FARGO — Athena's Pizza, a new Greek-style pizzeria, is expected to open in December at 3402 13th Ave. S., the spot formerly home to Dickey's Barbecue Pit.

Owner Lynn Stevenson owned restaurants on the East Coast before moving here 13 years ago.

"I didn't see a lot of 'mom and pop' restaurants (here) at the time. I was a little scared to open, but now I'm like, 'It is time. Here we go'," Stephenson told The Forum Monday, Oct. 27.

Stevenson said the gourmet and specialty pizzas will be made fresh and in-house daily. And pizza is not the only thing on the menu.

"I do hot subs like steak and cheese, cold cut subs, steak tips, chicken fingers, pastas and lasagnas," she said. "I'll also do Greek dishes like spanakopita (a traditional Greek savory spinach pie) and gyros."
