Ben's Pizza

Oh man this place was awesome! The variety of pizzas were great. My wife and I had the Old Fashion Pepperoni ,which had a TON of pepperonis on it, the White Spinach which must've had a a nice heavy dose of spinach, the Meat Lovers and the wings. Oh and I almost forgot the Lentil soup. Everything was delicious and we're definitely coming back when we visit New York again!

I'm in the city once a week and my fiance & I like looking up the top rated pizzerias to try on the Barstool One Bite app. This was 1 of the few rated over 7.5 that we haven't been to, so we decided to give it a shot. And man, I'm glad we did! The girl working the counter was super nice, told us what some of the favorites are and helped us pick what to try. We got 1 reg, 1 vodka, 1 grandma, 1 margarita and 2 of the stuffed knots. And we were offered a side of sauce without having to ask (or pay extra). Everything was amazing! I'd recommend trying the Vodka but everything was good. 1 of the few places that somehow makes a plain old regular pie stand out. Will definitely be back

Good selection of different topping pizzas, with some tempting combinations. My Palermo slice was not fully reheated though, so was cold in places, and on the Margherita, the sauce had a lot of herbs in it, and didn't have the fresh tomato taste of many authentic pizzerias I've been to. In future, I'd give this place a miss, and head to Joe's on Carmine street (they do fewer flavours, but it means you can always get a slice fresh out the oven).

This place is the real deal. One of my favorite NYC pizza places. Every slice they make here is great but my personal favorites are the square slice with the tiny pepperoni, the one with all the onions, and the grandma slice. Their sauces are great, nice selection of slices, good ratio of ingredients (not too dough-ey, enough cheese and sauce). They make everything the right way and don't cut corners. As a side tip, their hot dogs in a blanket are so good, definitely try those if you like hot dogs.
