The Hooch Pizza & Burger

Amazing pizza! Great atmosphere. Friendly waitress. Looking forward to come back.

We had lunch here yesterday and it far exceeded our expectations! Super authentic. I love that it is family owned. The food was great and so were the prices for the amount you got. I definitely recommend it!

0 stars unfortunately not an option. I ordered chicken parm sandwich and received a Tyson chicken patty fresh from the microwave smothered in ragu and covered with government white cheese with a side of walmart coleslaw. No exaggeration. My date had a small pizza that was mediocre at best and deserves the one star. Horrible seating arrangement. Charged 1.50 for bottled nestle water but they put it on the table with out asking if we wanted it.awkward. save your money and eat anywhere else. Helen has much better dining establishments around the corner.

Pizza ok. Hot and fresh. To much butter poured on top of the pizza.
Waitress not very friendly.

Have you ever been to a restaurant and sat at a table where the height of bench to table height ratio was wrong? Well here is one!
The bad: 1. Flies are free. Even with their industrial quality front screen door. 2. They pour ½ cup butter on the piazza crust before they serve it. Waitress was quick but not friendly.
The good: 1. Except for flies, the place was clean. 2. Pizza was fresh and tasty once you shack some cheese and peppers on it.
So, if you really want pizza and you are walking thru Helen, this place will work. If you want to walk or drive a bit further, there are better options.

LOVE IT!
This place has amazing pizza! Customer service is nice & everyone is so kind! If you are in the beautiful town of Helen, GA this is a must come!
I come every time I visit Helen and I will continue to do so! My friends and I ordered the 16′ pepperoni pizza and we al LOVED IT!!! Sometimes it gets really really busy and you might have to wait but just understand it will be okay! There will be times that it is empty and you will het higher service but regardless it is the best!

We stopped here with our daughter after checking out several other places menus. Most restaurants in Helen post their menu with the prices outside. I love this, because it allows a YOU to make the decision on wether or not to eat at their establishment. Well the place is awesome with a side of amaze balls!!! I had the pizza and being from NY, Italian, and working for a commercial pizza joint, I can tell you this is authentic brick oven pizza! I thought it was superb! Light, soft, crunchy, and a little burnt around the edges. Yes people it is suppose to get burnt a little, that’s the beauty of brick oven pizza. The seasoning on top of the pizza added just the right touch. The size of the pizza is bigger than standard and huge portions My husband and daughter had hamburgers and fries and had no complaints and ate every morsel. Excellent food and service! Definitely our new Helen spot. Trust me when I say this my family is PICKY.

Where do I begin? After being seated and waiting 5 minutes for a server, I reached out and grabbed the menus. Another 10 minutes of staring at menus and I figured you have to order at the counter. Went up there to be told, the server will come take order.
We finakly orderd and affter another 20 minutes, I was served half cooked chicken tenders. I had to return it and the second time around it looked nothing like first. No batter at all! Core of the burger patties were hard as a shell. I did not have the patience to return it as I gave up by then. The kitchen staff have no quality assurance checks whatsoever. The cook is out serving in dirty clothes and putting his fingers thru his hair.
I really feel sorry for the owner, the place is becoming a dump and I am not sure if she is paying attention.

Good pizza — friendly staff. No beer served but still worth the stop if you’re hungry and want to rest your feet and grab some food.

First let me start by saying if this was voted the best pizza in town like the sign said. I feel bad for the people in town. it also deserves zero stars but since that can’t happen they get a 1.
This was by far the worst place I have ever had pizza. Wood fired??? What? Where??? Because not here. The pizza tastes like it came from the frozen section of the local supermarket and all they did was add extra cheese and some olive oil on the crust. Better pizza at a school cafeteria.
The Philly cheesesteak burger: It was seriously 2 pieces of steakums on a hamburger roll with cheese, peppers and onions.
The Fries: Well the grease they cooked it in was old and it tastes like they went out to the horses and got some droppings in the oil for good measure.
Lastly the staff: The front of the house staff was nice enough but the back of the house staff disgusting and creepy. One of them was loudly using the F word when kids were in the restaurant and they kept coming out of the kitchen and they really should not go to the front for any reason.

The food was pretty good and the service was also pretty good. I ordered the 7″ pizza with tomatoes and spinach as my toppings. It filled me up pretty well! The only thing I didn’t like was that we had to order a bottle of water because tap wasn’t available, but other than that, not bad!

One of the best «authentic» brick fired pizzerias around! I think some negative reviews are from people that expect a little Caesars, or pizza hut pizza… this is not that kind of pizza. If you want fresh ingredients, yummy crust with a hint of brick fired goodness, and melty cheese… this IS the place. I also loved the olive oil and herbs on the outside of the crust… instant breadsticks! We had the12″, with sausage and spinach. I asked if the spinach was fresh and the host asked if I wanted to try a sample. (Great service). It was delicious. Me and my date ate every bite.

The pizza was not very good at all. The crust was very thin and not cooked all the way through. It was more like cheese and pepperoni with no crust at all in the shape of a pizza wedge. However, I must say that the people were very nice and the service was very good. It was kind of weird that they would stand at at the door of the kitchen and stare at everyone. Oh yeah, and it seems as if they didn’t know English very well. But that’s neither here nor there. Overall I probably will never go back and eat at this pizza place again but it’s worth a try. You be the judge.

Pizza was good. Edges slightly burnt but I don’t like raw crust. Chicken burger was awesome. Refills on drinks a plus !

I hate to see just one review in Unilocal for this restaurant especially when i dont agree with it at all. My children picked The Hooch before i checked Unilocal.So here is our experience.
We were seated immediately. Drinks delivered promptly. We ordered the large meat lovers. It took a reasonable time to cook. It came out looking good. The crust was hand made and crunchy good. The ingredients were quality. The pepperoni were the large type and cooked till crispy on the edge like i like it. Finally we got refills 3 times. I liked it here and would try again.

Amazing pizza and great staff. They treated my party of 10 with great service even though they were getting ready to close. Will definitely return. A great place for pizza and burgers when I’m Helen!

Good pizza and stombolli… fresh salad not from a bag, cheese stix were standard… good service we went in just before closing and they were still happy to have us.

Pizza was probably from frozen, but still good. Burgers looked way better. Should have gotten that instead. Decent service

I did not have any problems with the service or pizza at this place! Pizza was good and service was fine. They are super kid friendly and have toys for your children and will change the tv channel to whatever you prefer to watch. They have specials if you get your food to go vs eating in. A bonus is they are open later than a lot of the other places in Helen.

Service was ok. The food isn’t very good. Pizza taste like a frozen pizza you could fix at home.
