I love the vibe of this place! I ordered the Cosmo from Benny Blanco's and now I get the hype--my whole family loved it. The crust was delicious, and the olive oil in the dough makes it feel light (no heavy, uncomfortable feeling after like most pizza). The atmosphere is so fun and laidback. It feels like somewhere you actually want to hang out for a while! My mom grew up in Staten Island NY and I've tried many pizzas. Trust me when I say this place is worth a visit! read more

I'm a transplant from NY and sadly disappointed with this place. The staff was friendly and the vibe was good. But, the pizza fell flat. It wouldn't survive a month in NYC, the place they claim their pizza to replicate. The sauce was bland and pasty. The crust was under cooked and lacked that yeasty taste that a good dough always has. I wouldn't doubt that the cheese comes pre-shredded from the distributor. I believe there's hope though. They need to sweeten up the sauce. Yep some added sugar would go a long way. They need to toss the conveyor oven and invest in a gas fired brick oven. Places like Papa John's and Domino's use conveyor ovens, so you do the math. An oven fired up over 700° is key to producing a great tasting pizza. I want this business to thrive, not just survive. It's possible with just a few simple tweaks. read more

If you are close and want an old reheated slice of piece this the place for you. They claim to be New York style but other than it be large pieces there was nothing NY about it. When we entered my husband and I just looked at each other very well knowing we were going to be disappointed. We had decided to go to Benny Blancos because we like to try a new pizza place every now and again. We walked in and ordered and were told it would be 30-45 minutes for our take out order. Clearly you should order ahead. So we sat down at one of the small tables they have inside. The guy taking our order was nice enough but seems like a bunch of bros work and maybe owe the place. The pizza was hot, hot, hot,...clearly straight out of the oven. When we got it home we both thought it was fine but nothing impressive and needed a bit more sauce. read more

Best NY slice I've had here in Arvada. I recommend the pepperoni jalapeño, extra crispy.

The Luau pizza is our favorite. Staff is friendly and the store is clean. 5 stars! Teresa W

I had heard a lot of good things about this place. That it could be like NY pizza really had me hooked. I had seen their lunch special of two slices of cheese pizza and a soda for $8 so I decided to stop in and give them a try. Coming from NYC I'm well aware that there are all kinds of pizzas and to each his own. But I'm old enough to remember that pizza shops were everywhere when I was growing up. All I knew was cheese pizza! And I loved it. A light sauce covering a thin crust with cheese over it all. The crust was tasty not burnt or crisp. You enjoyed the whole slice and it was cheap! Nowadays no longer cheap but the lunch special gives you two huge slices plus a can of soda. I ordered takeout and those slices fit into a large pizza box. I did take one photo of one slice in the box. I measured it at some 8 by 11 inches a slice. The taste brought me back to NYC. This is one of the best I've had outside NYC. It's not fancy it's just cheese pizza but it's quite good. No question I'll be back again to try what else they have like eggplant parmigiana sandwich. It's a very small shop as prior photos show it quite nicely. It is cute inside and clean. Well worth a try if you are in the area. When you walk in you'll see the pizzas by the slice. Each pizza on its own pan and they are huge. Not just extra large they are gigantic! Pizza has changed an awful lot in my years on earth but if you want to experience the traditional NY pizza give them a try. read more

Well, as a recent transplant to Arvada, I have been on the hunt for a solid go-to pizza place. I was excited when I saw how many great reviews there were for Benny Blanco's on all different sites. Unfortunately, my experience was not commensurate with those high ratings. I am from the east coast and never have I had pizza like this - it is not NY style or Bronx style pizza. Another reviewer said it right when they said the crust is like a cracker dough. It's exactly what my husband and I said to each other after taking a few bites. The crust lacks flavor, but the toppings were well-portioned, spread evenly and were tasty. We also got a calzone (served with cold marinara sauce). It was okay, but the crust was also soft, so probably not good enough for me to return. read more

Great pizza spot in Arvada. We got a Medium chicken bacon ranch and Large the works. Both had a crispy, thin crust that still held up all the toppings. The Large is truly large and topped with a generous amount of toppings. Sauce + cheese + toppings were a great balanced ratio. The folks who took my order and the chefs were super friendly and warm. We got the pizza for dinner, but they also offer a good lunch deal: 2 slices + drink for $8, that we'll definitely be back for. read more

I think Benny Blanco's is what sustained me in my twenties living in Cap Hill! I was over the moon when they opened this shop within biking distance in Arvada! Great pizza - by the slice or whole pie - and an unbeatable lunch special! Everyone is awesome! I'm always asked how the family is if I pop in without them. Maybe I'm eating too much pizza? Nahhhhh. read more

Hands-down some of the best pizza we've had in Colorado. We stopped in before going to an event at the high school and ate several slices. We don't live in the area but will definitely be back! read more

Sorry guys I have found a new pizza place in Arvada. After living here since 1974, and loving a few of the many pizza joints in town. There seems to be a new "best of the bunch." I have made my own pizza at home for decades because my homemade pizza is better than anything commercially available. Regardless, I have still bought a lot of pizza because it takes a long time to prepare a pizza well. While I still love the pizza from the other guys, these guys do it better. They are not cutting corners on quality read more

Good pizza. service was nice. Not really a dine in spot. price was too high to go back

Pizza was large and delicious and service was great! Still thinking about this pizza after a few weeks

Great NYC style pizza and an amazing soda offering. The pizza by the slice is delicious and as almost as big as your torso.

I tried this place hoping to find pizza like NY or should I say the Bronx. Not even close. Cracker crust no rise to the dough. Sauce lack's robustness and the cheese well that lacks also. What I find even worse is the reply from the owners especially the woman who acts like a victim and attacks those who are not into the products they serve. They are only sharing their experience and your hostile negativity is not showing you to be understanding in any way. The hostility is like the pizza. Crunchy and lacking. It's not a personal attack on you but I see why you take it that way but maybe use them as an opportunity to step up the products or just create a true NY product starting with the dough options. Roll the box charge into the product so you don't look tacky. Feel free to bash my review but On the flip side I may not be a fan and you can't make everyone happy. If you're staying in business and doing well then count your blessings and keep doing it how you are and remember it's not an attack on you. Response to the bitter owner.....Bad pizza is bad pizza. I don't care for theirs either. Great 24 years. And you should be more confident about your product and not bash people and play small because they don't like your type of pizza. obviously you're a nasty person and only fosters people talking negative about your business created by your responses. Congratulations on your 24 years but it's a little pathetic how you use small business as what were complaining about rather than the product.I have no problems, supporting small businesses and always do l. It's not my fault your pizza is not any good and the farthest thing from a New York pizza. , I'm not bashing that you're a small business. I'm bashing what you serve.........What, i'm supposed to like it and write a good review because you're a "small business" ? I've looked at people's negative reviews and responses and if you look at them here, they're very kind and understanding and many learn from them because what you're doing, only creates a worse situation and could create a lack of community support because it shows what kind of person you are. If I was to choose between Goomba and your pizza, I would definitely choose Goomba. Your husband was cool when we picked up the pizza and I've told people how cool he was but that I wasn't a fan. But now you've only created animosity just because I didn't like your pizza that you should be more confident about since you've been in business for 24 years. Rather than go on the attack. And thank you for responding to my initial review so the people can see what kind of person you are because you caused this interaction and I felt obligated to respond read more

Arvada needed a good NY style pizza place in the area and this place hits the mark! Just down the street from my house I noticed them as new when looking for pizza on Yelp. I went down to take a look as they serve by the slice or a whole pie. The owner was there and was happy to chat with me. He explained their type of pizza and even showed the back room where all the magic happens. Now I don't know my pizza ovens, but he said he brought this one in special. It sure looked special to me! The gentleman running the back wasn't an inexperienced kid, but he appeared to be a seasoned pizza maker. Nice guy! This is their second location and glad they decided on Arvada. I spent $8 dollars for a meat lovers' slice which was HUGE! $8 Lunch Special- Just to clear up confusion it runs from 11am-3pm (I was told) and is only for plain cheese slices. Good enough for me! I will definitely be back for that! read more

We ordered Benny's and the pizza was finished in 35-40 mins! It was huge and delicious! I didn't have a chance to take a picture because of how fast everyone ate it! read more

I'm thrilled they've opened a location up north! I used to visit the Capitol Hill spot when I was nearby, but now there's one closer to home. The pizza was excellent--I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried the Green Giant and the chicken bacon ranch. Both exceeded my expectations! The slices are also very generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. The staff is friendly and create a great atmosphere in the shop. I'll definitely be returning to Benny Blanco's and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great slice! read more

Googled where to buy pizza by the slice in Arvada, CO. Google returned Benny Blanco's pizza on 64th Ave. Choice of 5 or 6 different slices. Was served an absolutely enormous piece of pepperoni pizza, NY style. Delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by their Arvada location last week. Every pizza type I've had here is superb and the new location was no exception. One of the best local pizza joints in the greater Denver area; easily. Great small business, has kind service/staff, and great quality pizza/subs (still need their calzones; yet but I hear good things). The shop has a cool/fun vibe that's both unique and inviting. Hard to beat Benny B's! Highly recommend this local pizza joint (both locations). read more

Looks like New York pizza but tastes like Colorado. With a name like Benny Blancos my wife and I thought we were getting a taste of back home. read more

I am super grateful for a good pizza place in Arvada. First off the customer service was on point. I ordered half Pep and sausage and half veggie 18" and they called to verify what I wanted. We also got mozzarella sticks and the sauce was on point. I'd say 18" was a lot for my husband and I but would be a good size for a family or a group of four. read more

Benny Blanco's is a great addition to the neighborhood! Arvada was sorely lacking a NY style, "by the slice" pizza joint. My 3yo daughter and I stopped in last night to pickup a 20" 'za and salad for dinner and I love what they've done with the space that I would've previously described as, "where pizza places go to die." They've made the space bright, welcoming and fun. Service was friendly and there were good vibes all around. Most importantly, the pizza was good too and I love that they have a "2 slices & a soda" special. I definitely see our family coming back here often! read more

Been 3 different times trying to order the lunch special (2 slices + drink for $8) and each time there's a different excuse to not honor the deal. It feels like the rules are made up on the spot, which feels shady. During our last visit the employee handled pizza bare handed after handling the transaction before us and shaking hands with another guest. The vibe of the shop is nice, love the artwork. Pizza was pretty good, the crust is the highlight but doesn't feel worth the price when it's not made to order. read more

Cool little pizza shop. Pizza was good. Friendly workers. Definitely will be trying this place again

I have been here twice and both times the have fucked up my order hell my wife and I drove over 30 minutes to go here one night and it took a hour to make a large pizza after they told me they messed it up. Well today was the second time I have been there and the same thing the fucked up my order and then took 45 minutes to make it I was there for a hour on my work lunch. Worst service ever and the food is over priced. 35 for a large pepperoni and sausage pizza that's not all that great . I will never go back ever again read more

A slice of the Bronx?.... sorry this Bronx girl says not even close. The crust is hard as a cracker on the edges, no rise to the dough. And the other thing you would never get away with in the Bronx is charging fifty cents for the box. Really? Never heard of a pizza place charging for the pizza box. Put those slices on a paper plate in a bag and stop trying to find creative ways to rip off people who don't look at the receipt and realize what you are doing. read more

Driving by and seeing the sign for weeks prior to opening, my family and I had been excited for the arrival of a new pizza place in Arvada. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Gloriously large, New York style pies, with the crust done just right. Delicious sauce, too, fresh and flavorful, but subtle enough to not burn-out your tastebuds. So far, we've enjoyed the pepperoni and the veggie - which the entire family enjoyed, unusual for the kids, but they picked the right vegetables for this one (tomatoes, ftw). Garlic bread with *actual* garlic on it. Finally, the calzone... For as often as I find myself ordering calzones - at least once - from restaurants, I am more often than not disappointed as they usually end up being so average. That was happily not the case with Benny Blanco's Stan-the-Man calzone. It. Was. Stellar. The outside was properly cooked, golden brown, the fillings were fresh and plentiful, and the cheeses were a surprisingly creamy texture that brought all of the flavors together. Great spot, great folks, my family has a new go-to pizza joint! read more

Worth the wait. We haven't had a good east coast pizza place in Arvada for as long as I've lived here, we are happy to have them in the neighborhood. The decor inside is fun and the staff is always friendly. read more

There isn't a way they could make pizza this good. I'm not even exaggerating, this pizza is so good I don't even know what to do right now. It's either fake or alien pizza bc there's no way. I know what pizza tastes like, it's awesome, but this is better. I'm dead here. read more

My Arvada pizza dreams have come true! For years and years, all I ever wanted was some authentico New York style pizza by the slice in my neighborhood. Finally, Jah has provided. I used to live a block away from their prior Capitol Hill location and ate there on the regular. I'm happy to report it's the same great pizza with arguably better service. I'm not sure if they got priced out of the neighborhood the way I did, but Arvada welcomes you with open arms. read more

Delicious pizza and great service! We will be going back (frequently!). Glad that they moved into the area.

Wow what an incredible experience at Benny Blanco, the staff is so generous and friendly. I ordered one pizza and one order of pasta. They took the time while my food was cooking to get to know me and sent me home with an extra pizza. Would 10/10 recommend the Arvada location, Holly the owner is so kind.
