We dined at Slice of Helen on the last night of our trip. We made this decision based on the reviews despite Slice of Helen being one of the few restaurants in the area without 4+ stars. We sat on the dining room side vs the bar side. Our server was very friendly and attentive. He was prompt with the service he provided. We got the Hog Crackers (they were okay), the meat calzone, and the sundried tomato bacon alfredo (I forget the exact name). The calzone and pasta were just what we expected, reasonably priced for the portions, and didn’t take long to be prepared. I would absolutely go back to this restaurant if I were in the area and craving Italian. Do be advised that there is the smell of smoke in the air due to smoking on the bar side and it was very loud from a band or karaoke. If you’re in Helen and want Italian, this is pretty much your only option, but be prepared for the smell of smoke. As non smokers, it didn’t bother us, but definitely could be an issue for others. I’ve read a lot of reviews discussing the bathrooms, but I didn’t use the restroom so I can’t speak on that.
This place is a little rough around the edges, but it’s a HOMEMADE crust. Which is almost unheard of! I love the pesto pizza. I love the red sauce too. It’s one of the better spots in Helen!!! Be prepared to wait 30 mins. Good pizza takes time.
Our first time here. Like others said that smells like smoke. Mostly be because next door is a bar kind of place.The pizza was very good the server was very nice.Also prices are good.4 stars just because of the cigarette smell.
I read a lot of negative comments about this business but decided to give it a try. My family and I were not disappointed at all! The waitress was very polite, knowledgeable of the menu, and definitely stayed on top of her game. The burgers were absolutely delicious and the pizzas were AMAZING! We were very glad that we made the choice to drop in and we will definitely be stopping by during our next trip.
