Lauren MacApril 17, 2016The "grandma's pizza" (cheese, tomato sauce, basil sauce) is solid, and the rice balls were surprisingly delicious (warm cream and rice, breaded)! Great for a quick, affordable meal in Soho.
Chefs FeedAugust 3, 2016"The square slice has a slightly sweet sauce that is the perfect complement to the melted mozzarella cheese, and its lightly pan-fried bottom crust speaks to my soul." - Chef Jim Botsacos Read more
L JNovember 19, 2012I've been eating here for almost 10 years, easily on of the best pizza spots in NY. Anytime I'm in soho, that's the go to spot for a slice. Specialty pizzas are nice, but still can't beat the classic!
ZenFoodsterOctober 15, 2015Great pepperoni & mushroom slice w/ good sauce & a hint of garlicky crust
- Serious EatsApril 13, 2013Plain slices here are disappointing, but don't miss the Palermo, a thick, awesome Sicilian slice topped with bread crumbs and onions. Great Italian ices, too.
Aileen SimJanuary 21, 2015Best calzone I've had in.. ever! And excellent service too. They were out of ham and cheese, but he offered to add ham to a 4cheese one. Awww..
- Serious EatsJanuary 18, 2012A standout NYC slice. Try the Palermo if you want a change of pace. Read more
Oz Moving & StorageMarch 22, 2016"Ben’s large, crunchy slices fill up patrons slightly more than your average nyc fare. Near Washington Sq. Park, this is a good tourist spot." - TJ, Oz content writer
The sicilian pizza is great, the whole wheat pizza is great. And they have gluten free crust if you need that.- Lots of mixed reviews of this place, but the White Slice is SOLID. Probably the best I've had in NYC and highly recommended.
Phil CalçadoMarch 14, 2016Great regular slices, and one of the few places with nice gluten-free options
Nicole MarcelliniOctober 10, 2012If this is the best pizza of NY, what tip would you leave visiting Napoli? But it's a good deal after shopping on Spring, defenitely.
David GreenbergerJuly 15, 2013I'm usually a variety guy, especially when it comes to pizza, but a fresh, plain slice from Ben's is off the charts.
David BresslerFebruary 10, 2014Best pizza but they no longer enforce their no talking on the phone rule. Just ate while a guy walked in circles around my table talking on the phone (he wasn't even a customer).
Kelly BoneMay 28, 2013The Palermo--with marinara, sauteed onions and breadcrumbs-- is a must try slice!- The Palermo square speaks for itself. I would do unspeakable things for this pizza, good thing I don't have to.

It's all about the square pizza here. My fav is tomato onion well done.
Sean FieldOctober 8, 2011During the summer use the walk-up window. Walk all the way in towards the back when ordering inside.
Simon TschinkelJanuary 15, 2016They won't serve you water here unless it is in a bottle. They say they have no tap water but that is a lie as they have a soda fountain.
- Kate KAugust 21, 2011Total dive, but the pizza is always good. Try the Grandma or the Marinara square slice.
Capt AwesomeJuly 26, 2016No frills in the food, only the pricing has frills. #over-Priced must be tourist/nyu/soho pricing
Ilie KimAugust 17, 2014$10 minimum for credit card, but gave the stank eye for using one on a $14 order. #customerservice
Patrick HealyJuly 2, 2010Scene from Men In Black 2 was filmed her (watched it happen). Don't be fooled, this place is no joke. Pizza is great. They don't need the publicity.
