Benny Ferrovia’s Pizza

As a native New Yorker, the pizza flavor is good but not my personal favorite but I'm completely in awe of the size of the pizza always! The atmosphere is always chill. The staff always warm and inviting. Even with my autistic son running a muck and hollering; I have never feel unwelcomed or a bother, which means so much to me. Benny's is very much worth every bite and penny.

This Benny’s is the the best Benny’s. We literally come here every single Tuesday and pack out a couple of the tables after coming from prayer night. Lorenzo is the best. If you see him, tell him “Declan says hi.”

I want to give a huge shoutout to the employee who was working last night completely on his own — he absolutely crushed it. Even with a long line and only 30 minutes before closing, he moved incredibly fast without sacrificing friendliness or professionalism. Having worked in a restaurant myself, I know how tough that kind of situation can be, and I was genuinely impressed by how he kept such a positive attitude throughout. He went above and beyond under pressure and definitely deserves recognition for his hard work and great service.

I have had Benny's Pizza in Manassas Virginia and it was one of the best pizzas I have had outside of NYC. Benny's in Charlotte is just as good. We had a great slice of cheese pizza. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend.

This has to be one of the worst pizzas I've yet to have. I ordered a large pie, 1/2 cheese, 1/2 mushrrom at a price of $40 and change. 36" is the only size they sell. Alternatively, 7+ dollars per slice. I ordered a large pie to get a fresh pizza tasted as the slices were sitting out. Sadly, the pizza lacked a quality ingredients taste and feel. The cheese has no stretch and felt dry,, the pie itself had very little sauce, which also attributed to its dry feel. The dough was cooked and browned on the bottom. However, it lacked crunch, it had more of a moist doughy texture/feel. Overall, mediocre pizza compared to an authentic Italian pizzeria, I would compare it to frozen supermarket pizza, perhaps one step up because if it is colossal size First and last time visit.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The staff clearly do not wash their hands, which is extremely concerning when dealing with food. On top of that, they are rude, nasty, and completely unprofessional when speaking to customers. The place itself is dirty and looks like it’s not properly cleaned or maintained. It made me very uncomfortable being there. There’s also a guy with ginger hair who always has an attitude and treats customers like they’re an inconvenience. Customer service is nonexistent. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that values cleanliness and respect.

Pizza was amazing! Really enjoyed the mushroom garlic. The pepperoni is pretty tasty here. Has a bit of a different spicy kick. Would recommend if you’re looking to get 1 giant slice of pizza with a cold brew to start the night.

Please train your staff to properly handle online orders. I placed an order for two 14” cheese pizzas and arrived around 9:50 PM on 4/13/25. The man behind the counter didn’t greet me, just asked “what can I get you?” I told him I was picking up an online order, gave my name, and he claimed nothing was there. I showed him my phone with confirmation and updates, and he said he didn’t know how that system worked—said he’d never seen it before. Instead of asking for help, he kept acting like the order didn’t exist. After spelling out my name clearly (Issa), he finally found the pizzas sitting right behind him on top of the oven the entire time. This was my first time visiting, and I won’t be back. If your staff doesn’t know how to work with online orders, at least train them to ask someone who does. Customer service matters. (I’ll be posting a photo of the pizza too—but honestly, I didn’t even feel like tasting it after that experience.)

I popped over from Hi-Wire next door for slices to go and it was a great choice. Yes, the pizza slices are $5+ here but when you see that it's from a 28" pie and one slice covers TWO plates, one slice is a meal in itself. Meatballs for me, mushrooms for Mrs. K. and it did not take long for them to get topped and heated and boxed up. Cody, the dude who was slinging pizza this evening, was a great conversationalist while we waited for the heating up process. A real trip and a pleasant person! Great pie from Benny Ferrovia's! (If you're taking pizza back to Hi-Wire, look for the special spot for dropping off / stacking up pizza boxes so the bins don't fill up!)

Affordable, fast and service with a smile! Quick lunch and short on scratch come here for sure! The pizza slices are huge (as you may or may not have heard in every other review) and for $6.50 a very nice affordable belly filler. The pizza though, is pretty bland. Sauce, cheese and crust were meh. Also, I had the 3 pigs and while the toppings were plentiful (except the 4 small pepperoni) they were not baked into the pizza. I've read in other reviews that they all start as cheese and then when reheated the toppings are added. I can't verify this but I can say that I had a plate full of toppings by the time I was done. Oh, and the ranch def tastes like it came from a can. Again, can't verify that but had that "hidden valley Costco size bucket" taste. So, price is great, staff are awesome, but the star should be the food and this just wasn't it. Much better options nearby though you will spend a little more.

Service is great & space is causal and eclectic. The slices are HUGE so start with one! I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately in terms of NY Pizza this missed the mark on flavor. The texture & execution is not bad but the flavor is lacking - very basic cheese mix and the sauce is nothing special. Very greasy without the payoff of "good" greasy flavor. I didn't finish my slice and don't care to return. If you're in a pinch and need to fill a pizza craving, this may do, but I would not go out of my way for this slice in particular. Note: I am a harsh critic with pizza and originally from Long Island. Yes, I know. Do with that what you will!

The managers and the employees really care about the customers experience! Great hospitality!

Food was great. I got slice of cheese and slice of 3 meat pizza and it was banging. The guy working was very kind and enthusiastic. He communicated very well and deserves a lil bonus or something. Would recommend to any za lovers to try it out. Stopped here on a whim and was not disappointed. Good af bro

We should have believed the reviews that said these slices were giant. We were feeling hungry so ordered SIX slices. For TWO people. Needless to say, we have leftovers on leftovers. My fave of the bunch was The Mac (veg special for July) followed by the pepperoni. I grew up on Papa John's garlic sauce, and I was so excited to see a garlic dipping sauce option on the menu. Nostalgic & delicious. Benny's is a solid place to grab a slice that will fill you up and hit the spot!

AMAZING! HUGE! WOW what a great find! I will definitely be coming back for a 28" pie. The pizza is literally the size of my head. Guys behind the counter were phenomenal and were helpful/attentive. Restaurant was kept nicely and felt inviting. Definitely stop by.

Benny's! I've been wanting to try Benny's ever since I saw a post with a girl holding a pizza spice up to her face. I always thought "her head is probably small." Welp, mine is definitely not haha. The pizza slices are indeed humongous. One slice is enough for anyone. I don't care who you are. One slice is enough! It's a small, super casual pizza place with tvs. If we're in the area and craving pizza again, we will return.

1st time at this location. Solid pizza as always. No issues with service or food. Took a star away because the lobby needed cleaning

We love Benny's - especially the Noda location - but this location has been more of a "miss" the past 2 times we've gone. The flavors are great, but the pizza isn't fully cooked and the toppings don't have time to bake into the cheese. I should say, it seems like this location does base cheese pizzas and then adds toppings when you order. Case in point, my three little pig slice last night. When I folded it, all the toppings rolled into the middle. Same with my kids pepperoni, when she picked it up, they just slid off. It would be fine, if they gave the pizza ample time to bake in the oven, so the cheese could melt and be the "glue", but it hasn't been the case recently. The girls working there were super nice and double cut my kid's pizza without issue (but I did ask the gentleman when he took my order to do that, so I'm glad I checked before leaving).

Loved my first experience!!! I read they have a parking lot but we parked across the street in The Penrose parking deck 45 minute retail parking. Bennys is nicely decorated, played great music and had lots of booths inside! They also have a covered patio which is where we sat with our dog. Don't expect a ton of different pizza options, they had cheese, pepperoni, and a couple specials. They also have a refrigerator with lots of drink options- non alcoholic BUT they also have beer. They have a freezer with ice cream as well. The pizza is HUGE. and amazing. One slice is plenty for one person and it was so good!! They also have ranch for .50 cents. We will definitely be back!

We were told to expect big slices and yet we still underestimated how big the slices were when we planed an online order. We ordered five slices and it lasted us at least four meals. And don't sleep on their specialty pizzas. I was skeptical about the mac and cheese pizza, but it works.

Being a NY pizza snob and searching high and low for a good slice, Bennys knows exactly what they are doing! They offer pizza by the slice and pie. I do also like the variety of beverages they offer! If you're looking for a casual, fun, and laid-back environment, this is the place to go! Their original location in NoDa is great too! That is where I had my first Benny's experience, but that location is not ideal for me, so I was super pumped when they opened up in Southend!

Coby & UJ are ROCKSTARS!!! Best service at a pizza place ever. And the pizza was AMAZING! Not gonna lie I had some low expectations just because I have rarely been impressed by a pizza joint but this place was PERFECTION! You can tell they put their heart into it and I can hardly wait to bring my kids there! I ordered a basic cheese pizza and a slice was bigger than my head and DELICIOUS!!!

After a successful pizza endeavor with Benny Pennelo's, we realized Benny Ferrovia's was closer to us, so we ordered another whole pie from there. This time we ordered the Jamaican Jerk pizza. It was delicious! The pizza once again lasted days as leftovers, and was just as good each time! (I recommend re-heating in the oven) The pizza was done quickly. The service was great. This is a smaller location than Pennelo's, but still a nice spot! 10/10 recommend! There are several Benny's in the area, each with a different name behind Benny.

My boyfriend and I went here on Valentine's Day after playing games at 16-bit. Not the fanciest Valentine's Day dinner, but he knows I am a pizza lover. Now Benny's has the largest slices of pizza I've seen in the city, so definitely go hungry! The pepperoni is literally my favorite - trust me! It's really a no frills, low key atmospheres, so go for a good slice and a beer or cider. The service is decent - it does take a little while for the huge slices to warm up.

The pizza slices here are HUGE! I tried the Versace slice which was a special slice of the day. It's a cheese slice topped with garlic pesto, onions, and green peppers. I believe the specials change daily. There's also a list of different beers to buy and outdoor seating is available. Friendly service. I will be back next time I'm in town.

1st timer all the way from Nashville Tn. This place was AMAZING! The pizza slice needed 2 plates to carry it to my seat! It was very tasty and the employee was very nice. They played very good music and they have outdoor seating.

it's a Benny, what else do you really need to know? If you like Benny's you'll probably like it here, if you don't then you might not but maybe you will because it's a slightly different Benny (hint: Ferrovia -vs- Penello) nice overhead and extra casual atmosphere, the counter seats facing out front are totally high - like crazy high - plenty of normal seating is available inside and out, shake is on the counter if you want to lively things up some, and the fridge is full up with a variety of beverages healthy or delicious depending... the pizza comes in four standard flavors plus two specials and it's far too large to eat in and almost too big for to go. so if the magnitude of the situation is too vast or the options too sparse excuse yourself quietly, find a gimmick you can live with, and I'll have your fun-sized slice or two instead... and a slice of sriracha to go to the airport for the cutest of chicks because she's been planing around all afternoon :-) so how about it?

Just a great experience! Husband and I got three slices and three drinks. Dinner for under $25 with tip and we left FULL! The Bobby Bruschetta is on rotation and won't be there much longer, but it was so good. Just had so much flavor. My husband had the Italian sausage and he liked the flavor, too. We split the pepperoni and it's what I expected after trying mine. Add in two cokes and a water - nothing weird there. The staff was awesome and the food was quick. All in all a great experience! Will be back for these massive slices.

They have great customer service. The staff is friendly. The establishment is neat, organized and clean. The slices are "massive"! There's indoor/outdoor seating and parking in a large lot. There a full array of beers to pair nicely with your pie. Come give them a try. Perfect location!!!

This was not at all your typical pizza joint, you can tell that the owners really appreciate the value that they provide their customers as well as providing a lot of variety. You cannot go wrong with this place, the quality of the food is really good and the size of the portions are huge. We always had ton to take home. The atmosphere was definitely casual! You can come at anytime of day and in any attire and feel right at home. The combination of good food, good customer service and great prices makes this a go-back-to kind of place!

Meh, I can't say anything great about this place. It's just a pizza spot. A pizza spot that I don't have to revisit. It wasn't awful pizza, but it wasn't good enough to merit a repeat visit. I had a plain cheese slice and I wasn't wowed. The place is nice with indoor & outdoor seating and it's about 7$ for a cheese slice and a Coke.

Me & my family tried Benny's today for the first time! It was GOOD!! After moving her from NY we had a hard time finding good pizza and let's just say we found our new spot! The service was amazing the person who took our order was friendly and soooo chill! Don't know his name but he had blonde hair and a big beard (lol) . I will surely be back!

Pizza came cold and burnt. Extremely thin slices with barely any sauce. Very disappointing.

Everything but the crust was top notch. I'm a fan of the crispy crust. A little char never hurt anyone. When you file a slice it should stay straight and not fold over to the side. But the cheese, sauce and toppings are all first class. The ambiance and service are also high quality. But if you're looking for a great slice, then this may not tickle your fancy. They're open late, have tons of parking and the the space can accommodate groups of all sizes. It's worth a try...

When I tell you we had a ball at this brand new Benny's location!!! Went with a group of about 6 on a Saturday. Parking was an absolute breeze in their fancy new parking lot in South End. Can we normalize new businesses in South End having a parking lot please?! :) This was great. I ordered the speciality pizza called: "Hot Lips": it was topped with banana peppers, pineapples and some other deliciousness. It was the best slice of pizza I've had in YEARS, no lie! So damn good!!! I've thought about going back for it at least everyday since haha. The staff was cool and helpful. We started playing Uno and got pretty loud and rowdy and no one kicked us out, so thanks for letting us have fun!!! We really had a great time!! We even took some time to draw our own plates to add to their plate wall. IDK if that's usually for kids but hey...we're all kiddos at heart after all lol. Stop by and see our beautiful plate art up on the wall any time. I thought the idea was super fun and a great way to get customers involved while dining inside. Okay, I'm just obsessed with Benny Ferrovia's, whatever. LOL

The Virginia slice at Benny's is very similar to New York style in terms of cheese-crust-sauce ratio. The difference is the slice is at least 2x bigger. What I really love about Benny's is that they are open late for those crazy cravings. During the week, they are open until midnight and 2 or 3am on the weekends. Their menu is fairly simple and straightforward - no frills. They do have a monthly rotation of two additional options - one meat and one veggie. Tip: For the single topping slices, you can add an additional topping for a small upcharge... for example, if you want a pep + sausage slice. I also really love the baked goods here. I can't remember the name of the business that supplies them but the cookies are omg. They are pretty pricey ($4.50) per cookie but XL in size. I had to double back last time they were so good. You can sit outside on the patio for a streetview and I like that they have a free parking lot. I've only been during the day so not sure what parking is like in the evenings.

I wanted to take away stars for the cashier that "helped" me. But i chose peace today. I will say that he was borderline rude and should find another place of employment if things are that bad. Customer service is not for him. This "Bennys" franchise pizza quality was better than the one in NODA. I ordered 3 different slices and they were all good. Will definitely stop buy again in the future.

Service review only as I didn't even get to order. Came in at 6:30 on a Thursday. Couple of customers around. One person behind the counter making pizza. No one even acknowledged me. Stood at the counter for 5 minutes with no anyone even looking to take an order so I walked out. Benny's in Noda is great so I was really sorry to have this experience.

No line, there was a total of 1 couple standing behind us. And we were at the register... Yet the staff were acting like they were super busy, Awfully rude service , furthermore worst pizza ever. Stopped in around 9pm on a Friday night to order a whole pie to take home for a small friends-gathering. Young lady at counter rudely said they couldn't sell full pies at the moment that they were busy, we said we were willing to put in an order, be notified to pick up and go next door to grab a drink while we waited. She persisted saying that they could not due to them being behind and could only sell slices, without any logic behind it, since we stated we had time to kill.... We should have just left... But Reluctantly we decided to order slices -- which gets odd because when she asked "how many slices", my buddy said 4, (at which point is already half a pie) and then we pondered if we should order a couple more slices, since original plan was to bring home an entire pie.... The Young lady seemed ok to sell us any amount of slices.....?????!? Math anyone ? Additionally, while paying, they opened the oven, which had 4 brand new pies about done.

I stopped for a slice of pizza after visiting Hi-wire brewery. I ordered the specialty slice Belushi which comes with bacon, beef, crispy onions, and a cheese sauce. The pizza was delicious and the portion sizes are huge. I received my slice of pizza in no time, no more than 3 minutes. Great value!

Every time I come here it always feels like I've known them all my life. I am always greeted with a friendly 'hello' which makes me feel so welcomed. Places these days can act really inconvenienced when you walk into their establishment, but not Benny's! The pizza is always hot and presented well and the atmosphere feels like your favorite family owned biz from back home. Benny's you have my heart!

I've been hearing so much about Benny's that I decided to come for dinner at their new south end location. I got their current special which came with peppers and some other veggies. They heat up the pizza but you could tell it had been sitting out for awhile / can't beat freshly made pizza. However, I still thought it was enjoyable especially with garlic sauce and I love how big the slices are. They are a little pricey as one slice was $7 and I was still hungry after. Overall I liked the pizza but wouldn't say it's the best in Charlotte

Benny's graced Charlotte with their second location in south end. This is my favorite pizza spot in the city without a doubt. They know how to make an incredible slice of pizza. The pizza is a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny. They offer the speciality options and they never disappoint. God bless Benny's.

Incredible NY style pizza! Thin slice with a doughy crust...not to mention it's HUGE. Will be coming back here for sure!!!

My son wanted some pizzas. I swear he could've live on it. Guess he will be just fine in college. But I just realized that Benny's opened another location close to my work in Southend, Eager to get some take out.. I did an online order. Some reason I thought I was leaving at 5pm. So I set my order for that time. Realizing my mistake. I called back. And the gentle lady on the phone said she will change it. Online order was a breeze. I came a little early, maybe around 5:40 and the order was set for 6pm.. The gentleman who was doing my pizzas doesn't seem too happy when I said I was early. My apologies, don't bite my head off. I'm just checking in. All in all, good quality pizzas is what I get from Benny. Just like the one in Noda. My son don't eat the crust so before I let him touch the pizza. I cut the crust off and ate it.. It's crusty, comforting and filling. of course if you ever have these slices at Benny. You know the crust will be huge too.. Glad there's more locations because they provide good pizzas for $5/6 per slices. They open late which is a very good thing. And you can alway count on a filling meal for cheap.

These gotta be fake reviews. I hate to badmouth a local place but this pizza is awful. I ordered two slices and a couple sodas for delivery, also one of the sodas was wrong. The slices are huge and that's about it. I ordered one pepperoni slice and one sausage. I started with the pepperoni, crust was meh and slightly doughy should of cooked longer, barely any cheese at all and no flavor, sauce was awful, no flavor except occasional sweetness and not much else. I picked the sausage off second slice and threw rest away. I love pizza and we have great Charlotte options, sadly this is not one. I've literally had better taste from the frozen isle and that's the truth! Remember bigger is not always better... In response to the owner, I've had door dash take to long and ruin food, or take to long and pizza be cold but still edible this was not a door dash issue. As you can see from the pictures I added, the crust was way undercooked it was basically white, you can also see the cheese or lack of cheese I should say. I hate to beat a dead horse but I want people to have a fair understanding of what they might encounter. Anyone that's says this is the best pizza in Charlotte is either a fake review or has no taste buds, it's comical. Even if the crust had been properly cooked, as I already said your sauce and cheese leave a lot to be desired. I don't see any reason to give a second try in person or otherwise.

It was worth the drive across town for this enormous slice of pizza. The server was so kind and helpful because I could not decide which slice to pick. It had a cool vibe that when I sat to eat I felt totally relaxed and it took me back to my childhood days. And I Iove that they had cookies and brownies for purchase from a local business. Go check them out and bring your appetite.

This might be one of the worst pizza places in Charlotte and I'm not sure how they got their rating. Went to grab a slice with the wife a few months back. Ordered and had to wait 20 mins or so for our slices so we grabbed a beer next door and then I returned to grab our slices while my wife sat at our table next doo. Sat down only to realize mine was Luke warm and her mushroom slice was completely cold and they had just throw the mushrooms directly on top of a cold cheese slice. We haven't returned and probably never will.

I am from Jersey and this pizza tasted and smelled exactly like home! my son absolutely loved it and so did I! I cant wait to come back and order again! Its feels good to find the perfect pizza place... Bennys is it!! sauce is fantastic, cheese bussing, crust perfect, mmm and so is the customer service !!!

I absolutely hate writing bad reviews more than anything but this pizza was nasty. While I appreciate the gimmick of the huge pie and slices, bigger is definitely not better. I got a pie delivered to have with a friend and it was a cold undercooked mess, simply inedible. Not sure how it has such good reviews, even as drunk food I couldn't see myself getting this again. There is actual good pizza in Charlotte but it's not here.

My favorite pizza place is Charlotte! Benny's never disappoints. Service is pretty fast and friendly and the environment is very casual. If you are a pizza lover, definitely try this place out!!

Came to Benny's for a slice after grabbing a beer at Hi-wire and everything was delicious. I got a slices styled after bruschetta with diced tomatoes, garlic, Italian spices and balsamic drizzle; it was delicious! So flavorful it made me happy with my vegetarian choice instead regretting my staple pepperoni. My cousin got a special slice with spicy cherry tomatoes and banana peppers that smelled fantastic as well. Great place to end the night and the whole pizzas are big enough for any party you may have. Our party couldn't even finish it!

Benny's is always a great experience. The pizza slices are huge and delicious. They make a thin crust pizza, however I'm only able to take down 2-3 slices max (and I have a very big appetite). The good thing with Benny's is that they're open until almost 2AM on the weekends, so when the bars close, it's always the late night spot. The slices are around $8-15, though it's tough to compare apples to apples due to the size. The staff are also very nice and funny. Every time I go there we always get into an NFL debate with the people behind the counter around Manning vs. Brady (still think Brady is way better). All in all, would strongly recommend for a great pizza spot.

Garlic mushroom is so bad! Looked like canned mushrooms. Crust was undercooked. We showed up 3 hours before closing and were treated like we ordered after they closed. Worse pizza I've ever had.

So excited to have a late night pizza joint in South End! Open until 3am Friday and Saturdays. It's so close to my apartment, I love it! The slices are HUGE, one slice is plenty filling and the ranch is delicious! Located just around the corner from multiple local bars and breweries. I can't wait to see what else moves into the area!!

Finally, a pizza by the slice near me! Benny Ferrovia's is associated with Benny Pennello's in Noda and serves pizza by the slice! I got their sausage pizza for $6 along with some garlic dipping sauce. The pizza slice was huge and filled me up! It was delicious and I loved the big sausage pieces they put on top! This is a perfect place to go when you're craving pizza! For $6, you can't go wrong!

Benny Ferrovia's a chain famous for their huge 28 inch pizzas. A very good pizza and a really good deal when you consider a 28-in pizza has four times the volume of other chains normal 14 inch large pizzas. Benny's Charlotte Southend located at 240 West Tremont is well kept with a very cool vibe, featuring fast friendly service and serving a delicious pizza with a perfect crust. Benny's checks all the boxes and definitely earns five stars.
