Bens Pizza

My husband and I popped over to Ben's Pizza after arriving late in Miami Beach. They were open late - thankfully. Ben's Pizza hit the spot. The slices were enormous and very tasty. I got a slice of pepperoni (which of course I didn't take a picture of 🤦🏻‍♀️). The pepperoni was so good. You can tell it's not super processed like a lot of pepperoni. One slice was more than enough. This little pizza stand is cute and totally worthy of a late night pop by.

I was looking for pizza near the Bayfront Park area, and my friend recommended Bens Pizza. Bens Pizza is a casual spot right with waterfront views. I first ordered the veggie slice, complete with zucchini, yellow and red bell peppers, and eggplant. Truthfully, I was not expecting much because of the proximity to all the tourist spots. I was surprised at the great quality and went back for seconds: a classic cheese slice. But here's the breakdown: I thought the toppings were distributed well. It was just the right amount - but I did wish the eggplant was a little more fresh. It was dry. The cheese is a very thin layer, as well as the sauce. I love a saucy pizza, but I understand the light sauce is a compromise in order to make the thin crust possible. The highlight of Bens Pizza is definitely the crust. It's carefully calculated to be thin, fold with ease, and yet has that nice crunch to it in the right spots. See photo and you'll know what I mean. Great ode to New York style pizza. Pricing seems what you would expect to pay because of the proximity to the waterfront/ action. The slices are big - they cut mine into two smaller slices. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Miami! Thanks, guys.

Delicious Classic Slice! I had a classic Margherita slice and it was really good! Thin crust, flavorful sauce (thankfully not ketchup-like), and just the right amount of cheese. You can add oregano and Parmesan on top, which made it even better. For $5, it’s definitely worth it. Simple, tasty, and satisfying – exactly what a good slice should be.

First of all the slices are HUGE ! The pizza is nice and thin but full of flavor with a good size crust (I like crust). We stopped by the location inside of bayside while walking around. Location is great they actually have two one by the water and another one as soon as you get into bayside.

The Pizza was Great ! The flavor was good and I love thin crust/flat dough pizza. There was only a small amount of oil which is perfect because I hate oily pizza.

Another stop while in Biscayne Bay in Miami. This pizza was good! They threw in an extra slice that we all shared.

We were on a trip to Miami, and coming from NYC, we know a thing or 2 about pizza. We ordered the fresh moz slice, and the flavors were on par, the only ding was that it was a tad undercooked, but all in all, pretty good. Also, their concept of a slice, is really 2 slices here in NYC. They call a quarter of a pie 1 slice and they cut it into 2 slices, a bit odd, but no biggie.

Loved the pizza at Ben’s! Fresh, flavorful, and perfect for vegetarians. Great crust, and friendly service. Highly recommend!

You must order the Stracciatella with the pepperoni and hot honey! That was the best combo. The employees made our slices right to order so they were super fresh. We didn't realize you get two slices for the price. And we picked up our order we had way more than we thought we were getting. Which is a nice surprise because it's Miami Over all I have been wanting to try this place for a while now and we just happened to run In to it while we were at the bayside market area. It's a cute little spot for lunch on the weekends. They have live music and they seating is outside on the inter coastal.

*This is for the Dadeland Mall location* I recently tried Ben's Pizza and found it to be rather underwhelming. The pizza was unfortunately overrated, with a crust that was quite dry and lacking in flavor. The sauce was sparse, which left the pizza feeling bland. The cheese was average at best, not really adding much to the overall taste. While it wasn't the worst pizza I've had, I was expecting more given the hype.

Terrible service. Rude men that just stare at you and when you ask a question they literally pfft Weave u off! Who does that !!!! Yet they stand there creepy looking at you while handling the pizzas. Never ever giving these people my money again. Came here because my daughter was dying to try them. But it's disgusting how those men treated her

This pizza was a pretty good pie but nothing special. The service was decent but not the friendliest. All they have is outside dining. So it's loud and awfully hot in Miami so it made it hard to eat while you are sweating. I'm not a fan of pizza by the slice it's just reheated pizza. But this is one of the better ones I have had.

Service great. Timing great and the pizza is out of C this world!! Best pizza I have had in my 30 plus years in Florida!!! Worth the drive.

In the neighborhood has decided to try this pizzeria since it hurts so much. As an added bonus it's so close to home that we can walk here. The slices are basically 2 for 1. The prices are a little bit expensive however considering food court prices, it's within the normal. Rodrigo was it extremely friendly and explained our different choices. Decided on a slice of pepperoni and mushroom. Heat them up and we quickly had the food in our hands. The pizza tasted light and fresh and overall was a good choice.

The customer service was great. The workers were welcoming and I was in and out within 5 minutes. The problem for me is the quality of the ingredients; the tomato sauce was bitter and it was so greasy that it coated my mouth and left me with an unpleasant taste. The seating area by the water is a plus but I'm not sure if I'd return.

I'm a huge fan of any pizza joint that serves hot honey on their pies, so when the craving hit, I decided to give Ben's a try. Nestled inside Bayside, the aroma of freshly made pizza wafting through the air led me straight to its entrance. While the pizza crust was a tad thinner than my preference, the flavors were outstanding. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the sauce struck the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. Opting for the hot stacciatella pizza, topped with pepperoni, hot honey, and stracciatella, was an excellent choice. Each bite offered a delightful mix of sweet and savory flavors that left me craving more. The slices were generously sized, with one slice practically equivalent to two. With ample outdoor seating offering fantastic views of the water and nearby boats, it was the perfect spot to savor my delicious pizza. The bustling atmosphere added to the charm, and the friendly staff provided excellent service. Overall, Ben's exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and satisfying bite while visiting Bayside.

I found for what I paid for this pizza, it was very dry and burnt. I can say I will not be back. Would recommend trying a different pizza place.

Walked by and immediately had a craving for a slice of pizza! Ben's has two locations at the Bayside Marketplace. They have a limited selection of pizza options to choose from but definitely something to m eat the needs of many. Slices range between $10-$12 for two large slice per selection. We ordered the Meat Lovers and the Mushroom pizza. Meat Lovers was the headliner for flavor. The Mushroom lacked major flavor and there could definitely be more sauce added to both. The style is brick oven reheated style thin crust, so definitely a perfect light lunch bite. Service is quick and friendly. Walk up style with options for eat in at nearby tables or to go boxed.

We needed a snack at Bayside. My wife and I shared an order which was 1/4 of a huge pie in 2 pieces. It was thin crust. We got the Hawaiian. We really enjoyed it. I love thin crust pizza. This was not a crispy crust but very foldable. Staff was nice. Quick service for some good pizza! And a nice place to sit by the water to eat it.

Delicious, thin crust slices. The price of the slices on the menu is for a quarter of a pie so technically 2 big slices. We enjoyed had the pepperoni and the plain. The pepperoni was fantastic, you can skip the plain. The pepperoni was full of delicious flavor and the kick of the pepperoni made the sauce stand out. Looking forward to stopping by again for delicious fresh pizza! I truly loooved Ben's.

A slice is all you need! Don't be scared of the price per slice, it's worth it. The pepperoni sandwich is also a must!

(From March 2023) Heading to the Heat/Jazz game, I saw this place on the way so stopped to see what the slices are. The smell enticed me to make a purchase as I went with the mushroom truffle slice and munched on it while walking towards the arena. The slice felt like it was made fresh with the truffle and oils coming through in the tastings. Crust is thin with excellent consistency; slices are enormous as well. It is expensive at $9 for the truffle mushroom but they consider 2 slices as 1 large slice so breaking it down, it's not a bad deal. Customer is fast and the shop is pretty clean. Definitely worth a visit for simple thin slices.

This was my very first time trying this pizza and it recently opened in Dadeland Mall which was great to find out. Was able to try it without driving a ton of miles away from home. I really enjoyed it! it was super flavorful and very NYs pizza alike. The Hawain one was a good 8/10 butttt the other one with the dots of deliciousness was 100/10!!! So good. Service was quick and you know the ambiance was normal. Food court vibes but clean and visually nice.

Quick service Good assortment of pizza by the slice Super thin crust pizza with a ton of flavor Plenty of outdoor seating to people watch

It's about $11 bucks for this huge 2 slice pizza. The crust is thin, the seasoning is great, the topping is packed on, and the sauce is enough. It's actually a killer late night meal. Definitely try it out. The service is quick. The spot is chill in downtown Miami. Definitely come on a cool night!

About time real NY style pizza in Miami... well in the area. Before Ben's, Joes Pizza in Wynwoid was the only option. Ben's Pizza is legit. Had the pepperoni hot honey, mushroom truffle, cheese, and peoerroni with sausage... all delicious. Slices are huge! Glad to see Ben's in the area and save our travel time to Joes in Wynwood.

'Zza after wine is a thing for me, and Ben's Pizza was my latest spot after this last Friday's wine tasting nearby. They're one of the newest restaurants in Bayside and from what I can tell have two spaces: right at the entrance near the old Guess store (yeah I'm that old) and right on the water near the older sit-down Italian place and with a view of the boats and crowds (this is the one I ate at). At least this spot is counter serve where you order one of the pre-made slices, it gets zapped for you and bam! The slices were huge! I'm talking almost bigger than those from a certain old school Miami pie joint. I ordered a Hawaiian (of course) and a pepperoni. Truth be told I would have been good with just one. The slice is light and had a decent crisp to it, and both were pretty generous on toppings. My favorite - begins with an H - had a pretty generous spread of pineapple pieces. It could have used some more ham though. It's certainly a good spot for a bite while touristing. I'm holding it to three stars since at least this space was more like grab and go. The one closer to the entrance I noticed had a few more tables. Maybe if that one has table service I'd round it up next time.

The smell alone brings you to this spot. It's very inviting! Service was quick. Slice was good. If you are into thin crust pizza this is it. Crust was almost cracker like thin. Also not very greasy. Would recommend if in the area and thinking about giving it a try.

Such good pizza Thin like NY style - huge piece!! The bottom isn't soggy at all The people are friendly. Nice atmosphere - little tables outside We had the meat lovers - it was very good

Pizza is delicious, super thin top quality cheese and the crust is crunchy. It's a lil tough to get here with parking and whatnot but go here if you love pizza

WOW the pizza here was a literal slice of heaven. Hot, cheesy, and such huge slices. What more could you ask for in a pizza... If you are in the area and are a pizza lover, definitely check this place out! They have plenty of seating outside and you get to people watch all you want. The employee was friendly and helped me out right away.

Wow, my son and I track BENS PIZZA down and it was amazing, we got a fresh slice of cheese and fresh slice of pepperoni both fresh Mozz out the oven. Thin crust crunchy and just enough ingredients to taste all the flavors Let me tell you they where outstanding. If you are in bay side stop by. No I don't work here I just love good food.

The cashier likes to add "extras" onto your order without your consent. He charged my husband for a soda and a box (at checkout) and when my husband caught it, the cashier gave him trouble saying "no I have to charge you for a box" when my husband ordered pizza to go and asked for a plate. He (the cashier) eventually removed the extra charges, but put a bad taste in our mouths for sure. Won't be going back here for Pizza because why do you feel the need to rob people and over charge? A response would be awesome

You know the times when the food looks so good that you forget to take pictures. Yes that happens with elites also. The pizza ; the ambience was so good that I totally forgot to take a picture. You get pizza slices at this place at super reasonable prices. Bayside marketplace overall is a beautiful place to visit in night to enjoy Miami. This place is situated at a good place and has seating outside. The servers are very friendly. My daughter loved the pizza. Def recommend trying it out if you crave for pizza and don't want to spend crazily at other restaurants at bayside marketplace.

Had been hearing some hype over Ben's Pizza and finally got around to trying it... totally worth the hype! Located at the start of Bayside's marketplace, Ben's Pizza is a pizza lover's paradise. Their pies are a true delish, with a thin, crispy crust and a generous amount of flavorful toppings. The cheese is gooey and the sauce is tangy, creating a perfect balance of flavors. I ordered for pick up and was able to grab n go but the spot seems like a good spot for a casual lunch or late-night snack. The prices are reasonable, considering the quality and taste of the pizza. If you're in downtown Miami and craving a slice, Ben's Pizza is the place to go.

One slice is really 2. Good enough for a tourist location & needing something quick right after a long flight.

Finally tried out Ben's Pizza and it was really great, fast & fresh. Service is ok but it's a pizza spot I won't complain. Small restaurant with amazing music, great vibe

Hands down my favorite pizza spot at the moment!!! Only down fall about going to Bens is that it's located in Bayside.. no local wants to be surrounded by tourist.

At first you see the location and it doesn't look like much, but it's quite the contrary, and if you give them a chance just as I did you will not be dissapointed. good portions for the prices, the seating was very simple but just what's needed. Stop by and have a slice.

I tried this place because mr.eats 305 recommended it and especially this one. He wasn't wrong. The pizza was delicious especially with the sweet what seemed to be honey drizzle made it even better! Place is small but I sat outside. I went during mmw/ultra weekend. And honestly I would definitely come back for another slice. This place was too good not to have. The people on the counter were nice. It took a bit to get my pizza but it was so worth it!

Delicious pizza! They give you 2 slices per order. Immaculate ambiance. Perfect quick bite if you're on the go!

Great pizza with really good prices for the area. Do not miss the The Hot Stracciatella.

Pizza is good and served hot! A little oily but pretty good. You get two slices as one also so that's nice for less than $7. Quick eats option. Give it a try.

The perfect pier pizza. The smell definitely drew me in! Very generous slices. Thin crust, excellent flavors.

poor quality and crust burnt and definitely overpriced for what you got. hardly and sauce or cheese. drinks were in small cups and overpriced compared to all other restaurants in food court! service wasn't so great either... gentleman, might have been owner, wasn't very pleasant...had to ask for napkin, then had to ask for knife and fork. makes Little Caesars look like a gourmet pizza!

This place was simple and good. I'm a Miami local, and we didn't know about this spot (we ate at the Ben's spot at the entrance of Bayside). I met my family here after they did a post-school visit to the Frost museum and I came out of my downtown office. Very casual environment, nice big NY style slice (not saying it's award winning, but it was better than average), and good space for my two kids to eat and be able to run around the Bayside front entrance. Tip: if you want a beer with your pizza, grab a to-go plastic cup beer from Bubba Gump's next door (I recommend the "Jenny" blonde beer). Question for owner/ community: is there a second Ben's located inside of Bayside in the row of restaurants?

Located in Bayside. They have delicious pizza! Very big portion in terms of slice, thin crust. Only outdoor seating so be very careful with the birds outside

Delicious pizza. I could have eaten the whole pie!!! Very soft and mouthwatering. We got it right before a Miami Heat game. Will definitely make it a pre game tradition,

Very good cheese pizza . A pronounced sauce would've made it perfect . They had cheese pepperoni and mushroom slices which is very limited selection which is another downside . Quality of the crust , the chew and the flavor are all very high though .

First the good. The slices are huge. Thin crust and actually tastes ok. However, not worth $6 for a slice. They are located in a prime location with heavy tourist foot traffic. They should have cheaper prices and make up the difference in volume of sales.

Firs time here!!!! Really good THIN pizza. Just the way I like it. Big slices too. I thought I was wanted two slices until my husband showed me the size of them and I was only able to eat one slice......definitely will return again when I get the urge for pizza.

Bumped into Ben's pizza coming off the boat from the marina. Good pizza, huge slices ! One slice is really two slices , so start off easy lol

Worth every penny, OMG BEST THIN CRUST PIZZA. The SLICE IS HUGE it's like 2 slices. Wow I could eat this everyday, great employees and very clean

First time in Miami, Florida, and I just happen to stumble upon the Bayside boardwalk, and found probably one of the best pizzas in Miami. Karina was so amazing and just so pleasant. The scenery is amazing , beautiful location.

Bayside needed some new life and Ben's Pizza is bringing it. Quick slices or full pizzas for the group are readily available with waterfront views and cozy outdoor dining. I have a new favorite local pizza spot in the area and the chef is doing it right.

Expensive pizza at $12 a slice! On top of that the restaurant worker placed the bucket of tomato sauce on the ground, scooped the tomato sauce out then placed it back in the fridge without disinfecting the bottom.

service was bad and they charge .50$ cents for a to go box...pizza was good just poor customer service....
