    Pizza is one of the few things I am an expert in. I will go head-to-toe with anyone on planet Earth. I have had more slices than there is sand on a beach. True; OK thousands...lol. Pizza is based on the principles of bread, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Benny Diforza your pizza needs some work. Let me say first; that bigger is not always best. On my visit, I had a slice of sausage. At best it was OK. When I received my slice the sausage was this pale-looking thin piece of meat. No flavor. Crust mush. A crime has been committed. It had no cheese taste. The crime continues. Benny; this was an ugly slice. I felt the ratio of cheese to bread and sauce; was tasteless. The point was so soft it folded down. I had to tear off to eat. I don't eat pizza that way. I mentioned the huge size of the slice before. Question: how do you place this slice in your toaster oven to heat on takeout? Bigger is not good in this case. Overall, I will be back. I want to give them a second chance because the Service was outstanding. Every single person that walked in was GREETED by the staff. I was there for an hour and before the door shut as a customer walked in; I heard "Hello welcome"; "Thank you for coming ". This was awesome. I was impressed by this. They had a decent selection of canned craft beers. About a dozen styles. Something for everyone? Maybe? Lots of seating. Elevator music has to go. Next visit I will ask for a well-done slice...to be continued...

    Benny Diforza is known for their big slices of pizza. My love for pizza runs deep so I had to give this place a try. The pizza slices range from your typical cheese to a Philly cheesesteak. I went with the sausage and cheese slice. I went after work so there was no lunch crowd. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in. My slice did not take long at all to come out. The pizza was hot, not overly saucy but still tasty. While I was there, another customer ordered a whole pie. It was interesting to see the customer get through the door with the giant pizza box! I would return it's not my usual pizza preference but it satisfied my pizza craving.

    Excellent spot for a quick slice or taking home a gargantuan 48' pie. Make sure to call in advance or go when they aren't busy because wait times tend to go up.

    Solid NYC style pizza. They are doing all the basics nicely. I like that it's not a grease bomb like Wise Guys. The sauce tastes very nostalgic and overall I'd go back again. The novelty is it's a huge pizza, but it's also pretty good.

    I've passed this place on numerous occasions and decided to stop by after their "social media" campaign with Tik Tok. .. The Pizza slices did not disappoint.. the restaurant was very clean and staff were very friendly I will be back

    Tried a slice from Benny for the first time; walked in and they had some cheese pizzas, and then what you order they can add the toppings before it goes into the oven. A slice is about $7-9 depending on what you get, and one slice is plenty. The slices are huge and delicious. Inside there are some cool old casino games which is a neat decoration. Also it's open late which is a plus. I'll be back!

    DEL RAY, ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Look, is this a culinary revelation of amazeballs-ness? No. But it's a good thin-crust slice, it's a yuuuuge slice, it's $6 to $7.50 for a slice as big as a nice small pizza, the place is clean and fast. For what it is, this is a five-star 'that big slice hit the spot' experience.

    the service was incredible! the owner was extremely hospitable, and Ben (an employee) is the highlight of this franchise store. i can't speak highly enough of this location. the pizza was phenomenal and everything is made fresh to order. the slices are worth their price compared to any other pizza franchise. will be back soon guaranteed

    This was their cheese pizza slice and man was it good. Hot, not too much bread perfect amount of sauce. During restaurant week it came with another slice, 2 bags of chips, 2 sodas and 2 ice cream sandwiches. All of it was soooo good. Def going back for those ice cream sandwiches too. The artwork was pretty cool on the walls. The service was also pretty fast as well went mid afternoon.

    I'd been to the Benny's in Richmond before so I was excited to see them open in Del Ray. Big foldable slices with a crispy enough crust so it's got a good bite to it. Sauce was fresh and bright and not sickly sweet. About the worst I could say is that it needed to be reheated in the oven a little longer, but next time I'll order it well done. Excellent selection of bottled sodas, including my favorite RC. Highly recommended for a quick meal, and way less crowded than Andy's in Old Town.

    If you know Bennys from Blacksburg you won't be disappointed with the Bennys in Del Ray. Some of the best pizza around.

    This was a fairly cool old town waterfront pizza spot. On the outside it looks like an old…read morewarehouse but on the inside it's a clean cut modernized space with wooden decor, a long bar at the entrance, and several sets of smaller tables throughout the space. There's also a second floor which is used as their event space. It was a bit quiet during lunch time on this day which worked out as my small group had plenty of choices for seating. Service was excellent our waiter was very attentive and our food items came out in an expedited manner. Their menu features apps like cast iron meatballs, garlic knots, and eggplant parm, several different salad options, 6 different sub options, and of course a plethora of red and white sauce pizza options (by the slice or whole pies) with plenty of add-ons regarding toppings and glazes. The wine menu is also pretty expansive with some very nice selections. I ended up ordering the chicken caesar sub ($18) and the vanilla bean brûlée cheesecake ($9). The chicken sub was delicious the flavor of the bread and the Caesar dressing that came with it were the highlights, fresh toppings, my only complaint would have been a bit more chicken added to the sandwich. The cheesecake was exceptional as well despite being a bit heavy on the cream topping but that was probably more for presentation purposes. Overall a positive lunch experience, I'll definitely be returning to try out a few of their pizza options.

    This was my first time checking out this restaurant…read more I liked the fact that you could order pizza by the slice, but unfortunately the piece I received came out cold. Indicating that it had been cooked a while ago. I also ordered the eggplant Parmesan appetizer. The dish was really cheesy, however it was way over salted. The restaurant only offered one mocktail option, which is a shocker especially since we are in the middle of dry January. I'll have to go back another day and have a proper meal to see if this one visit was just a fluke.
