About
Tucked in the quiet village of Ippeio in the northeastern reaches of Lesvos, Pizza Cafe Argyris is the kind of neighbourhood spot that travellers often stumble upon and end up returning to. Serving freshly made pizzas alongside café staples, it offers a welcome pause for anyone exploring the olive-grove-draped hills and traditional settlements of this lesser-visited corner of the island.
What makes a place like Argyris worth seeking out is precisely its local character. In a region where tourism remains unhurried and authentic, village cafes serve as genuine gathering points for residents and curious visitors alike. A stop here is as much about absorbing the rhythm of everyday Lesbian life as it is about the food itself — strong Greek coffee, a cold drink, or a wood-fired slice shared with the easy warmth that the islanders are known for.
For travellers making their way through the interior of Lesvos or heading toward the northern coast, Ippeio sits conveniently off the beaten track, rewarding those who venture beyond the main tourist routes. Pizza Cafe Argyris provides exactly the kind of simple, honest hospitality that defines the island experience — a place to rest, refuel, and connect with the quieter, more personal side of Lesvos.
Before you go
What to expect
The smell of baked dough and strong Greek coffee hits you before you even sit down — this is a neighbourhood spot where chairs scrape slowly across the floor and no one is in a hurry. Order a pizza fresh from the oven or a cold frappe and let the village pace settle over you. Locals drift in and out, making it as much a social hub as a place to eat.
Best time to visit
Late spring and early autumn are ideal; the interior hills can get genuinely hot in July and August, and the café's shaded terrace is far more pleasant when the air is cooler.
How to get there
From Mytilene, head northeast into the hills toward the inland villages — Ippeio is about 15 to 20 minutes by car along winding country roads, following signs through the central island interior.

Nice pizza, but that fountain next door with discarded garbage inside that is rotting and the mold on the surface of the water, besides being an ugly sight, attracts mosquitoes....

Argyris's pizzeria… a taste that has grown generations! Argyris's pizza is more than just food, it's a tradition. With its unique, fluffy dough that is unlike any other and the care it puts into each pan, Argyris has managed to write history in taste.

I'm from the village and I have to say that the food is perfect and very relaxed. Except for the mosquitoes because I'm giving it four stars. I have to say that the waiter is very nice and very polite. He's very good at his job although he does some strange things. That's all I had to say, come on everyone
