I recently visited Benny Damato’s Pizza for the first time and had a pretty good experience. The pizza was absolutely delicious – the crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were just perfect The customer service was decent. The staff were friendly enough, but not so welcoming. As for the atmosphere, it could be a bit cleaner. The dining area felt a little cluttered, and the tables could use a more thorough wipe down. I definitely see myself coming back again! I just hope they bring back the Chorizo and Jalapeno pizza

Great pizza pie here. Hole in the wall, reminds me of the NYC style pizza joints. Single counter, single oven,great service. The slices are crazy large, but dang good. Definitely will return, and recommend for a simple delicious slice, leaving you wanting more.

I never thought that one piece of pizza would be enough for a full lunch. And it was very reasonably priced! Stop by for a try and I’m sure you’ll go back again.

Purchased two slices, two bags of chips, and two drinks for 14! Definitely a steal at that price. The pizza was New York style and tasted great. Hard to find a better deal in any major city.

Believe the hype. For a 6 slice of pizza, this was pretty good. The interior is oppressively hot, which is good or bad depwnding on season. Limited seating and all at tall stools.

The pizza here is so huge and tasty as hell. Get a slice the size of a newborn for just 5 even. 10/10 The pizza was made fresh right in front of us by a nice dude. As a broke college student this place being so close to tcc is a god send.

Delicious Late Night Bite. Open passed midnight, large portions, great pricing, and right around the corner from many hotels. After driving 8 hours and checking into my hotel late, I was looking food and the clerk recommended this place. Obviously, I took the suggestion. I was able to walk to the establishment in less than 10 minutes. Being one of the only places open passed midnight, it was a bit busy and only one worker was present. Decor gives hole in the wall. Not much room inside to dine in so many of the guests took their slices to-go. When I saw how large the slices were l realized one slice of pepperoni was gonna be plenty for me and I was not wrong. Finished the night with a satisfied tummy. If I was In town for couple more nights, I would've come back for another late night bite. Thanks to the hotel clerk for the clutch recommendation.
