    GIANT SLICES! This is the go to spot for quick and giant slices of pizza late at night. I wouldn't necessarily come here for sit down pizza but it is a delicious late night pizza. We went here two night in a row in fact!

    The downtown location has worse everything than the other Benny's locations. I stopped in after a walk down king to grab a slice and the staff are definitely not very nice here. The pizza is okay, warm but not hot. I asked for a cup for water and they told me they can't give cups or tap water to customers, you can only buy a bottle of water. You do get your food fast, but thats the extent of the good service. The staff seemed annoyed that anyone was coming in and it was only 9pm, so I'll stick to the Mount pleasant Benny's where the staff is awesome and the food is hot.

    Gigantic pizza to go!

    Had a super delicious slice of sausage pizza to go. Huge! The counter person was swamped but held it all together with aplomb. A couple of stools to sit on, not very comfortable so I took my slice back to my hotel. Crispy crust and great flavor!

    Customer service was good no issues with any type of communication. Definitely not no wait even though it was packed. Got to love how big these slices are. Not chewy or saggy in the middle, perfect crunch. If you are up for a challenge you can try to eat the 28" pizza in 28 minutes for some money. Definitely would recommend and go back

    The pizza was HUGE, we ordered 3 for our staff and it was plenty. They delivered it in a timely manner via Uber eats. But of course as big as it was and being togo, it didn't arrive remotely hot, barely warm. Which is fine bc I don't have to eat it hot, but honestly it was just average to ME. This may be your style of pizza but not exactly mine. Large slices that you can fold easily to eat, but just pretty bland and ok. I do want to come back and maybe try a slice in house to see if it's that much better. For now this is my experience with it togo.

    Ok I know many will question a five star rating for a slice joint in Charleston. But hear me out I have lived on slices all over the country before. This place has what you want, and only that and nothing else. They make like five things. They have a special slice and cheese and a couple meats and mushroom. But the slices are huge and really good. So big the great gal servicing the counter talked my teen out of getting two. The special was the Mighty Olive and had gobs of what amounted to green and black olive tapanade. Perfect salt level. I had to cut the slice into like five or six pieces and fold each one to eat it. They have a dark wood space with limited seating but it's a good window to people watch from. If you just want a slice get one. Not two!

    I've been to Charleston twice in the last couple of years and my wife and I go out of our way to grab a slice at Benny's. Excellent slice of pizza, decent price. Great for grabbing a simple lunch while walking down King.

    Great giant pizza.

    Great pizza, outstanding service when we ordered. The atmospheres was what you would expect from a pizza place. Outstanding NY style pizza.

    Garlic mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage

    Pizza was great and crispy but needed more sauce in my opinion. Loved the slice sizes! Workers didn't seem too thrilled to be there but they got all of our needs met and the food came out fast! The decor in the building is very unique and vibey. The music was great lots of tame impala! Would recommend for a quick pizza stop if you're staying downtown!

    Just got 2 slices for $15 with box, not worth it. Maybe it's because I'm from New York but not worth $15 for 2 slices. Never again

    I ordered a single slice of cheese to go. It came out in a timely fashion. It was cooked very well…read morewith just enough crisp and black spots but also not burnt or crunchy or anything unpleasant. It was a great slice of pizza. My friend order two slices of pepperoni. We waited 15 minutes until my friend got back up and asked them about his slices, it seemed they had forgotten about it and then they quickly handed him his slices after apologizing for the long wait. Despite mine being great, his was not unfortunately. His looks like it was pulled out of the oven early and was still floppy. No crisp to it at all. That's what some people like but I don't believe it's the standard. Despite this, his slices tasted good, I mean, how can you mess up a pep slice. The prices were alright for the area, I think my slice was like almost $4 after tax. I'll probably be back because of the convenience of being able to just order and pay right away and then get a slice a few minutes later. I would overall recommend.

    Although King Street offers a plentitude of stores to shop at south of Calhoun Street, the…read morerestaurants are few and far between. At the time that we were walking along King Street; my dad, brother, and myself became hungry. The cumulative high Yelp-rating led us to Sabatino's Pizza. It turns out, the reviews let us down. Located on Calhoun Street, a shouting distance from King Street and Marion Square, Sabatino's Pizza is primarily a take-out restaurant serving New York style pizza and other comfort food. In the ambiance of this take-out restaurant, we landed the only seat. It overlooked the food counter and menu board. Off the menu board we each ordered the $10.81 lunch special featuring two one-topping slices and a can of soda. The service and food just barely made three stars. Even though we were the only ones there when we walked in and left, there was zero interaction from the woman at the register. We had to look for the plastic utensils, even though she could of told us where they were there when we ordered. She did tell us that they were out of a few sodas. That included diet. The guy making the pizza served two of our pizzas together, then when it came to my brother's order there was only one which made him have to go to the counter to ask for the other one. In truth I wasn't here to make friends but to enjoy a supposedly four star New York style pizza. The two slices just barely made three stars. Although the pizza was decent at best, especially when I was hungry, there were areas of the cheese that were stuck to the crust. As far as toppings, I felt that they skipped on the mushrooms and saudages. My photo corresponding to this business is evidence. I was debating giving them less than three stars. The wildcard is the $10.81price for a rounded up to a decent lunch that relieved our appetites.

    I will preface this by saying that I have a bad habit of visiting restaurants at weird times (4pm…read morein this case), after lunch but before they get into the groove of dinner service. So it's entirely possible (and understandable) that I don't always get the best of what a place has to offer. That said, this was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I was happy to see a place offer NY style pizza by the slice; you don't find that a lot in Charleston. Well, you won't find it here either. It was, generously, a home cook's first attempt at making pizza. There's something fundamentally off with the dough recipe, such that even a wood fired oven can't save it. The slices were overloaded with cheese. It was like eating wet cardboard. The meatballs were pretty good! The bartender was super pleasant and the space is attractive and welcoming. But they cannot make pizza. Normally I'm loathe to air out my business on Yelp like this; I prefer to communicate with the server if there's a problem with my food. But this wasn't an execution issue that could be fixed. A do-over would've produced the same result. Maybe, MAYBE they crush it with the neopolitan specialty pies. But I'll never know.

    pizza was so good,crust was thin with a crispy bottom. i highly recommend the meatball pizza. They…read morenight we went there was also live music. Price wise, the pizza was fairly priced would recommend.
