Athanasios Chris Karamesines set out to fulfill his dream of becoming a pizza restaurateur. Chris, the Greek part of Greek's Pizzeria, was born in Chicago and developed a taste for good food at a young age. His father, who traveled to the United States of America in 1919 from a small village in Greece, foresaw the endless opportunities America had to offer.
The Karamesines family has been in the restaurant business since 1922 and no matter the name of each location, over the years the neighborhood customers commonly stated "let's just eat at the Greek's." Chris, who opened his first restaurant (diner-style) when he was only 14 - later became a self-taught professor of pizza, earning his home- baked degree by studying in the kitchens of top- notch operations across the country.

Great food but just had a terrible experience. Waited an hour for two sandwiches. There was a new server and they forgot to alert the cooks to our order. Frustrating, but I understand. The mgr (or whoever was doing the training) came over to apologize. However, it still took some 20 minutes for the food! Have dined in twice before and never had that wait. We should have been offered a discount or a coupon but even get a sorry at time of check out. Very disappointed and don't plan to go back. Sad part is the food is good.

Best pizza i have ever had for sure. Only issue i have had hear is the wait. I called once for a pickup to let them know i was there and they said they would bring it out because it was done. they didn't bring it out for 30 minutes. Then i called again and they said the same thing and made me wait longer. i went on till i ended up going inside and asking them for it.

HORRIBLE SERVICE. Absolutely horrendous. DO NOT COME HERE.
I ordered a curbside pickup meal that was coming out a bit late. No worries. 15 minutes after the estimated time I called them but they hung up. I waited a bit longer then decided to go into the restaurant. Talking to the women at the front desk, she denied hanging up and made excuses like she was busy and the only one there. I could see there were other employees and few customers. During the whole exchange she didn’t even apologize once.
That would be fine if there was no tip; some pleases just have bad customer service. But what

I placed an online order at 5:25pm with delivery by 7pm. I received a text at 6:39pm that it was on its way. At 7:10,when I still hadn't seen my order I called & spoke with a manager that told me the only received the order 61 minutes prior (not almost 2 hours) and it had gone out the door 17 minutes prior (which is still took long considering I live 1 mile away). When I voiced my concern about the longer than stated wait AND extended time my pizza had been out & that it would be cold, Kurt said he would resend it but couldn't offer a timeline. After almost 2 hours of waiting

Bring back the old owners.
Terrible experience. Ordered online. Showed up 5 minutes after order was suppose to be ready. Some guy (I assume the owner because everyone else was very young) tells me sorry, not in the oven. Should be 10 minutes.
30 minutes later I get the pizzas and a bunch of excuses why it took so long.
Watched two people ask for a refund.
Not about the $$$, 100% about the service.
Don't buy a spot if you don't know what you are doing.
Terrible. Avoid.

I placed my first order from Greeks today and the order was delivered early and the pizza was hot and fresh. I ordered the Better-Terranean pizza and it was delicious; the combination of the pizza sauce, salty olives, feta cheese and banana peppers hit the spot. The crust is exactly how I like it, thinner but not crispy, still had the perfect chew without being too bulky. I can't wait to try other items on the menu!

We ordered a couple of pizzas last night. The crust was awesome and the pizzas were loaded with toppings. We both preferred the ROMA pizza, it was exceptional. All this being said the best part of the amazing service on the phone, follow-up when the order ready, and delivery to our car. This Greeks in Westfield was amazing. I am not a fan of paying extra for pizza, but this was well worth it.

Best breadsticks around! Love the nightly specials! Good service too. Love this place. And we hear the patio is dog friendly. Can't wait to try it
Greeks moved to their new location this summer and it's a much nicer spot! Big screen TVs for Saturday or Sunday afternoon football games. Well, maybe not big screen but TVs. Still the same great bread sticks! The patio is so nice in the summertime covered by a pergola. Parking remains troublesome when the neighborhood businesses get busy as its limited but being younger, I can easily ealk a block.
New favorite pizza. Spicy bacon

My family and I chose to visit Greek’s Pizzeria when we were on a family walk. We had heard great things about it. I was impressed with all the food and the freshness. My favorite part personally was the way they made a “custom” pizza for me with no crust. This allowed me to really enjoy pizza as a diabetic, something I disclosed. I was so thankful for their willingness to work with my dietary needs without complaining or giving me a difficult time. Service was excellent and they were patient and helpful with our children. Bravo Greeks!

My first visit at this location which has been open for six months or so. I LOVE Greek's but usually go for lunch at the Fisher's location.
At 5:00 pm I am the only diner in the clean and tidy dining room. This location seems to do a brisk take out and delivery business although perhaps not as much dine in. In fact, when I walked in the employee who greeted me asked what the name was on my carry-out order. When I said I wanted to dine in he seemed a little surprised. Hmmm. Guess not many people opt for the opportunity to dine in.
So I waited at the table for a few minutes, not

Surviving off Greeks Pizza Broad Ripple for a number of years, I feel a rush of nostalgia with Greeks Westfield. Everything starting with a very solid traditional crust pizza (coated in garlic butter) to the epic meal time that is The Shell, I've never been disappointed with Greeks.
Some great points to know, FREE delivery, the Wings Pizza, the breadsticks, oh man the breadsticks, Super friendly staff, head down Park Street to get some of Westfields best pizza!
