Athens Pizza and Pasta is located at 22340 Marine View Drive South, Suite A, in Des Moines. As most "Seattle South Enders" know, getting to downtown Des Moines is a bit of a trip. However, the cuisine at Athens Pizza and Pasta is well worth the journey.

Everything from the light and flakey Tyropita (fillo pastry filled with feta cheese and served with a side of tza ziki sauce) to Baklava is made on site using fresh ingredients. It is all delicious and very reasonably priced.
