" sandwich the next day. I would have expected this kind of sandwich, with brie and roasted red peppers, would have been pressed/warm, but it wasn't. Next time, I would request to have it heated, because when my husband at the other half of what I couldn't, we heated it in the toaster oven. Much nicer that way. He had the Second Avenue and loved it. Mine was missing something; it was fine, but it needed a little oomph. I would probably get the Black Sheep Baguette next time. Overall good experience. Would return. Highly amused at the "retired" politically inspired menu in the back. They should make t-shirts with the black sheep on the front and the emphasis on the "well regulated" on the back.

Cool sandwich spot in downtown Amherst. Quality made fresh.

Felt outta place being a new Yorker until I said something then it was over felt great vibes food awesome. Very affordable was very in shocked. Folks are great that work here make u feel like my neighborhood bagel shop but in its own massachusetts way. Lol enjoy.

My husband and I were in Amherst getting my son settled for college. We were hungry and wanted some breakfast. My son found the Black Sheep online. My husband said the coffee was fabulous! My son loved his turkey sandwich and I had a delicious bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. They didn't have any croissants left in the kitchen so they gave me the last one in the display! They were so accommodating! Many people were in there using the Wi-Fi for their laptops.

Best coffee around. The bagel sandwiches are a crowd favorite. Dont overlook the prepackaged soups, pastries, spreads, etc in the refrigerators. Their croissants and cookies are my personal go-tos.

Apricot Danish. They have the best. I still love this place even after moving away thirty years ago. Glad their baked goods are still high quality.

Many people recommended us to try Judie's Restaurant. It won't disappointed you. The food are very good. This restaurant served a unique bread for each customer. After I ate the salad and the bread already half full. The main dish was good portion. Overall everything was great. Only thing I want to say, the service is slow becuase not enough waitress or waiters. The restaurant is very busy on the weekend. They should hire more wait staffs to shorter the waiting time for the food to come.

I highly recommend Judie's Restaurant in Amherst - certainly 2 thumbs up (or I should say 4 thumbs, as both my wife and I agree on this). My wife had what is termed the "Plain Burger" ... yet it is anything but "plain" in the outstanding quality of all its components, its taste, and kitchen TLC. I chose the the "Bacon, Guacamole and Chicken Salad" which was yet another masterpiece from the kitchen, and rich in ingredients: romaine lettuce, chicken slices, tomatoes, guacamole, egg slices, cheddar, bacon & croutons with a side of Creamy Onion Dressing, served with a Popover!! The service was friendly, attentive and we were never rushed.

Judie's was our favorite spot to hang out, while studying at Umass back in the days. My brother-in-law loved the popovers and applebutter and made a point to stop by Judie's every time we visit Amherst. Sadly he passed away last year. So this popover is for you Eddie!

Really good restaurant, diverse food, drinks and dessert menu, great service, nice decoration, they also have pieces of art exposed. Judie's is famous for its Popover and Apple sauce, highly recommend it.

Very yummy place! The decor is very cute and characteristic. The food is BIG share and very yummy! The price, compare with the size, is very reasonable! I got a gumbo popover, and it's yummy! It tastes a little like a jambalaya, slightly spicy, but even my 2 year old finds it worth trying! =) Great place for brunch and meeting friends

I've realized I never went here while I was actually still in school because it can be a bit pricey for a college student. But I'm glad I came back and tried it out! There are a bunch of items on the menu - I got the little salmon with two sides. The fries were AMAZING. Like thick curly potato wedges. I also got a bloody Mary and was very satisfied seeing as though that was the sole reason we picked here for a late lunch!

I love this place, I pop in everytime that I'm within 2 hours of Amherst - it's worth the drive! The menu is great and never disappoints, but my personal favorite is the chicken/raviolis/walnuts which is SO good! The popovers & apple butter are great to take home with you and reheat later :)

Tasty lobster roll, and the "dirty chai" was good, too! But just good... I liked that the fries were crispy and thick-cut. My partner enjoyed their pasta as well. It's sort of fine-dining, but be it flavor or LIFE, something was missing. Maybe one more try before writing it off 🤔 FYI, it was over $100 for two people to have dinner and share a dessert. Two drinks and tip. The more ya know!

Literally the best food experience me & my best friend have had. We got the burrata and sweet potato fries to start with, and then i got the shrimp risotto and she got the chicken bacon mac and cheese. Everything had actual depth of flavor and was so well put together. I don’t think i’ve had a better meal at any restaurant- and we go out a lot! Plus it’s such a cute little place, the atmosphere is amazing and our server was lovely. Will be recommending to everyone I know! Can’t wait to come back!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience here while revisiting the area in April 2025. I had the BLTA on sourdough, it was a generous portion and prepared perfectly, the thick cut bacon was so good *chefs kiss*. I arrived around noon and there were only two other people. Over 30 people showed up in the next hour! My server Phoebe was the only one tending bar and taking orders, and she absolutely crushed. Everyone got top tier service, myself included. The kitchen was on point too, with great food coming out on time. I really miss high horse, but if you’re looking for something similar, this is a great option. Highly recommended!

Bistro 63 was a lovely little place to eat. I truly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. Be aware anything that says "Tomato" is probably red sauce and not just tomatoes in it. Their Shrimp & Avocado Salad is amazing! The Burrata is amazing as well!

On Sunday I visited the restaurant to see my favorite bartender, Phoebe, and wasn't sure what I was in the mood for so i asked her for custom cocktail with a prompt that i was looking for something light and refreshing. She worked her magic per usual and made me a cassis drink with mint, gin, and lavender. It was divine! Exactly what i was looking for ! If you need a great bartender that knows what you want more than you do then go give Phoebe a visit! Definitely a great place for a special drink!

Certainly serves the purpose for having a hamburger and a beer and hanging out with a friend. Enjoyed the evening.

Warm service that made us feel welcome! The food was good and filling, and the portions felt perfect. I got the jerk chicken which I thoroughly enjoyed, though wasn’t the biggest fan of the rice and beans having a risotto-like consistency (tasted good though). I always get the butternut squash and apple soup to start— one of my favorites!

Hit or miss on their deli products. A great bakery for sure. Great place for birthday cakes. But we've been coming here for years always a great stop on our way back home on route 116.

Best bakery in western mass!! Cakes, bagels, cider donuts…you name it. You’ll be coming back every day!! Fresh produce, deli, meats, fish, frozen foods and a great selection of wine and beer

One of the best farms market! H7ge selection of fresh products. Great selection of snacks and drinks. Also, they have very good hotel apple cider. Their pastries absolutely delicious! Big viaraty of salads and sandwiches. They have food on to go and made for order.

This place is AMAZING. In addition to the awesome grocery store featuring fresh local produce, they have a bakery and dining area where I enjoyed a delicious hot apple cider and pumpkin donut. Perfect activity on a crisp autumn day. Check them out if you are in Western MA.

Like enterring into a fall wonderland. The pumpkins, mum's and cornstalks are so picturesque. Great produce selection to pick from--fresh corn, butternut squash, peppers, celery, and, etcetera. Great quality and price. Customer service was superb

Best place ever! Atkins catered the getting ready portion of my wedding day with breakfast and lunch. Each meal option was perfect and matched everyone’s needs! They also did our wedding cake, apple cider donuts, and mini maple syrup favors! Everything was great quality, great presentation, and tasted phenomenal. I also go here just for fun to eat or shop!

Great variety of produce. Excellent bakery options. Good selection of beer and wine. Must get the cider donuts, 10/10! This place truly has it all. Cute outdoor seating in the summer complete with a nice ice cream shop.

Mission Cantina in Amherst absolutely delivered! I ordered the Burrito Ahogado and it was excellent—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and super satisfying. The chips with pineapple jalapeño salsa were a great start—fresh, crispy, and that salsa had the perfect balance of sweet and heat. The bartender wasn’t overly friendly, but she did check on us a couple of times and made sure we had what we needed. The overall atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the food definitely made up for any small service hiccups. All in all, a great experience and I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

Food was tasty and atmosphere was great. My husband and I have been coming here for years now. I guess not anymore. We are a big fan of their tacos. However, today, there was hardly any meat in them. Usually in the past we wouldn’t be able to close the tortilla because of the portions.

authentic, fresh, delicious. staff is very friendly and focused! we went on a busy night so service was a bit slow but definitely didn't ruin our time.

Mission Cantina have the best tacos! I love the tasty meats, the fresh tortillas, flavorful salsas, great drinks. Best of all is the fun atmosphere and excellent service!

Best nachos I’ve ever had. Not traditional, probably, but who cares when they’re that good? Dark, casual restaurant. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Food was amazing and a great portion. Menu is limited. The guava mojito wasn't good, I only tasted the alcohol. Their chips were cold, and you have to buy the sauce separately,and it's not even enough for the huge number of chips. They give you a little pitcher of water, but no glass with ice, and the water tasted like the literally just got poured from the faucet. At least give some ice. Server was nice.

The food is very good but the prices are not family friendly -Tacos (charging $6/ street taco style and no sides included) few drinks, side of rice beans, chips Salsa was $100+. Probably won’t come back because it’s hard to swallow that bill.

Highly recommend the Biang Bang Noodles, or another dish with the handmade noodles. The noodles are made to order, and there is a good amount of meat on them. I had the Hot & Sour Vermicelli Soup, but it had minimal meat, was not sour and was not spicy (don't recommend). Small resturant with 8~ tables inside, but quick service and accepting of Allergies. All handmade noodles are NOT glutenfree, Vermicelli were made from potatoes.

We hesitated to walk into this little restaurant but we walked with no other thought than we made a good choice. The food is good and they have specials that used in season, fresh ingredients. This means that the owners care about their offerings and brings the best to customers. We had the garlic bolt pork stir-fry, Biang Biang noodles, and sour soup dumpling, all are delicious.

Authentic and delicious! I came here on my birthday because in Chinese tradition we eat noodles for longevity. The noodles tasted just like home—so authentic. After two years in the U.S. and usually cooking for myself, this little spot truly surprised me. Highly recommend!

I had the #2 Biang Biang Noodles with stewed pork. It was really good and the portion was great too. I love how the noodles were chewy and wide. The #7 Sao Zi Noodle Soup had a nice sour broth that I enjoyed too.

I went to UMass for my graduate degree and loved frequenting this restaurant. Some friends and I came back to the region to reminisce and hit all of our favorite places. So obviously we came here. Still the same owners/staff. They're always so friendly and so sweet. And of course the food is to die for. I have not found one item I dislike. I always recommend everyone come to Lili's for dinner. Absolute best!

Lili's is a unique Chinese restaurant experience with the famous hand pulled noodles. I enjoyed dumplings and scallion pancakes as well as several other dishes overall, not as spicy as I expected. The service was very friendly, the seating is very Spartan and extremely limited for dine in. For the past 4 years this has been my daughter's most favorite restaurant in Amherst.

A small family-run place and has the best handmade noodle in the northeast US.

One of the best experiences I have ever had with a restaurant for catering orders! I regularly place large orders for a class I manage here at UMass Amherst! I have never had such a seamless and beautiful experience! I am sitting here writing one of the only reviews I have ever written in my life, because I just felt I needed to share the experience! WOW! I arrived a few minutes early to pay and the bring out the food, Hot and ready to go! Everything was labeled and ready to go! The gentleman working the register was the most kind soul, offering to load it in my car and he even offered a free dessert and drink for me! What an amazing business and more than anything, what amazing people! I am at a lack of words to more accurately describe this experience, but I will just leave it at delicious and extraordinary! 100000/10 experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (The photo does not do it justice, this was just some of the delicious, huge portioned, well labeled food! Oh and the price 🤯out of this world deal!)

Best gyro we’ve had in decades! The falafel was outstanding with a good crisp to the pieces and flavorful thru out. We had the pita chips with hummus and the container of hummus was more than we could eat. Deliciousness! Absolutely delightful. We saw a lot of locals there as it appeared to be popular. I can’t recommend this place more. The fella running the place was super nice and accommodating.

Fresh, high-quality, delicious food at a very reasonable price. They are very friendly, kind, and generous. The falafel here is beyond the word.

I cannot more strongly recommend Pita Pockets. Hands down the best falafel I've ever had. The owner/chef is unbelievably friendly and makes you feel right at home when you walk in. Everything is very reasonably priced as well. Will certainly be coming back.

Came here for the falafel (pita pocket and plate, both delicious btw) but keep coming back cause the service is exceptional. The owner clearly cares about his customers and you can tell he loves sharing the food he makes w others. Plus it's pretty affordable, so highly recommend!!

The best customer service and the best falafel (honestly ruined all other falafel for me). Tons of vegan options, super affordable, small selection of Syrian pantry items and high quality, delicious food every single time I order. Go to Pita Pockets Amherst!!

This is the best flafel pita I have had it has so many amazing vegetables and great protein options. They are so friendly and it is a family run buissness. When I went away to college I said good bye to my friends family and pita poket family. They are that friendly and very kind.

I've been coming here for a decade and the burritos just seem to keep getting smaller and smaller. The food is amazing but today was the final straw when the burrito is smaller than my hand. Don't think I'll be coming back.

An outstanding establishment, plain and simple. Recommended to me by a friend, I luckily had some time while in the area to stop in for some lunch. Their menu is diverse with lots of savory options. I opted to split two burrito with a friend, so we got the Chicken Bacon Ranch burrito, and the Brisket burrito, both with medium sauce. Both options had intense and real flavor and were hefty portions of food. The horchata was delicious and fresh and a great pairing for the burritos. The service was brisk, staff were friendly, environment was clean, and atmosphere full of charm and coziness—from the alleyway entrance to the dimly lit and well-decorated seating area.

On a day where it was not busy at all (8/5/25), I'm very disappointed. 1. Food was scheduled for 5:25 and was ready 20 minutes early. 2. As a result, the food was soggy, and the order was incorrect. Both items didn't have Chipotle. 3. We ordered guac, but it was clearly mashed avocado with nothing else. I expect WAY better for $42 w/ tip.

Incredible burritos, came out so fast and were sooo tasty. Really big portion size too. Staff were very sweet, we’ll definitely be back

Stopped in for a quick lunch, I ordered the brisket tacos. Absolutely delicious! Very nice texture and bright flavors indicate fresh ingredients. The tomatillo salsa was also very good, I mixed it with my rice and beans. The grilled jalapeño was tasty, pretty much what you would expect.

First time visiting. Diverse menu posted on the wall. Ordered, paid and given slip for order. Food was freshly made for each order and served up promptly. Tables were available for seating or limited stools at counter. Place was clean and food smelled wonderful. Place was casual, not large but comfortable seating. Food was excellent and large portions. Fountain soda and non-alcoholic drink selection in case. Choice of hot, mild sauces, self serve. Extra napkins available. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Really great place to eat, will be going back!

We had a plate with turmeric rice and chicken and baby spinach. It was tasty but the rice felt dry. But then again it's a quick takeout place so what can you expect? The people were very nice

They donated four party-sized cheese pizzas to us at Craig’s Doors in Hadley/Amherst. The pizzas were delicious and the guests absolutely loved them!

Great New York style pizza-- this from a born and bred New Yorker. Plenty of toppings to choose from. The folks who work there are very friendly. There are a couple of outside places to sit, but nowhere inside.

The nicest people with the greatest service and great quality. Sibie's sustained me through my four years of college and I continue to order from them regularly years after graduation. Tons of toppings and great choices for dietary restrictions. Truly the best.

Love the vegan pizza and tofu nuggets here. Florentine is amazing style. Adam and Erin are remarkable in hospitality and service. Glad I came here and will spread the word.

Sibie's is our favorite pizza in the valley! Such amazing variety of toppings, everything homeade, and great service too! Also love that there are also other foods besides judt pizza, if we're in the mood for something else. Can't wait to try the spinach crust next time!

This is a family run business by a local family. The owner George and his daughter is there every day making everything from the best ingredients. A lot of what they have is also local! GREAT vegan and vegetarian options as well! Try the spinach and whole wheat crust!

This place doesn't just have good pizza or the best sausage grinder in Amherst. It has the nicest people which technically makes the food taste better.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I ordered 2 small steak and cheese subs, and there was almost no steak in either sub. I took all the steak from one small sub and it was enough to make one half of a small sub, so I basically paid $30 for one small sub and 2 drinks. They absolutely rip you off on the amount of food they give you!!!!

pizza by the slice is good and generous portion. The grinder was good but skimpy in portion for the cost of 14+. i recommend higher profit by volume of sales with lower prices. not by smaller portions .

Went in there to get a roast beef grinder came out with one slice of roast beef one thinly cut tomato. That is so thin. It was like a razor blade same thing with the letters same thing with the onion. Everything I ordered was sliced so thin and then I asked them to toast it Came out disgusting try to eat. It threw it out the door going down the road charge me $14 per a roast beef grinder with one slice of roast beef. All these pizza shops were sold to a group of people Antonio’s Primos. They’ll be out of business in a couple months. The food’s disgusting don’t waste your time and the flies coming in and all over the pizzas. Disgusting.

I heard a lot about ordering food to deliver to the University due to the cold weather and school restrictions. I found Amherst House of Pizza, I called them want to order a heart sharp pizza for my son in Valentine's Day. They said, yes we do & do you want any message too. Wow that's what I want to surprise my son. I ordered a large pizza, onion ring, mozzarella stick, chicken Parma with Pasta dinner. I told them charge me everything included deliver fee and tip. The deliver guy was very on time. When my son opened the pizza and the food. He was so happy. The food still warm and so tasty. Support local business they're very good and very efficient. Highly recommend to everyone.

Great pizza house, open till 2AM on weekends. Good selection of slices always available, and good bread for the subs. I had the "chicken crispy" sub today and it was excellent.

Don't order the wings. Dry and underseasoned wings with a truly awful honey mustard sauce poured on top after the wings finished. They also forgot to give me my side order of buffalo sauce.

The food here used to be good. Slowly but surely the quality has disintegrated. What I find every time I might order a toasted grinder it's more like lukewarm. If I wanted lukewarm mushy Brad instead of toasted.That's way I'd order it. I have said something a couple times already. Suggestion, if you wanna grind your toasted, tell them well done. Are you'll get mushy, Brad?

I would give this place a 0 stars if I could. Today I came in with my service dog and my family of 6 +1 ($70 order) I was immediately approached by a man stating “ you cannot have dog in restaurant you must leave “ without hesitation and in a rude manner. He starred me down as I placed my $16 dollar lasagna oil soup (see picture) immediately after order I ended up leaving with my service dog and waited for the worst dinner of day. If it wasn’t for my kids being hungry and this the only place open, I would not have ordered their mediocre tasting food. NOT SERVICE ANIMAL FRIENDLY!

Quick, friendly service - but truly terrible pizza; possibly the greasiest I have ever had in my life. Really upset my stomach. Might have been tolerable if I hadn’t ordered bacon as a topping; I’m guessing they didn’t blot the grease before putting it on. The gluten free crust was fine; my partner’s regular glutinous crust was also fine, though if you don’t like the fried Pizza Hut-style crust you might not love this one either.

$11 for a "steak" wrap that is mostly cheap lettuce.

i havent eaten in athenas, not since it was Bell's Pizza. However The food is very consistent & good. The only complaint i ever had was too much cheese on a pizza, which is like complaining about delivery being too fast. ID definitely suggest their Sub's, theyre great.

At my roommate recommandation, I decided to try Athena’s Pizza food. Ordered some buffalo wings and the Five Cheese Calzone. Everything was delicious 😋

Ordered a half buffalo half cheese pizza, received a full buffalo. The pizza itself was pretty poor. Hardly any cheese or sauce. The side order of mozzarella sticks tasted "fresh" from the microwave - only shortly after coming out of the box. Even with the quality of service and food being poor, the prices were still pretty high. I would suggest choosing a different pizza joint in town.

Amazing soft but crunchy crust, not too greasy, amazing flavor. Great staff! Super fast and reminds me of authentic New York pizza!

I ordered a steak and cheese,& it was great. The lady who took my order was so sweet and when I told her I was lil bill the rap god she seemed so happy so that for 1 is a great thing that she is all about being smiley and the fries were good.

Always great service and great food! We loved our graduation party! Thank you, Rebecca:)

Thank you so much!! The manager was really really sweet, and she took great care:) The pizza rings and people here are the BEST!😊🎈🎈🎊

Don’t listen to these other good reviews. Here is a “half chicken half Mac n cheese pizza”… not even close to what’s shown on the website.

I literally just had the best burger and fries of my life. Randomly popped in for the first time. The owner was very sweet and our orders were absolute perfection. Highly recommend.

Just came off the plane exhausted from GA and everything seemed to be closed in the area. I was excited to see this place open. My boyfriend told me this place was great. We order online and had bit difficult with the app refreshing. Order Tuna sandwich and steak and cheese pizza ring. The pizza ring with no peppers, onions or sauce. Upon returning home and ready to eat we discovered sauce was on the pizza ring. I called them and told them the sauce was on there. They refuse to remake the pizza ring because I was told it was my fault that it didn't show up on their order. I know I was very careful bc the person eating it is allergic to the sauce. I tried to explain I did put no sauce but to them it was my fault. So we spent a ridiculously amount on a sandwich with no sides included and a pizza ring. Very disappointed with their customer service

Are you intoxicated and a college student? If you answer yes to either this is a great spot with tasty food. I recommend the tots and the buffalo grinder. A fantastic college dive restaurant for late night eats. The hours are for college kids and late at night it will be filled with clientele who answered yes to both questions that started this review.
