Benito's Chicago Eatery

We came here to try out the Chicago style pizza. I have gone to Chicago and had the "real" Chicago style pizza, so I'm using that as something to compare this chain to. First of all, the waiter was very nice and professional. The pizza was ready in about half an hour, which is average for a Chicago pizza. The pizza itself was delicious! The crust was soft on the inside, yet crisp pm the outside. There was a good amount of cheese. The pizza was really filling, I could only eat 2 slices! Is it as good as the original stuff? No. But it's pretty darn close, and well worth the money

Hands down the best and most authentic Chicago deep dish pizza in the seattle area . I wish they made the Chicago style thin crust that has become another Chicago staple. not too crazy about the Italian beef sandwich. the meat and the bread are excellent as well as the flavor but I always used to get my sandwich dipped in the gravy which made for a very juicy sandwich. I asked him to do this every time but I guess they forget. the hot dogs are good nothing out of the ordinary or rather extraordinary. Another thing I wish they had more of on the menu is appetizers. but other than those two things I can't say much bad about Benito's. I love that it is in Ballard and so close to my home. whenever I need a fix for deep dish pizza Benito's will always be my number one go to spot.

I'm a huge fan of chicago-style pizza. The crust was excellent. The sauce was decent. The presentation - it was definitely of Chicago. The price was good - I think it was $22 for a 14-inch spinach. (Two slices should fill you up comfortably.) They also have a delivery area. I would go here again, or get delivery when I'm at a friend's place within their delivery zone. I still prefer Delfino's, but Benito's is a respectable step up from Kylie's.

This place has amazing hot dogs, but the deep dish pizza leaves something to be wanted. I visited this place a few times a year ago and again just recently, and I feel like they've changed the recipe. I'm docking one star because of that and the wait time, but the food there is just amazing.

Best Chicago beef in Seattle by far! Being a Chicago boy myself, I've searched far and wide for a beef sandwich like I used to enjoy back home, until Benito's came along, my searches had gone without success....juicy/savory plates, quality meat, and awesome service is what you'll get at Benito's.... Additionally, they're homemade coleslaw is one of a kind and makes a unique flavor out of an ordinary side dish.

Great staff and good flavors. This Chi style pizza was a little different then what I am use to having. I an used to having all the toppings baked in to the pie with scoops of sauce on top. This ones has toppings on the top...I guess that's why they call it toppings though.

Sorry to give it one star... took 3 hours to get our pizza even though we were the only ones there. When we got it, it was soggy and raw. We were told we were idiots and that's how it should be. That's odd... never had raw pizza in Chicago. Avoid if you like good service or decent food.

This ain't authentic Chicago food. Italian beef isn't soaked through with sauce, I'm not convinced the gardeniera is authentic, and CUCUMBERS on a Chicago hot dog? You were otherwise close, but it should be a pickle spear, not cucumber slices. Ingredients seem fresh and all, and this may satisfy Seattlites or people who've been away from Chicago for too long, but if you want the real deal, you'll be a little confused.
