Greg SchulzOctober 15, 2014Hungry Sasquatch & Thai pizza. Can't say which I liked better, but both were awesome. Bring an appetite. The slices are huge, and you'll want to try more than 1. No complaints on the service.

Robert BrownSeptember 6, 2011Hands down my favorite place to eat. Period. Kinda hipster and people smoke outside so eating outside can be tough if you're not a fan of that. The food can take a while but it is WELL worth it.UpvoteDownvote
Chanda AklesMarch 21, 2014Extremely friendly! Try the front outdoor seating if you're alone and want good conversation! I'll definitely return on my next visit to Athens.UpvoteDownvote
Sara GoldsteinAugust 17, 2013Food was great! the problem was the hosted snapped at us for asking to sit upstairs. Everything would have been fine after that if the hostess let our waiter know she had a table so we had to wait 20Upvote1Downvote
David DerrickAugust 25, 2014Great pizza at a great price! This is the original downtown location. The hungry Sasquatch is hard to beat!Upvote3Downvote

Atlanta Food Critic .comMarch 26, 2011If you’re in Athens and you want pizza on Friday night, you’d better get to Transmetropolitan early. If you don’t, you will experience mayhem like you never have. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
The Hungry Sasquatch is amazing! Also it's open until 2am on some nights.UpvoteDownvote
Andrea JaneJuly 28, 2012Waited in line for 20+ minutes to order pizza. Yummy food but if I had known I had to wait for 45 minutes to eat (in summer with no college kids) I might have reconsidered. Ben and Jerry's next door!Upvote1Downvote
Emily HarsenNovember 6, 2017Over an hour wait for our pizza that was lukewarm. The waiter didn't come back to check on us- we needed our checks. Instead we got to watch him take shots at the bar while we waited. Not impressedUpvoteDownvote
WendyFebruary 14, 2011I love the build a salad and the veggie bowls. Also they make excellent balsamic vinaigrette dressing.UpvoteDownvote
Laura CotterOctober 11, 2011Blackened chicken calzone is delicious! I had it with ranch instead of bleu cheese dressingUpvoteDownvote
Try eating upstairs! Great view of downtown!Upvote1Downvote
Brittany KurzFebruary 23, 2013Food's ok, but the wait to place order is ridiculous. Beer selection kinda sucks, but at least they have some local stuff.UpvoteDownvote
Daniel FowlerApril 1, 2011Don't come hungry, service is slow enough it'll happen while you're here.Upvote1Downvote
Jordan ChatelainMarch 4, 2012Extremely long wait for lukewarm, watery pasta sauce. Not impressed by the food or the apathetic attitude of the employees.Upvote1Downvote
