Helen's Pizza, a family owned restaurant, has been serving Downtown Jersey City since 1968.
History of Helen's Pizza
In June of 1963, Nicolas Kalcanides came to the United States from Greece with his wife, Irene, and two children, Steven & Helen. In August of 1968, after working for 5 years at his hot dog stand, Nicolas opened up Helen's Pizza, naming it after his daughter. The entire family worked to keep the pizzeria growing. Helen's Pizza quickly became known for it's warm, friendly atmosphere and quality pizza for only $0.15 per slice.

As the business continued to grow, so did the Kalcanides family. Steven & Maria had three children, Nicolas, Irene, and Alexandra, who also joined in to help the family restaurant throughout the years.
