Pretty cool concept. Pizza was pretty decent, little pricey for pizza but I suppose the novelty is apart of it. Have revisited a couple times and they are consistent.

If you want great pizza come here. The special pizza is always worth a try. The combinations are often interesting. Always friendly service. The pizza slices are huge which accounts for the higher costs. There is plenty of seating and even a small patio to take your dogs. Very open and airy inside. Give it a try.

28" Pepperoni Pizza!!! So yummy!!!!!!!

This was some pretty amazing pizza!!! Also, considering the size of the pizza, it was perfectly cooked throughout!!!!! Plus it is so fun to get the wow factor from all the friends when you walk in with the giant box!!!!

Cheese Pizza Slice

i love the fact that we can just grab whatever seasoning we need at the self-help bar, yum!!

Unique little inner city pizza joint

It was extremely hard to get to this place with all the road construction going on in front of the restaurant! (Not Benny Scarpetta's fault) I finally parked across the street in the Bank parking lot! It may really nice and accessible once all the road front work is done...until then serious patience! This was my first time to this place, I had heard from college students that this would be a cool place to try out, especially if I was going to have 20+ hungry college students over for dinner! Welp, we figured out it is about the same cost getting at another pizza joint versus Benny's, so for purely nostalgic reasons we decided to drive 24 minutes, we decided to try this place out! So we called a couple of hours in advance for 3 cheese pizzas. (something like $95 including tax). We had it cut into 16 slices instead of the normal 8 slices. We were pleasantly surprised by the very friendly staff here! I was blown away how large the pizza was....it was I think like 28 inches long per pizza. Picking up was heavy... could barely fit through the front door and could barely fit my vehicle! Then arriving home, it barely fit our front door! I had to tilt the pizza box to bring it inside! The guys were blown away how tasty it was, even more, the sheer size of the pizza was a conversation piece! Well by the end the 3 boxes were devoured with a few lagging crumbs! For our first try, this was a cool place! I hope to bring a few folks to eat inside! Based on the taste and customer service, I highly recommend this place! Thanks for the Virginia size memories!

Sliced Italian Sausage Pizza Slice

If you're looking for a slice of pizza as big as your forearm, you've found the right place! Came here to check it out after a friend in VA Beach told me about these guys, since there's two locations near her. Place was pretty deserted on a Wednesday night, but the pizza was good (even if I did wish it was a tad saucier). Came out hot and crispy, and the sausage was delicious. I'd definitely come back, if I'm ever out in this area again!

Notably open on a holiday, this was a pretty classic jumbo slice place. They gave me what might normally be considered a box for a personal pizza, which barely held the two slices I ordered. Haute cuisine it ain't, but this pizza delivered a satisfying mix of flavors. You couldn''t accuse the garlic mushroom slice I ordered of being short on mushrooms, and though they weren't fresh mushrooms they were tasty. They didn't have a ton of topping options, though their drink selection was a little more diverse, and this food was pretty straightforward wheat and dairy and thus not available to everyone. Nonetheless, it delivered about as satisfying of a pizza as I could have hoped for.

Walked up here on a Saturday night because their sign said they were open until 2:30am, but they were closed. What good is a business that isn't dependable? Won't come here again

Sausage Pizza

When we went to this restaurant, there was so much construction that it was extremely hard to find. We received our pizza and were walking back to the car and the pizza slide out of the bag onto the ground. The bag that the girl put the pizza in the bag did not use two bags to secure the pizza. It would be better if there was a box. The pizza was huge and was good but not great. I was disappointed not only in the food but the service.

I've been going to Benny's for nearly 3 years, and I have always had an excellent experience. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice, or picking up a whole pie for your family, you won't be disappointed. I always get the pepperoni, but some of their specialty slices have been really good (Buffalo chicken and Mac and Cheese just to name a few I've seen.) The prices are excellent -- $8 for a huge slice of pizza and a beer -- and it's a great place to hang with friends or pick up to take home. It's not perfect. The options are limited, and if they're really busy wait times can spike quicker than you might think, but if you're looking for good, quick pizza you can't go wrong.

Amazing pizza served fast. A great value for the money. A satisfying and fulfilling lunch or dinner for under $10.

Ok I can deal with a funny shape. But I asked if they had powdered sugar on them. She said yes. ..but that they came with gelato. Um, ok... seems strange but why not. What I received did not have powdered sugar on them. It was cinnamon sugar. Basically these were more like smooth churros. I can't speak to anything else on the menu, so I'll keep it at a 3 star.

I had a pizza before and wasn't the most impressed, but I was willing to give them another try. Craving a salad tonight I decided to order and I'm so glad I did! The large chef salad is huge and packed! Tons of meat and cheese, literally a whole hard-boiled egg, four slices of tomato, multiple slices of cucumbers, etc. There were also 2 large cups of ranch and the ranch was just as amazing! This quite possibly the best chef salad I've had in over 20 years. It really took me back! It's so big I can easily get 2 meals from it. I added a pic under the photos so be sure to check it out. The price was even quite affordable. The only thing I could possibly think would make this better was if they cooked their own bacon, but the bacon bits on the salad were all real and great quality. None of the cheap stuff or artificial bacon bits. I also ordered the cheese bread to have a little something extra with the salad. I was thinking it was going to be cheesy bread sticks maybe, or one of those oval shaped breads covered in cheese. This is actually much bigger and about the size of medium pizza. There is plenty of cheese on it and the olive oil and garlic really put this cheese bread on another level. The crust tastes like pizza crust and the flavor is incredible. I had a large cup of marinara and it is also really good. Everything was exceptional, including the temperature, time, and service. And it may sound odd but the utensils included were also great quality, very durable. I could easily cut up the veggies and meats without concern the utensils would snap. I will most certainly be regularly visting Vitales and ordering this same meal. It's so good I don't know how I could go and not get the same thing. I'm telling everyone I know. Run, don't walk and you can thank me later!

My first and most definitely coming back to try the BBQ brisket sandwich that was sold out so can't wait to try that out. You will not regret. I sure did not. Thank you

A unique and interesting take on pizza…read more This pizza is served on what I call a "cracker crust"... Like thin crust pizza, but much crispier. The crust is a little tough and requires quite a bit of extra chewing, which I was not prepared for. Nevertheless, it was pretty good. I ordered the southern barbecue pizza without bacon. It included brisket, chicken, corn, red onions, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce. Unfortunately, the chicken was unseasoned. I think the pizza would have tasted would have tasted better with a little seasoning on the chicken. However, the star of my dinner was the Downeast Caramel Apple cider on tap. However good you think it sounds, it tastes SO much better than that. If you happen to be near this restaurant during the last few weeks of fall, you HAVE to try this. As a matter of fact, if you see this cider at ANY bar or restaurant you're at, you must try it. Absolutely amazing! My server did an incredible job being pretty much the only server on the floor in a mostly packed restaurant. The bartender was on the floor waiting tables as well but between the two of them, they did an incredible job. Overall, this wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, but after a long day of travel, it hit the spot.
