Food was 100/100 and I couldn't have been happier to eat tonight from Ben Yehuda Pizza. This is a shop located in the Kemp Mill neighborhood. It has plenty of parking and they serve kosher vegetarian and vegan food. All pizza cheese can be substituted with vegan cheese. I just wish they also offered gluten free options but I can't complain much given how delicious their food was. I had a bad day at work but their cheesy gooey delicious pizza and cheese sticks totally made my day. I'm looking forward to returning in the future to try their other menu items.

Two slices and some garlic knots.

I drove 45 minutes, on purpose , to have a slice of pizza at this restaurant. I placed my order, gave my name, and was told that the pizza would take just a little bit because the last two slices in the hotbox had already been sold. I sat. Then I waited for the next 25 minutes while other people's orders came out and were delivered to them at their tables. Four families came in after me, and were served within 5 minutes of arrival. One couple had the exact same order as I did. A grandmother came in and was served a slice of pizza and a slushy immediately and then when her grandson finished, she went back up for a second slice of pizza and a second slushy. While I sat and waited. I had to walk up to the counter and request my food. Never. Again. UPDATE: The owner reached out to me directly, and I am satisfied with his response to the situation.

9-inch pizza - half supreme, half Greek
Margaret A.

Let me start by saying that I do not keep kosher. But I heard that the pizza from Ben Yehuda was so great that I decided to try it yesterday. I was not disappointed. I ordered a 9" half supreme/half Greek pizza. The supreme has green peppers, mushrooms, veg sausage and pepperoni. The Greek half had kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and feta cheese. Crust was crisp and tomato sauce rich and appropriately sweet. Cheese is high quality and toppings generously apportioned. If you do not finish the whole pizza, it reheats wonderfully in the toaster oven.

Cheese Pizza Slice Still loving Ben Yehuda Pizza Great place for family lunch and dinner. Pizza always delicious and the service is great too. Been here a long time and it's only gotten better.

Great customer service and very tasty pizza! I'm happy to have this place close by. The only critique is that it is a bit on the expensive side but it iss tasty!!

Ben Yehuda Cafe & Pizzeria is a Kosher pizzeria located off of Lamberton. They also have subs, salads, soups, fries, sides (such as baked potatoes, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc.), and desserts. I tried their Lunch Special, which comes with a two slices of pizza and a fountain drink. Instead of getting both slices of cheese, I got one cheese and one of their 'specialty' slices, a veggie. The cheese slice was pretty delicious - thin, super cheesy, and the tomato sauce was the perfect amount of sweetness. The veggie one was forgettable, as it didn't really have much flavor, considering it had a generous amount of veggie toppings. Even though it was a lunch special, the price was a little steep ($8 for the combo, $9 with tip). I'd probably just stick with their cheese pizzas the next time! Plenty of parking in the shared lot. +Kosher pizzas! +cheese pizzas +little steep in prices +ample amount of parking in shared plaza lot

For full disclosure, I know one of the owners of Ben Yehuda Cafe & Pizzeria. The owners are good, decent, honest people doing what they can to make a living by serving an under served pizza eating population -the Kosher Pizza Eaters of Montgomery County Maryland. The above said, my review is honest. No matter the reason, if I don't write fair and unbiased reviews, my impact and value as a trusted review is nil. My commitment to myself is to be honest with all my reviews. As always, my review is based on my experience (Wednesday April 13, 2017 at around 7:15 PM) and based on the what I had to eat (two slices of cheese pizza). I want to break this review into several categories: Location Environment Cleanliness Staff Menu Food To fully understand how I landed on my rating I think it's only fair (since I know one of the owners) that I fully disclose how I reached my overall rating. Location - the location is outstanding for a Kosher Pizzeria. The Jewish population in the area is large, the need obvious. They did a wonderful job of finding a location in an area of need. The shopping center that Ben Yehuda is in has other shops that serve the community, yet also offers a lovely park area and is welcoming to everyone passing by regardless of faith. Environment - I didn't know what to expect. The sign has one look and feel while the actual establishment has an old NY pizzeria feel; I'd guess about 14 tables, each with 4 - 8 chairs (I think that is about right, I didn't count). Like old style pizzerias the menu is over the counter. You order at the counter, sit and wait while the pizza (and other items) are made fresh. They do offer single slice servings that are kept warm in a pizza warmer, not unlike what you would see any place that sells single slices. When I was there they had only cheese pizza slices at the ready. All in all I liked the look and feel, very understated, minimal decorations (I don't recall any), red and white colors. Simple, tasteful. Cleanliness - I am a clean freak, Dirty places or places look dirty or feel dirty or give off an air of "not clean enough" drives me nuts. It's my belief that if you serve people, serve food, you have an obligation to keep every table, every chair, every counter spic and span. There is NO EXCUSE EVER for not keeping your place clean (napkin holders full, chairs pushed in, table tops and counter tops clean, floors swept.) As important, bathrooms MUST Be spot less. People are dirty and hygiene seems to optional for too many. I don't want to touch other people's goo, ever. (Being a single dad, I really hated cold and flu season, runny noses ... EWWW.) The eating area was clean, enough, not to give me the Willies. The bathroom, well, I had issues. Simple things - co-ed bathrooms, great concept but that also means locks that have to be touched, doors handles that have to be touched and, with no urinals, the opportunity for misses and messes is just WAY to high. As the bathrooms are one seaters, there is no getting around the fact the bathrooms are just not going to feel clean. I would have avoided going, but you do what you gotta do where you gotta do it when you gotta do it. They need to get auto facets, auto toilets, push doors and hand towels (air dyers don't work), seat liners would also be of value. They should also consider a different trash can as I don't feel the one used in the bathroom I was in is practical (very big, poor location). Would I nix going here because of the bathroom? No, but I would bring my own hand sanitizer and perhaps a few paper towel (or at least grab a few napkins from the table) Staff - As many of you that have read other reviews, I have an extensive background in customer service and hospitality. (My company, Verho Communications, gave out it's first service award for outstanding service in 2017). I am all about service. The young woman at the counter was very friendly, nice smile, positive greeting. The listening skills were a bit lacking, but in the end, it was a very pleasant interaction. Menu - they have a large menu that includes items of the non-pizza variety. I didn't spend a lot of time looking at it, but as long as you are not searching for meat (meatballs are made of soy) I think you will find an item or 5 that you will enjoy. Prices - Gotta say that I do know that Kosher is going to add a bit of a cost. I don't know how much, but I am assuming at least 2%. Also, since they are a rare pizzeria with a defined customer base (Although VERY WELCOMING TO ALL) they do have the opportunity to increase their prices, perhaps another 3-5%. I though the prices for their pizza (personal on up) seemed fair. $7 for two slices of cheese pizza was a bit much; when I can get whole pizzas at 7-11 and Little Ceasars for $5, comparison does them no favors. Is $7 out of line? No, just pushing the high end of a slice of pizza. Food - (running out of space) the food was fine, perhaps not fresh as I had pre made.

Salad with tangy fries and a side of ranch
Maria P.

If you're looking for a tasty slice of pizza with a side of fries...come here! The crust is thin yet thick enough to support toppings. The cheese is INCREDIBLE and the tangy fries are extra crisp. Just remember that this isn't a fancy pizzeria and you'll be fine. If you're on a health kick they have tasty salads to choose from. Nothing fancy, but the ingredients are very fresh and portion sizes are generous. Side Note: The falafel isn't all that great. Yes, I know it's a Jewish place but it really could've used something extra. I'm used to Amsterdam falafel and their array of toppings. This also seems to be a popular spot for small children. Not sure how everyone feels about that. Would I go again? Absolutely. Would I take a chance on buying their pasta dishes? Probably not.

My guests ordered their pizzas and I was happy to see they have a vegan cheese (Follow your Heart brand). I tasted the crust of my kids pizza and it was pillowy and chewy.

The day we visited, they had a margherita pizza and a veggie (mozzarella, Italian dandelions, sun-dried tomatoes, whipped goat chevre & hot honey).

It started out good, then it was mediocre, then it was good again. And so on and so forth. Frustrated by the lack of consistency, we stopped going for a while. But now - "it's good again!" On my latest visit, I stuck to the basics: spaghetti bolognaise, a house salad, and a glass of Montepulciano de Abruzzo. Spaghetti bolognaise isn't on the menu per se - but there is bolognaise over gnocchi, and the chef is willing to go with a different pasta on request. I was delighted with the sauce - among the best I have had around town - and the pasta was of good quality and cooked to perfection. The dish was also plated very nicely, in a neat little swirl. Not showy but with care. I appreciated that. The salad was fresh and used crisp apples, not mealy ones. I would have liked a better quality Montepulciano, or perhaps glass a whose shape would improve its robustness, but it was fine. I'm a little worried that what once was a steady clientele has dropped off. The restaurant was only half full on a Friday evening. But I, at least, will be returning soon!
