Rustic pick for artisanal Neapolitan pies, starters, pastas & soft-serve ice cream plus beer & wine.
"Among the several wood-fired pizza options in the East Bay, Benchmark is one of the best. The crust is superb even when reheated, and the wide selection of local veggies and herbs that adorn the pizzas is impressive. Any pizzeria that tops pizza with fried sage is doing something correctly, and Benchmark is one of those places. The shop also serves excellent antipasti and pastas." - Dianne de Guzman, Noah Cho
"Benchmark Pizzeria, a small East Bay wood-fire pizza restaurant, owned by Melissa and Peter Swanson, encountered an issue with Groupon reactivating an old coupon without their consent. The restaurant, known for its ingredient-focused, Cal-Italian style pizza, had a previous negative experience with Groupon customers who did not fully appreciate the restaurant's offerings. The involuntary reactivation led to angry customers demanding half-price meals and created additional stress for the restaurant, which is already struggling during the pandemic." - Luke Tsai
"Benchmark’s original Kensington location is offering its full menu of pizzas, pastas, and other Cal-Italian dishes for takeout 4:30–9 p.m. Soft-serve ice cream and bottles of wine are also available. Order online, call 510-647-9724 to set up curbside pickup, or get delivery via Caviar." - Luke Tsai
