It feels like this location recently opened because there is a lack of organization; there is no "counter", only a tall desk in the front where you place your order. The original counter is in the back and is covered up by pizza boxes and a large Italian ice cooler in front of it. The tables and chairs are not organized, and I feel like the "order desk" should be on the other side of the restaurant so the employees don't "cross over" the entire dining floor to get to the pizza ovens. One employee had on flip flops, I kind of feel like that violates some rules about going into the kitchen. Ordered two slices and a soda. They did not have fountain drinks, only "cans" of soda. The meatballs on one slice and the sausage on the other slice weren't undercooked, but they had no "char" on them like they were cooked. Pizza was good, probably the best pizza for Benson. I think they need to re-adjust the layout, get a fountain soda machine, and they might do okay. read more

Ordered a small spaghetti with meatballs. Menu said $9.99, I think. Was charged $8.99 for a small spaghetti and $6.00 for "Meatballs." Peep that ONE meatball on the small spaghetti. This is crazy. Watch the receipts at this place. read more

Great and delicious food. Not fancy but consistently good Italian food. Fast dependable service. read more

I mean it's edible. I explicitly asked if it was fresh and I was re assured it was but as you can tell from the photo. It was not fresh I even had some cold sauce. I work very close to this location and I've given it a few try's and every time I'm left a bit disappointed with a mildly upset stomach. 3 strikes your out. I won't end up going here again I'd rather go grab dominoes 3 doors down. read more

I can only rate the wings. I did not try their pizza so I can't say if they do well with that or not. But I feel like chicken wings are hard to mess up. I ordered 12 wings Togo, sauce on the side for $16. I had to wait 30 mins for them. It did not appear to be busy. The wings were over cooked. Hard and dry. I would not order wings from here again. read more

Everything was terrible. Miss when sunny used to run it. They are so rude and unattentive its crazy this place has really run down

Our go to for Italian food. Tonight we enjoyed chicken alfredo, bread, calamari with marinara and the alla Nina salad, my favorite. Serving Pepsi products in cans. Iced teas. Offered complimentary glass of wine tonight - we ordered one of each, red and white. Not sure the vineyard, but they were good. Red was too cold for my taste, but ok after it sat a while. Friendly attentive service. They were busy with carryout during our visit, and three tables when we left. Glad its successful at this location. read more

They say it's fresh but it's really cold, like they put the pizza in a microwave for 30 seconds and put it in a a box. I got sick from eating here 1 time and never ate here again. read more

I'm happy that there's a LaPiazza location in McGees. Even though this location is "express" with a streamlined version of the menu from the Hwy 42/50 location, it has a lot to offer. The pizza is good, it's cooked in a brick oven, but it's pricey. The garlic knots are absolutely amazing. You must order them! They are loaded with garlic, butter and parmesan cheese. OMG! The best! The antipasto salad was delicious; the ingredients were all very fresh, the mozzarella was superb! I loved the balsamic vinaigrette too. I'm looking forward to trying other items, like the subs! read more

pizza great! The best I've had in a long time! Alecia was Great! Very friendly and enjoyable dinner.

Food is mediocre on top of overpriced, definitely not fresh and ordered from the local food service warehouse. Embarrassing to any local Italian. Service was a town gossiping waitress that seemed more interested in her phone or talking with kitchen staff then cleaning anyway of the dirty tables or tending to customers. Ambiance was like eating in a food service back storage room with tables. The entertainment for the evening was watching customers complain about different take out and handling fees added to their bill. Also if you order online to pickup the prices are padded. read more

This is a great location for a quick bite. They have lunch specials that are priced fair until 3pm if you're looking for a few slices and drink. Wish they would reopen Downtown Benson location with these same hours... The town needs it. read more

I'm a big fan of the laid back environment,I hate the fake smiles of most food places in America . Food is great and servers are always quick to help you even if you aren't their table read more

No food is awful it so happens ever time we order to go ever time for the last 2 & sometimes longer the food is always WRONG!! Here us a instant I ordered 2 orders of Chicken Nuggets. I didn't check of course its 1 order and a bunch of burnt fries. This goes on here all the time. So people have respect for yourself and stop going here!! Its all on you!! Post the damn re read more

This express location is fantastic. My Farfarelle Piazza was full of sausage and sun dried tomatoes. I had dinner, lunch, and still had leftovers. And I should say I don't like Italian food in general but my husband suggested it since it was close to home and our dishwasher is broken so I needed a break. Zucchini sticks are plenty for 2-3 people to share. My husband got the chicken parm and had spaghetti leftover for lunch today. They were super slammed on a Saturday night and I watched the lady take phone orders and manage the carry out folks like a pro !! She earned the $10 tip I gladly gave her. The team was cooking pizzas nonstop and nobody seemed stressed. I have had good service at the downtown Benson location. The Raleigh location was fairly rude to me. I'll order pizza from the Express next weekend based on my experience yesterday. read more

Very overpriced for a barely adequate small pepperoni pizza. I ordered over the phone for carry out. When I got there the girl behind the register was rude and no customer service skills. $24. I probably could have gotten a much better pizza at Dominos! read more

My wife picked up an order to go and came home crying, she got charged 7 dollars for 4 mozzarella sticks FOUR!!! i am outraged i dont need my sweet wife coming home crying when all she wanted was some italian food to cheer up her day. shame on you all!!!!!!! read more

Great fresh food and friendly service. Good for quick lunch or good pasta dinner. Also got lazagna to go and was very authentic

The food is good however it is expensive. More times than not you are going to wait longer than the quoted time. There are not a lot of good options in the area so if you want something that's a little higher quality and are willing to pay 5 star price for a 3 or some days 4 star experience here you go. I'd recommend the white pizza but check the bottom to make sure it's not burnt and don't pay for any extra toppings you won't get much. read more

I bit into my cheese pizza and felt something hard, spit it out to find a piece of metal! I used to love this location but have had a bad experience the past few times and this was the last straw for me. I will not be going back. read more

If you are looking for great pizza that is truly authentic, this is the place to order. Keep up the great work.

The pizza was good! It was way overpriced with them charging $100 for 3 pizzas for take out and then after credit card recpt came they added 18% for a take out tip!!!! No matter how good the pizza was this is ridiculous!!!!! Store manager said they automatically charge you 18% if your order is $100..... read more

Food is tasty with fresh ingredients but I must say with the new owners they seem stingy on the toppings plus overpriced. I'm saddened by this as they were my "go to" Italian restaurant for many years , but not anymore read more

I love this place! Good food; friendly staff. Keith at the bar is the best! The owner would give you the shirt off his back!

Best pizza I've had in NC. I moved here 3 years ago and this place is fantastic. I go to the Benson location and I love the staff, they are very nice and give great service. If you're looking for great authentic Italian food/pizza, this is your place. read more

This was my husbands and I third time eating at this Italian Charm! We are new to the area now for 6 months, and 2 out of 3 of our visits we were blown away by the lady that served us our meal! The food was amazing no complaints at all, but during these times to have someone so cheerful, funny and to us she seemed to be the heart of the establishment!! Our service was phenomenal and to the owners you have a true gem in your presence and I hope I'm correct but I'm pretty sure her name was Krissy! We will definitely be back! read more
