Greco’s Pizza & George’s Lounge

Great little authentic greek place. The staff is very friendly and the food is good, although a bit heavy and can be too salty.
The first night we came in we ordered the baked onion soup and garlic shrimp for appetizers, were happy with our choices.
For an entrée we shared a medium pizza #21 and enjoyed it as well.
We came back the next night and got the same appetizers which were good again although I must say that the onion soup was a bit too salty.
For a main course my fiancée ordered the baked spaghetti and I got the chicken souvlaki with the baked potato and greek salad.
The baked spaghetti was good but my dish was way too salty, I can understand salty onion soup or even salty chicken but I don’t get salty salad.
It seems like they rely a lot on butter and salt!

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Had the onion soup and Greek pizza. Not much to say except that both were really cheesy and really tasty. The staff was friendly and it’s open late which is a huge plus as well.

The food here for the most part is very delicious. They have daily specials that are all well priced. The staff are all very friendly. The pizza is good with generous toppings. My favourite dish of all time is their village Greek salad. Though the actual restaurant is a little dated it has the charm of a family run business. A great place to grab a meal during the week.

You’d think that a Greek restaurant would make a good Greek salad. It was the only thing I ordered. It was a lot of iceberg lettuce in a soupy dressing, very little feta cheese and veggies were chopped too finely, like they used pizza toppings. My friend had the baked lasagna which was dry, not enough sauce. A real disappointment. Absolutely no care or thought was put into our food. Where’s the love?

Created Unilocal account just to comment. My usual pizza place was closed today so gave Grecos a shot. Was charged $ 55 for a large pepperoni and a large feta, mushroom and spinach, $ 8 of which was a delivery charge. According to Unilocal I live 1.8km away and was charged $ 8! Ridiculous. Even the delivery guy thought that was messed up. The pizza was mediocre at best. Would give 0 stars if I could.

I’ve never had pizza from here that I can remember. I only ever come for the chicken souvlaki. The Chicken is juicy and tender and you get so much on your plate for the price! I can never finish it all which honestly they should probably change their portion sizes especially the sides. It’s good though!
I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve never had a bad meal yet. I’m hesitant on the pizza after reading some of your reviews. That’s okay though I have other pizza loves in my life. The service is always good it’s never too busy. The food doesn’t take that long it’s all good to me.
I had a take out lasagna from here once and it was good too. From what I remember the pasta was on the harder side which I actually like but it’s not for everyone.

We ordered a XL Greek pizza and a large meat pizza for $ 50.00. My bf found it way too greasy, but I thought it was tasty. Lots of topping and a crispy old school type of crust. I preferred the meat pizza over the Greek, which was pretty much like a vegetarian pizza as we couldn’t find any meat. Pricey. I wasn’t crazy about the cheese either. I think I’ll checkout some other places just to compare. Hanni’s is still best in my books. Service on the phone was good.

This place is centerally located. The Pizza is good. The portions on items like the Greek Salad (village or standard) are always generous. My Wife and I often share a Village salad and there Steak and Spagetti special. These two items fill us up with a bit to take home too. I bet we go here 20 times a year and have always been amazed at the freshness and quality time after time. It’s not the fanciest, but the décor is what you expect from a family run Greek place. I’d rather have good food (with generous portions) and standard décor, that crappy food with a million dollar décor. What they are doing here is time tested and seems to work well. When we want delicous greek food and no surprises, we usually go here. BTW there is alot of parking both in front and on the side street around this location.

Seriously… canned mushrooms. I wonder if I even ate at the same place as these other reviewers. I don’t consider canned mushrooms fresh vegetables and for that matter the peppers were sliced so thin they became soggy. Another reviewer said that they don’t put enough sauce on it, I have a sauce stain I my shirt that would argue that. The sauce tasted really weird (sorry I can’t put my finger on the specifics of it) Yes there was a lot of cheese but that hardly makes up for the inferior ingredients. It tasted like it was a frozen pizza. Needless to say I will not be ordering from there again

Tried this place after reading the Unilocal reviews. I did take out, a large half and half pizza. This thing was ready in 20 min, and rang in at about $ 21. Coming in to pick this thing up was great, the staff in this place are super friendly and the lounge half was totally bumping. Looked like a good place to be on a Friday night (kind of reminiscent of the Garneau pub — maybe a little cleaner — as reference for you Edmonton folk out there).
The pizza itself was a heavy, cheese laden beast. The crust is fluffy and thick, which is neccessary to support the load of toppings heaped on it! My pizza was not cut into squares as Matt B.‘s was, which was kind of dissapointing because I was looking forward to that after reading his review! Maybe they only do that on the XL.
I don’t mind this kind of pizza once and a while but it’s really just too much cheese and bread for me. The kind of pizza where you start in on your second slice and wonder if you will be able to get up from the couch when you finish it. I also think it’s better to eat this stuff in house, by the time I got home (10 min drive) the bottom of the box was soggy…

I had a craving a for a large, tasty pizza, so after much searching on Unilocal we settled on this place.
I quite enjoyed the atmosphere here — it seemed familiar somehow. It reminded me a bit of a restaurant I’d worked in before they had done a major facelift.
I’d ordered the onion soup and a 15″ bacon, mushroom, ham, & pineapple pizza. The onion soup was quite good, and far more filling than I’d expected. There was a lot of bread in it.
When the pizza came out, I was surprised at how it was cut — rather than a traditional slice, they had cut a round pizza into squares. And with good reason — this pizza was so loaded with cheese and toppings there is no way one could lift a normal style slice and not have issues with keeping it as one slice. Very good pizza — the leftovers were still delicious a couple days later.
This is definitely another place I can see myself coming back to repeatedly.

Greco’s is always a good time. Came here on a weekend night and were afraid we’d have trouble finding a table but it wasn’t a problem.
French Onion soup was great, though perhaps a little too much bread, and the village salad was awesome, as usual. The portions are big, great value for money.
Both pizzas were well received, sauce is good, lots of cheese and toppings. All in all, Greco’s is a neighbourhood place that I will keep coming back to over and over again. Looks a little dive-​y and the décor is a bit dated but it just adds to the atmosphere.

Quite possibly the best pizza I’ve ever eaten; and that’s saying a lot! What makes the pizza, besides the fresh ingredients, is the delicious sauce! They don’t put very much of it on unfortunately, so I ALWAYS ask for extra sauce!
Everything else that I’ve had the pleasure of tasting on the menu so far has been great as well.
The only real downside is the interior design. A little dated.

Greco’s has the best beef souvlaki in Calgary. Souvlaki comes in many shapes and styles so to clarify, this Souvlaki is in the kebab/​skewer style. When cooked medium rare this is arguably some of the best beef, let alone souvlaki in the city. The dish comes with the best greek salad in Calgary bar none and your choice of rice or baked potato and tzatziki. All in it’s great value and prepared consistently every time. The only downside is that the restaurant is not sexy, it is a basically a family restaurant. But it’s clean, service is good and the food is great. Try it.
