Great pizza and salad, great service Sat at the bar and the bar tender was so helpful! Loved it!

So I moved to the area about 6 months ago and have tried several pizza spots and although I've had some very delicious pizza, I think this one is my very favorite so far it had amazingly delicious flavor lets be fair I didn't try the plain pizza I got the Talk'in shiitake white pizza and I truly can't wait to go get it again!!! The center of the pie was lacking a little in firmness but the rest and the crust was chef's kiss !!! I went in to pick it up and the hostess was very friendly and helped me right away ! The atmosphere was also really nice I think I will dine in next time they really have my vote I loved it so much !!!

Went back to Benny's to try lunch and everything was excellent. Our waitress was kind and the staff were very welcoming. They offer personal size pizzas at lunch time which is great! They had a wonderful musical playlist and a chill atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing! My husband and I were able to get a table at Benny's Big Time Pizzeria and I now understand why it's always booked. The service was great and the food was outstanding. I wish I could eat their house salad over and over. We split a large house salad and it came in a huge bowl that I thought there was no way we would finish, but we ate every bite. Then my rigatoni alla vodka came out and it was perfect. Everything was so fresh and I could not recommend it more. If you are looking for a delicious meal in a homey, inviting restaurant then try them out.

Already one of my favorite restaurants in Wilmington. SCHEDULE a reservation. It gets busy quick and all for the good. The food, service, menu - all pretty amazing. An assortment of pastas, sauces, flavors, ingredients. As for their pizzas which include red and white sauce listings. The salad itself was impeccable. Large, could feed 3-4 people even. Tossed and dressed perfectly with all the best ingredients you want in a salad. The pizza was the main thing I had my eye on. Came out perfect - sauce, dough, pepperoni, and the chili were actually pretty spicy but still very edible. The service was great, very kind and attentive. Highly recommend, and guaranteed to visit again.

Amazing experience all around! I highly recommend making reservations because the place was busy. We ordered a small Benny's Caesar salad and garlic knots for appetizers. The salad was the perfect amount for two people. Benny's puts Brussels sprouts in it. I am usually not a fan of that vegetable, but it tasted really good in the salad. It probably helped that some parts were fried. The garlic knots were also fried. Everything tastes better fried! For our entree, my husband and I shared the 2021 Space Jam pizza. Again, this was the perfect amount for two people. Their pizzas are Neapolitan style so the crust was lightly charred. Our server was super nice. We were in a party of six and sometimes people weren't the quickest ordering, but she was extremely patient. Seating was close together, but it didn't feel that anyone was intruding in my space and I couldn't hear any conversations from other people's tables. The bar area was really cool. Be prepared to parallel park because it is street parking.

What a find! We were in town for a couple days and in the mood for pizza at lunchtime. I saw Benny's mentioned on a few "must try" lists for NC and specifically, Wilmington. It was very close by to where we were so we decided to try it. It was about 2pm on Sunday, and Benny's opened at 1pm, so great timing. The only lunch hours they have are Saturday and Sunday, during the week they open at 5pm. It is on a street with street side parking but luckily we got a spot in front. It is a solid brick building with a very cool vibe. The inside is very lively. Not your typical pizzeria here, for sure. Loved it immediately. Good choices for different starters and pizzas. No trouble choosing a favorite. We started out with small salads. The small is enormous so glad I did that, and loaded with toppings. Love a salad with lots of ingredients in it. The pizza looked a little larger for me than I wanted so we decided to share one pizza. That's not to say a hungry guy or gal couldn't finish one. I just knew I didn't want a whole pizza so we picked one and shared. The pizza has a chewy crust with crispy edges on it and delicious sauce. We only tried the Big Cheese, but from looking around, I am looking forward to trying other pizzas here. It is one of their basic pizzas, about 12"-15" so you definitely could share, and they serve it on an empty sauce can. I love that! They had a couple desserts on the menu, which we did not try, so this review is limited to 2 small house salads and one pizza. If you are in the Wilmington area, near downtown, stop in to Benny's Big Time.

Best pizza I have had in a long time. We had three types of pizza, cheesy bread and brussel sprouts plus dessert. All of the dishes were amazing. Service was exceptional, this was our first visit and she made us feel right at home like we were family. Atmosphere is casual and laid back with an open kitchen concept. Highly recommend!!

Benny's has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Wilmington. They have Neapolitan style pizzas with options for everyone from vegetarians to meat lovers to white or red pizzas. My personal favorite is the Big Cheese. While they are called a pizzeria, make sure to try out some other portions of the menu. Their take on chicken parm is outstanding and the pickled peppers they use are like crack. They also run some pretty great specials, such as margarita mondays with deals on Margaritas and Margarita pizzas. The ambiance is a bit higher than casual and makes a perfect place for a date. I am excited to keep trying out the rest of the menu!

Looking for a trendy spot to enjoy with friends and family or to go on a date night? Benny's is the perfect place! The menu includes quite a few options for appetizers, three different pastas , & a list of red and white pizza. On Thursdays they have a special where you can get two pizzas and a salad for around $30 so that is what we chose. The pizza was cooked perfectly, with a great sauce to topping ratio. Usually, I am not a salad person but it was one of the best I've had out at a restaurant. Our waitress suggested the snickerdoodle cookies for dessert & we paired it with chocolate gelato which was very rich. Can't wait to visit Benny's again on a margarita Monday!
