Like an irrefutable demand that finally found someone to fulfill it, the School Pizza Bar has been combining an exceptional all-day gastronomic experience for over a decade, awakening within us a childhood filled with carefree moments. Its ‘desks’ have hosted a diverse crowd, foreign and Greek, who ‘learn’ about Italian cuisine, brunch, after-office aperitivo, choosing it for its casual, unpretentious vibe, the lively atmosphere of Agia Irini Square, and, of course, for the dynamism of its kitchen and bar, which exudes timeless flavorful vibrations with each bite and sip.
A good day starts with a delightful specialty coffee, exclusively crafted for the School Pizza Bar. Brunch is a daily ritual with various egg dishes, mouthwatering pancakes, and other goodies. Surrounded by plenty of greenery – hanging plants that transport you to a courtyard where you might have shared your first kiss or secretly made a cheat sheet, hiding it under your shorts. The imposing pantry with its dazzling red neon sign has been a hallmark of the place, widely featured on Instagram.
More than anything else, pizza at the School Pizza Bar embodies the most umami flavor. No other sinful pleasure gathers such powerful emotions in a bite: the slow-melting cheese, premium ingredients, the unbeatable Neapolitan dough – everything the hunger of a person craves in one word, textures crispy, resisting, melting, chewy. You’ll discover this in the simplicity of a Prosciutto, with mozzarella, prosciutto, fresh tomato, and basil, simply divine.
And then there are the light and delicious pasta dishes, like tagliatelle with tomato pesto, crispy prosciutto, and Burrata mozzarella, linguine with smoked eggplant cream and black Angus beef. In the main dishes, you will find meats at their best, with choices such as rib-eye steak, Tomahawk 700 gr., black Angus Tagliata, served with grilled vegetables and baby potatoes.
This ‘magical’ gastronomic journey to the land of Caesars and gondoliers alone is an awakening for a beautiful wine pairing. Their wine cellar offers choices for every taste, many available by the glass, featuring both international and local vineyards. What could be better than an after-office plateau with a cool glass of wine or a bottle with gnocchi or risotto as a break after shopping and strolling?
No matter where in Athens we search, no place can compare to the ideal landscape of the School Pizza Bar, a piece of that magical, childish age that will never cease to exist, awakened by its cool atmosphere and exceptional suggestions, tailored for each individual. You’ll also find it at River West Mall!
