“ A good local pizza joint. Very crowded for a Friday lunch hour. Plenty of folks here from students, young families, and single professionals. Tried their Hawaiian specialty, extra hot and crispy. Delish.... Will try their other pies at a future date. ”
“ Tried the wings here during pride and it was amazing full of flavor crispiness and overall goodness the service was fast. Got my wings and no time and the ambience is very welcoming if you want to sit down and enjoy your food. ”
“ So on my last visit, we had a little incident. Out of loyalty, I'm not gonna drop a star. Why? Because my family has been eating here since 1969 and this was only ONE incident out of 52 years. But, I am gonna say what happened to make you future patrons more aware to pay attention to the prices when they're ringing you up. Long story short, girl at the register tried to over charge me THEN argued with me about why she was over charging me by claiming: 1) The Menu was old (lie) 2) It was higher because of the tax (lie) 3) An extra credit card charge (lie) One of her Coworkers came over and helped her out on the register. He rang me up correctly. So I'm guessing the girl is new? The owner came over to check what was going on and I told him straight out she was trying to over charge me. He apologized. She, however, did not apologize. She tried to argue with me when she was the one who made the error. Then, she started talking about me in Spanish to her coworker as if I didn't understand her. So! Be mindful of the prices when you order because you may be overcharged, which personally I don't think is okay. Did I mention my family has been eating at Helen's since 1969? 52 years! I'm happy to say Helen's is still serving delicious food. Seems Italian, but the family is Greek! Highly recommend trying the other items on their menu! Pizza is good, but you gotta try the other items as well! The food...still delicious! 52 years in my family and they're still consistent! A staple pizzeria in the heart of JC. I'm glad they're still around :) I will always hit up Helen's whenever I visit JC. ”
