In 1988 three young college students met in Athens and discussed the most pressing issue of the day – where to find truly great pizza?
After much consideration the engineer said, “let’s build it”, the biologist said, “with the right ingredients”, the artist said “and make it look good” – and DePalma’s Athens was born!
Over the decades the kernel of our endeavor was expanded until it encompassed the fuller concept that currently exists. With four locations, thousands of friends and family and millions fed over the years DePalma’s Italian Café stands today, still evolving and growing organically – the rarest of the rare, a truly multi-generational restaurant, a living breathing part of the community.

Home of the Athens YMCA from 1889 until 1919, the original building on this site became a music store, movie house, hotel, Masonic Temple, furniture company and Sears Roebuck store before being replaced by the Elite Theatre in 1935. Except for a brief period as a Methodist church, this theatre – later renamed the Georgia Theatre – has served as a significant performance venue for emerging and established musicians from Athens and beyond. Devastated by a fire on June 19th, 2009, this historic concert hall has been rebuilt as a labor of love with reverence for the creative spirit that Athens has long embraced. With special thanks to the people of Athens and all who worked so diligently to restore her and make her better, the Georgia Theatre stands proudly reborn.”
